mkreku Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 I know im coming out ona limb but... it seems you enjoy shooters.. I love them. As long as they're not linear (like Call of Duty, Gears of War, Halo) and as long as they bring something more to the table. Precursors and White Gold are RPG's at heart but combat is pure FPS (and in the case of Precursors, spaceship combat!). Fallout 3 is supposed to be a RPG too, but who knows how that will turn out. Probably a shooter. Mercenaries 2 and Far Cry 2 are pure shooters, but both drop you in a huge sandbox and let you do your thing. Borderlands is supposed to be a shooter version of Diablo, sort of. We'll see. Stalker is also pure shooter, but the atmosphere is so good I don't even think of them as shooters, more like an experience. Rage is supposed to be racing and shooter, but little is known. Alan Wake is supposed to be a psychological thriller-shooter, but again, little is really known. Dead Island is a horror-shooter, with a free-roaming paradise resort to explore. With zombies. RPB is a RPG. But nothing is known about that game yet, not even the name. Alpha Protocol is shooter-RPG. Gothic 4 is RPG (I hope). Gothic 3 expansion will be RPG. GTA4 (FOR PC) is more of an action adventure.. with racing.. or something. I think the red thread is that I vastly prefer first person view (or third person over-the-shoulder view) in my games. Naturally, that view functions best with FPS combat. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
mkreku Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 Pretty impressive video from Far Cry 2: http://www.eurogamer.net/tv_video.php?playlist_id=12019 It's all about killing people, but still.. it's nice to see them let you use your imagination!

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 I'm really looking forward to E3 this year. Ubisoft has me really excited with FC2, HAWX, Prince of Persia... and of course Alpha Protocol. "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!"
Hurlshort Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 I'm excited for Mercenaries 2, also. It's like GTA in a war zone.

mkreku Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 New Borderlands video! http://ps3.ign.com/dor/objects/957207/bord...emo_071608.html Looks great to me, although it's pretty.. brown and grey.. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
wesley2 Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Far cry 2 looks really cool, but I have to say it seemed like a game with some heart and a real story from the teaser trailer, but now it seems to just be the mindless mayhem game that the first one was. At least there are no Trigens, hunting the mercs with total freedom in the evironment made that game damn impressive. I really loved the first third and last third of that game. But monkey monsters with rocket launchers on their arms....not cool.
Lare Kikkeli Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Diablo 3, nuff said. Fallout 3, wasn't interested in this at all before I saw the E3 video with Todd Howard playing the game. The mini nuke was retarded but otherwise it looked pretty awesome. Sure it was all combat, but looks like they pulled off real time combat while staying true to SPECIAL. Let's hope they've hired some decent writers and more than 2 voice actors this time. Not sure what else...all future NWN2 expansions I guess. And whatever Valve is releasing next.

You know, the Trigens weren't exactly a big part of the Far Cry marketing back then, jungle combat against heavily armed mercs was. There's no guarantee that this game will be completely without woo*. Maybe they just want to keep it secret, is all. *supernatural thingamajigs(ttlg lingo) Edited July 17, 2008 by Musopticon? kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

mkreku Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Actually, the Far Cry 2 producers have mentioned that there will be nothing supernatural in Far Cry 2. I think I even posted that 20 minute long video in this thread.. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 I hope they have better voice actors... and that seems to be the case. Good, no more audio torture. "Alright, I've been thinking.

Hurlshort Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 Woohoo, Gametap is getting the original Fallout next Thursday. I'll definitely be downloading and playing that!
I want teh kotor 3 Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 Diablo 3. Starcraft 2. Soul Calibur 4. Fallout 3. Fable 2. Wacraft 4 (I hope). Gears 2.

Xard Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 Wacraft 4 (I hope). lol How can it be a no ob build. It has PROVEN effective. I dare you to show your builds and I will tear you apart in an arugment about how these builds will won them. - OverPowered Godzilla (OPG)
H Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 Finished DMC 4, and now I long for more cut scene badassery. And, uh... The joke is really getting old, but...
Hell Kitty Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 (edited) Reading all the stuff coming out about Alpha Protocol makes for a tingling sensation in my special places. Edited July 18, 2008 by Hell Kitty
wesley2 Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 I hope they have better voice actors... and that seems to be the case. Good, no more audio torture. Ok cool the last 3 posts have been great. There's really nothing like being able to take out a whole patrol of mercs like Benecio in The Hunted with no one knowing where you are or what's going on...

Musopticon? Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 (edited) 1. Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts 2. Diablo 3 4. Storm of Zehir Yes. I'd venture to add Gears of War 2, NG 2 DLC, Galactrix, DoW ****ing 2, next Yahtzee game, Black Mesa:Source, some Thief fms, particularly La Grenouille Noir, Hinterlands, Prince of Persia 4, Halo prequel fps, Schizoid(today!), Mercenaries 2 definitely, then at least Red Alert 3(Klepacki! Gundam! Bear Rain!) and tentatively Fallout 3. I'll probably end up buying perhaps three of them all, but here's hoping. Edited July 19, 2008 by Musopticon? kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

Lare Kikkeli Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Mirrors Edge looks pretty great. I hope they add a kickass dubstep soundtrack, maybe get Benga or someone to choose the tracks.
