I didn’t really get what the gameplay would be
Videos with only cinematic and shit is annoying. Give us some gameplay!
I love that the steam page mentions a feature is you use IRC Chat..meaning internet relay chat chat.
Now for the real question: is it actually IRC or just an in-game IRC-like interface?
The greatest hacking game of all time, Uplink, has an actual IRC client that you can buy and install on your in-game systems.
IRC pops up a lot in less obvious places too. The in-game chat in Warframe is IRC, but it handles all the server and channel connecting, locking you out of connecting to arbitrary servers.
Oh, I didn't know that about Warframe chat! That's an interesting way to implement chat in an MMO. Uplink is an excellent game.
Uplink is great!
The atmosphere of Buckshot was phenomenal, and the trailer for this looks great too. Looking forward to it.
I'd rather just hack real things.
