New enemy types - Remade

As usual, I have a serious counter suggestion.
I present to you the Yamaha MotoBot.

It´s in a certain way a reminder of the 2009 Movie Terminator Salvation Moto-Terminators.

In action over here:

Something between this two could roam the roads in Sweden.

I feel motorcycles coming as next transport system for us, with this, sir.

Now, while it would be a damn good idea for most games, I think it would not really fit GZ.
Reason: this is more like an intercept system, police unit, more than a military unit.
Furthermore, there are no motorized wheeled machines in GZ.

Well… oh well, why not, I guess…
As long as they do not turn it into a driveable by us thing.
Since THAT would be the next game killer.

One thing though…
Why is our chaser silly, but like 60% of the clothing stuff in GZ is not, if I may ask?

Serious question here, sir.

Half of the clothing IS SILLY! :sweat_smile::rofl::joy:
But it´s up to each player to dress how they wish, the only time i´m silly is when i´m dressed with one of the last Year Halloween costumes :sweat_smile: .
Why? I don´t know, maybe bad taste in clothing.
A robot pedaling a bike is something to laugh, not something to be frightened by.

I mean, why is silly clothing, or heck, the Back to the Future car OK in the game, while all but serious and not GZ related, but a biking machine isn’t?

It would even make some sense, as I explained before.
An AI could come up with some weird ideas.
Logical, it’s build by Uu-Maans… and they for sure make weird things and do weird things? :slight_smile:

Nope, and the DeLorean is an easter egg, if there were DeLoreans everywhere it would feel just wrong and silly.
It makes no sense because an AI that intends to spread and control, consume or destroy humans won´t think about silly robots in tricycles or bicycles.
Instead, it´s purpose is to build and construct ways to protect itself, and to better kill and cause fear to humans.
So it´s illogical.
And all other machines but the seeker are in a certain way menacing and good in killing.

On the other hand as previously mentioned , a repair bot that repairs some of the machines (maybe not the tanks? :sweat_smile:) would be great to have…and in limited numbers by region.

While not right, not wrong.
Biking is faster than running, no?
Machines might therefore conclude, to use bikes, since it speeds up intercepting.
As for how they look… do you really think they care about their looks, sir?

Agreed.

Bicycles are not menacing, moto-terminators are menacing, it´s that simple.
Even little armed robotic Teddy bears are a little bit more menacing than a machine on a bike :sweat_smile:.
But you have the right to have your own opinion…

OK, I simply can’t get people.
I’ve always been “too serious”, “too realistic”, “too hardcore”, “too purist”, I’ve been called back for being “too”…
I post one funny idea, and I get told to get serious, to get realistic?

Please, people, make up your mind?
Since, I actually simply do not get what you expect from me…

Well to make sure there are no misunderstandings here, everything I said makes sense and follows logic, the concept is serious, but me? I´m not serious about this, if they ever put something menacing like I said, fine, if they don´t, it´s also fine, and about you, I have no problem about your ideas.
I just upgraded them to “serious” status.
Now a machine pedaling a bike in Ratchet and Clank or Rayman games (or a similar game), looks fine by me :sweat_smile:.

Note: No one expects anything from anyone over here (I think? I Certainly don´t).
So, relax buddy @Xogroroth .

Hey Xogger,

A Hunter is 14 feet tall, entirely made of metal and has to weigh four tons. On a bicycle. Sploinngg! Hunter sitting on the ground on top of crushed bicycle. Going nowhere. Sitting target. Bring it on!

@Bootie
Feet?
Smelly feet???
I hope not! XD

In all seriousness though, sir: I know this.

We have bikes.
Plundra.
Silly costumes like Freddy Kreuger or Michael Meyers.
We got a frakkin’ DMC even!!!
So, Why not?

Sure, a normal bike could not take it.
A normal bike would be your grave within minutes, if it was real world.

It is silly, 100% agreement there.
But there do not have to be many of those, right?
And if it can bring a smile into the community… I am all for it…

If the devs would add mecs you would need to kill apoc tanks. Easy right? WRONG. You would need to kill apoc tanks with a 10 percent chance of getting a regular part. And a 5 present chance of getting an ecenchal part(battery, chain gun, ect…) You would need 50 regular parts and 10 ecenchal parts. Then you would need to find the mec building stashion at the airfield (the most dangerous place to me) and put in all the parts. The parts would vary in waight. Then you would have to defend the mec building stashion from a few waves of enimies. One defended you will need to go out and find one last part that the game will say error. Random pice will spawn on the other side of the map in a nother dagrous place. Then you take it back, fi ish the mec and you are as big as a hunter with the fire power of a finx tank. The devs can nurf if needed

I had a couple ideas for new machines…

  1. “super” hunters. IMO hunters are the scariest machines in the game and could be way scarier if they were 2 or 3 times as big and just as fast. Even better if they were heavily armed and armored and could shoot while they run.

  2. some kind of largish centipede - like machines with either legs or wheels that has a nasty main gun and multiple varying turrets along it’s back. With a machine like this it could have both size and speed.

My problem with the “tougher” machines already in game is they are SOOOO SLOW! They just aren’t all that scary even when you aren’t max level armed with experimentals. The reaper isn’t very scary. :frowning:

Oh the centipede would be so scary…
A more sturdy Hunter would be great.
Shooting while running, armed with both Gas grenade Launcher and Railgun Sniper.
Better armored, with different sounds and a different Head design.

It would be pretty easy for them to make “super hunters” too I figure.
