ITT people trying to be contraversal and shit on the just because.
I really would love know what some of you expected, gameplay wise.
Its guys with guns because guys with guns sell. Have a problem with that? Look in the Mirror :- its your fault.
The order would have the budget it has or the visuals it does if it wasn't a shooter with pretty common elements.
Seriously, where's the gameplay showing destruction/exploration.
I guess they are counting on gaming media to fill in with previews, but yeah. What's wrong with lengthy gameplay clips?
Looks like a movie with game play more than game play with some cinematics.
Love Gears of War and this game is IMO the next step in terms of a Gears-like game any time soon.
what part of the graphics are rough?
honestly
do you think this game would run on ps3/360?
I was only talking about the typical shooter type gun controlled characters you play as in various games. its pretty hard to do anything better than what has already been done with the current controller setup.
But obviously its possible, and we should expect gameplay to be fresh, but not all games NEED to be innovative here, it still works great if the gameplay is sort of the same as in another game. Just look at uncharted and The last of us, they didnt do anything new gameplay wise, they just told the story amazingly well, set up the scenes very well and gave us a visual experience like never before.
and can a fantastical third-person shooter still be relevant in this age?
YES YES YES
The graphics were all over the place from impressive to rough. Not much new gameplay shown but what they did show was incredibly bland. Coming off of this reveal I have zero hype for this game. This game seems be trying to sell itself primarily on just graphics, when the graphics themselves aren't worth it and that's a flawed idea to begin with.
These people give us blue balls for a year and this is the shit they show?
I always thought showing gameplay at an actual gaming event such as E3 made so much more sense. Why show a gameplay trailer now and spunk your load (sorry) when you can really hit a home run at E3 when the world is watching.
Heck i remember being shown the epic gameplay "trailer" from the Last of Us E3 2012 by a friend of mine who isn't really into gaming, obviously I'd already seen it by the time he showed me, but it just went to show that these events are more memorable and reach a larger audience.
RAD are geniuses to keep this moment in the player's control.
Just because it's cinematic doesn't mean it needs to wrench control from the player's hands.
