As a member of the pre-alpha test who has logged in many hours, I can say that you really need to play it before you say anything. If marketed right and a playable MP demo comes out a month/week before release, this can be up there with Halo, CoD, and KZ
What are you talking about, Bungie and ND pretty much sleep with eachother lol, they are all great friends. Honestly I wouldnt be shocked if I saw their studios merge in the future.
Its a tie between Valve and Blizzard, though I do think of Valve as the Pixar of PC games.
the test is still going :D
No people that saw the gameplay videos can stop bitching lol. Seriously though the game is a blast, it takes things from CoD and Halo, improves apon them sarcastically and makes it its own, and here is the real important part....its FUN! I havent had this much fun with a FPS since Halo CE. Not saying other shooters are bad but this is just FUN
Im sure they will some time down the line.
ND and Bungie love each others games, they have a really good friend ship. I really hope one day they merge studios :)
Ok before I say what im going to say
-I tried Kinect out at E3
-I own all system (PC, 360, PS3, Wii)
Ok now let me say that Kinect is a casual device for the time being (Steel Battalion) but is it still fun? The answer is yes. Now in the long run isnt that what really matters, playing something to just have fun? Now will I play with Kinect all the time? No, its staying up in my living room and being touched 2 times a week or more thats it. This is bei...
I would be happy if all games had support like this game does, its completely different then how it started off as and just keeps getting better with each patch. Personally I want to see more maps do this Boss thing, its actually really cool to have both sides work together for a minute or two to take out the Boss before you go right back into the action.
This whole mini-boss concept is actually really kick ass!
You are looking at OFF SCREEN footage.
MLAA on 360 would be pretty sweet.
Stop trolling.
Well after the guy who made FF left and made Lost Odyssey (you might as well consider that a real FF game) SE went down hill. Right now Mist Walker and Level 5 remind me of the old Square Soft.
You REALLY dont think they are also testing out the engine as well?
granted yes you where right about it being for the servers but still they could have waited till the engine was stable to do a server test too, its obvious they are testing more than that.
This is NOT a beta, this is a stress test, they are seeing how much they can do on the 360. This is just to get an idea of what they have to cut back on to make the game preform a constant 30 FPS because right now its pulling about 25, I had a game where the audio randomly cut out and everyone had a constant frame rate of 30-35 FPS. Yet even though its an alpha this game is fucking incredible, the gameplay designers really knew what they where doing.
EDIT: Ok disagree for sta...
Actually its an alpha we are stress testing the engine so they purposly overloaded certin things to see just how much the 360 could handle. I personally LOVE this game I always get 20+ kills a game with the SCAR, this game is just soooooo much fun.
Well said.
I really do recommend any FPS fan to get this game though, it takes ques from a lot of other FPS game but blends them together in a seamless and original experience. Even in its alpha stage (the stress test) this game is just a blast of fresh air in the FPS genre.
They are using the $250 base Squier!
