Grand Chien, a nation of rich natural resources and deep political divides, is thrown into chaos when the elected president goes missing and a paramilitary force known as “The Legion” seizes control of the countryside. Now, the President’s family has pulled together all their resources, including an arrangement with the powerful Adonis corporation, to hire a group of skilled mercenaries tasked with finding the President and bringing order back to the country.
In Jagged Alliance 3, select from a huge cast of mercenaries all with their own unique personalities, quirks, and backstories. Then go out and explore Grand Chien as you meet new people, earn money, grow your team, and ultimately make your own decisions that will decide the country’s fate.

if its unity engine it would mean nothing much really destructable unless scripted, as much as i want a jagged 3 im pessimistic
i want to blow holes in walls to attack through from the rear, cut holes in fences to sneak my guys in bases skipping the front gate, kick inlocked wooden doors , etcetera , and wherever i want, not where the game only allows me
not sure i want xcom esque turnbased with this game mzz, fingers crossed
the same company, THQNordic, that released JA Rage aka we gonna get fucked
JARage was made by Handygames, aka mobile subdiviaion of Nordic.
This one seems to be developed by Haemimomt Games... Which are. Quite hit and miss lately for me. Really enjoyed Victor Vran and their Tropicos, but didn't really click with Surviving Mars.
And JA is super tough IP to do
The poor franchise has been abused so much over the past few years that I find it difficult to look at this and think "yes, we really might have the proper sequel to the legendary JA2 1.13"
It could still end up being decent in its own way though, at least the devs aren't completely inept this time around and it's PC-only (for now). From the snippets indeed it does seem to be influenced by nuXCOM quite a bit. We'll see, I expect absolutely nothing so perhaps that will help.
JA2 1.13 is still fantastic to this day. Is it that hard to take exactly that, and make it lool like Silent Storm or something for current audiences?
I have zero hope nor hype, sadly

people just dont know how to code game engines anymore, all are stuck with this never ending clusterfuck of unreal and unity engine crapola
ja2 and xcom engine were just pure brilliance compared to all the turds we getting now
randomization and unique charatcers is what made the best replayable games, not all these cookiecutter assets n shitty mocaps ...
like look at facking xcom, that engine was made by ONE dude ... geospace.exe ... look at that little marvel and what a unqiue world it put on my screen, a random map based on where the ufo crashed and it fits on a fucking floppy disk, meanwhile 250 gigs of MODERN BARFWARE is like two maps ...

pretty much what im trying to do, hopefully JA3 is good but im want the old school style

Yeah... there is little to none need for R&D. Game is there. Someone already did it, properly.
Few touches here and there, better resolution/textures/animations + campaign.
Why it is so hard...

Hey dont be so hard the little console eunuchs, they need time to aim their lil vibratin thumbstick.
Hope it releases without denuvo. More of a game that i want to try for 10-20 hours then spend full price on. I've hardly passed the 20 hours mark with games with longer turn based battles like x-com and divine divinity. Always the dillema what to buy, it's just impossible to know if you're gonna like a game for 20+ hours, no matter how good. At least I know i never finish these kind of games from experience.
im getting massive vibes like it feels like much map assets are recycled from the jagged alliance online pay to win version that went offline not to long ago
tha gfx n inventory just look low effort below indy grade
man I was getting worried due to the lack of info but they finally came out and said what it is and it sounds surprisingly good. now it just has to work.
One player is designated the “host” and the other the “partner”. The host is the one who initiates the game and the partner is the player who joins the host’s game. When creating a game the host has the option of starting a new campaign with their partner or inviting them into an ongoing playthrough.
We aimed to make the co-op gameplay as seamless as possible. The host can save and load games at any time as if they were playing alone and their partner will be there along for the ride. Additionally there is no functional difference between a save made in a co-op and single player, and the host can continue the game in single player if their buddy drops out. Both players can also load any of the saves (auto-saves or manual saves) created during co-op gameplay and continue them in singleplayer.
We implemented a system where conversations with NPCs are controlled by the player who initiated them, but both players observe the conversation happening in real time. The non-controlling player can even offer suggestions for conversation options.
In order for both players to be aware of what is going on, we had to make some compromises. For instance, both players can only explore the same sector in tactical view. Splitting up to tackle Grand Chien separately might sound appealing, but the majority of missions take place on multiple sectors and it can get disorienting.
Both players can hire mercenaries and manage squads, but since you're on the same side, you share funds and strategize together. To remain flexible the host player can assign and reassign control over individual mercs at any time. When in a sector (tactical view) players can only order their own mercs around, with both players being able to explore the sector and interact with it at the same time. During combat both players share a turn, which ends when both players click "Ready". Easy and simple!
tldr
Entire campaign in coop
Host initiates game, partner joins.
Can save, load, switch to single player.
Conversations controlled by initiator
Must stay in same tactical view sector, no splitting players
Shared funds and squad management.
Control own mercs, shared combat turn.
Host can reassign mercs.
