Dev Update #63
Okay more and more keeps getting done. Though this week I was held up by more admin type stuff which had to be addressed along with this scene being a bit insane as stated last week but it is going lol.
So right now at 931 renders, I don't expect that many more. There are also 56 animations rendered out, one currently running, and there will be a few more ones to do.
Next week will be very much focused on writing and putting things together.
My apologies that this one is taking longer than usual.
As always guys, stay awesome!

Like last week, sounds promising but still a ways off.

Interesting image. It's pretty strong evidence the complex scene is indeed the big brouhaha at Gloria's home. The ghost's helmet suggests this might be outside, and I notice his gun seems to have a very Halo-esque HUD on it.

Definitely eager to see how this goes down. (Sigh) Back to waiting.

That isn't a HUD. That is a rail sight. It allows the user to mount scopes etc onto it. The HUD would probably be inside the mask. Almost like Iron Man uses to identify objects and calculate distances or communicate with Pepper etc.

I meant the blue-green shot counter on the back of the rifle. You can just barely see it reflected on his helmet.

I am just curious why the MC always use light armor and basic weapon without attachments? We are talking about year of 2077, where is the advanced heavy armors and technological weapons? Is the MC out of money to buy some good equipaments?

The game is set in 2042, not 2077. The tech can't be too much more advanced than present-day stuff, and I believe Chapter 1 establishes that the MC hasn't been taking many jobs recently, so his fund to buy equipment is probably not that much at this point.

His ex wife, who is supposedly elite fighter like him, goes in skimpy outfit... micro shorts and revealing top... Tex goes like a character from Brokeback Mountain or My Personal Idaho... MC at least looks like a futuristic soldier or something...

I'd hardly call MC's choice of attire "futuristic" the guy dresses like a cartel sicario with a black sweater on minus the body armor. PG doesn't over do it with attire and keeps it casual.

I have wondered about this before. He makes no mention of having any sort of implant and usually dresses very casual other than his helmet during missions.
Ingame i like to think this is his personal preferences plus lack of money to buy more expensive equipament.:LOL:
Out of game i get the feeling maybe this is a way to make Jake, Sonya, Tex more distinct as characters. :unsure:

Ya I wouldn't mind seeing the MC dress up for combat in more beefed up gear. Chandra had kind of a good point when she goes back to his apartment in like Chapter 2 or 3 and says she expected to see guns everywhere, etc. I would definitely like to see him have more gear and wear some cooler heavy armor when going into battle.

Not just more distinctive, but also more defined. The faceless ghosts get bulky armor to make them look disposable but still a bit intimidating. Tex gets the cowboy look to suggest he's eccentric but rugged. The MC gets simple clothes to appear relatable and outmatched. (And to explain how he can take them off so fast if a femme fatale stops shooting, of course!)

In game, I can see two possibilities. The first, as you mentioned, is that he no longer has money for the good stuff so he prefers to maximize his mobility. The armor on the ghosts doesn't seem to do much against his gun.

The second is that he actually is wearing armor, it's just sophisticated enough to look mundane. In this scenario, he bought it back when he had a regular income and spent extra avoid attracting the attention of bulky combat armor. It probably wouldn't stand up to heavy ordinance, but could deflect the small stuff; his missions seemed to be more about kidnapping rather than straight up combat, after all.

Given that we know he still has access to some apparently cutting edge munitions I'm inclined to believe the second option, but either option is plausible.
