Highguard | Official Launch Showcase
looks too much like apex legends imo
I don’t get what makes this game so special that Geoff Keighley hyped it so much. That this thing was the big surprise that ended the game awards show was completely underwhelming. Out of the show, Highguard was the most generic game presentation. There was absolutely nothing about this game that seemed new or even interesting. Just the next hero shooter with comic look.
Tbf, I don’t think Apex Legends was completely new either. It refined and combined a lot of good ideas in other games into a battle royale. I think they’re trying to do that with this type of hero shooter vibe, having taken some ideas from Rainbow 6 Siege and a few other games. Doesn’t seem to have worked as well this time.
It’s a generic shooter, does nothing new or different.
People are complaining about the map size and its 3 vs 3 format, mostly negative on steam, not sure if they are going to come back from this.
Requires both Secure Boot & TPM 2.0
Fuck right off
Well its not Concord 2.0. Already has more players than Concord ever did, almost 100k peak players on Steam alone, currently 67k in-game as of the time I am posting this.
I can’t say that 3v3 is the right fit for the game, the maps are rather large for it. But I think with a bit more work in a few updates, it has far more staying power than Concord ever had.
Its free unlike Concord, so having a large number of launch players is not surprising. Keeping them is the real challenge.
I’m 100% of the opinion that the main reason Concord failed is because it didn’t get any advertising. The first time I heard about Concord was the news that it completely flopped at launch and I wasn’t the only one. When that’s the first thing people hear about the game they’re not even going to bother to get interested in what the game is about. To this day I don’t even know if Concord had any redeeming qualities because I haven’t even seen any gameplay outside of 5 second no-context clips. Even bad games receive better numbers than Concord.
Highguard is going to have more staying power than Concord solely on the fact that it actually had an advertising budget.
Even still, its got more legs to stand on than Concord had, which was zero.
I think its serviceable unlike Concord, which required too many changes.
Does anyone know if it is working on Linux (or Steam Deck)?
Nope, blocked by the anti-cheat.
Looks like nothing of value was lost
I doubt it with the kernel layer anti cheat but haven’t confirmed

“smart"boot and tpm required. It’s dead to me.

I just watched 3 friends play it, and they were miserable.
