So is everyone gonna guzzle down R*'s kool-aid again? Doesn't look as great as the trailer desperately wants me to think.
What is the issue?
The animation on display here is extremely impressive (right up there with Uncharted 2 and 3 and, in some ways, even better) and the level of detail is pretty decent. The game LOOKS really nice.
It's difficult to say how well it will turn out, but at this point, I believe they will deliver something better than Remedy could have.
I'm not the largest R* fan, but they typically DO deliver. Red Dead was loved by most and GTAIV was still a very solid experience. I enjoyed LA Noire, despite its issues, but the fact that it was even finished and turned out reasonably solid is a small miracle. I'm much more excited about MP3 over anything else they've done recently simply because it's a focused action game rather than a sandbox title (the likes of which I've grown tired of).
Looks amazing. But guess what? So did LA Noire in those trailers..
That's unfair. LA Noire was a very troubled project that was in development for far too long by a team that was falling apart. Considering it's history it's hard not to be impressed. The game, at its core, was pretty well done but it went on for too long and became tedious. It was NOT a bad game at all.
This, on the other hand, is a straight up action shooter from a team that has no relation to Team Bondi. Why even draw that comparison? The two have nothing to do with one another.
