Ready Or Not will be the spiritual successor to the SWAT game series. You will see a lot of the same gear found in SWAT and from the looks of things more dangerous and adaptive AI adversaries.

I was worried that their developer blogs had hit a stand still as the last one was 4th of July 2017, but now in March their third Dev blog is out, and I'm glad to see they are moving forwards with the project.
The devs have a great vision. This project is clearly inspired by the swat series and i hope the game is able to revive tactical shooters.
But i'm rather sceptical, until we see some actual gameplay material - the game is far from Release.
So many developers promised to "reinvent" the tactical shooter scene, but none of them couldn't deliver so far.
Just remember the kickstarter failure "Takedown: Red Sabre". But also games like "C.T.U.", "Epsilon" or "Ground Branch" simply couldn't hold up to the promises been made.
That the development takes some more time is okay for me, as long as the final product is properly polished.

Nah I would go for early access. First of all youll see how it goes and what shape it get. Also can work it out with devs by feedback. Look at Escape from Tarkov- great game and in early access, where they adding new features and making the shape of future game. Its heavily depends on devs of course. But I would go for players fan base feedback.
I'm not yet convinced they will be able to pull it off, but their work so far certainly shows some promise. The lack of communication makes it harder to judge at this stage, but either way I'll certainly keep an eye on this.

Hey Columbo, it is not fair to call "Ground Branch" with the other crappy games u mentioned. GB is still in Alpha, it has a very low tempo on development and it is far outstanding. GB is damn challenging, and it does allso include already a lot more "Depth" then CTU or TDRS. We still have to wait for updates on the game & development. The concept is very unique and alot of "serious" gamers took notice on the game in a very positive way with good feedback.

So, yes.. we may get our beloved SWAT series revived by some random dudes wich finally took the effort to make it. Since 2k, sierra & activision wont be a answer to this we have to keep our fingers crossed. I dont believe that Activision will come around the corner with a SWAT 5 - if so its will just be a copy of Rainbow Six *cough* Siege.. The industry does sleep well on their money bags and forgot that todays gamers are very smart .. they dont want to eat the crap anymore of the big global players. So we have a situation where "Tacticool" games gets made of groups without a financial background, cuz they love what they do and they know we will throw our money at them. I made alot of prayers for a SWAT Series Sequel, i even opened a church back in the days on X fire for players wanting to do a prayer ^^ So the answer came about 7 years later but its still a good timing. All i want is a SWAT like game with new gfx, new toolz and new stuff in it and RoN seems to be legit to fullfill that. On the last devbolg ive seen that the game will bring more on the way i ever dreamed of. Looking forwardz to the Pre Order on steam!!!
Best regards,
DC

Good on you, DC. I'm in the same boat. I will most likely be playing RoN. I don't think it will be like Red Sabre at all, I own it but never played it as it was a gift. You can tell the efforts that are made to elevate the experience.
Ah, it brings back memories of SWAT 4. The trailer looks awesome. I hope to see final release. [emoji16]

As I posted in another thread I hope this game does get released and is as good as the trailer shows. I prefer these type of games over others.
Guess we'll just have to wait and see if this is really going to be more than just an idea and actually a game that we can play. I think what Orion mention, about it being open beta type game, would be a good idea. Just need to have a way for users to give feedback in order to make that happen.
When I was on the site a week or two ago it was a bit of a let down because it did not appear to have any updates or time stamps showing when the last updates were. So it is not easy to track their progress on it.
