Ravaged - Battlefield meets Mad Max?

[EngineNo9]

I saw some of the alpha gameplay dev diaries for this a while back and had meant to post about it, but then it dropped off my radar.  As the title says, it looks like a multiplayer vehicle-based FPS game set in a post-apocalyptic world almost like Battlefield mixed with Mad Max (or Rage...or Fallout).  These are things I could like. 

Now I see that they have released a new gameplay trailer and (of course) have also started up a Kickstarter campaign.  Refreshingly, the game is close to beta and Kickstarter is only to help them finish off beta, do some marketing and then publishing on Steam. 

And yes, they even have a gyrocopter.

Seriously, nobody else is excited by the potential of this game?     I know there are some other Mad Max fans and apocalypse aficionados hanging around here. 

The game looks great graphically, and the team features guys that have apparently "worked on Battlefield, DesertCombat, Frontlines and more", so possibly people who left Kaos Studios a couple years ago and they at least have some direct experience in this genre of vehicle-based online shooters.

Well they met their goal a month early despite you heathens not paying attention.    Carry on.

Eh, it looks interesting, but it's still just another multiplayer shooter, and one that just apes battlefield at that.

Not only is it something that could be done as a mod, it's also something that will be fighting for players from day 1, and probably won't maintain an active multiplayer community.

I'm glad it got funded though, and I hope it makes it in the long run.

I'm interested that gyrocopter video particularly was very nice. Got a couple of weeks to decide but even now it's looking very slick

It looks cool but I will echo Turtle's thoughts.  It looks like a mod   Until I know more I will hold my excitement but it is definitely on my radar now.
