Hi, today we find ourselves for the presentation of the game, SNOW
Which is a game of ski, released in Alpha the 10/10/2013.
For those who don't know the signification of Alpha :
It's the stage before Beta. So it's really to test the game,
nothing is really finish.. it's a foretaste.
This game is developped by Poppermost production
When the game will be released in final version,
it will be a free-to-play.
But now, to reach the Alpha, the price is from 19$ to 75$, on Steam.
In function of the price, you have more or less materials :
Skis, skis poles, and others clothes.
It will be released in final version in 2014, I can't be more precise..
Now, for the presentation :
There is nothing to said, it's simple.
The mode "Alone" is present. We can choose the mountains (Just one for the moment)
The leaderboard, but I see nobody...
Then, the store. It's pretty cool :D
We can see our character, and we can modify totally the apparence of the rider.
A things I very like, it's the "partnership" with a lot of ski brand :
Armada, Scott, K2, RedBull, Line, Faction etc...
So we can personalize our rider. Change the gloves, the mask etc...
For the equipment, we can change the bindings, the poles & the skis.
For the skis, the choice is very very large.
It's cool because the content of the game is improved.
Personnaly I have the cheaper version, so the content is less important than the dearest.
Let's start ! :D
In the Alpha, you have 2 choices. The mountain Siala, or the basics.
Loading is a little bit long..
Here is the North face of the mountain. Normally, we have the West, East and South face. But not in Alpha.
An we have 7 differents spawns.
First, we test the snowpark. At the bottom right.
As you can see, the graphisms are very cool. But it's an Alpha, and we can see some bugs..
So, we have 4 keys to make tricks. This is the arrows keys.
The space key, for jump.
I'm not very good..
And don't forget ZQSD for moving your rider
With the arrows keys, we can do combinations.
With the up or down..
With up AND down..
An other thing, we can slide too !
For the moment, we can't make tricks during the slide, hope it's just for the Alpha..
We just can turn, make 360..
Little freeze, sorry.
About the gameplay, I like the flip. It's not grouped flip, it's very clean :D
The gameplay is really good, hope it will be much better for the final version !
Another cool thing. When we skiing at the back, we can look behind with down key.
Now, go to another spot, the top of the mountain.
If you want, you can change the view with F1.
The First Person view..
Difficult for tricks, but cool :D
I fail, wait the snowpark for the other view. Sorry.
I fail again, because you don't see the jump, but it's enough to show this view ! :)
I'm very sorry, I fall every time..
Now, speak about drawbacks and advantages of this game :
Advantages : Multiplayer is coming !!! :D, in development for the moment..
Ski games are very rare. And with a gameplay as good as Snow, I never see...
Ski Challenge was good, but it's not an open world, and it's not in BackCountry :D
Another advantages : The personalisation of the rider, it's very complete.
The real ski brand make the game more "real"
For drawbacks : We need to paid for an Alpha, not very cool. But it's for helping development.
Snow is very very very guzzler. I have a good config, and my graphic card works a lot, too much I think..
The aim of the Alpha ?
A lot of people know that, it's for found the bug and to propose some improvements.
For example, SNOW give to us all the values used by the game. You can change and propose the best values.
The news : The multi :DDD
And one of the big things, the sound ! I put a song in background, but SNOW don't have one..
Other maps are in the project too.
Personnaly : For an Alpha, the graphism are good, open world too and the gameplay is addictive !
I think you see the "options" is missing. So I show you some tips to modify settings by console.
To go to the console, just type "²"
sys_spec 1 to 4 is for graphism (4 is the best graphism)
pl_skidrawdirections 1 (Look the result ;) )
You can see the rotation, when you are jumping etc..
I find an other bug : when you crash...
Look his legs and arms, this is very..weird.
I think I don't need to say anything more.
To conclude, it's a cool and funny game. With an addictive gameplay. Besides a lot of improvement is needed.
I hope you enjoy this video, comment, share & suscribe ! :) Bye
