All the most important and interesting from the exhibition "Gamery-2016"
South Korean company Zepetto , famous for the popular multiplayer shooter Point Blank , I presented her new project at Igomir – Battle Carnival. The conditionally-free shooter will be distributed in Russia based on the Gamenet platform, and the exit is scheduled at the end of this year.
At the exhibition, we managed to chat with the representative of Gamenet and learn something new about the game.
Carnival of stereotypes
We will start the analysis of Battle Carnival with characters, which developers consider charismatic and cool. Gamenet explained that it is unusual heroes that will attract the attention of the players to the project and provide him with a rebellious image.
Now there are eleven heroes in the game, but it is possible that in the future there will be more.
► The whole team assembly.
Warriors Rumble Jack, Phoenix and Papi seemed to have fled from popular network shooters who are familiar to most genre lovers. When looking at the scumbag Killjoy instantly recall Payday. This is probably why during the first stress test Killjoy became the most popular hero among Russian players.
As for the rest of the characters, we will give the charm of Lady and Taruntula as an example. After all, it is enough to dial in the section of the pictures of any search engine “Cowgirl” or “Sexy Nurse” to evaluate how “unique” these heroines are “unique”.
Nevertheless, there are characters in Battle Carnival, whose appearance cannot be called stereotypical. Jimmy King – Funny hybrid Jimmy Hendricks and Singer Prince. Cindy is a small eccentric streamer that reminds the main character of anime [DR.Slump] (JavaScript: View (981.595, ‘http: // puu.SH/RPJQ3/458595E51F.png ’);).
As for the anime, then his main amateur in Battle Carnival will be Fat Boy-a fat man from Australia, who loves anime-figures and video games. Another interesting hero is Queen: a pretty active athlete with truly royal virtues lower than the lower back.
► a typical warrior can be put on something funny.
Zepetto and Gamenet do not deny that the design of the characters actively exploits the images popular among different age categories of players. Fortunately, now the problem with the appearance of certain characters to a large extent solves wide opportunities for configuration. The store sells a basic set of costumes, accessories and small decorations. So if you have been disgusting the appearance of the hero, then for a fee it can always be changed. In the future, it is planned to introduce costumes that will not only change the appearance of the character, but also update the entire additional arsenal.
Slippers on the forehead
Appearance, and most importantly in a team shooter – of course, gameplay. Each character in Battle Carnival has its own unique set of additional weapons and skills (active and passive).
► perfect weapons.
Additional equipment is divided into three groups: pistols, near -combat weapons and grenades (exception: rhino – he has a bazuka). Everything is clear with pistols, but some kind of weapon of near-fight can surprise. For example, Natasha has a titanium alloy shoe equipped with a deadly hairpin. In appearance, the usual Rumble Jack is armed with a formidable tool against winged uninvited guests – a home slipper. Now imagine how it looks from the side in the match, where all the players conspired to fight with the help of boxing gloves, heels, batons and different knives.
Some characters' skills do not lag behind the originality of additional weapons. Cindy knows how to put a barricade in the form of a giant bear. Papi, like a Snake from Metal Gear, can be disguised as a box or barrel. Most characters have skills that give an advantage to the whole team. Cindy passive skill increases the speed of partners, and Natasha’s active skill allows the team to see opponents through the walls for several seconds.
► Small streamer and her big bear.
Of course, it was not without https://sister-site.org/fat-pirate-casino/ controversial skills that can seriously affect the course of battle and balance. Auto -Back Lady and Minigan Rhino will definitely become significant arguments during a fierce battle. It is good that skills work only in special mode, otherwise the balance would begin to crack at the seams.
By the way, about the modes. At the start of the game, the classic Team Deathmatch, Item Deathmatch (Team Deathmatch with useful bonuses on the map), Skill Mode (the only mode where skills are available) and classic demolition will be available.
Shooting mechanics does not cause strong complaints, but there is a feeling that the return on some trunks is weak. With diversity in cards, the situation is ambiguous. Point Blank fans will be happy to return the classic map with the library, and the rest will see the landscapes quite familiar to multiplayer shooters – a marina, a ship, small towns in the Middle East and Europe.
Pressing problems
Battle Carnival will not become a revelation regarding the wide possibilities of Donat in South Korean shooters. Want to play for all the characters from the very beginning? We hasten to disappoint – only two heroes allow you to choose every week. Either wait a week to change the boring character, or buy him for your blood, but forever. Otherwise, everything (or almost all) is rented out.
► Most of the skins are much more awesome than in CS: GO.
In the future, it is necessary to hide the skins of weapons to a separate tab in the store, otherwise the section will be clogged with multi -colored views of the same rifle, and the player will have to scroll through the list for a long time in search of the desired weapon.
Brites-dolls are sold in the store, slightly increasing characteristics. Some increase accuracy and compensate for the return, others – rate of fire and damage.
Developers are going to turn Battle Carnival into a full -fledged e -sports discipline, as was the case with Point Blank. But if the new project from Zepetto goes to today's Point Blank rakes – troubles do not pass.
Over the past three years, the ubiquitous Donat led Point Blank to a complete imbalance, and the game began to scare newcomers who did not want to invest their blood. There, for money, you can hollow absurd bonuses, up to helmets with almost complete protection against hearths. The most funny thing is that it is sometimes difficult to understand whether Chiter with a car spit is playing against you (Chitership in Point Blank is flourishing for several years), or this is a donor who has invested money in all sorts of configurations.
I would like to believe that the listed problems will bypass the new game. Zepetto and Gamenet are now actively discussing the issues of monetization and game balance, but so far there are no specific information. The representative of Gamenet explained that they themselves are unhappy with Chitersky helmets, they do not want to spoil the balance of the game, and they are already working on protection against potential chiters.

Be that as it may, Battle Carnival will definitely find its player, especially among lovers of dynamic shooters like Cross Fire or Point Black. It’s not long to wait, because the release of the new project from Zepetto and Gamenet is scheduled for December.
