Nothing groundbreaking or world shaking about this game. An American company makes an FPS, of course it'll have US soldiers as protagonists. A British game studio will have British soldiers as heroes. Who do you expect an Iranian game company will portray as the good guys? Team Seal 6?
Chasing Somali pirates, car chases and a crashing helicopter? They did that already years ago with Delta Force: Black Hawk Down!
Games are software designed to play to a certain hardware configuration. As such they are configurable to any other hardware configuration by simply modifying or adding some codes. We've seen it's done countless of times before. It's not impossible and we all know it. It's the decisions from the publishers to ensure which certain games should be exclusives and which are to be multi-platformed, not simply the hardware alone.
The most perfect example is The Witc...
Wait...laptop? I've always have the impression that developers carry around their desktop PCs around to these events to showcase their demos.
As for your resold disks you're proud of...MS and Sony are trying to kill that with next gen.
Yes, Steam/using the PC is considerably better since I can keep those games in my HDD and even transfer them to another HDD/PC. No need for disc swapping and I can still play the same games with every new PCs I've built. I have some very old games in my PC like Freespace, Giants Citizen Kabuto, Nox...What I see with the consoles, you have to buy your PS2 classics AGAIN (re-ma...
Eh, what...where did you go?
Huh...hey, the punctuation's changed!
Who goes there?
I noticed something sinister recently. During Diablo 3's development, Torchlight was deemed as a rival or something might beat the former to the punch. In reviews it was seldom painted as a cheap Diablo clone.
Same with Torchlight 2's previews last year. It was deemed as worthy competitor to D3. Never as a cheap ass clone.
BUT, after D3's launch I noticed a number of preview sites seem to be be adamant to let people know that T2 is nothing more t...
Point #8 sounds more like immersion-breaking than rocking the gaming world. Why would you want to look at something on the table when ALL the action is on the giant HDTV? Especially in a racing game. Jet fighter pilots have all their important information (target acquisition, speed, elevation, weapon loadouts, range to target) projected out onto their helmet visors so they don't have to look at the ones on the dashboard during a life and death dog fight. I believe Formula One drivers also...
A tech show on my local TV channel recently reviewed Diablo 3. I was kinda excited since the show have primarily reviewed console games during its 2 years of air time and I'm interested to see how they treat PC gaming.
Then...I saw the reviewer talked excitedly about the pros and cons of Diablo 3...with an Apple laptop smack right in front of him. After all these years I've been waiting for the show to review a PC game for a change and when they FINALLY reviewed one (...
I seldom played Dead Space 2 singleplayer during the night. It's always in the day.
Except for the multiplayer portion. That I don't mind playing at night since it's just the usual team deathmatch. It's hard to get scared when the monsters are Russian kids screaming and laughing into their microphones.
Review with a score point...for an Alpha software?
In one session I took a quad bike, a friend took a BMP and another friend took an ammo truck. Together we rushed towards a town tens mils away. The truck turned upside down over a sand bank and the BMP tried turned it upright again. Some AI enemy RPGed all the vehicles but I killed them while my BMP friend dragged out the unconscious body of the truck driver.
After a revive all three us resume our journey to the town. On foot. 3 miles away. Three infantrymen running towards ...
They better do something pretty soon though. They have a gold mine in their hand and they really need to lock it down. The Patch 1.61 is a good start.
"I've had a lot of approaches with a lot of money offered - really quite a lot of money - in the last three weeks."
That's worrying. It'll be sad if by the time Day Z reach Beta, there would be already some finished clones for the consoles taking their thunder away.
Which is why Crytek announced that all future Crytek games will be Free to play.
The guns are so powerful that they tore up the freaking walls!!
BUT...they couldn't scratch the sofas, the wooden cabinets, tables, fridge..stuff that the everyone are hiding behind.
"While it might not be grabbing headlines..."
Perhaps but what's more important is that there are so many brand new game engines for everyone to enjoy. I haven't seen an engine competition between studios this intense since Doom 3 and Far Cry were released near each other. Then, Crysis came along and scared everyone from investing too much on game engines. Ever since then it was either an engine or two new game engines per year or just another Unreal 3 power...
Nice animation and amazing looking night sky.
The demonstrator guy kept reaffirming that they are hard at work to make sure Arma 3 will be smoothest Arma of all. I guess that is the highest priority back in their studio. From the look of the demo I guess they are on the right track.
It is strange that everyone thought they're next gen just because they said they ran on high end PCs with nvidia hardware...They're DEMOs which mean the final game will be optimized with for latest hardware, not just for expensive hardware that not many PC gamers own.
Another strange thing is that 1313 is using the latest Unreal 3 engine while Epic have promoted heavily over the past months that Unreal 4 will lead the charge into next gen. I don't think Lucas Art ...
When I heard they removed the DRM from the retail version of The Witcher 2 in the second patch, I immediately went to buy it.
When I heard Diablo 3 was going to use an online DRM, I ignored it since then.
Just several years ago I'm always worried whether my PC can play the latest games. But that's something that I can control to an extent by tweaking the game or my PC or upgrading.
Now, I'm more worried what kind of DRM what the l...
Several years back a game crack site that I usually go to said that it can't guarantee that their crack can bypass FADE at all. The cracks can bypass the CD-check DRM but that's only first layer of FADE. After several hours/days playing, FADE kicks in and things start to get weird.
If they have dumbed down features only as extras (like the Arena in the Witcher 2) alongside the regular/core features then I won't mind. That would only mean more stuff for us to play with.
