00:11And so it went.
00:13For weeks, then months
00:15Until the extraordinary became commonplace
00:20Dealing with the cold and the wildlife became a new routine
00:25Intense and surreal, but routine
00:28I kept my sanity and widths by not thinking too deeply about what I was seeing and doing
00:35I got lonesome sometimes off the badlands
00:39But music and weekly messages from the messes kept me company
00:44I was making great dough, good choice contracts
00:47And that was the point after all
00:49I made friends with the crew
00:51They were a right good sort, those guys
00:54Even LaRoche for all his bluster
00:56I had his moments
01:00For better or worse, I became Braddock's go-to guy
01:03It had its benefits
01:05But sometimes being the one to get the call
01:06I mean you ended up in some damn strange situations
01:38Damn strange situations indeed
01:39Not ready for equipment repair
01:40Standard fuel surcharge and tier 3 hazard bonus
01:44So Jim's been given his mission
01:46Which is to repair the communications relay
01:47At the top of the mountain
01:49But to get there he's gonna have to
01:51Get through the nest of one of our new enemy types
01:53That we're showing for the first time here today
02:07It's an enemy called the fire wasp
02:09It's of course the flying enemy
02:11And it likes to flank you
02:13And this is a great opportunity to use our cover system
02:15Which we're also showing here for the first time
02:17It's something new to the franchise
02:19But it's something we really like in cases such as this
02:21When you're having to deal with enemies
02:23Both at short range and at long range
02:26Now Ogrosan has taken out the spawner
02:28Here that's allowed him to enter the next area
02:33We're gonna be going right into the heart of the nest
02:36And it's the only way to get to the top of the mountain
02:38Where our misadjective is
02:52This is an example of our struggle mode
02:54Many of you may be familiar
02:56All of our smaller A-Grid enemies
02:58Have the struggle mode
02:59And it is a way for us to kind of have some close quarters combat
03:02Without turning everything into a QTE
03:04Because you do have to aim
03:05In order to hit the areas on the enemy
03:08That you're aiming for
03:10Certain enemies will do this to you when you're low on health
03:13And it's one of the ways that we
03:14Keep the gameplay fresh
03:20Success or failure here
03:21Will change of course
03:24How much trouble Jim gets in
03:26A couple of well placed kicks are usually enough to do the job
03:29There we go
03:37Once again Ogrosan here is going to be using our cover
03:40To help take out some of these wasps
03:42As well as the wasp spawners
03:44And of course without taking out those spawners
03:47The wasps will keep showing up
03:58Switching the shotgun there for some close range firepower
04:01That's always helpful
04:08Very nice
04:21Again utilizing the cover
04:22You can blind fire from cover
04:24As well as being able to actually
04:26Jim out the cover like this
04:28Once again very handy
04:31We like this area of the hive
04:33Because it shows how we try to integrate
04:35Sort of the natural ecosystem of the world
04:37And show the apron in their actual habitat
04:39As opposed to just showing them as enemies of the flare
04:44Grabbing some thermal energy
04:46Which can be traded for
04:47Weapon upgrades and additional items
04:50And things like that when you're back at base
04:55And we can see here a panning shot
04:57Of the mountain in its entirety
04:59In the full game you would start at the bottom of the mountain
05:01And work your way up
05:02We're going to sort of do a fade warp here
05:04So we can take you all the way to the top and show you some of the cool stuff up
05:06there
05:07And keep our demo reasonable
05:13Now we've gotten here to the top of the mountain
05:16And once again Jim's mission is to repair this satellite transmitter
05:21So that the colony can regain communications with Earth
05:24But we notice an odd reason for the malfunction
05:34What the hell?
05:37This mysterious figure was also in the trailer
05:39This part of the game
05:41And the narrative represents sort of
05:43Jim trying to
05:45Focus on his contracts
05:47But learning
05:49That there's a larger sort of mystery
05:51Surrounding the planet
05:52And surrounding him
05:53He's trying not to get involved
05:55But of course that won't last
06:22So we've heard Jim communicating with Braddock
06:25Who's his foreman back on the base
06:26Braddock of course is telling him
06:27There couldn't possibly be anybody else
06:29Everyone's accounted for
06:30And this is just an example of
06:32You know
06:33Small subtle hints to Jim
06:35That things might not be what they seem
06:41System malfunction
06:45I don't know why I'm surprised
06:49Coming back out here to enable this comm dish here
06:56You can see the smaller comm dish
06:58That's actually just the transmitting portion of me
07:02Right
07:21Comm dish locked and ready for transmission
07:27That's the actual array
07:30Has to be that big to get signals all the way back to Earth
07:36Now one of the other things that you'll see in the full game
07:39During this part
07:40Is that we've actually been repairing his gondola system
07:44Throughout the entire level
07:46Now what this does is it actually attaches to the utility rig
07:49How many of you may recall the utility rig
07:51Is the vehicle that Jim uses throughout the game
07:53So what he's done now is he's actually called that up from the bottom
07:55Got the satellite dish working
07:57Just waiting for the rig to come up
08:12Somebody's not too happy about being disturbed here in his lair
08:16This is the spitter
08:17Which is once again a brand new enemy type of choice for the first time
08:20This is a cat L acreage
08:22So it's one of our larger acreage
08:24And as its name would indicate
08:26It spits at you
08:27That will debilitate Jim
08:30Prevented from moving
08:31So you have to avoid those divisions
08:33He also uses a scorpion like tail
08:35To stab at you
08:37It's painful
08:39As with all acreage
08:40You're aiming for the glowing spot
08:42The core
08:43To do the damage
08:46So Ogrosan here will be trying to get a good shot
08:48As he's avoiding the attacks
09:02So I guess he's retreating back to lick his wounds a little bit
09:06Which is great because our rig is just now about to arrive
09:10So we'll finally have something to take him on
09:13Take him on with something of his own size
09:33This is the rig of course
09:35And this is a great way once again to showcase the dichotomy between
09:39The exterior segments when you're out on foot
09:41And you have the normal third person shooting
09:43Versus being in the rig
09:45And of course being in first person
09:46I'm really feeling the scale of this giant machine
09:48Now that you've got the rig
09:49Use the claw to unlock the relay tower
09:52And re-establish contact between the foundation and the furnace
09:56That is the winch
09:57Something we're once again showing for the first time today
10:00This is an upgrade detachment for the utility rig
10:03That you will get over the course of the game
10:04And it of course can be used to squash smaller enemies
10:08Reel in larger enemies
10:09And another great thing is it actually
10:11Utility as we saw in the trailer has an environmental function as well
10:14When it's attached to certain parts of the environment
10:17Jinda can use it as a zip line to access new areas
10:20So everything on the utility rig has multiple functions
10:24Both in combat and outside of combat
10:29So now we have a chance to take on this thing on its own terms
10:36A couple of well placed bashes
10:38Grab the tail
10:45Go for that weak point with the drill
10:47You're using the utility rig's tools
10:50The construction tools in order to do damage to the enemy
11:02Very nice
11:04Very nice
11:10Very nice
11:15Very nice
11:16And stack
11:30and that is a very satisfying way to take out your phone
11:37now we've come here to the point where this is what we needed to drink for
11:41for us in order to align this dish properly
11:44you're going to grab with the left stick
12:03so once again we're getting hints that a lot of things are going on
12:08and as we move forward in the campaign
12:10I hope you enjoyed this video
12:14I hope you enjoyed this video
