00:00.
00:10Hi everyone, I'm Marc Manuello, lead designer on Rifter Raiders at Climax Studios.
00:16Today I'm going to show you a bit more about the game and walk you through the GDC playable demo.
00:21Rifter Raiders is a modern take on shoot them up style game.
00:24We really wanted to revive this job we enjoyed so much during the Arcade days, but with a bit of
00:29a twist and adding our touch to it.
00:31Most importantly, the game supports from 1 to 4 players online with friends, and we really do encourage you to
00:37play with friends.
00:38That's where we have the most fun here at Climax.
00:59Warping into the very first level of the game. This is the only level of the game that is single
01:04player only.
01:06Its purpose is to walk you through the background story while teaching the base mechanics of the gameplay.
01:12Here I warped into an open space. I received a transmission from a character named Betty.
01:18She seems to be needing help. She sent me a location, so the little marker that appeared at the bottom
01:24of the screen is my main objective and tells me which direction to follow.
01:35My ship is equipped with two weapons. The first one is called the Linear Colgan, and is a long range,
01:41low damage, high fire rate type of weapon.
01:44The second one is called the Klar, and is a short range, high damage, low fire rate, firing fan spread
01:50of projectiles, more suited for close range combat.
01:55Engaging some turrets. These are long range, so the claw is not the best choice against these.
02:02Now that I'm a bit closer, the claw should be more effective.
02:33Every raider spacecraft is equipped with a grappler. You can use it to latch onto various types of objects.
02:40That box on the far right is one of them. It's a loot container that I can rip apart to
02:44release its content.
02:45Blue capsules are used to restore my shield energy, red ones to repair hull damages, and white ones are cash
02:53used to upgrade my ship.
02:55The green ones are the most important ones. They are the perks that allow you to craft new weapon, shield
03:01and boost builds back in Arcadia.
03:30A bit more action now.
03:33These are pirate grunts. They are quite weak, but fight in squad, so their number can make it hard to
03:38face them.
03:39This is the perfect situation to use the claw and maximize damage.
03:53After every level, you'll be brought back to Arcadia. There, pick one of the weapon, shield or boost type and
04:00use the looted cash to buy upgrades and equip perks.
04:04Find your own playstyle by crafting your own builds. Want to focus on dealing damage, increase your weapon fire rate,
04:11give it explosive projectiles and so on.
04:14The range of possibilities is huge, so you can experiment as much as you want to.
04:34Here is a new type of turret. It fires a single missile, still long range but single projectile, that can
04:41be destroyed while inbound.
04:42Don't miss, cause it deals a lot of damage.
04:44Don't miss, cause it deals a lot of damage.
04:45Don't miss, cause it's a lot of damage.
05:12Now on to a new grappler mechanic.
05:14This power cell is a heavy object I have to tow to a specific location.
05:19In this case I need to put 3 of these into the manifold to restore the door's power.
05:24Ultimately this reduces my movements and turns me into an easier target.
05:28This is clearly a situation where a cooperation with other players would be effective.
05:33The more players towing an object the faster it moves,
05:36while others could take care of nearby enemies.
05:57As you probably noticed, my ship is protected by a shield.
06:01This one is the Force Edge, and there are 2 other types for you to discover.
06:05Its color turns to red to show how close it is from depletion.
06:22Loot Container's content is rendered.
06:24However, it will never give you any perk.
06:27Perks can only be obtained by fighting enemies.
06:32With Lee Dunno, in this case, BBC Video miles,
06:33under ensign..
06:39Name 1.
06:42Wraith do desaparece.
06:52Wraith do desaparece.
06:53Say there's any 빵 did.
06:55E, bye basically.
07:05Engaging more missile turrets
07:32Rich Star Raiders isn't a traditional twin stick shooter in the way that the right stick doesn't fire.
07:38In our case, it gives your ship a lot more rotation speed for faster aiming at the cost of moving
07:42speed.
07:43We call it the combat aim.
07:46You might have noticed that I've been using it throughout both in combat and traversal.
07:50Here is a situation where I need precision to avoid colliding with any obstacle.
08:19I bet he shouldn't be far now.
08:21There she is.
08:39In multiplayer, whenever a player runs out of health, he'll need reviving from another one, just like Beatty in this
08:45case.
08:46Another use of the grappler is to latch onto a drifting player and joll them back to life by latching
08:51onto a ship and holding Y.
08:53You can see the revive progress along the cable.
08:56While performing a revive, you can tow the drifting ship behind you in order to avoid incoming fire or simply
09:01to get that player out of a tough situation.
09:04And she's back.
09:17Last of the ship's systems, the boost drive.
09:20I am currently equipped with the g-pulse that gives me an impulse.
09:23I'll need it to get through the crusher.
09:26There is another type of boost drive for you to discover in the game.
09:30In order to allow it to come through, I need to turn off the crusher by hacking into its system.
09:35This is another grappler mechanic.
09:37Simply latching onto the target and holding Y.
09:40Imagine doing the same in the middle of a battlefield, and you can see how important it is to have
09:44some friends covering new war hacking systems.
09:47Ok, that's done.
09:54Same mechanic, but this time it requires every player of the session to hack the target system at the same
09:59time.
10:00Obviously, this is to ensure that players progress through the level together at the same time.
10:06And we're back outside.
10:07Shouldn't be far from the exit now.
10:10While using combat aim, boosting is pushing me on the side.
10:13Great for performing some ace dodging moves and avoiding any source of damage.
10:29This is Clyde.
10:30Looks like he's after our loot.
10:32He has the ability to lock onto my ship and fire a wave of homing missiles.
10:37If I time it right, I can suppress all of them at once using the sword.
10:52He left his chance to exclude himself.
10:53He puts out theμα of your head in chickpeas.
11:01He sets plate up that turret.
11:13With enough cash and the right perks, it is definitely possible for you to craft Clyde's
11:17weapon back in Arcadia.
11:44To be continued...
12:13And she's done for.
12:15Whoa, some loot!
12:48Okay, it's time to warp out of here.
12:50That's it for the GDC demo, hope you liked it.
12:52Rift Star Raiders is due to come out later in 2017 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
12:59Please check it out.
13:00See you in the Rift Raiders.
13:01One is the Rift Raiders.
13:04One is the Rift Raiders.
