Pragmata vs METAL EDEN

• Perspective: First-Person
• Multiplayer: Single-Player Only
• Setting: Dystopian Sci-Fi Orbital City
• Platforms: PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S
• Unique Feature: A unique 'Core Ripping' combat system that creates a strategic, resource-management loop within a high-speed movement shooter framework.

• COREs: Ripped directly from enemies. The central resource used for offense (throwing), defense (healing/armor), and enabling the Super Punch.
• DUST: A currency found throughout the levels, used at vendor points to upgrade weapons and character abilities.

• Sci-Fi
• Cyberpunk
• First-Person Shooter
• Action
• Dystopian
• Transhumanism
• Robots

• Submachine Gun: Primary Weapon
  A basic SMG with unlimited ammo, serving as a reliable fallback weapon.
• Shotgun: Primary Weapon
  A powerful shotgun praised for its satisfying impact and effectiveness in close-quarters combat.
• Heavy Pistol: Primary Weapon
  A pistol that fires a horizontal spread of projectiles, with an unlockable secondary fire that launches a lock-on rocket.
• Super Punch: Melee Ability
  A devastating melee attack that is enabled by consuming a ripped CORE. It is required to break the shields and armor of elite enemies.

• Body Suit: ASKA's cybernetic body suit, which can be upgraded via the 'Body Suit' skill tree to enhance movement abilities like dashing and jetpacking. Armor is a resource that can be replenished by consuming COREs.

Players can upgrade ASKA through three distinct skill trees: Core Power (strength), Core Ripping (core mechanic), and Body Suit (movement). A currency called 'DUST' is used to upgrade a varied arsenal of futuristic weapons. Upgrades are designed to be meaningful, altering weapon models and adding new functionality, such as secondary fire modes.

The game is not an open world. It is structured around bespoke combat arenas connected by linear traversal sections. The level design emphasizes verticality and three-dimensional combat spaces, blending industrial sectors, decaying residential areas, and claustrophobic maintenance tunnels.

• ASKA: Playable Protagonist
  A powerful combat android known as a 'Hyper Unit,' built around a digitized human psyche and dispatched on a perilous mission to the orbital city of MOEBIUS.
• Nexus: AI Handler
  The disembodied voice of ASKA's creator and sentient spaceship, who provides cryptic guidance and mission objectives.
• The ENGINEERS: Antagonists
  The mysterious entities that control MOEBIUS and its robotic defense forces.

• Q: Is Pragmata a horror game?
  A: No, it is a sci-fi action-adventure game with a focus on shooting and puzzle-solving, though it features moments of isolation.
• Q: Can I play the game on Nintendo Switch?
  A: The game is confirmed for the Switch's successor (Switch 2), but not the original Switch hardware.
• Q: How does the hacking mechanic work?
  A: Diana initiates a real-time grid puzzle on enemies. Hugh must dodge while the player solves the grid to expose weak points.
• Q: Who is the developer?
  A: Pragmata is developed by a new, dedicated internal team at Capcom using the RE Engine.
• Q: Is the game multiplayer?
  A: It is a single-player game where the player manages both characters as a team.

• Q: What is METAL EDEN?
  A: METAL EDEN is a single-player, first-person 'movement shooter' that combines the fast-paced, arena combat of DOOM with the cybernetic parkour of Ghostrunner.
• Q: What is the 'Core Ripping' mechanic?
  A: It's the game's central feature. Players can rip energy cores from enemies and must choose whether to use them offensively as a grenade (which drops more ammo) or defensively to heal and power up a special melee attack.
• Q: Is the game open world?
  A: No, it features a linear structure with bespoke combat arenas connected by more constrained traversal sections.
• Q: Does the game use AI voice acting?
  A: The developer has disclosed that the game 'features voice-over content partially created through AI voice generation tools.' This was a point of criticism in the public demo, and the quality in the final release is a key point of interest.

• Requires an SSD for seamless asset streaming of the high-fidelity lunar environments. Path tracing support is exclusive to high-end hardware.
• Laptop Performance Note: Target a laptop with a high-refresh-rate display to better track the fast-moving blue hacking nodes during chaotic combat encounters.
• Laptop Consideration: G P U T G P: Minimum 80W (Entry), Recommended 105W+ (Performance)
• Laptop Consideration: Cooling Thermals: RE Engine is highly efficient, but Ray Tracing will require active thermal management to prevent clock speed throttling.
• Laptop Consideration: C P U Power Limits: Efficient quad-core mobile CPUs from the last 3 years will suffice; high multi-threaded performance is not heavily utilized.
• Laptop Consideration: M U X Switch Optimus: Helpful for reducing input latency during the precision hacking minigames.
• Optimization Detail: Upscaling Tech: Supports DLSS 3.5 (Frame Gen), FSR 3.0, and Intel XeSS.
• Optimization Detail: Key Settings Impact: Volumetric Fog and Screen Space Reflections impact FPS the most in 'cold' station sectors.
• Game Name: Pragmata

• OFFICIAL PC SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS. These specifications reflect the use of Unreal Engine 5. An NVME SSD is a mandatory requirement for both minimum and recommended tiers.
• Laptop Performance Note: Laptop performance will vary based on the specific model's cooling and TGP. As a fast-paced movement shooter, maintaining a high and stable framerate is crucial for the best gameplay experience.
• Laptop Consideration: G P U T G P: Maximum TGP for the laptop's GPU is essential to handle the advanced graphical features of Unreal Engine 5 and maintain high framerates.
• Laptop Consideration: Cooling Thermals: The game's visually rich world and intense, effects-heavy combat will require a laptop with a cutting-edge cooling solution to prevent thermal throttling.
• Laptop Consideration: C P U Power Limits: A powerful multi-core mobile CPU will be critical for handling the complex enemy AI and physics-based combat.
