Purkake Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 (edited) So yeah, this is coming out on the 19th in USA and on the 22th in Europe for PS360 and PC. It's got this cool Rocketeer thing going on and it's from the guys who made Crimson Skies. Basically you're a guy with a jetpack in an open world setting and occasionally you fly various aircraft Crimson Skies style. It's kind of consol-y, but might still be pretty fun. I guess the Giant Bomb quicklook gives the best overview of all the different aspects of the game. Edited January 15, 2010 by Purkake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikhailian Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I have been occasionally glancing at that game, but I don't recall hearing it described as open world. Although I would still facepalm if it weren't, as that would be too awesome not to do. But for all of us, there will come a point where it does matter, and it's gonna be like having a miniature suit-head shoving sticks up your butt all the time. - Tigranes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purkake Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 It's not open world like GTA where you can go everywhere, but there are certainly open areas with multiple objectives that you can tackle in whatever order and using the method of your choice.

Wrath of Dagon Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I tried the demo but couldn't get the hang of the flight controls. It's neither like a plane or TPS, I don't know what it is. It would be better if they just had jumping between levels and may be hovering a bit, instead of actual flight. "Moral indignation is a standard strategy for endowing the idiot with dignity."

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Not Crimson Skies 3, therefore it is worthless. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purkake Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 You're not going to get Crimson Skies 3. This is a different game from the same developers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaftan Barlast Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Is that the game that was hyped for "vertical combat" ?

Hell Kitty Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 (edited) Is that the game that was hyped for "vertical combat" ? I thought that was released a year ago Perhaps you're thinking of Damnation? Anyway, I really liked Crimson Skies, but this doesn't interest me. I watched some of that video and it reminded me of the Iron Man demo I played once upon a time. Which is not something I cared to be reminded of.

Purkake Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) Giant Bomb gave it three out of five stars. Also after playing the demo, I'm not really exited about this anymore, just another crappy Capcom PC port.

deganawida Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I didn't enjoy the demo when it came out for PS3 a couple of weeks ago. At the time, I thought that it was simply too short to get an accurate feel for the mechanics of flight and of combat. However, reviews like this one suggest that it it may not be length of the demo that gave me that impression, but that the game is, basically, crap. That's a bit disappointing, as I loved the idea of essentially being the Rocketeer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
