Get ready for Escape Escape from Tarkov is a hardcore and realistic online first-person action RPG/Simulator with MMO features and story-driven walkthrough. With each passing day the situation in the Norvinsk region grows more and more complicated. Incessant warfare in Tarkov has sparked massive panic; local population has fled the city, but those who stayed are looking to improve their fortunes at the expense of others. Having accepted the new reality, “savage” Tarkov locals - Scavs flocked into well-armed gangs and started the redivision of the city. Nowadays, Tarkov is separated by unseen borders, controlled by different groups. Gain-greedy gunmen would go to any length to have their way, including the murder of civilians and direct confrontation with the two private military companies. The players will have to experience living in the skin of one of the mercenaries who survived the initial stage of the Tarkov conflict. After choosing one of the sides – USEC or BEAR – the player’s character starts to make his way out of the city. Tarkov is sealed off by UN and Russian military, supply chains are cut, communication with operational command is lost, and in these conditions everyone has to make his own choices of what to do and how to get out of the chaos-ridden metropolis.
Tarkov city, Norvinsk region. Present time. Norvinsk The events of the Escape from Tarkov take place in the fictional Norvinsk's region Special Economic Zone that became a gateway between Russia and Europe. Preferential conditions for large international companies, however, have not only attracted law-abiding businesses, but corporations of dubious intent as well. In Tarkov, one of the largest cities of the region, a transatlantic corporation became the ground zero of a political scandal. Six months later, the political standoff escalated into an armed conflict involving UN peacekeepers, Internal Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and two private military companies. The region’s borders were sealed off, and those trapped in the middle of this local warfare flare up were isolated from the outside world.
The confrontation on the edge of darkness. Norvinsk The most active forces in the Norvinsk region are two private military companies, hired by the sides of the initial conflict. USEC, employed by the notorious Terra Group international corporation, vigorously engages in armed clashes, hindering the investigation of Terra Group activities, carried on by local authorities. Moreover, according to intelligence agencies, USEC provides armed cover to illegal work and research of the foreign companies, whereas BEAR, allegedly created on direct orders of the Russian government, is employed by the Norvinsk region officials to uncover any evidence of the Terra Group's illicit activities.

[sepho]

Lo vedo più simile a un dayz senza zombie (e Bug), con un progetto meno pomposo ma decisamente più concreto.

Dalle premesse potrebbe scavalcare anche The division di ubizozz. //content.invisioncic.com/a283374/emoticons/sisi.gif

Il team è russo e a quanto pare, leggendo da alcuni commenti youtube, ci sono alcuni sviluppatori di world of tanks nel team (non so se è una buona o una cattiva cosa )

 

[EdricWrath]

Teniamo questo come Topic ufficiale dai, comunque è interessante...a tratti mi sembrava un mescuglio tra Dayz e The Division, comunque è carino, ma sarà un altro Early Access?

 

[urza883]

Piu che dayz ricorda Stalker come ambientazioni...solo ovviamente realizzato oggigiorno lo fa apparire molto più bello.

Da tenere d'occhio sicuramente.

Little bit of EFT lore story
The events of the MMO Escape from Tarkov are taking place in the fictional Norvinsk region Special Economic Zone that became a gateway between Russia and Europe. Preferential conditions for large international companies, however, have not only attracted law-abiding businesses, but corporations of dubious intent as well.

Sincerely, Battlestate Games developer team.

For those who have questions about EFT, we've managed FAQ.Q.What is Escape from Tarkov? Who is the developer?

A.Escape from Tarkov is a hardcore story-driven MMO that combines FPS/TPS with RPG elements. It is being developer by Battlestate Games, the Russian game studio based in St. Petersburg.

Q.Will the game be free to play?

A.No, the game will be distributed as buy to play, bought once and for all. There will be no microtransactions in the game. However, we do intend to release paid DLCs later on.

Q.Will the Escape from Tarkov be a session-based shooter? What game modes is it going to have?

A.In the classic meaning of this term - no, the game won’t be session-based. It has several playing modes. The player only has one life, and, with dying, he loses everything that was brought to the location or found in it.

The first and essential mode will be available with the game release, the story mode. The game session (typically an hour or hour and a half long) will take place on a large, about 5-10 sq. km., open location. The player will have to consecutively clear all of these raid scenarios, with several possible exits, each determined by the game story. By completing one scenario, the player unlocks the next one. Players can return to the previously unlocked scenarios in search for particular loot or more detailed exploration (which can lead to the uncovering of side quests and locations)..

When all scenarios (there will be around 10 of them) are completed, a free roam mode will be unlocked. In this mode, player can move around a 15 sq. km. area without any time limits. Moreover, the game is going to have an Arena mode, which closely resembles gladiator fights.

Thus, although EFT technically does have a session in the scenario mode, it is only determined by the story, where player’s character has to escape from Tarkov. The free roam mode will have no time limitations, and in the Arena the game session will be limited by death either of player’s character or his adversary.

Q.Will Escape from Tarkov have a story?

A.Escape from Tarkov is a story-driven game, despite ins online foundations. Everything happening in the game will be determined by the story of either main chain of events or by numerous side quests. Side quests, by the way, can be handed out by traders, but some of them can only be discovered and solved by the player, without any hints whatsoever..

Q.Where and when is Escape from Tarkov set?

A.The events of Escape from Tarkov take place in an alternate universe around our present time, in the fictional Russian city of Tarkov, the northern industrial and financial center of the country, and its suburbs. The game events, in turn, set background for the Russia 2028 universe. The city of Tarkov is caught in a plight of the war between two private military companies, triggered by illegal activities of the Terra Group transnational corporation. For the reasons yet unknown, the situation in the city quickly went out of control and the local populace was evacuated. The only ones left behind were either private military contractors, the local Scavs gunmen or shady characters of unknown origin and allegiance. The details of the story can be found here -



Q.Can I complete EFT alone, single-handedly?

A.We do not intend to make an offline single-player campaign, though anyone is free to try and clear the game alone, without help from partners in co-op. However, we do recommend to find trusty partners for the final locations.

Q.What kind of RPG elements does the game use?

A.The main RPG elements in the EFT are the inventory system, leveling and character skills upgrade. New levels will be gained by acquiring new experience - combat, looting, healing, exploration, lockpicking etc.

Skill upgrade system in Escape from Tarkov closely resembles that of the The Elder Scrolls, with skills being upgraded by repeating the same action, and player stats affected by learning. For instance:

1 researched item boosts intellect stat 20%;

1 lockpicking without multitool - 1%;

1 lockpicking with multitool - 4%;

200 points of weapon repair - 1%.

Bonuses for upgrading the intellect stat::

Item research speed boost (up to +100%);

Basic lock picking speed boost (up to +100%);

Weapon repairs effectiveness boost (up to +100%).

There is one more thing that is truly unique about our bonuses and skills system. It is not limited by improving the stats of the character - he starts to to use different weapon grips, reload in a more skilled way, use medication smarter than before.

With every skill upgrade the player discovers new tactical opportunities, and the stats maxed to the top give access to the elite skills. Another new feature makes player forget skills that were not used for too long.

The inventory system is represented by a classic slot-based inventory, split into backpack, vest, pockets, weapon equipment slots, etc.

Q.Will there be clans or other types of player groups in the game?

A.Yes, the game will feature a clan system that will allow players to assemble their own groups. There are no limitations in terms of clan activity. It can be a combat-centered clan that hunts other players, or a trade guild that has both traders and loot collectors, or something else.

Q.Does the game have an economic system?

A.Yes, the game features a wide open dynamic economic system, where players will be able to trade both with other players and NPCs. The dynamics of economic system includes variable factors that are out of the player’s control. Floating exchange rates, shortage of goods, even trader’s health - all of this is controlled by the game AI.

Q.How realistic is the game?

A.The team of developers loves hardcore and realistic games, and, naturally, we would like to make EFT as realistic as possible in all aspects - health, combat, inventory management, character interaction, graphics, sound etc.

Your character can fall victim to a number of hazardous influences, such as wounds, infections, dehydration, starvation and so on. He is also affected by hypothermia, concussions and obfuscations. Players will have to use correct medications at the right time, load weapons manually, use it carefully to avoid jamming... The list goes on.

Q.How realistic is the shooting physics?

A.Shooting physics, as well as weapons and their customization, are something we are very proud of. The weapon is going to behave very realistically in combat, it will have recoil, jamming, misfiring, and bullets will have real ballistic model - they will shift trajectory after hitting an obstacle, will split and ricochet. Even the propellant gases will exit the muzzle brakes just like in the real life.

Q.How deep is the weapon customization?

A.You already may have had a quick look at how detailed the customization is in the Action gameplay trailer. Almost any detail can be removed and replaced. The customization offers the degree of freedom that will allow any player to create a unique weapon configuration that suits his or her playing style. Customization includes the change of mags, installation of flashlights and laser pointers, tactical grips, various scopes and so on. On some weapons, even the trigger or charge handle can be replaced.

Q.How many weapons will the game have?

A.Many. For instance, we are going to have absolutely everything from the AK lineup that was ever issued. Beside weapon customization, we are also going to let players build their own MOLLE systems, adjust clothing and other equipment. .

Q.Will there be an item crafting in the game?

A.The game is going to feature crafting, but not in the classic game meaning of this word. You won’t be able to make a machinegun out of wooden plank, duct tape and screws. The weapons can only be assembled from the real weapon parts, e.g. you can assemble the AK74M only if you find all of its details (mag, receiver, dust cover, bolt, barrel, etc).

Apart from weapons, there will be other items to combine as well.

Q.Will the game be available in Steam?

A.Yes, we do intend to release on Steam.

Q.Will the game support Steam Workshop and player modifications?

A.Maybe. Workshop mods will be properly evaluated by us to be accepted and introduced into the game. Mods that alter gameplay will not be allowed, since the game is online-based.

Q.Shall I have to buy early access to play the closed beta?

A.No, that is not a requirement, though, naturally, pre-ordering players will be guaranteed access. The rest of the beta participants will be selected from the newsletter subscribers.

Q.What are the hardware requirements? Will the game support gamepad?

A.The hardware requirements are yet to be determined, but we will try to keep them as low as possible. Right now, the game shows 120+ FPS with ultimate graphics on the PC that is above average, but not overpowered.

We have already tried playing with gamepad in one of the experiments, so there is a possibility that it will be supported.

Q.What is the engine that powers the game? Will there be a cross-platform Mac and *nix support?

A.The game is based on Unity 5, but many essential functions were created by us from the scratch. We plan a Mac release, but it is yet unclear if the Mac players will play with everyone else on common servers.

Q.Is this game related to the Stalker?

A.There have been numerous mentions on the net that label Escape from Tarkov as a game that is being developed by "S.T.A.L.K.E.R. creators" or "S.T.A.L.K.E.R. developers". Hereby we officially disprove this claim. There is exactly one person on our team that has worked on the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. before, so it would be massive overstatement to assert our project this way.

The Battlestate Games developers have previously worked on multiple projects in a variety of genres; however, we share a common passion for the quality hardcore shooters, which are yet so few.

Q.What about the console version?

A.We are considering it, but it’s too early to talk about that.

Q.How do I sign up for beta?

A.As was mentioned above, preordering the game opens up a guaranteed beta access. However, due to the large scale of the testing, we will also need the help of the lucky people who will be chosen among our newsletter subscribers - http://www.escapefromtarkov.com/signup/

Q.When are the beta testing and release of the EFT?

A.The closed beta is planned for the first quarter of 2016, with release in the second quarter.

Q.I trust my level design (modelling, programming etc) skills and would like to join the team. Are you hiring, and, if so, what are the requirements?

A.If you really have professional experience in the game development industry, feel free to contact us at hr@battlestategames.com with your speciality in the subject and attached CV. We are always looking for talented experts for our team.

Q.Are you financially independent or is there a publisher or sponsor? What should I do if I want to finance the game?

A.Publishing and sponsoring offers can be sent to info@battlestategames.com

Q.Are you going to make a special edition with artbook / figurines / caps and so on?

A.Yes, oddly enough, but we plan to make a box version of Escape from Tarkov, including special edition.

The FAQ will be updated appropriately.

Q: I have signed up to the beta test, how and when will I know if I’m invited?A: You will receive a letter with invitation to join Beta as soon as it starts.

Q: Will there be any closed beta draft criteria? If I make it to beta, will I have to buy the game after release?

A: There are no criteria for selecting players for beta, but we will gather the player statistics. If you got into closed beta by signing up on the website, you will be provided with a free test version; however, after the testing ends, you will have to buy the game to continue playing.

Q: Will the Beta be available after the game release?

A: No.

Q: Will there be a bug report system in beta?

A: Of course, there will be one.

Q: Will the game feature explosives, beside grenades and under-barrel grenade launchers?

A: We are also going to include mines and rocket propelled grenade launchers with antipersonnel charges and mines

Q: Will there be a PvE in the game?

A: Yes, basically, most of the Scavs encounters are PvE.

Q: Will Scavs be playable?

A: Yes

Q: Can I gather loot when playing as Scav?

A: Yes

Q: In that case, isn’t there a risk that everyone will play as Scav instead?

A: No, since playing as Scav is, ultimately, harder, as you won’t be able to choose starting equipment, and the number of playable Scavs on the raid location is limited.

Q: How large will locations be?

A: The Free Roam location will be 16 sq. km..

Q: Will the game be available in English?

A: Yes

Q: Will the game be PC-exclusive or there is going to be a console release as well?

A: We are considering a release on consoles, however, the game is “PC first”, there is going to be no feature compromise.

Q: How the third-person view will be used in the game?

A: We are probably going to make separate servers with third-person as an option.

Q: Will the game allow adding player mods, player quests, raids, etc?

A: For the most part, no, since it is an online game. However, we favor the idea of letting players add their own items, as long as they pass our check and get approved.

Q: How will the reputation system work? How do you plan to avoid the game turning into yet another “douchebag simulator”?

A: We have prepared an extended separate material on this, please stay tuned for updates.

Q: Do you intend to do a live stream to dissolve the “pre-render” septicism?

A: Certainly.

Q: Will there a be a Steam Greenlight announcement, and when?

A: Yes, as soon as the Beta is ready.

Q: Will we be able to make our own hidden drops?

A: Yes, but within raid session only.

Q: Will there be any kind of free-running in the game? Maybe mounting obstacles higher than character or cutting chain-link fences?

A: Nothing of that sort was planned so far.

Q: How will the PC and console versions differ in terms of graphics?

A: It’s still a bit early to talk consoles, but the PC graphics quality will obviously be higher.

Q: Will there be radios, comms interception, binoculars?

A: Yes.

Q: Are there going to be narrative videos, as in some other projects?

A: Yes, there are going to be pre-scenario engine-based cinematics.

Q: Do you plan to include stationary heavy weapons?

A: We’re considering it.

Q: How will the maps be limited and what obstacles will keep the character from escaping the city?

Third pack of answers for your questions!

We remind you that Alpha test is planned for February of 2016.

And Beta test is planned for first quarter of 2016.

Q: How large is the arsenal going to be?

A: Large enough. USSR/Russian-made weapons will predominate for the obvious reasons, but there will be plenty of guns from the rest of the world as well. Weapons will also be regularly added after the game release.

Q. What types of weapons will be the most common?

A: Depends on the location. The rule of thumb here, however, is that weapons do not appear scattered around the map for no good reason. The easiest way is to buy or barter it with traders.

Q: How does the spawning system work? Is there a chance that oldies will stalk the spawning locations?

A: There is no respawn, you only get one life for the raid. Initial spawn at the raid beginning will be equidistant from other players. Stalking the locations is impossible, as all PMC operators spawn at the same time.

Q: How does penetration of equipment and human body work?

A: It is based on a physical model. Penetration may vary by the type of the bullet. The bullet can pass clear through, split or deflect after penetration of obstacle. The same goes for human body.

Q: What size are the secure containers?

A: Different. From 1x2 to 3x3 slots, maybe even 3x4.

Q: Are there going to be female characters?

A: Effective results, level, experience-based classification and various other stats.

Q: Can traders be in conflict with each other? Will they accept only specific goods or everything at all?

A: Yes, if you buy from one trader, some other trader might not like it, and they all may have personal and business level conflicts with each other. Every trader is unique - he buys and sells a particular range of goods and provides specific services.

Q: What kind of missions will traders give?

A: Various tasks related to acquiring data. searching for items, contract kills, location discoveries, etc.

Q: Does this mean the Free Roam will be expanded? Will there be more raids? DLCs?

Q: Will we be able to see the character’s body?

A: Yes.

Q: Can the weapon be destroyed if hit by a bullet?

A: Haven’t thought about it yet.

Q: On character death - can the player return into the same raid location where he died? Can he recover the equipment from the cor[se, provided, of course, that it wasn’t looted by anyone else?

A: No, return to the same raid instance is impossible.

Q: If the group loses a fighter in the raid, can he rejoin it, or they will have to carry on with irrecoverable casualties? In the latter case, can they pick up his equipment (provided that situation allows it) to return it?

A: KIA operator can’t return to the group until next raid. His weapons and equipment can be picked up as usual.

Q: What is the Free-roam going to be? On death, the lobby is loaded, and I will have to choose equipment from stash again, is that right?

A: Yes, that is related to scenario progress.

Q: Please tell me if I was right in my guess that there is one stash for all game modes and it is accessed from the game menu?

A: Yes, that’s right.

Q: Will I lose loot if I die in the Arena mode?

A: Yes.

Q: Will the player limits be different in the story mode and freeroam mode?

Q: Will there be a spawn system like “get in where you got out”?

A: No, both raid and free roam can only be exited in the specified spots.

Q: Considering FPS and TPS, what will the main mode be?

Io non ho capito le modalità di gioco.

L'obbiettivo finale è quello di fuggire dalla città giusto? Visto che la mappa è enorme (Free roaming), per farlo è necessario capire e scovare delle cose proseguendo nel gioco tramite Istanze.

Perchè leggo che ci saranno varie modalità?
