#ZeroHour #GroundBranch #ZeroHourVSGroundBranch - Hry
Zero Hour has me excited about gaming again because I see their vision and I have a dedicated 5 man and we love it! Zero hour is one of those games that will get better and better with updates.
and a bigger player base
Until a big studio decides to take over and add unicorn cosmetics
@@lee.as.in.l.e.e.7394 let's hope not.That game has a great vision. I hope to buy Zero hour one day
And become siege
I Hope they make a vR VERSION of that too 😂
Thanks for the video really appreciate it! We love Ground Branch and their dev team as well. Cant wait for you to try out Operation Meghna releasing soon this month :)
I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for all you work on Zero Hour, I'm sure Opertion Meghna will be awesome! I've heard good things so far!
M7 plz give me zero hour for free😀
@@nizamgamingyt1856 Seriously bro??
@@nizamgamingyt1856 10 euros bruh
That’s great to hear another dev company to say especially about a direct competitor. +1 to m7 for that
Short answer: If you have friends pick Ground Branch, if you don't, pick Zero Hour - it's actually populated.
Having played both, I think the most correct answer to "should I buy GB or ZH?" is "yes"
Haha true. You really can't go wrong with either
I’ve got both as well and the only “choice” I make is who has players online at the time. They’re both excellent and it’s like choosing whether you drive your Ferrari or Porsche. They’re both awesome so whichever has gas is the one we’ll do.
I have both as well. If you ask me which to buy, I say yes.
@ISI why zero hour is a cool CQB game and warzone is another shitty battle royale game. you cant really compare games of diffrent genres it just dosent work.
@@buchan448 yes your right warzone has really excellent graphics but the gameplay on it is far from realistic
Another thing to consider is whether or not you prefer to play as the role of a policeman (Zero Hour), or a soldier (Ground Branch), both of which dictate their respective rules of engagement and equipment.
Ground Branch's lead developer used to work for Red Storm Entertainment (Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon) before it was shut down. That probably explains why Ground Branch's levels feel larger than Zero Hour as they're trying to bring back that tactical shooter feel. Also, Ground Branch has been in development for almost an entire decade (even with a failed Kickstarter campaign) so it's a miracle there's a playable version at all.
Yah, I'm really hoping they pull through. Hopefully we see more from them in the future, especially now that they've partnered with a publisher. Fingers Crossed!
I didn't know they had a failed Kickstarter campaign 😮
They've been hacking away at it, and it's looking incredible. I downloaded the newest CTE to see what's coming next and they've added a whole ass oil rig map with 4 completely populated decks. It's honestly insane
How's the game now ?@@nicolashromyk5397
Surprised to see how few subs you have, this video was professional, well-edited, and covered good areas of analysis regarding games. Not to mention, timestamps. A nice cherry on top. Going with zero hour, nice review! +1 sub too
Hey thanks! I'm glad you liked it! Timestamps have always seemed under-utilized to me so I make sure to add custom ones to every video. It's nice to see people appreciate it! Thanks for deciding to stick around!
Perfect video man. First videogame channel I subscribed. Just the questions I wanted to ask and not too long. Also your english is a lot better than most reviewers, much more descriptive than saying "gunplay is meh". Keep up the good work.
Zero Hour just needs to fix the invisible AIs, but other than that its real good
brooo you nailed the nieche of this games, loved your video
Very well made comparison, props to you bro
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!
Great comparison man, this helped me out a ton! You deserve way more subs!
Thanks! I'm glad it helped you out! I was super torn when I was first picking them up too.
@@Popmandoop Decided on Zero Hour; two of my buddies are hopefully gonna get it too and we're gonna squad up on it. ;)
awesome vid man. descriptive slid points. dunno what kinda channel you are but this comparison vid got you my sub.
Great editing, great reviews!
Really appreciate this, more videos like this =)
Zero hour's pvp is better for tournament due to resources management and procedural prop placemets yeah its not fun in public matches but tournament r very exciting. Also in August update gonna bring huge update dev is trying best to slow down the pvp gameplay they succeeded in OBD update game got slower a lot than previous version still it need long term for proper immersion.
For ground branch i think its best game for experience of pure realistic shooting pvp
Totally agree! I can't wait for the new update!
I was asking myself this during the Steam Summer Sale… turns out that i ended buying both.. both are great! But I personally preferred Ground Branch..
With the next animation update, GB will be awesome.
@@Swisshost yeah!! I can’t wait for the update release..
@@Swisshost on GOD
Bough both games cuz my friends wanted to play ground branch and I liked ready or not so I tried it out and had a fun time. Didn’t know whether to redownload ground branch or play zero hour so I looked up which was better, came across ur video and your summary at the end with the “if you like smaller maps and smart ai then you’ll like Zero Hour” really just put it all together. Waiting for zero hour to download!
ah I didn’t see the end I could’ve bought it through your page :(
i liked the sound comparison ...
option 1: in the middle of a city
option 2: in a partially open residential area
option 3: should probably have similar environments to actually compare sounds..
just saying.. if the games have realistic sounds they probably also compensate for the environment the shooter is in, like indoors/outdoors, or surrounded by buildings vs open tree areas you know..it's the little things that make the difference..
Thanks for the tip! I never thought of that, but you're totally right, the environments don't really match up too well. I'll be sure to keep that in mind next time I do a sound comparison!
Thanks for the vid, it really helped me ! Gonna go for Zero hour because of the AI.
Cheers from Switzerland !
If ground branch has the same weapon customization than tarkov, more variety missions, like zero hour ( hostages rescue, bomb dissasembly, and probably and inside economy sistem) It will be the Game
I have a feeling Ground Branch will be the better game towards release as the AI is polished and the game has a full campaign, but at the moment Zero Hour has a lot more to offer.
great video bro!🤙🏆
Top marks for the time stamps!
Thanks! It's really annoying when videos don't have them IMO
Zero hour has fairly regular content drops, I haven't heard from ground branch devs since 1031
Yah, Zero Hour's dev team is awesome. They're putting out tons of quality content way faster than Ground Branch.
Ground branch has a 7 dev team compared to zero hour s 30. Ground branch has much more effort put into it
How does having more people equate to more effort?
@@josiahdublin7816 Its quite the opposite. Less people + Same quality content as Zero Hour = More effort. A 7 dev team is making a game equal to a 30 dev team's game. You cannot say that is some truly amazing shit.
@@im_nottelling_my_name_8832 well yeah if are forgetting development time. Gb has been in development for 14 years my friend.
i love how everyone not arguing between these 2 games
Zero Hour is a little more of an in-between game. It is trying to feel authentic and be a game that focuses on using tactics, but it's not as focused on realism as Ground Branch is. Ground Branches sounds are definitely more realistic. Both suppressed and unsuppressed. Guns are freakin' loud. Suppressed guns... are still freakin' loud. Something Ground Branch shows really well. I have a video on my channel of a gun with and without a suppressor so you'll see it's not anywhere near as quiet as movies and video games have lead us to believe. But I agree with you that the AI leaves a lot to be desired, and that's the main thing I harp on them about on their discord. Their development team is small, but they did just recently get a publisher and more resources to help them out, so hopefully that will be improved soon. They are releasing a big update soon, no AI improvements in this one unfortunately, but new animations, sounds, and other goodies.
In the next two updates we will see an even better groundbranch. Can't wait for it!
great video bro
Great video. However I was hoping you didn't do this video sooner knowing that Operation Meghna is around the corner in this month. Since you pointed out in your video that the gun sounds in Zero Hour are fine, but not great. Which the update would've addressed.
Good point! I didn't know they're changing up gun sounds in the new update! These games are just changing so fast I figured I'd just get the video out, and then make separate videos on the updates in the future. I guess we'll have to wait and see how that goes!
You should def make a new vid about this!!! Both games have excelled at a lot A LOT.
Great video, thanks. I already Ground Branch. I think I will finally get Zero Hour (as I have Ready or Not too, but I am not super impressed - and the cinematic filter really breaks the immersion for me)
My little brother is game sharing with me and he has zero hour, definitely gonna have to play it now
great video man
Glad to hear it! Thanks!
i wish we could customize the weapons and gear in zero hour like you can ground branch
Nice video!
Thanks!
Just found this video personally I have both and I like both and hope both make a good name for themselves
Zero hour looks more polished (?) but I'm a sucker for GB's EXTENSIVE customization and the GB movement style / fire positions
I play both along with the ismc mod on insurgency sandstorm. Ready or Not will be added when it's released. Probably gonna ditch insurgency at that point.
They should definitely come together and create one game studio
That would the dream wouldn't it?
Hell no
Buy Ready or Not for small map Swat style CQB, and Ground Branch for large map military style engagements
great video
Thanks Thanos! I don't think anyone could validate me more lol
i enjoyed GB's AI.they alert each other if they hear you, they take cover ,lean and are really fun for me. but i might try zero it sounds good but i hope the ai isn't that buggy
8:14 nice message
Zero Hour have really good AI until you find the one standing in the corner facing the wall and not reacting to anything.
Yes, come play with us.
Please.... we want friends
I feel welcomed back
Perfect! Haha
I would choose ground branch once they really focus on pvp more. Both are great though I'd say get both.
Let's say I already have Ready or Not. Would it make sense to get Ground Branch instead of Zero Hour, as RoN is already PvE focused and does it brilliantly for me?
I'm just afraid of the low player count on GB.
Great video btw, cheers.
get gb, zero hour is really bad.
Yes this video really convinced me to buy... Ready or Not
For zero hour it honestly depends on who your playing. With in multiplayer I was in a 2v2 match and we lasted a good 5 minutes before killing both enemies and most of th time was spent clearing rooms
Pls tell me what should I buy ground branch or zero hour
@@AlphaNOVA69 zero hour is pretty broken right now as someone who plays zero hour buy ground branch it’s probably more realistic anyways
Also cover character models and animations!
I think both fill different hole imo I own both and with the recent updates to zero hour it's getting really good now!! It's even up there with ready or not now purely because it's less about being ultra realistic and more on the action side without throwing the tactical elements out.
Another way of looking at it is ground branch equals ghost recon where zero hour is rainbow six
Nah.. GB has been in development for 9 years while zero hour has been in 2 years.
Oh wow! Yah I didn't know that so I just used the release dates. It's really impressive that Zero Hour is able to compete so well with such less time. Thanks for letting me know!
More than 9 years. It was announced in 2007.
Zero hour released a year ago..
@@rabbychowdhury4742 ok ?
@@zedx6626 He thinks people make games after releasing them lmao
Which one has the best realism with ragdolls and blood, and should I buy ready or not instead of those two games ?
Answer: Ready or Not when it comes out
Well it's (sorta) out now! Video coming soon!
In Argentina (where I'm from) Ground Branch is cheaper (544,49 ARS / 4,57 USD) while Zero Hour costs twice as much (1.047,75 ARS / 8,80 USD). Even so I think I'll have to buy it, as Zero Hour looks like that Rainbow Six I was looking for, while Ground Branch is the Ghost Recon I was also looking for and now I have.
keep it up
Will do!
GROUND BRANCH is the most realistic a fps video game can get
I've been looking at Ground Branch but bought "Zero Hour" AND "Ready or Not" for a total of 1.00 less than Ground Branch. Not saying Ground Branch isn't
worth it and it looks like its going to be more complete and polished when done but by then I'm sure I can pick it up for about 11.99 also. :)
I have both why not. Both are unique
You might have to update this to include Ready or Not now....
Yesterday i brought ground branch in summer sale
Zero hour is just an early acces game but ground branch is a few years old game, zero hour have time to make more guns, maps and make the game better with the community (they did it already) because it isnt launched yet
Pretty sure ground branch isn't technically released with how small the team is and how they're trying to make sure things are perfect before they update so they aren't wasting time... Could be wrong but last I saw it's still early access.
Do either games have a pre-mission planning/waypoint placing system like the old rb6 games? Nice that they have games like this nowadays with rb6 not being like that anymore lol
Or if not either of these, does anyone know of any games that do have that kind of pre-mission strategy anymore? I suppose the original rb6's are still playable technically if not lol
But remember that Ground Branch is still in Pre-alpha.This game has potential.
Or might be abandoned, like it is right now
Based on your review, I bought Zero Hour, but to be honest the AI opposition is full with superhuman terrorists and bullet penetration also needs a lot of work.
I spent the last three hours trying to do a solo run, slow and steady, silent like a dangerous fart, and terrorist shoots me through a solid concrete wall with a shotgun in pitch black where I use NVG, he doesn't even have a light on his gun and he doesn't wear NVG. The fakeout surrenders are way too common than not which really breaks immersion.
It really ramps up the difficulty artificially when the rules of engagement states that I cannot fire on a surrendering suspect and I have two chances for a mistake against, I don't even know how many terrorists are on the default two maps in the beginning.
I would love to enjoy the game but with the superhuman reaction speeds and a bunch of times soundless approach from NPCs doesn't quite allow for workarounds.
It needs a LOT of work and has a LOT of potential to be a replacement R6 Siege but for now it won't be among my favorites until these basic issues get ironed out. In the current state I would refund if it wouldn't take over two hours to figure out these issues :P But given that I am stuck with it, I can only hope the devs continue polishing the game.
u can try ron too its better than zh and ground brach both!!btw ground branch is almost dead only 50-100 players active peak sad thing amn!!gb like a good game become dead also i agreed zh need more improvement but i like the decent gunplay and guns animations(lol those gun animations are like c ripoff of mw2019)
@@nofearcauseallahisalwayshe8248 You forget there's a whole playerbase for the SP element of these realistic/Tactical shooters too.
I really love this type game
Haha you and me both. Fingers crossed the genre continues to grow!
Play the rainbow six series and brother in arms
If you have a pc and a Xbox controller you can setup your steam controls to match the game controls for your controller and you can play zero hour with a controller. But I don’t know about ground branch. (If your a console player moving to pc)
Yknow what’s amazing this man giving us a FYI before gun fire
Ground branch with insurgentsy sandtrorm option of enemy’s like bomber and zero hour AI I would buy that
Dude zero hour has a server browser now :D
Once the update for ground branch comes out can you do this again? Also ground branch has a smaller dev team
I think I'll cover the update separately and possibly reference ZH in that video, but with how fast these games are changing I'll definitely have to make a new comparison at least once a year.
And also, I do know they have a smaller dev team, so the less frequent updates make a lot of sense. I for sure should've mentioned it in the video, I was just more focused on the consumer point of view since the end product is usually what they're more focused on.
Thanks for the feedback!
@@Popmandoop Yeah. Thanks for answering my question!
Guys this might be dumb but I’m legit asking cause I don’t know… so can I play fire wall zero hour on ps5 with just a controller ? I don’t have no VR…
I have both and prefer different things in both games
Are they going to update zero hour pve? (New Maps ecc)
Back Again after playing a lot of Ground Branch, and two things. Boy if they only made the AI a little better the game would be so much better, even if the ai did bug out a little. Zero Hour ai is the only thing thats better, besides some of the Graphics. If Ground Branch Increased the Maps Graphics and AI, I really feel like this game will keep getting bigger until its on Six Sieges Level. It has so much potential. Also if you could add friendly AI in Ground Branch that would add a fun challenge as well. Ground Branch pvp is super fun, even better than Breakpoint Pvp.
The only main issue ive found with the AI in Ground Branch is them having their back turned to you when youre in sight of them and they know youre there, theyll still have their back turned to you and ive even turned up their turning speed, but its the fact that theyre not recognizing that they need to be looking in your direction, rather than flicking that way only when they shoot.
Got both.But i do have to say i like GB more.
I have bought zero hour recently but I had a lot of problems staying connected.. it kept saying "unable able to send messages." or something.
I was fed up with it and asked for a refund.
just get both thats all i can say both are veryX100 realistic fps game
i have both game and sometime i imagine both developers work together and make zero branch or ground hour
Both, because they're two different types of tactical shooters.
How about an update looking at the the updates? Thx
Zero hour now has a server browser
And I don't like the high time to kill in zero hours PvP
Well I already have ground branch and instead of ordering doordash tonight for food for 11 bucks they go get zero hour
Really, people should get both. Zero Hour is really inexpensive, often discounted in Steam
Been playing zero hour, ai is very good and runs great on my pc which isn't quite up to date enough to play zero hour or ready or not. No regrets though zero hour is excellent, especially PvE, even playing solo is a blast.
Can you make an updated one because of zero hours big update
what about ready or not ? (it looks similar to zero hour)
The superior alternative to Zero Hour is Ready Or Not. It’s more polished, ground-breaking in its AI technology, and feels better than both ZH and GB in gameplay.
I wanna get GB because it has solo play, but idk if it has controller support and the AI appears stupid
Best option for me is to get both
both games are cool. id just buy both games at this point if youre r6 fan
Jokes on you, I own both already!
Hello i am new tp this game, and i just want to ask... How do you turn on night vision, do bullet count and use grenade, pls help me i am having alot of trouble. 😢😢
I am talking about 0hours
Nvgs are need to be put on in the prep menu. When you have them you press g to activate them since they're in the tactical slot.
To check ammo you press the h key I believe.
And to use a grenade you also press g. Just check the bottom right and make sure it's the grenade equipped and not nvgs. You use the 3 and 4 key to switch between them.
Hope that helps!
@@Popmandoop thanks man
@@inevitableme6885 Yah for sure!
Customization i never seen before - try Escape from Tarkov.
Tarkov customization is the bomb!
....
but you can't go slidey-slidey with the sighty-sighty
you know which game had these things first? GHOST RECON FUTURE SOLDIER! literally every modern game borrows gunsmith from GRFS and you know what else? GRFS coop and VERSUS servers are back, search for GRFS 2022 multiplayer and prepare to be blown away
Zero Hour gun sounds are more realistic. IRL, guns don't make bass lol They crack
i have both
I am a big sucker for satisfying ragdolls I know what I'm picking
Does zero hour support controller?
