WCCFTECH was recently invited to a preview session of FBC: Firebreak, the first multiplay game released by Finnish Developer Remedy Entertainment. As most WCCFTECH readers are certainly known, the studio is famous for remarkable single player game, which has been released in action/adventure style, the first two Max Payne titles Alan Wake, Underred Quantum Brakes, Control and Recently Alan Wack 2 (which became a complete survival scary title).
As is someone who appreciates the trademark style of the studio very much, I was very keen about this new project, which is in the oldest house of control. Do not make any mistake: This is a completely different animal when compared to any previous game made by remedy, being a cooperative multiplayer first-person shooter title. However, contestants also have enough measures to make it interesting even in the sea, although its long -term longevity will definitely have to test with full release to say.
During the preview session, we played through three of the five ‘jobs’ (the developer named Mission types in FBC: Firebreak) that will be available when the game is launched next month. Jobs were widely different from each other, providing some gameplay variety in sessions. In the hot fix, the base is that the furnace in the maintenance area of the oldest house has broken its explosion seal and flood the area with paranacural heat. Players are called to repair heat transfer fans throughout the region and are asked to neutralize it to feed the furnace with black rock powder and then repair the explosion seal.
They are essentially fireworks, after all, and actually missions are to be repaired too much. If you have the right kit (later more on them), you can use your unique tools to quickly repair; Otherwise, you have to succeed as a quick time event, where you are asked to press the correct sequence of the button (for example, L1 or R1).
It was then done, there was an unavoidable battle with his side. In addition, our migration was prevented by the presence of a ‘dangerous lir’, a nominated boss -like enemy that we had to defeat to clear our way. This part was reminiscent of other cop shooters, to make sure. However, the first -viewed stars are standing out for their unique view style and movement patterns, such as dreadful flying employees, such as dreadful flying flying.
The second job that we tried were also with the universe connected to the measure. The so -called ‘sticky note population’ had repeated in a significant amount, consuming members of the Federal Control Bureau and turned them into a sticky notes from head to toe. We had to destroy a large number of notes at the entire level during the harassment by part before facing another boss (‘sticky ricky’), but the really good touch was that the notes often clinging to the camera, which partially or mostly combined the difficulty of targeting with obstacles.
Third and final FBC: Firebreak job that we played in preview were ground control. Here, a herd of astral leach radiated the mine (a place seen under control), threatening the FBC.
Essential Black Rock Mining Operations. We had to kill the leach across the mine to highlight the radioactive beads, load them into a container shuttle, and finally to take it to a launch site. Once the shuttle is loaded into the launcher, the objective we need to fuel the system and launch the payload in the classroom.
This job offered another diverse experience compared to the last two. Radioactive pearls were the most dangerous part because they continuously damaged the carrier. Then we had to ‘push’ the control shuttle in a way, not contrary to the payload mode of the overwatch while closing the part hoards.
It is worth noting that the players control how long they want their session. In addition to the difficulty level, the withdrawal level establishes how many areas you have to pass to complete the job. There is no need to say, they become progressively difficult, and we were not able to succeed at the top withdrawal level when the sports director joined our team.
FBC: Before the Firebreak match, you have to choose your crisis kit, which is essentially your class. The splash kit is dedicated to supporting users who want to heal the teammates and debut the part (who deal with less loss when wet); The jump kit is for those who love crowd control and electrification enemies (which definitely, wet goals face more damage), and the fixed kit provides you access to a turret and a large wrench, which can be used to repair objects (some healing stations or gunpowder stations, for example), but also for the huts to the enemies.
Of course, the scuffle combat did not feel that great at all, but it is a minor part of the match. On the other hand, gunplay, feels solid enough to be fun, and I could already see how different kits could be added to customize your team’s setup. Crisis kits are also bound by progress, as a fully advanced crisis kit can take home to nine allowances. In addition, it will be above the player how to install them in different slots.
A weak perk will take only one slot, while a strong, shared perk will take three slots. Once you upgrade a perk completely, you can equip it at the lower level, using a low slot for weak effects. This was designed as a way to allow a wide variety to build by remedy, from only three strong shared effects to nine weak (but completely different) effects. By the way, the kit can be switched to the response during a match. You have a fixed amount of ‘volunteers’, which originally reacts to tickets, after which the job fails.
Finally, some words on performance. There is definitely a place for adaptation, as I also faced examples of stuttering on my high-end PC (9800x3D, RTX 5090), but it was already acceptable. Visual, co-operated by the Northlight Engine, was already great despite adjusting the multiplayer game. This preview created only Ray Tracing Support, but the remedy has promised path tracing for the last version, such as Allen Wake 2.
Overall, based on this preview, I believe that FBC: Firebreak has a shot in becoming one of the favorite pastime of co-up shooter fans. This will not be a game on which you lose your life, but it does not mean. In addition, it is familiar to stand out yet to stand out. However, every game of this type remains or dies on the basis of how quickly a developer can respond to the community’s response. In this regard, the latest this week’s technology test PC, Playstation 5, and Xbox Series S | It will be important for the final adjustment of the measure before launch on 17 June on X.
