Resistance had some fun weapons, original enemies and decent graphics towards the end of the series. This looks like a compromise between last-gen and current/new-gen. Nothing I saw in that 30 minute video is anything I haven't seen before. Same weapons, same gameplay mechanics I've seen a million times before.
Usually I am swayed if the graphics are great but even in 1080p videos it doesn't look all that special.
@tuglu_pati Not sure why you are getting dislikes, anyone who has any experience in the industry knows this is the case. Though they are also to some extent responsible for making sure the game gets made on the budget they're given. People have a very skewed perception of the role of producers.
I ended up using the last power quite a bit when clearing all the left overs because it's so powerful (especially after it's been upgraded) but yeah it was a disappointment. Also disappointed it didn't have a special move.
@Shadonic I was thinking that could be great fun too. Chasing each other around and fast speeds, jumping into airvents and taking each other down. Could be lots of fun.
Examiner should be banned from this site. Forcing you to watch a video just to view a screenshot? Come on.
I don't really care about the multiplayer aspect but I am excited about this game nonetheless. It looks like a Need For Speed or Burnout on massive steroids. The ability to go off-road, the scope of the environments, the variety of missions etc. Looks really promising to me. I wasn't incredibly impressed with the graphics but they are certainly not bad either. I like the day/night cycle and so on.
I'll buy DriveClub as well, but they look like two different games completely. Driveclub is closed circuit games meant for competing only while The Crew has you taking down armored vehicles and tonnes of other varied gameplay variations. I think there'll be lots of crow eating once The Crew is out.
Looks fantastic and fun to me. If the microtransactions are anything like Need for Speed Rivals then I am not worried at all. Everything can be accessed through gameplay, only "cheaters" will buy the MTs...
He's really playing the game isn't he... that's what it comes across as anyway. As soon as he was appointed boss he's went to work at two issues; public perception and proving that the cloud and DX12 are real advantages for XB1.
He may get a few sympathy votes for this comment, but when any CEO says stuff like this I feel it's part of a game.
As for the cloud, the tech demo was very diffuse and while intriguing if it works there are stil...
We were doing 40 million poly characters on the very first Xbox. It means shit all. It gets turned into a normal map and in some rare cases a displacement map (which was not possible on the first xbox). But every single game out begins by modeling characters (and a lot of props) in programs like Zbrush and Mudbox and they end up at 40-100+ million polygon model that is then projected on to a low poly (these days they range but leads are usually 40,000).
Anything to get attent...
I told you guys you shouldn't listen to Lorne Lanning on technical matters.
Game looks like tonnes of fun and I feel it's going to review well. The graphics are quite good, not the best to be seen on next-gen platforms, but the variety of gameplay and scenery looks to be really awesome. Don't get the negative comments personally.
The thing is, Second Son has as many characters on screen, has a big city and looks way better than Watch Dogs 2014 edition. SS also renders an insane amount of particles on top of all that. This is disappointing and embarrassing for Ubisoft.
They tried _once_ due to a leaked, badly compressed youtube video of the opening level. As soon as better quality videos came out it was clear that Second Son was not in any way downgraded.
@gapecanpie Show me proof that Infamous was downgraded. It was definitely not. The game looks better than any other game out there and if anything it was slightly upgraded from E3 2013. Killzone was upgraded from PS4 reveal.
Watch Dogs is the first "next-gen" game that has been this badly downgraded (except Forza). It looked fantastic, and now it looks like garbage and it's frustrating. Bad Ubisoft, Bad.
@No_Limit PS4 reveal looked as good as E3 2012. Only difference was time of day and less rain. E3 2013 looked a bit aliased but still looked good. But everything that's been shown in 2014 is embarrassing.
Second Son has proved that developers can achieve (and surpass) E3 2012 quality.
What also pisses me off is that they changed the look of the main lead. That's like swapping out an actor after showing multiple trailers for a blockbuster movie. He loo...
Lorne Lannning's comment on the technical side of things should never be taken serious. Actually, he should in general rarely be taken serious. Very few if his "predictions" have come to pass.
This is possible on Xbox One and PS4 (definitely the latter) and I am pretty sure they said it will be included on the console versions. Stop being elitist, just enjoy your gaming. PC gaming, today right now, has no game out at the same quality as Second Son. It has tech demos that are superior, but no games. A lot of PC only gamers don't seem to understand the economics of developing for PC. No game developer aims to run on a high-end PC GPUs/CPUs only. The best they can do is add some e...
It was delayed officially. Search, the developers stated themselves that it won't hit until 2015.
Just don't see anything special about it. When I think of generic FPS, this is the image that comes up in my head. The mech designs are boring and don't look anywhere near as good as Killzone's mechanical enemies when it comes to shading, texture, strength of design etc. -- to compare to another next-gen game in the same genre. Although to throw a guess out there, I bet this game will rate higher than Killzone for reasons that only have to do with Killzone being platform exclusive...
