 Hey there lugs and ladies it is Petrifying Pumpkins here, and I have got a quick Impressions video for you today. That is because I have played Alvo the closed base a Long long last I have finally gotten my hands on the game I've gotten to play it for about an hour or so. I played it so far, but I just wanted to give some quick thoughts on My early impressions. I suppose I should say about the game Before I do so I've got disclaimers Disclaimer number one. I am a community mod racer for first contact entertainment first contact entertainment, of course Made firewall zero hour and someone consider Alvo a direct competition with firewall So if you think there's a conflict of interest there or whatever, that's fine You can take everything I'm saying with the pinch of salt. All I will say is that I'm going to speak Honestly about my thoughts on Alvo, but if you don't want to believe that that's that's fine, right? Second disclaimer is that because I'm playing in a closed beta There is just a bunch of NDAs a lot of stuff. I can't talk about it So I have to be very careful what one I'm saying in these early impressions So I guess the first thing maybe to say is Thank you first of all to Steve at Merton poll for getting me into the base And let me try out his game Secondly, if you're just gonna ask me right off the bat is Alvo good based on what I've played I would say yes game obviously we've been following on this channel for quite some time It has had a very rocky development gone through Cancelation it's been brought back from the dead So I definitely had a lot of concerns for Alvo in terms of is this going to be you know Just a disaster or is it going to be Quite a lot of fun as it turns out. It seems to be quite a lot of fun There is issues. There is a lot of stuff that needs to be dealt with but once again Early stages of a closed base. I was talking to Steve himself when I was playing the Alvo and he was pointing out Oh this thing here. We know about this We're it's gonna be fixed before launch or you know this level that you're playing right now There's things that you know, this is an older version of the level that We couldn't get updates it into the base it for whatever reason but when the game officially launches It's gonna have the updated version and this is gonna be better And this will be fixed and that will be fixed and if everything that he said turns out to be the case Then I think Alvo is definitely something you should have on your radar now another question I expect I guess a loss is because well because of this channel's close ties to firewall zero hour is Is this game better than firewall zero hour or how does it compare to firewall zero hour? And I will say the same thing basically that I've been saying You know just by looking at the videos available that these two games are different things I know they're both virtual reality first-person shooters, but that's kind of where the similarities and I've said this a lot of times you probably sick of me saying that firewall is the rainbow six siege approach very kind of slow-paced Tactical, you know one life your house, so maybe increase tension whereas Alvo is the call of juicy arcadey Fast-paced you're in you're dead. You're in you're dead. You know, it's got killstreaks all that kind of stuff And in if the same thing we've learned it's that there's room for both of those kind of games on any platform So the fact that the ps4 is getting both of these kind of games now these kind of genres covered I think is good. So I did have a few questions for Steve that I asked and he kindly answered on the discord So the first question I asked him was there was there going to be a difference between the PlayStation 4 pro version of the game And the standard PlayStation version. He said that there was no pro patch So both versions of the game are going to be the same the second thing I asked him was is this closed BASA going to go to open BASA and then full release or is it going to go from this closed BASA and Then transition to a full release and he told me it's going to go to a full release So there won't be an open BASA. They are expanding the slots of how many people are in the closed BASA right now I believe it's a pretty small number, but that they can expand it up to 1000 I believe that's what he's meant publicly available or that's public info on the discord server So about a thousand people can get in but there won't be an open BASA And lastly I asked him if there was going to be plans to have a party slash you know squad and up feature because as it is right now you kind of just boot up the game Hit search for the whatever mode you're playing right now in the closed BASA. It is just free for all So you pick that mode and then it just instantly loads you into a session and There's either players in there or if there's gaps Then it fills that those gaps with bots and from the reply I got from Steve It seems that the party system is being worked on and they're hoping to have it in by launch So fingers crossed that is the case because of course these games are always fun to play with friends Now there are our plans for different modes search and destroy Custom modes and stuff like that as well so you can have a lot of fun that way So as I said already, I didn't play too much of the game. I played for about an hour I was playing with Steve and some other people from my sumo was Mardin bold I wanted to jump straight into us. I didn't mess around too much with the customization The weapon selection attachments that kind of stuff. Well, I went through the menus, but a lot of stuff was locked I hadn't I had to earn the currencies or whatever to unlock the sites and all that So I played with the AK-47 played with a handgun Grenades and I like I pretty much just use the default loadout number one I think it was and it looks like you can customize up to four loadouts and put whatever you want in them loadouts So that you can quickly switch between them whenever you want because when you die It's actually really cool. You can just hit the square button and pick a loadout Which is again reminiscent of college UC. So another likeness there to college UC I want to talk a little bit about the maps. I guess what I'm saying too much from what I saw There was four maps available in the rotation now There is variations of those like nighttime tape time and maybe dusk as well I'm not too sure about that, but I thought the maps were quite enjoyable. They're quite spread out At least the desert map was really kind of open and there was lots of verticality You could climb on top of buildings and it was sniping and all that kind of cool Chat and then there was the monastery that felt a little bit more claustrophobic with ten of us running around or however many people were there at the time There was the house which I think I only played it at night time and it was kind of very it was a nice map I think maybe house so far might be One I prefer the most now. That's just after an hour playing with just one you've gone So there's lots of variations and like different weapons might suit different mouths better and all that kind of stuff And then of course there was the town map which was also a lot of fun That's I think that's the very first one. They showed off with that initial reveal trailer all the way back in like 2017 I think at this stage and so yeah I mean there's a lot of stuff I want to say a lot of more things I'd like to talk about but I have to be careful that I'm not violating NDA's and stuff like that. So these are while they're my first impressions. They're not my full first impressions Hopefully as we get closer throughout the base up those ease up or you know when it comes to release I'll do proper Impressions video, then I guess when the game is closer to what it will be when it launches Anyway, that is it for this video as in ladies.
