Escape From Tarkov “motivates” FPS Road to Vostok’s big demo update

pcgamesn.com:

The upcoming survival FPS game inspired by the likes of Escape From Tarkov and DayZ, called Road to Vostok, has updated its current free demo following plenty of community feedback, and you can expect the shooter to play quite a bit better than before ahead of its second demo and early access launch.

The Road to Vostok demo was released last year, with the developer saying that over 300,000 people tested the shooter. After collating all the feedback, shooting, looting, and AI are the areas of gameplay that will see the most focus on improvements. According to the roadmap, the second public demo should arrive in the third quarter of this year, with early access and the full release still to be announced.

The shooting mechanic improvements also come from the bar set by games like Escape From Tarkov, according to the single developer. “I see this as a good thing, games like this motivate us to improve our FPS mechanics and set higher-quality goals towards weapons and shooting in videogames.”

Check out the Road to Vostok update below, with the developer still preparing to release the second public demo in the future.

The Road to Vostok public demo 1 v2 also has a new attachment system, with updated weapon inspection UI, a recoil overhaul, and the entire weapon audio system being reworked as well. The looting system has also been given a complete redo, with hotkeys, new item icons, and plenty fewer bugs as well.

According to the developer, Road to Vostok public demo 1 v2 “seems really positive and there have already been great development suggestions regarding the core mechanics,” so expect more changes over time and with the second full demo release. If you already own the Road to Vostok demo you should have v2 automatically
