Could Be Good, #1
(video game / movie preview)
I think we have probably all heard about this game already. it looks similar to the Conflict: desert storm games we played 10 years ago. After reading the preview about the game it seems like this game is really focused around multiplayer, which is exactly what we all want. heres a quote from one of the writeups.
"rebuilding the series from the ground up, focusing on story, four-player co-op gameplay".
Sounds banging, right?
the flashpoint series is supposed to be a much more realistic simulation of combat than call of duty or other series. But their first game, Dragon rising, was a little too realistic. It didnt have any HUD or options to make it easier for non-hardcore gamers. In red river, they allow different options so you can adjust your level of realism, so you can have hud or aim assist, basically play it as a real combat simulation or just have fun.
Also, they completely did away with online versus multiplayer and instead focused on making different online coop game modes. So there is a full coop story mode as well as coop survival, rescue, and escort missions.
I'm interested to see what the reviews say for this game when game informer gets a hold of it.
the character customization seems cool as well, there are 4 different classes with different specialties. you get experience points from playing levels as well as skill points that can be added to different attributes. there are unlockable weapons, gear, and perks. the preview also said you could spend skill points to upgrade your AI teammates, yeah, def not doing that
The only problem I see with the game is that it is 4-player coop, so when we have more than 4 somebody is off the team.
here are the links of the previews i read, it appears this game isn't coming out until april or may
Getting it. This game will probably be similar to Borderlands co-op....which I thought was great.
ReplyDeleteI guess I won't be running & gunning in this. :-(
it actually said that one of things you can put skill points into is your sprint. might have to let the rest of us give cover as you run into the base to plant the bomb.
ReplyDeleteThat was my specialty in MW2.
ReplyDeleteGame should definately be good. You can't argue with a 4 player co-op game. If the game play is half decent it will be worth it and our squad always has a great strategy to wooping the game.
