At first sight, tester Dan and billionaire Bruce Wayne have nothing in common. One lives in a gigantic mansion, drives Lamborghini Aventador and Batmobile… Another rents a prefab and goes to work by a bus, or on a bycicle. Unlike Gotham’s rich kid, Dan hasn’t got a yacht, filled with Russian ballet girls. Nor has he a kevlar suit or a Batcopter…

Focus-test

First of all, a few lines about what focus test is. This is a test for a focus group, the purpose of which is to predict the reaction of players on the product itself and it’s parts: graphics, sound, useability of interface, difficluty, entrance level etc.
The aim of our focus test was to gather opinions of experienced players on basics of Crossout. The personal opinion of one player and the sum of answers of a devil’s dozen are two different things, all in all.

A slow truck caught under the fire of a pod of adroit buggies. It has already started to lose it’s armor… One of the chasers was torn apart as the driver fired with a missile. It was too late though. Rear wheels fell off under the hundreds of bullets and the bottom of the car has gone into sand. The last thing that driver saw was the dozer blade coming up. It was the third minute of a heat in Crossout.

Description

In 2115 scientists discovered a wandering star, approaching the Earth and threatening the Solar System to destroy it. Humanity has nowhere to retreat now. People managed to build scouting ships from remaining resources and set expeditions in search of a new home. 15 years later, the first spaceship crashed when approaching the planet Gliese-6143-C. The only survivor made an emergency landing in a lifeboat. This is the beggining of his journey in the unknown world.

“The Solus Project” – is a survival game made by GRIP Digital studio. The player is about to reveal the history of the planet and, what’s most important, to survive. Ground locations are sandbox where players are free to do almost everything they want. As long as they don’t forget about their biggest enemy – the weather. Ancient underground constructions and tombs are searched in a more linear way, which helps the player to discover planet’s secrets.

The developers promised us more than 9 hours of general gameplay, complete freedom of exporation and a great amount of quests by the release date. We can have a few episodes, partial VR support and good optimization by the time of early access.

Our independent testing will show if system requirements correspond to the announced ones, FPS on different configurations or some obvious visual and sound problems existing in current game condition.
