Deadly_Nightshade Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Well, seeing as it will be released this week and, at least formally, there was some interest in the game, I thought I would make this topic to discuss Velvet Assassin. Is anyone else planning on buying it? Has there been any word about what DRM will be used (I haven't heard anything)? "Geez.

Wrath of Dagon Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I'll buy it if it gets good reviews and the feedback is generally positive. Anyone heard of a demo?

Kaftan Barlast Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 (edited) Some friends of mine played it at a convention, they claimed it was sub-par but I dont know if I trust their taste in games. edit: I just read its a German game.

Deadly_Nightshade Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 Some friends of mine played it at a convention, they claimed it was sub-par... Most likely that was the alpha and, yeah, that had more than a few things to tweak. Still, it sounds like it's a lot better now. "Geez.

Kaftan Barlast Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Asked my friend and apparently it was a beta build, so feature complete but with some bugs to get rid of and a bit of tweaking. But what kind of german game is this? Is it a local thing meant for mostly german players thats being exported, or is it a proper game meant for the international market?

Aristes Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I don't understand. Are German games bad? I'm being honest, here, Kaftan, you yutz, so give me a straight answer. Anyhow, I figured I'd get Velvet Assassin because it's a stealth FPS and I tend to buy those when I see them. A demo could be nice, but I'll probably buy it as long as it doesn't have universally terrible reviews. ...And, by reviews, I mean word of mouth here. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgoth Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Velvet Assassin has almost been as long in development as DNF. I remember back in 1999 when I saw first gameplay footage (formely known as Sabotage). It was a FPS with some stylish cutscenes and such. Now, ten years later, it gets released finally. But I won't give it a chance if there's no demo, as the team has been unproven, and it just reeks after Splinter Cell in WW2. Rain makes everything better.

Kaftan Barlast Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I don't understand. Are German games bad? I'm being honest, here, Kaftan, you yutz, so give me a straight answer. German developers generally have a very different approach to how a game is designed, and german gamers also seem to have very different taste. This along with lower budgets, leads to games that people outside of germany find awkward and unplayable. But this isnt a problem for them, as there are enough german players buying these games to keep the developers afloat. Germany is a very inbred place gamewise, german games for german people.

Pidesco Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 As far I know The Settlers 2 was a German game for German people, and it's one of the most awesome games in the history of forever and ever.

Bos_hybrid Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 (edited) Gothic 2 was German, so good games can come from there. But then so did Drakensang..... Edited April 29, 2009 by Bos_hybrid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadly_Nightshade Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share Posted April 29, 2009 And I should have a copy either tomorrow or Thursday and since no-one else has it yet, not sure when it's coming out on Steam but it should be soon, I guess I'll be Guinea Pig number one.

Deadly_Nightshade Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 Well I have my copy and I am installing it via Steam (it turns out that the retail version is still linked to Steam unless you're from Russia and then it has Starforce) and will have the first impressions up soon.

HoonDing Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Heh, I might still get this game, no matter the review. I was looking forward to it as I'm a huge WWII history buff. Heck, I played Frank Herbert's Dune which got horribly reviews everywhere, but I still managed to finish it (even moderately enjoy it) despite the game's problems simply because I'm a huge Dune fan. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
