Unreal Engine has a prety easy way to set up basic controller support, though high quality controller support takes some work.
We are aware controller support is important to a fair amount of people, so we shall see.

Glad you like the initial suggestion. The UT rocket launcher was super nice, I loved it too. Beam weapons ...I'd want anime style, might be more of an ability, slice through a few and then a short delay as they freeze and explode.

Nice selection for the vertical slice - am looking forward to seeing the shoulder rockets (someone else enjoyed the Anthem gameplay trailer?).
If looking for suggestions I loved the original UT rocket launcher, hold for multiple shots + alt fire fired the rockets as grenades.
The Corinth shotgun from Warframe is also a lot of fun - shotgun with an air burst shrapnel alt fire.
I enjoyed the recon rifles in Firefall but with snipers there's fair bit you can do from charge up shot mechanics to scoping in highlights targets to variable zoom to deployable mines/sensors/mini turrets/snares etc as well as the choice between projectile (ie planetside/planetside 2) and hitscan.
Destiny 2 Sunshot pistol was a lot of fun with the explosion on enemy kill effect.
Grenade launchers that can alt fire remotely detonated grenades as well as the usual type can be a good source of amusement (I can't remember the name but I recall Defiance doing the grenade launcher along these lines pretty well, Warframe has the Penta but that lacks a 'normal' fire mode as you always have to manually detonate the grenades which can be a pain in hectic fights).
Lock on/beam style weapons - think Symmetra in Overwatch, short range or other disadvantage to compensate for the lock on/auto target ability.

Endless list really but that's a few of the differing types/styles that stuck in my memory.

great update what i understood

- Mark is still invisible but i hear him
- Em8er I.D would it have a clan section?
- Boss man sounds are fantastic will there be a female laugh for the thmpr?
- Razor and em8er niceeee
- Would the chroma g-suit have colour change that changes gradually changes colour from e.g. bottom to top

- Could the g-suit colour indicate temperature, health as visual cues?
- Shifters want to see the grappling hook in action!

With weapons in firefall


Weapons most used In firefall for me were

Hmg because many pew pew
P90 because run and gun is fun
grenade launcher because great for mobs
Biotech needler because can switch to shotgun type to focus fire
& many more weapons depending on my mood.

Right now Chroma G-Suit is purely cosmetic. I'll look into game functions but then its more of a convenience item and gets away from pure cosmetics.


Though this is not a weapon i think its fun

Weapons from killing floor2:
Husk cannon because charge firing is great especially with demolition perk
Freeze gun because great to slow down and target bigger enemy
Katana because ninja like and chop chop chop
Hemogoblin because seeing enemies drain of blood looks funny while supporting with heals
Pulverizer because exploding hammer

Saints row 3
Again not really damaging type but they do some more fun!

mind controlling squid launcher

&

Genki mobile human cannon launcher

Super mario kart


triple green/red shells because they spin around you and if hit acts as a shield or a projectile!

Great Video, i see a lot of posts requesting for the old weapons from Firefall, while i do agree there were certain weapons that made Firefall classes fun to play i would also like to see new weapon ideas and concepts if possible.
*Nervously laughs*

Absolutely there will be new weapons! The shoulder slot multi-missile array is one that FF didn't *quite* have, even though we had a prototype in house. More coming, but I wanted that spiritual feel for the vertical slice and FF nostalgia

Oh I see what you mean. Ya I meant the thumbnail for Firefall fans only. And yes, alt-fire. why did they remove!!!!

Awesome vid. And great work on the Thmpr sounds.

My only gripe would be the thumbnail used for the vid. It's easy enough for ex-firefall-ians to recognize. But it may come across as bait-ey for others.

Glad to hear that the nova alt-fire is planned. Would also love to see the electron shock rifle and the rhino main weapon (i forget the name).
