Sono l'unico stanco di tenere premuto solo R1/M1? Spingiamoci per una rielaborazione del Generatore che sia divertente e basata sulle abilità! #ReworkDbDGen

0 Upvotes

Ciao a tutti,
Sono solo un giocatore normale, non un game designer, ma ho pensato a quanto sia diventato noioso il gameplay del generatore. Tenere premuto un singolo pulsante per 90 secondi in attesa di controlli abilità casuali che poi falliscono miseramente non è più divertente. Sembra una seccatura, non un gioco.

E se chiedessimo a Behaviour di rendere la riparazione divertente, attiva e gratificante?

Immaginate questo sistema:
**Niente più pulsanti da tenere premuti:** Premi R1/M1 **una volta** per iniziare e **di nuovo** per alzarti all'istante** e scappare quando arriva l'assassino.

**Un minigioco ritmico:** Invece dei vecchi controlli abilità, abbiamo una timeline fluida basata sul ritmo nella parte inferiore dello schermo (come il vecchio minigioco di ballo di GTA San Andreas) usando i pulsanti frontali.

**Guardati intorno con L3:** Dato che il pollice destro preme il ritmo, puoi usare la **Levetta analogica sinistra (L3)** per ruotare facilmente la telecamera di 360° sul controller. **Errori accettabili:** Perdere il ritmo non fa esplodere il generatore né allerta immediatamente l'assassino. Causa solo una piccola regressione dell'1%. Il generatore esplode solo se si sbagliano completamente 4-5 volte di fila.

Una modalità "Concentrazione":** Se si ottiene una serie perfetta di riparazioni, si riempie una barra di concentrazione. Il gioco diventa più veloce e difficile, ma si ricompensa la squadra riparando i generatori molto più rapidamente.

Per bilanciare il tutto e dare agli assassini un gioco equo, il tempo base di riparazione di un generatore potrebbe essere aumentato (ad esempio 115-120 secondi), ma i giocatori più abili che riescono a seguire il ritmo alla perfezione potrebbero ridurlo drasticamente. Inoltre, un sottile "indicatore di minaccia" (come la dissolvenza bianca in The Last of Us) potrebbe aiutare i sopravvissuti a non concentrarsi esclusivamente sugli assassini furtivi, permettendo loro di mantenere la concentrazione sul ritmo.

So che questo richiederebbe un riequilibrio dei vantaggi, ma il gioco non sarebbe **100 volte più coinvolgente** se riparare richiedesse effettivamente abilità e ritmo invece di essere solo un'attesa passiva?

Se siete d'accordo sul fatto che l'attuale sistema di generatori sia obsoleto e noioso, facciamo sentire la nostra voce. Condividete le vostre opinioni e diffondiamo la notizia!

A single question about replayability

10 Upvotes

Hi! I'm new player on NMRIH2 and I was wondering if the objectives on each map are always the same or if they change randomly.

I've played the Hospital and Lewington maps twice now, and I haven't seen any different objectives.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I couldn't find any information about it.

Maybe I'm just dumb, but that's a different story. :)

NMRIH 1 True VR prototype

While we wait for NMRIH2 1.0, here's my barebones quick video concept of NMRiH1 VR in UE5.

I was told no one on the NMRIH1 team was planning on making true VR with 6 DOF *Degrees.Of.Freedom (movement) and manual reloading. This was done via vibe coding for a quick lesson demo but I am now learning C++ and blueprints on my own. My plan is improving what is posted here as it is still WIP, so I will work on Broadway! * edit, my first map goal will be Broadway. Any blender/ coder people willing to help are always welcome 🤗

Constantly checking for updates, youtube clips and X news. I've seen its currently in update 0.9

New player question(s)

14 Upvotes

Just bought the game with my brother and we had fun for 2-3h in the hospital map until we reach the scan part in the morgue. We almost died after trying for a while and then decided to extract in the bunker instead, trying to keep ours loot that we ended up not getting.

So questions:

Is there a lot of these circle objectives in the other maps?

Is there really no way to get loot and progress without finishing the missions at 100% ?

Should I buy the game?

20 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I played the game during free weekend last year and it was fun even with all of those bugs, I really liked the combat system and slow/tactical gameplay.

So today I saw that the game is on sale right now and I was curious about its state. The numbers of online players is low so I thought maybe even after all this time the game hasn't been fixed and got no good updates yet.

Can you guys please shortly explain to me the game state right now and all new content that its received until now? Does it still have all those bugs and issues? Has enough new content been added over this time? Is it even with no/low players in the match?

Do radios not work anymore?

10 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’ve come back to the game after a break. I tried rescuing a downed team member yesterday and used a radio. I expect the horde to walk toward the radio and ignore me, but I found myself swamped by zombies and had to leave him. Have radios been nerfed or was that a one off?

How is nmrih 2 these days?

33 Upvotes

I played the game on launch and found it to be truly awful, barely functioned, was bugged to hell and you couldn't even get through a game, refunded it. What's it like now though? I'm kinda interested in giving it another try but if the games like basically the same I don't see a reason to.

Flooded is finally back in NMRiH2, and the lobbies are already a mess

They actually brought it back. If you missed out on the free weekend, you need to get in there while this map is live. It’s dark, the supplies are scarce, and you know for a fact some random teammate is gonna sprint right into a horde and get us all swarmed.

Who’s actually running Flooded this weekend? What’s the move for keeping the squad alive in these dark corners? I'm gonna be in there all weekend trying not to die, so let me know if you’ve got any strats that don't involve getting dragged to hell in the first five minutes.

Grinding nightmare medals

This post is for anyone looking for help in reaching their nightmare goal for early access rewards before 1.0.

I run with a group that plays every day and we get nightmare games done very quickly, which is great for anyone looking to farm. We get games done in roughly 10 minutes or less.

For anyone who is interested, add me on steam. My friend code is 388285133. I’d be happy to help others reach their goal :)


r/nmrih 26d ago

Survival Mode is back! Flooded returns for another preview this weekend.

Is NMRIH 1 Still Worth Playing in 2026?

17 Upvotes

I used to play NMRIH around 12–13 years ago, and it was my favorite zombie game. It's been a long time since I last played, though, so I'm wondering if the original game still has an active community or if I should just go with NMRIH 2.

One of the things I loved most was the variety of community servers and maps, especially Evacuation-style maps and deathmatch modes. Does NMRIH 2 offer the same experience?
