Earth Defense Force 5 confirmed

gematsu.com/2016/09/earth-defense-force-5-ps4-announcement-leaked

What are your hopes and expectations?

Better design than Wing Divers, please.

Probably tastier graphics and more content. Its already got a good amount but it wouldnt hurt having more.

Bigger battles
More environment variety (arctic and desert levels maybe?)
Ability to have NPCs hop in your vehicles and operate turrets
Basic "go there" and "hold position" commands for NPCs

2 new classes
Better character customization outside of just armor color
Grappling hook

THIS

also, custom mechs

>Expecting this from Sandlot
Holy shit, can you faggots be realistic, please?

>Ability to have NPCs hop in your vehicles and operate turrets
Yes please.

Playing Air Raider solo might be bearable if you could spawn vehicles and have NPCs take them.

I don't expect it, but I kind of wouldn't mind it if they gave the Ranger and Air Raider a run ability, or let the Air Raider heal his vehicles by picking up health boxes. (Similar to how the Ranger does for people under his command)

Besides that, some new locations would be neat. Either way I look forward to whats in store.

They used shitty cash grab tactic, made the game for PS4 and when they made enough profit they just ported it to PC.
Going to wait for PC release and pirate EDF 5 since they can't be bothered to say on what platforms the game will be

Mothra's like butterfly type monsters
Cthulhu or The Kraken?
Pale Wing more than Wing Diver and she can sing the EDF song.
Open Wor... no never mind!

An easier way to sing the entire EDF song.

Feels real bad when you're just about to finish the entire thing and sing 3-2 twice.

1-1 TO SAVE OUR MOTHER EARTH FROM ANY ALIEN ATTACK

Macro it senpai, but yeah, being able to customize that quick-select thing would be nice.

Higher resolution support would be nice, I changed the resolution to 3840 x 1080 so that I could play split screen with my friend and we could have a monitor each and although it worked it was just the default 960x1080 stretched across two screens.

Could Air Raider get a version of the motorcycle that isn't complete trash? And also could it not get fucked up by half of the maps due to being underground or the air support just fucking off in the middle of the mission?

Low budget jank is part of the series identity but maybe less vehicles that are complete jokes. The air raider motorcycle is hilariously useless. It drives better in reverse. I just want to do buddy cop drive byes.

Here's what I'd like to see.
-Fix the camera for when you're crawling on walls in the Depth Crawler (assuming that returns).
-Sprinting for everybody, plus a dodge roll for Wing Divers.
-Make item boxes float on water.
-Joke weapons like cans of bug spray, giant fly swatters and magnifying glasses you can hold up to the sun (does not work underground).

More wacky guns

The announcement site was pretty funny, they originally had a "surprise announcement", but the left the URL for EDF5 in the code.

Then when that got exposed, they removed it and changed the announcement page to a pun about stuff leaking.

If there's going to be DLC weapons, make better versions of them unlockable. I want to use my stupid anime girl tank on a difficulty higher than easy.

make fencer's dash and jumps standard movement rather than tied to the type of weapon.

First person mode

better controls

sprint button

more melee options

let us blow up buildings with 1 rocket like EDF 2017

more classes

Delete the support class or whatever, has some cool weapons but totally not viable for singleplayer, give all his shit to the soldier or a class that can hold his own.

Give us a cyber ninja class that can run up walls and do flips and shit but only has melee and crowd control

Better leveling up system, let us level up stats

Horde mode

More standard enemy types

Less copy n paste levels

More location themes

more fps

bring back giant centipedes

I hope the PC version comes out faster this time.

>deeper customization
>new insects
>new classes
>a sprint button/better mobility for all
>SPACE

>All these people saying new classes

The grinding would be excruciating.
Not that I'd mind a new class if it's fun to play and interesting, personally though I'm ok with the 4 they've got.

>Give us a cyber ninja class that can run up walls and do flips and shit but only has melee and crowd control
>taking down ships by super-jumping to them and sticking a sword in their metal

I actually want this.

MANTIS ENEMIES
LIGHT BUG ENEMIES
GIANT TURTLE KAIJU

What I really want is more balance between classes. I've played a bunch of the classes extensively on inferno with the exception of air raider which I only played a fair amount and it seems like the wing diver is usually more effective in various situations than the other classes, especially online where the enemy health is multiplied and the more damage that the other classes, say the ranger is able to put out is diminished. This is made worse with the ranger's terrible mobility which leaves him vulnerable very often. There have been missions where our team was made up of mostly wing divers and maybe an air raider or two at most to support them. The other classes denfinitely need buffs of their own to keep up with wing diver.

I really hope they don't do what many people are asking for and make new classes, that will only make it harder to balance them. In general more enemy types with different abilities is always welcome.

Rangers do better in long range and Fencers run away better than Wing Divers so they're always clutching it.

But Rangers should have a sprint at least.

You can customize it dude

>Fencers run away better than Wing Divers so they're always clutching it
Well can't argue with that, have played a fair few games where the tactic was to aggro and kite the enemies as fencer while the rest of the team attacks from afar.

It just seems weird that the wing diver seems to be the most well rounded character despite the fact that it's supposed to be ranger's thing.

Rangers bring the dakka.

Class balancing doesn't really seem to work as intended. Fencers can't bring that much firepower but they're the fastest because of an oversight, Wing Divers are "glass cannons" but everyone dies instantly anyway so they become the stalwart mainline with their mobility, and Rangers are supposed to be all rounders but are miserable close up because of their lack of mobility, so they have long-range DPS that other classes don't get.

Only class that works the way it's supposed to is Air Raider, although they get eaten alive in later missions.

be on PC
I dont want to wait another 6 years for steady 30fps version on PS6

man they didn't really think this one through huh

>Expectations

EDF 4.1.5, basically more of the same.

>Hopes

Insect Armageddon style character designs, perhaps some customization and i'd absolutely love to have the really well rounded control scheme from Insect Armageddon with a dedicated sprint button, more interesting jetpack mechanics, dashes, dodges etc 4.1 really feels overly bare bones by comparison.

Don't get me wrong, overall Insect Armageddon is a terrible fucking game, but there was some brilliant stuff in among it all that i'd love to see them incorporate into the main franchise.

>all these faggots asking for customization
Fuck the recent trend in games where everything has to be customizable. Fucking millennials need to feel like special fucking snowflakes running around because the color picker isn't enough customization for them. Go play overwatch or tf2 if that's what you want, EDF has an actual theme and sticks to it. If you want more customization in this game then you obviously have no idea what the game is about.
