Embark Studios Faces Criticisms and Praise for New Competitive Shooting Game “THE FINALS”
The new 3-player free competitive shooting game “THE FINALS” developed by Embark Studios was suddenly launched on Steam on the 8th and attracted the attention of the majority of players. However, the overall evaluation started to dance tango. Today it returned to mostly positive reviews due to the player community. One of the criticisms appears to be explained.
Among the criticisms received after “THE FINALS” was released, many players who had participated in the beta test pointed out that Game speed slows down causing the overall shooting rhythm to be completely inconsistent, some players even begged Embark Studio to adjust the running speed back.
However, in fact, Embark Studio did not adjust the running speed. The official explained in a Discord announcement that the reason lies in the “Field of View” (FOV) setting.
“We found that there are some reasons why everyone’s experience with the game may be different,” said Embark’s Dusty. “Over the past month, we have made some small adjustments to animations, sound effects and settings, and these adjustments combined, It may give a feeling of slower movement, especially on light and medium configurations. Plus the presets have also been reset, so the field of view (FOV) is preset to 71, which may have a big impact on how the game feels Impact.”
In the game “THE FINALS”, the field of view can affect the vertical field of view of the screen. Increasing the FOV value will broaden the peripheral field of view of the first person, thereby producing a fish-eye effect, making objects on both sides of the screen appear to move faster.
The opposite is true when adjusting to a lower FOV, so the player’s perception of the surroundings will be slower.
After actual overseas testing, when the Beta version and the current server are both set at 71 FOV, there is indeed no significant difference in running speed. When set at 71 and 100 FOV respectively, it is obvious that the movement speed of 100 FOV seems to be faster in the fisheye visual effect.
After explaining the problem of movement speed that caused players to misunderstand, the evaluation of “THE FINALS” has been slightly restored, and it has regained most of the praise from yesterday’s mixed reviews.
However, although “THE FINALS” has been recognized by most players as a game, many players still talked about server instability and plug-ins in their negative reviews. This is also a problem that almost every free competitive game faces. Whether this can be improved in subsequent operations depends on the processing speed of Embark Studio.
The new 3-player free competitive shooting game “THE FINALS” produced by Embark Studios will be launched on Steam, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and other platforms on December 8.
