Ubisoft talked about how a player's interaction and play style will influence the type of character they eventually play as.

Super hyped for this game. I would rather load outs to classes any day and if you watch the E3 demo they were customizing there abilities while playing so....

ramiuk14594d ago

out of every game i seen in last 2-3 years this is the most impressive imo,nothing even comes close to how hyped i am for this.
the potential is huge

Tank healer or dps ? Is that it. Wow nice reporting.

Tyborg4594d ago

You didn't read the whole article. It says that the option is there to be a tank, healer or dps, but that you have the choice to put points wherever you want, so it will be any variation of a hyrbid class depending on your own unique playstyle.

I'm worried this game is going to be subscription based, even after we pay full retail price.

Tyborg4594d ago

I don't think it will have a subscription. It isn't a mmo in the sense of games like Elder Scrolls Online or WoW or anything like that.

KrisButtar4594d ago

It seems exactly like those with the difference being its futuristic instead of fantasy. Its not like you can solo the game from my understanding and in the E3 demo it played out as if there are PvP areas as well instead of just PvE. With FF14 and TESO requiring a sub it is worrisome that Ubisoft may try their hand at a subscription based game.

ramiuk14594d ago

if its supported as much as the likes of everquest 2 i would pay the subscription.
although with ps+ it would have to be less than £5 a month

Pogue19064594d ago

This game is basically, Ghost Recon Future Soldier on steroids. All the movements, the way they walk, lock on behind cover, the shooting mechanics, The way its shows the entire body of the soldier is classic Recon. Now instead of choosing between rifleman, scout, and engineer you can cherry pick equipment from each. The meshing of single and multiplayer is bad ass. And the graphics appears to be out of this world.

I can't sit here and act like I know these workers financial situations. And I'm sure nobody wakes up WANTING to go to court. But for the sake of the industry, I wish some of these types of cases made it to trial.

Settlements allow companies to continue to do whatever abusive practices they do. While the trials (should the company lose) would actually force real changes for the better.

But again, I'm not in these workers shoes and I can understand them not wanting to risk it.
