It sounded great until i reached this line:
"City Interactive - they'd be the Sniper: Ghost Warrior"
"City Interactive - they'd be the Sniper: Ghost Warrior"
Yes, and all games City Interactive have released so far. Just look at this: http://www.metacritic.com/company/city-interactive?page=1 If all their games had received a proper rating (and not even all of their games are listed, because they pump out mediocre titles every month) it would look even worse.Kahunaburger said:
So yeah, I sincerely hope that City Interactive's involvement in this project won't be much else than the guy taking out the garbage from the office at the end of the day.
It's on PC, of course it wasn't pre-rendered, it doesn't need to be(In all seriousness, it isn't pre-rendered).mad825 said:
Regardless, it's not like it's a particularly pretty game by the looks of it (very good by console standards, maybe, but merely average by PC standards).
Also, the studio is formed of Veterans of these companies. It's unlikely that any of them made any of the previous games on their own, so the studio name is irrelevant. It could be the worst people from CDPR, PCF and the best from CI, we don't know
If it takes it's FPS gameplay from Painkiller, it's graphics and story from The Witcher 2, he probably shouldn't hate it. Then again, if Yahtzee has taught me anything, it's that optimism is always a bad idea.TheDarkEricDraven said:
This doesn't sound particularly cyberpunk to me. It sounds like a Terminator retread. The Matrix had some cyberpunk elements, but even it doesn't quite fit the bill, since human civilization was utterly destroyed and hanging on in little pockets. It was post-cyberpunk, if anything, but really more just a particularly awesome take on post-apoc. I'm not even sure where Painkiller fits in, as fun as it was, it doesn't go along at all.
You need teeming billions, technoshock, huge urban wastelands that ring the glittering fortresses of the privileged and constant reminders of the stark contrast between the haves and the have-nots. The poor don't necessarily starve or go homeless in a cyberpunk future, but they're corralled in stinking tenements and fed foodpaste, while the wealthy and powerful are godlike immortals. The adventures take place in the spaces between these worlds.
A cyberpunk shooter would be, well, it would be Deus Ex.

Yeah, I'm stoked. If it's anything like Painkiller but with a cyber-punk twist, I might aswell crown this my game of the year already. To hell with Portal 2 and Battlefield 3.
Awesome awesome awesome!!!
There is some drooling going on over here right now
PC exclusive... Cherry on top

Wow, now that was an emmotional rollercoaster ride.
First i get stoked with the words cyberpunk (very under used genre, both in games, movies and books imo), then i get punched with shooter (not my favorite genre) sending me plunging towards the ground, then i get stoked up from invoking Blade Runner, plumetting me towards the sky with story potential unseen since Deus Ex, unimpressed (but not put of) with Matrix and left totally clueless with painkiller (never played), and finally hit in the face with the recycled plot of matrix (or possible terminator minus time travel shenanigans).
What started as an exciting headline shooting me into the sky ended up with an article that left me lying in the ditch, unharmed, but somewhat disoriented and unable to know how to feel about this game.
Still, exclusive to PC? Yes please, we get too many console games as is (nothing wrong with consoles, but enforced multi platforming leaves individual platforms strengths under utiliced imo), this game seems like it's worth a second look when closer to launch and more info is available.

It looks a bit... too serious.
Games like these are usually in a serious need of some blatant "Laugh at this" point, or they get too heavy and any little out of character silliness just destroys the mood.
Even God of War had the whole blatant sexuality thing to break the seriousness in a way that still fit the universe.

OK, fine. Keep it PC exclusive. You just have to promise the console gamers that, if its a good game, you'll help make enough sales for them to make a Console port, OK?nyysjan said:

OT: A PC exclusive game made by the Painkiller, Bulletstorm & The Witcher guys... with a dystopian cyberpunk setting... already set for September 2011?
Sign me the hell up.
A nice lineup it may be...
But all this attention to 28 seconds of... what did I see?
Let's hold off on any commentary untill I see a bit more. :\

Hm. Releasing in September, and at a budget price? Color me cautiously optimistic.
That said, they probably should rethink their release date. If Deus Ex delivers even half of what it's promising, anything in the same genre is going to suffer for a while.
Not that I'm complaining. Cyberpunk is my favorite genre, by far... like the user name didn't give that away.

If their goal was to get me excited about this game, then this trailer failed.
Show me a trailer with the stunning visuals of a neon-infused Blade Runner world, add in the original weapons and fun game-play of Painkiller, then top it off with the intricate story line and bullet-time mode from The Matrix.
Now that would be a game I'd pre-order.
