00:10Welcome to our demo of The Surge 2.
00:13My name is Adam Hataini, I'm the head of game design at Deck 13
00:16and we are quite excited to show you what we have been working on.
00:20So we start here in Jericho City, this is the setting of The Surge 2.
00:24It's a city under quarantine.
00:27Rather dangerous.
00:29Oh yeah, okay.
00:32So the quarantine in Jericho was instituted by this group here, the AID.
00:36They're the ones maintaining the no-fly zone.
00:38They've put in all of these scanner gates through the city,
00:41these checkpoints to stop the flow of people.
00:43They're trying to figure out and slow down the spread of a techno virus in the city.
00:50And we're not going to listen to them, we're going to go right through the scanner gate
00:52and see what happens.
01:03And the frontal assault here did not work out very well for us.
01:07We are dead.
01:10So we will have to try an alternate approach.
01:12This is something that we have really worked hard to build into The Surge 2.
01:16There's lots and lots of alternate routes, secrets you can discover, shortcuts, this kind of thing.
01:23Different ways for you to solve these challenges that you're going to come across in Jericho City and the surrounding
01:27areas.
01:28Checkpoint, not so good.
01:30We're going to try going this way in a side alley.
01:34Look at that, the friendly looking guy.
01:36Go talk to him for a minute.
01:38One of many NPCs you'll be able to meet in Jericho City.
01:42The way that you interact with them is really up to you,
01:45whether you want to help them out with the things they need,
01:48whether you suspect they're leading you into a trap, something like that.
01:52You know, whether you just want to kill them for their stuff,
01:54these are options that are always open to you.
01:56They will carry consequences, of course.
01:59These are your choices, your way to play.
02:06Just a moment ago, they shot down secret delivery drone right outside office.
02:11Even if soldiers don't find it in time, those damn scavengers will.
02:16You'll have to be sneaky.
02:17But if you pull off, little heist, I let you use Med Station on Wall for free.
02:23Good deal, duh?
02:31Okay, so we're going to try to help out the good Dr. Alexei here.
02:35Try to find his crashed, a quote-unquote, medical drone.
02:39Here you can see some other survivors in Jericho City.
02:42These guys are scavengers.
02:43They're not quite so friendly as the good doctor.
02:46They've created their tech out of scavenged car door here.
02:53industrial machinery, but they've all used it with their exo-rig,
02:56which is what we use as well, so we can be strong and fast.
03:01Now we're here targeting a body part on this enemy, targeting his arm.
03:05We build up enough energy, do some damage, and then we can chop that arm right off.
03:09This is how you get new equipment in the Surge 2, new weapons, new crafting schematics.
03:14You can see we just learned a new armor piece that's the very same armor that that scavenger is wearing.
03:19We'll make that for ourselves if we were to return to a med bay.
03:23He got away from us there.
03:25Chop his head off.
03:27You can see we've picked up another crafting schematic as well as an implant.
03:34This is how you specialize your character in a lot of different ways.
03:38We throw that guy to his doom.
03:41Always an option as well.
03:43Now here you can see some of the structures that the AID have slammed down into Jericho City.
03:47All over the existing architecture.
03:49Behind there is a giant wall.
03:52This is how they have instituted the quarantine.
03:53and above us is this huge nanotechnological spike thing that's growing in the city.
04:01It's the source of the technovirus.
04:03Very dangerous.
04:04Here's one of our robotic enemies.
04:09Damage detected.
04:12We're able to chop limbs off of our robots as well and get new equipment.
04:17In this case we got a twin-rigged weapon.
04:18The electrical taser grips that were the articulated flexi arms of that AID hovering unit.
04:28Let me try these out for a minute.
04:34And here we find a mag lock.
04:36We can break this using one of our combat drone modules.
04:40You can see docked on our back here is our flexible combat drone.
04:44You can attach all sorts of different ranged weapons to this, use it in combat as you wish.
04:49You can trigger the drone while you're doing anything else, which gives you tons and tons of flexibility.
04:54And you can use the EMP starfish here to break magnetic locks, to overload electronics.
04:58And you can even use it to electrify and stun enemies.
05:02There must be something wrong with the power supply.
05:04We also use our biosensor as a consumable item.
05:09So we can watch the enemy as he passes through this area to investigate.
05:14Enemies have more advanced AI in the search too.
05:17So because we disabled the gate here, he comes to check it out.
05:25I'm going to try to take him out before you can call for help.
05:33Do another finishing sequence here.
05:35Chop off the arm.
05:36We've picked up another of our combat drone weapons.
05:40This one is a high caliber sniper rifle.
05:44And also a new hammer weapon.
05:46So this is something you're going to do a lot in the search too.
05:48You're going to fight enemies.
05:50You're going to chop off body parts.
05:52And then you're going to use what you get to make yourself stronger, faster, more powerful, better equipped.
05:59So now that we've cleared through the scanner gate area, we're on the other side.
06:03And go check out what's up here.
06:08There's our crashed drone down below.
06:10We can drop down there in a minute.
06:11And here you can see our new online feature.
06:14One of our several new online features.
06:15Players are able to craft these graffiti messages.
06:18and place them in the world using a spray can attached to their drone.
06:24You can leave messages for other players.
06:26You know, friendly things like, hey, look, there's loot over here.
06:29Or, oh no, a dangerous sniper like this guy.
06:38We just used our sniper rifle drone module to kill this AID operative.
06:44Came to try to stop us.
06:45No such luck.
06:51Superhero landing.
06:52And now we're able to get the crashed drone that Dr. Alexei needs.
06:58What is that slamming?
07:00Oh, man.
07:03A very dangerous foe has appeared.
07:06It's one of our many boss encounters in the search too.
07:09You can see it's a giant nano-technological construct.
07:15Some rudimentary sentience animal-like instinct.
07:18Very dangerous.
07:21It's able to grow giant weaponry on its arms.
07:24But like the enemies that we've been fighting,
07:26you can also target body parts on bosses.
07:29So all the enemies you fight, you're targeting body parts, chopping them off.
07:32And the bosses you fight will also have these body parts.
07:35In this case, you can see he's got some armored legs, arms,
07:38and he's able to grow this weaponry.
07:40So if we destroy it like so,
07:42we're able to create a weak point for ourselves.
07:45So when the armor is broken,
07:47we can do a lot more damage to that spot.
07:49If we keep pounding on it,
07:51we can switch to a different spot.
07:54Break that as well.
07:55Make it easier for us to press the advantage.
07:58Do more damage.
07:59In the meantime,
08:01the boss here has regrown his giant smashy arm,
08:04so we just need to hang on,
08:06avoid his slam attacks,
08:08push the advantage.
08:11We shall achieve victory.
08:15We just did a directional parry here.
08:17This is one of our new systems as well.
08:18We were able to take a high-risk maneuver,
08:21knock his attack back the way he came,
08:23and we can even stagger huge bosses this way.
08:27Victory is ours.
08:30We hope that you play the game,
08:31hope you enjoy it,
08:32and see you next time.
08:33Thank you.
08:36Thank you.
08:36Let's go.
