Hosted from my Box Account. The entire explains-nothing Codex that's mostly an FAQ.

And was like $3.

Pay 3 bucks to witness a gratuitous marriage of stock images and in engine renders.

For the sake of those reading, a synopsis. @Smutley, confirm/deny any questions I have here, will ya?:

This little codex for Rev60 reads like a propaganda piece. A really, really shitty propaganda piece. It opens up explaining that Fifth Column is bad and has taken over China, whilst dropping ominous hints about what, exactly, they've done that's wrong. In this Kiwi's opine, it reads like the writer of the Codex is pissed that China is less-dependent on foreign imports than ever before and has done away with the welfare state, but I digress. The document explains that the US is helplessly castrated, and that China has been threatening the world with doom lasers from a massive platform called the Death Lotus, and that ONLY CHESSBOARD, AND BY PROXY, YOU, CAN SAVE US ALL.

It is at this point that you recognize that Wu is a fucking terrible person at naming things. "Fifth Column" is a term for state-backed insurgency. "Death Lotus" is the least fucking chinese name they could have named that platform. We'll discuss more of Wu being shit at naming soon, but for now, we discuss the rest of this train-wreck.

The Codex then goes onto explain that you are a member of Chessboard and Chessboard has a team-oriented AI at its helm and this is totes amazing and they have a 98% mission success rate and they are totally badass, you guys. They're also all American which is totally not hypocrisy given Wu's bitching about CoD and the like at all. The Codex explains that you are to obey the orders of Chessboard's higher-ups at all times. Obedience is mandatory, and fuck this organization is as transparently secretly evil as fucking Count Graduon, isn't it?

OK, so after that initial flappery is out of the way, we are introduced to the SUPER IMPORTANT mission commander, Minuette, who is in charge of damage control and is the best commander because she follows the Chessboard AI's orders 96.3% efficiently. She apparently is a socialite senator's daughter and the youngest recruit Chessboard has ever had. She's the best, the codex orders, because she's totes abandoned human things like emotion, and she has extensive cyberwear that makes her as much machine as human, and this girl is totes going to betray us, isn't she?

The fucking Hive from Destiny are less plainly evil than these motherfuckers.

All right, all right, enough bitching, moving on. It then moves on to cover Chessboard Insertion/Exfiltration craft and how the pilots they have are the best due to nanotech enhancements. It introduces us to Valentina, who apprently is a combination pilot/infiltration specialist. It's worth noting that these are probably the most genuinely useful parts of the entire document, giving some information and context to the rest of the cast, but it's 90% fluffery and almost none of it useful in-game. We then learn about Charbonneau, whose identity is an enigma and likely the aptly-named Lady Not-Appearing-in-This-Game. It mentions that Chessboard has a full assassin team, before we meet Chase Wu. This character is a blatant insert for Frank, Wu's husband, and essentially details an incident in which a mission he was on was successful because he has no personality of his own and was completely subservient to Minuette. We then learn about Chessboard's Comms Division and Sarah Patanjali, another enigma with no portrait, who essentially made the Chessboard AI. Finally we meet David Ibsen, and the Chessboard engineering corps, and it's dawned on me (Smutley, plz confirm) that maybe about 5% of this document was in any way relevant to the characters in Revolution 60.

Fucking finally we get out of Human Resources and back into shitty propaganda for about 15 pages as Chessbpoard tells us that ONLY CHESSBOARD ASSETS MATTER DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING WITH OUTSIDE AGENCIES CHESSBOARD IS ALL YOU NEED, before we learn about Chessboard's station, N313, which is openly a Metal Gear Reference, and its creator, Amelia Melpomene, who works for Chessboard without fully knowing it, and who is super ultra-turbo chocolatey-fudge-coated mega smart.

We then learn about Chessboard's combat doctrine, which sems entirely centered on "STAY LINKED TO AI AT ALL TIMES," and which lists off that Crisis Operative will be dispatched if shit goes tits-up. We learn of Alex Grantham, another male character with no actual character model who I'm 94% sure is not involved in the plot in any fashion.

We then learn Chessboard's history, where it's heavily implied that it's essentially god-tier and always makes proper calculations. I'm sure that's totally legit, considering @KidKitty's massively powerful rig which I'm fairly certain is from a fucking ICBM silo can barely run Warframe at max settings.

We then learn about Fifth Column, whose backstory makes no sense whatsoever even with the context of the world. Chessboard said they were vat-grown in the earlier paragraph, but that they started as a splinter group of the PLA in this section. Chessboard labeled them a non-threat, which being Chessboard is apparently god in this document, is hilarious, because that was about as false as Wu's self-flag. The document then says that they built the Death Lotus, which conventional wisdom said was impossible, and again, Chessboard, being deific, should have predicted. They then blew up the governmental center and somehow this resulted in them taking over the PRC as opposed to simply making themselves the enemy of China itself and every other country associated with it. I'm entirely sure Wu knows dick about international politics.

We get a bit of info about the Fifth Column Troops, which essentially details they are disposable, and gives no real information about them as antagonists beyond the fact that they're empty shells. It covers their weapons a bit though, which finally informs us that they're energy weapons but doesn't seem able to tell the difference between lasers and accelerated particle beams.

It also explains that Fifth Column uses Plasma Grenades to kill Chessboard operatives, since the temperature flashpoint and toxic chemicals are sufficient to overload a Chessboard Operative's nanocolony (this is immediately recorded for Deagle Nation military purposes). It explains that they also use deployable cover in the form of laser-walls and impractical energy chainguns before getting into Fifth Column Vehicles, the overpowering majority of which will not be seen in the game and indeed, are not colored or textured. It does go over the Death Lotus and a fighter Holiday fights in-game, however, which I suppose are almost relevant.

Afterwards it has an article on gravitic technology that Wu openly stole from another sci-fi setting, before it gets into Chessboard's equipment for operatives. Holiday's armor is apparently designed for resisting thermal stress from energy weapons (rather than kinetic impacts or blast trauma), which means, in a shocking change from the norm, Holiday's armor has hard science behind it, though that doesn't explain why it's a fucking catsuit. Similarly, her boots have gravity generators for use in low/zero G environments. It briefly goes over Chessboard comms and computer gear before finally discussing Holiday's pistol, which is both described as a charged-particle weapon and using custom solid rounds by means of a holographic technology not yet described. This is followed by Minuette's retarded-looking pistol which does much more damage and has no bayonet. Why it looks like Fallout's Alien Blaster or similar 1950s kitsch future weapons is not explained.

I will take this time to note that we are now halfway through this train-wreck. I'll get the rest a bit later, but for no, Kiwis, courage. :semperfidelis:
 
I was already pretty confused when she mentioned that there's a huge market for QTEs but typing? I'm convinced Brianna has never met anyone who plays videogames now.
Once again she or someone else wracked their brain to find another easy to code combat system. They could have done a primitive fighting game type thing where they just do random moves slightly telegraphed and you can get out of the way or else do the right counter move like rock paper scissors and then they just had some probability of blocking you or escaping depending on who they are and what move you make. If she could do all of this there is no particular part of I can think of that she hasn't already implemented in some way somewhere in the game
She could have done it with the other game too actually.
I've never written a modern computer game but can someone confirm this is not that hard?
Lol, that's Wu's animation project.

What a waste of Mommy and Daddy slush funds.

Here's a link with a brief description of it.

Ands here's the movie itself.

I think this is one of frank wu's projects.
 
It's honestly hard to put into words how confusing this book is.

Like...why is it such heavy handed propaganda from the "good guys?"

Wouldn't it make more sense if the bad guys employed this sort of propaganda? If there was a plot twist where it turns out the that "good guys" are actually the villains then this would be clever - is there one of those in this game?

It really reads like Chessboard is the oppressive dystopian government.

Because Wu has no self-awareness. I can't even be bothered to read beyond, well... Anything, because it all comes off as retarded.
 
That codex shares a lot in common with Mein Kampf. It is effectively a massive propaganda piece written in a nigh-incomprehensible style by a delusion madman who wants to violently put an end to everything he sees as presenting a personal affront to his authority.

Thank god it's not the 1930's anymore.

Series and games that bribri has ripped off according to this

-Home front (America being crippled to death by Asia using a satellite)
-VR Troppers (a group of Mary sues and Gary stues using the power of technology to kick ass and leadered by a AI)
-Kamen rider (The bad guys are technically Shocker without the big monsters)
-Mass effect (a lot, most blatantly the weapons and armors of Chessboard also satellite of raping doom)
-Deus ex (not human revolution, the first one, in my book invisible war doesn't exist)

Bribri can't into vidya Revolution 60 is just a Glorified fanfic

If someone manage to register space Kat, can we put the name of Hotwheelz as CEO? I want to see the second nuclear apocalyptic meltdown of wu

And yet the waists are still impossibly thin and they all have thigh gaps. Another CWC-pattern: the "apology" and "fix" that only serves to display that they had no idea what the point of the apology was in the first place.
 
No. Just stopped giving Wu money after blowing nearly a quarter million on failed projects. Whereupon Wu decided they were horrible cishet shitlords and started talking shit about them.
It's kind of funny shit turned on them considering they are the reason she transitioned underage. Bitch is pretty fucking privileged for a trans woman.
 
Wu is about as good at propaganda as North Korea.

Step up your game, Brianna. People are too used to this obvious indoctrination. You've got to be sneaky and subtle like those SJWs who want to use brainwashing to cure racism and sexism.
 
Ample evidence suggests that all edits to Brianna Wu's and Revolution 60's userpages have been by Brianna Wu herself.

Really?

Cause I was about to suggest, that perhaps the wiki page for R60 needs a little more criticism and a lot less cockgobling.

Here is an excellent review by a womyn-born-womyn (I shit you not, this is an actual word and concept with feminists) who is also a PoC and is pretty good at laying out exactly why R60 is such a god awful travesty of a game.
