Destructoid: Back in 2009 Codemasters attempted to bring the Operation Flashpoint franchise back up to speed with Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising. It received a mixed response from fans but earned a modest Metacritic score of 76% with mostly positive reviews from the gaming press.
Over a year later and Codemasters is due to release the next game in the series, Operation Flashpoint: Red River, which will feature absolutely no competitive multi-player aspects, a heavy co-op focus, along with gameplay mechanics designed to simplify and streamline the experience; is Red River the Operation Flashpoint game that fans and newcomers alike have been craving for?
Green Man Gaming are yet again offering more than just a sale with a breadth of bundles to take your breath away! They released two games bundles featuring Codemasters and Digital Tribes. Also discounted are Thief, Thief : Master Thief Edition, Bioshock Infinite and Murdered Soul Suspect at 75% off.
Some mediocre - crap games there. Couldn't even include any Codemasters racing games? It's the only thing they're good at.
Including the Dirt series in the bundle would have been awesome but i wouldn't say they are crappy games. I liked Overlord 1 & 2 and both Operation Flashpoint are decent FPS the other one are so so for me.
Like I said... crappy to mediocre. I liked Overlord too. Didn't care for Operation Flashpoint. But eve liking Overlord, I have no illusions that it isn't a mediocre game.
Even though it's still technically a good deal, the whole $5 or £4 thing annoys me. Humble bundle doesn't do this. No thanks.
You can pay what you want for Overlord, its Raising Hell DLC, Operation Flashpoint: Red River, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, and Rise of the Argonauts. Paying $6 or more gets you Overlord II, DiRT Showdown, and DiRT 3.
Mobile & Apps: "One of the most underrated shooters of the previous generation was Operating Flashpoint: Red River for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. With all its problems, I believe this is a game that is worth playing, however, it is not too hard to see why the game didn't quite kick off, as it should have."
Loved this game, it was dumbed down from Dragon Rising but still an enjoyable game. Was still offputting to people looking for instant/non stop action
Ha! Some colleagues and I are actually planning on hitting this one up tonight. Great game.
hmmm.. Doesn't sound as promising as I had hoped. My heart sank as soon as the author mentioned that Codemaster's is "making Red River more accessible to appeal to the Call of Duty crowd." FPS fans don't need another mindless shooter.. I'm think many of us were looking forward to another thinking man's FPS.
I think it's safe to see, this will be a "rent it first" game when it comes out this April.
MEH!!
