fire looked nice, but for me, it was too boring from a gameplay perspective.

[Damon Bennet]

been there, done that?

dont know, seems like what jade raymond was talking about. lifeless and boring shooters.

[ArachosiA 78]

Does anybody find it annoying how characters are constantly holding their guns up in FPS? This looks so awkward, running through a burning building with your gun pointed forward.

I do...it looks especially odd in this game because the protagonist is constantly talking.

[Phinor]

Well that was a boring clip and not even very impressive visually. Fifteen seconds of fire in the open in Far Cry 2 was far more impressive than anything in this 3min+ video.

Show us some proper open world gameplay!

[Vulcano's assistant]

no smoke?

[-SD-]

- Uninspiring gameplay.
- Modified CryENGINE is looking really nice in indoor scenes.
- Good voice acting.

[op_ivy]

if this was UE4 there would be smoke.

[ViewtifulJC]

if this was UE4 there would be smoke.

NEXT-GEN SMOKE, op_ivy. $499 consoles!

[StoppedInTracks]

Wow, every single thing was scripted there.

[Tesseract]

from farcry 2 to this. what a shame.

[Darkkn]

From bold FC2 to THIS!? Clint Hocking is not amused.

[JB1981]

don't like how he's making wise cracks "not that way" like he's Nathan Drake inside a burning building and his wife/girlfriend/whatever is about to die.

seems that putting out fires/burning buildings is the new hotness. the graphics are really nice though (great lighting) and i like how expressive her face is. you can see how scared she is .

[Ramblin]

from farcry 2 to this. what a shame.

Agreed. You can have your shiny graphics back if I can't have them without scripts.

[legacyzero]

- Uninspiring gameplay. - Modified CryENGINE is looking really nice in indoor scenes. - Good voice acting.

I agree.

This must be from early in the game. I dont mind a bit of structured pacing, but looking back at the E3 demo footage, and the Dr Earnhardt trailer and how open and awesome they were.

This seems like a bit of story telling that got a bit too much story telling.

[cluxdeluxe]

I didn't know you could play uncharted 3 in first person.

[Metal-Geo]

Distant character shading is still as ugly as in Far Cry 2.

[Jibbajabbawockky]

That burning house video does one thing I've come to hate in so many games: toss in superfluous dialogue to point out the obvious:

"HEY! Look at that water! It puts out fire! Hey! A door! I'll break through it because I'm on a totally linear path and have no where else to go! Hey! I'm in a burning building but I'll point out that there is fire everywhere! Hey! I'm in a burning building, I can't take anymore of this heat!"

Seriously dude, you're in a burning fucking building. There is probably a lot of smoke. Shut the hell up.

[Neuromancer]

Wow that looked terrible in so many different ways.

-talky, obnoxious protagonist
-'cinematic moments' completely taking control of the game out of the players hand for extended periods of time
-scripted linear route through building, looks boring and nothing we haven't seen a hundred times before

You know what I think I'll stick with FC2 if the whole game is going to be like this. Ubisoft needs to wow me with a more sandbox or open world type video if they want me to buy this thing.

[Himself]

Haha. Looks like an Uncharted FPS Burning Chateau mod with less gameplay somehow.

[Synless]

Voice acting is believable, animations are believable. Why is everything in this game so damn believable?

Is this sarcasm? It has to be.

[WrikaWrek]

The door exploded.

[FunkyPajamas]

The first transition from dark room to open/illuminated room looked like shit. Like the lighting was scripted instead of the HDR goodness we've come to expect in games.

Not impressed to be honest.

[Derrick01]

He blew up a door with a knife.

[Neuromancer]

Does anybody find it annoying how characters are constantly holding their guns up in FPS? This looks so awkward, running through a burning building with your gun pointed forward.

My wife said the same thing when we watched the video. I guess I'm so used to FPS's I didn't really notice.

[FunkyPajamas]

Watched it all. What a poorly scripted scene. The building crumbling at the right time and the pursuers coming out of... where? Were they just standing by the building waiting for the guys to steal the car to start running?

My wife said the same thing when we watched the video. I guess I'm so used to FPS's I didn't really notice.

I thought about that as well. Does your wife have a sister?

[shinobi602]

Looks excellent. Can't wait to run this beast on my PC.

[Conor 419]

Game looks incredible, does anyone know if the fire mechanics are similar to FC2?

[Neuromancer]

Watched it all. What a poorly scripted scene. The building crumbling at the right time and the pursuers coming out of... where? Were they just standing by the building waiting for the guys to steal the car to start running?

Yep. I was like, where the fuck did those guys come from all of a sudden. So dumb.

[FunkyPajamas]

Also, is it me or did the protagonist sound like North trying to channel a 20 year old? (or maybe the other way around)

[RooMHM]

This was awful. Also, good voice acting? Are you kidding me?

[Derrick01]

Game looks incredible, does anyone know if the fire mechanics are similar to FC2?

This is the most important question and I haven't been able to get an answer out of anyone for months. What good is a jungle if I can't light it on fire?

[Router]

A scripted scene.... oh no this game is clearly shit.

People obviously forget just how shitty FC2 was. The only good thing was the fire propagation.

[DR3AM]

they call this gameplay? lol

[jett]

it has been done

[Dynamite Shikoku]

Awful

[blame space]

"I can't believe there's running water in this place."

they're ruining it aren't they

[wolfmat]

The girl is gonna die right

[McLovin]

Fire looks great but it doesn't have uncharted level detail. Like the burning wallpaper from the uc3 burning chateau level.

[Derrick01]

A scripted scene.... oh no this game is clearly shit. People obviously forget just how shitty FC2 was. The only good thing was the fire propagation.

Maybe people forgot because it wasn't shitty to begin with. It was 2 small but annoying problems away from being one of the greatest games of all time.

[Xanadu]

fucking hate these movie games

[cameron]

If someone told me this was a parody video, like BulletStorm's Duty Calls, I would have believed them.

Graphics do look nice in certain areas, though.

[Ryuuga]

Is this sarcasm? It has to be.

Even my post was believable!

[legacyzero]

Maybe people forgot because it wasn't shitty to begin with. It was 2 small but annoying problems away from being one of the greatest games of all time.

Yeah, some really bad design choices held FC2 back from being fully enjoyable. But as long as you approach the game with that expectation, it really is an impressive game at it's core.

[JacksUsername]

Does anybody find it annoying how characters are constantly holding their guns up in FPS? This looks so awkward, running through a burning building with your gun pointed forward.

That's all I could think when watching the video - takes you completely out of any immersion they try to create.

[mysticwhip]

well, that was boring

[wolfmat]

Far Cry 2 was fully enjoyable, you just had to deal with the respawning dudes from a distance, take your time, and cheat the weapon degradation because that was bullshit. Everything else was a fine game. Grenade launcher jeep on a hill, shooting a village to shit, can't beat that.

[torontoml]

Is any of this worth making into a gif? I'm at work and videos don't work here.

[Blizniak]

This is definitely not what I want from a sequel to FC2.

[Ken Masters]

no smoke?

Then you can't see the pretty fire

[Gareth Bale]

Yeah that looked boring as hell.

"Jason help me!"
"I'm coming!"
COUGH COUGH COUGH
*Game tells you to shoot valves*
*shoots valves*
*scripted linear platforming section*
"Jason help me!"
COUGH COUGH COUGH
*scripted linear save girl sequence*

I can't imagine how much work went into making something so boring.
