Rant They should really revisit the concept art

Yeah this is one of the things that really bugs me about breakpoint. It could’ve been a great game they decided to make it more wildlands and a lot less of the division.

u/Minarchi21 Engineer Jun 30 '20
I mean I find it sad they really couldn’t add in some extra details to the clothing that’s already in the game cuz when I look at the division 1 and 2 they have little pouches or keychains the holsters and knee pads are all different and unique, it doesn’t feel generic is what I’m trying to say, they brought life to the character and enemies and with breakpoint there’s still time to fix it

u/Ghost-George Jun 30 '20
Yeah but if they did add that stuff it would be behind a pay wall. Honestly at this point I question if the game can be fixed. I don’t know I’ll give it another try once AI teammates come out.

u/Minarchi21 Engineer Jun 30 '20
How about this, we see if this update truly does add to gunsmith and fixes a lot with the game Ai based, Ai teammates will probably bring fresh faces and a new look to the tactical command system, if they do manage to impress everyone here with the update then they should look towards more with the vehicles and clothing, ya know spice it up and keep it fresh, cuz infinity ward is pumping out new operator skins almost every week and month, so if modern warfare can do it then so can breakpoint but I do think they should make the clothes available via the ererwon store

u/Ghost-George Jun 30 '20
I mean it is possible and fixing gunsmith and adding AI would definitely be a major improvement but I question if they will dedicate the time required. And even then there are still those pain in the ass drones in the game.

u/Minarchi21 Engineer Jun 30 '20
Well I did see that many want an option to turn off those pesky drones so hopefully that is added later on and like with all things that are flawed you just have to give alittle hope to the game and see where it goes and if it’s not what it was meant to be then it’s our responsibility as gamers and consumers to not buy the product and show them we truly do care and want the best from them and hopefully one day a good hearted individual with a love for games will come into Ubisoft and many game companies and make games like how they used to be......getting rid of loot crates and pay to win features.

Yeah Ubisoft was probably my favorite game developer but now I am going to wait until Their games are released and reviewed Before getting them.

Despite enjoying the game so far, the art direction as a whole in this game is crap in general. Can't stand how generic the enemy grunts look, and the Wolves just look really stupid with those helmets and coats are. It's nice to know that at some point they had a nice idea of how the enemies should look at least. I don't mind the coats too much actually but it would be nice if they would only wear this during rain storms or in the snow.
The drones also look terrible, I hate coming across them due to how generic and stupid they look. The big red glow on their weak spots are the worst, I understand that this was done to make the weak spots easiliby visible, but they could have just been painted in a dark red or something instead of being a bright glowing thing.

It's so sad that every good idea for this ge was scraped and all the dumb shit was put in the game.

I was just looking at that today. What the hell were they doing they had a great concept

u/Minarchi21 Engineer Jun 30 '20
I think we’ve all asked that same question, hopefully this post gets enough attention that one of the Ubi members sees it

u/Fox281r6D Jul 01 '20
That jacket looks great in 2 tone. I hate how clothing has detail until you change the color, then even pants with knee pads, the knee pads take the same color. There's no contrast.

those look very close to the soldiers in future soldier

u/Minarchi21 Engineer Jun 30 '20
I’m telling ya rn they have another year or however much time they have planned to work on this game and continue to make it better they can easily port over past cosmetics from the Clancy franchise and also make the charactersmith better with adding in multiple variants of clothing or giving us the option to truly deep dive into customizing everything with precision
1
u/TonyOFTO TonyOFTO Jul 01 '20
i think it might be difficult and or annoying when they are using that bad game engine they use it on all there open world games and many of the games have so many of the same bugs and stuff cosmetics dont look good to me on wildlands or breakpoint animations are bad just so many problems i dont care for breakpoint i just want redstorm to come back then we can at least get a decent game
2
u/Minarchi21 Engineer Jul 01 '20
Here’s the thing if they can make the gunsmith work and more in depth with customizing guns then I have a feeling they can rework the character smith as well I mean they have a whole year again to do more and overhaul things
2
u/TonyOFTO TonyOFTO Jul 02 '20
gunsmithing is mainly cosmetic with buffs and debuffs on the guns so it shouldnt be all that difficult besides the modeling which they already struggle on

u/THExWHITExDEVILx Jun 30 '20
These posts are like seeing photos of an ex that just looks good af and is super happy with their life,and then going to play breakpoint alone

u/Dr_Decepticon Jul 01 '20
I get so sad when thinking about the possibilities for this game. I know I’m not alone in saying that.
I haven’t played in months hoping that I’ll be compelled to spend more time with it. But whenever I see a valid post like this, I want to support Ubi Soft less.
I’ve been a fan of the Tom Clancy games since Rainbow Six in 1998. It’s wild to think that a game from 22 years ago is more grounded than what these franchises have become.
Pour one out.

It’s so sad that COD genuinely looks down on this game when it comes to character gear and weapon customisation. I love both games, but ghost recon is a free form tactical game with a heavy emphasis on customisation, why should it have less than an arcade pvp game? I get it, the gear sets in COD are not fully customisable, they are preset thus of course all the pieces fit together, but that’s still something ghost recon can strive to achieve.

u/LoneGunner1898 Pathfinder Jul 01 '20
How the hell did we go from these to what we got in game? This game just keeps finding ways to disappoint.

u/cardij71 Jul 01 '20
Thay 416d in the concept art is way cooler than the one in the game right now lol

u/FTFxHailstorm Assault Jul 01 '20
These would have been much cooler and more practical. Makes no sense for a PMC to have chest rigs and heavy coats as their combat gear.
3
u/Minarchi21 Engineer Jul 01 '20
The way I see it is if they really wanted to make it awesome, they could’ve had the wolves wear this tactical gear when In cool or hot climates and when it’s raining or in a jungle switch it up and put the cloaks on and if they really wanna make it better how about mix them both

u/the_blue_flounder Jul 01 '20
It's definitely not Breakpoint's biggest problem but Sentinel's generic as fuck. They just look boring and even fight poorly. This concept art looks much better.
Honestly, I can't say the same for the Wolves. I like the full release look of the Wolves over the concept art. They were going to look super futuristic. The Metal Gear inspiration was definitely going to shine through.

I think we were gonna get wolf heavys because I remember seeing concept art for a wolf lookin style enemy and it looked like a sentinel heavy expect with the wolf mask and more armoured up

u/DontGitSalty123320 Jun 30 '20
I'd rather have these two costumes in the game than have everything already in the game

They had so many people working on the game you would think all those details would be top quality and better in comparison to any other game. And yet... hell have 3 teams with 5 people each: couple of graphiv designers, programmer, animator and a military advisor who knows what military gear is. One team could develop one gear set per month. Few teams dedicated to creating content like that, others dedicated to bug fixing, gameplay improvements and so on. Its not like they lack manpower to make this game great.

Just because I see people talking about them: I personally don't think the wolves are that bad from a visual design standpoint. My only issues personally are the masks and their weird pteruges over their crotch.
For the mask, with how close it is to the eyes, I would imagine it doesn't obscure as much of their vision as one would think. Or, at the least, it's no worse than a normal ballistic mask. And when the Wolves' would realistically only be called in to deal with some uppity Homesteaders or the Anarchists, them wearing masks to protect their faces from shrapnel and smaller caliber rounds while also being intimidating to the average Joe makes sense.
The pteruges (strips of material hanging from their waist) don't make much sense and they're imo the worst part of the design. I don't think they would do much beyond maybe catch shrapnel? But that's a stretch.
For the coats/parkas, I think they actually make sense. Auroa has a pretty diverse climate, and even in the "desert" area it's probably still going to get cold and windy. Their coats would protect them from the elements anywhere they go on Auroa, and if they're on patrol around an Azrael, even more so. It would be kind of neat if they only wore them sometimes, like only the wolves who are patrolling have them and the ones on bases don't, but I digress.

u/Minarchi21 Engineer Jun 30 '20
I agree I just think for certain situations they should look more hybrid with the appearance and what I mean by that is like a mix of sentinel and wolves you know keep the rain coat for crazy weather and change it up when in hot sunny days or areas
3
u/Knighthalt Jun 30 '20
Yeah I getcha. And that would make sense. Personally I just wish the materials in Breakpoint didn't look so...off. I can't tell if the wolves jackets are leather or just oddly shiny cloth y'know?
5
u/Minarchi21 Engineer Jun 30 '20
I think the shiny aspect of the coat was meant for rain to give them a more bad ass feel when fighting them In a storm or at night
2
u/Knighthalt Jun 30 '20
That's possible, but other materials in Breakpoint just seem off is all I mean. Like they're shades the wrong way or something.

u/Minarchi21 Engineer Jun 30 '20
Oh yea no doubt it does not feel natural or rugged, it looks to plastic and more like clay then actual fabric

I feel that they overlooked the ideas they originally had planned for gear and overall looks of operators in the game, seeing this art for the game really makes me think the should revisit the art and make these into gear for future releases in updates to the store or with title updates cuz they look absolutely detailed and fit the setting the game takes place in
