I think we have a Phantom Fury thread.

Oops, yeah, I got mixed up with the threads. I'll relocate the post.

Played the demo (which is about three seconds long). Hmm. The potential's definitely there but it feels very first draft. Enemy AI sucks and weapons don't feel impactful or fun to fire at all.
Train level's also a bit of a weird one to pick as the demo level of a game that they're boasting has high levels of environmental interactivity, since there's basically nothing you can actually do other than pick up a few crates and throw them.
Still interested in the game overall.

Was the demo removed ? I find the Steam Page but no way to actually download it.
edit : Steam Community hub says it's shit and it should be delayed until 2025.

It's more steam's fault for having that big green demo banner 98% of the time while that small blue one only appears every once in a while.
Not only that, but I could swear the "Play Demo" button used to be where the "Buy game" button used to be, so this is where I was looking.

The demo sucks ass. AI barely exists, guns don't feel like they have any impact, it's just a series of corridors with mediocre encounters. FPS games live and die by their gunplay, and it's just bad in this. Usually, when you release a demo, there should be some hook, something that will make the player remember the game until the full release, and want to buy it. No such thing here. Removed from wishlist.

Yeah, the gunplay is the worst offender here. Not just the sound effect or actual damage output of guns, there is just no satisfying feedback on hitting enemies. Even with the shotgun, if you hit a guy anywhere save the head there will be no jerk, he won't stop or slow down for a moment. There is nothing save the blood splatter.
So yes, the thing feels VERY rough. I'm gonna take a guess that they rushed to release anything playable in time for Realms Deep due to reputation that developed around the new 3D Realms as an unreliable vaporware company.

Yeah it sucks. Only emotion I felt was when I soyfaced when the Space Marines™ Drop Pod™ (Available for only $55) appeared.
The Twilek rapes this game (perpetuating the cycle).

Blood 2 has some of the most satisfying gibs among shooters even if enemies don't react before exploding into a gory mess. The graphics of Blood 2 are also underrated, peak 90's edge.
Could tell this was going to be a stinker from a long way, sometimes you just know. Despite the lack of personality (or more like a lack of good flicks to steal from) of Ion Fury it's going to be a hard act to follow up on outside the Build Engine. An earlier trailer was trying to capture the DNF2001 trailer spirit, but having played the actual leak of that build, the textures in that game was higher resolution than you get in many games made today, and the glass physics were still impressive. Meanwhile Fury Road seems more faux-retro than Ion Fury ever did, with pixels the size of fists on textures when games built on the Quake 2 engine like Sin looked much better than this, already back then hardware accelerated graphics enabled filters to make things smoother. It's like they don't even know what style they are going for, because DNF had that crisp early photo-realism going on, like Max Payne had.
This is the DNF aesthetic, the rainy section on the rooftop that was one of the most completed parts blew my mind when playing the leak but I don't have any screenshots of that.

Can confirm after playing it, shooting things feels bad. It was a mistake putting this demo out if they plan on fixing this because it just gives you a terrible first impression of the game. The mouse movement also felt off, like the game was made with a controller in mind and they just barely got M+K support working.

DNF also nails the glass shattering effects. they put alot of work into it.Blood 2 has some of the most satisfying gibs among shooters even if enemies don't react before exploding into a gory mess. The graphics of Blood 2 are also underrated, peak 90's edge.
