FPS...? how tedious...visuals aren't very impressive either
jambo said:Ex bullfrog staff you say?
Hmmm...
The team is treating the Syndicate name with a huge helping of respect. A number of ex-Bullfrog employees are on board, in senior roles, making sure this remake feels like a proper Syndicate game

yeah i was going to say, in terms of creativity bf3/tor is just following the crowd, although if you're talking about development and marketing costs then hell yeah these games are going to be ambitious.Derrick01 said:Other than the graphics? No I don't see anything too crazy in there. It's still battlefield pretty much.
And ToR is becoming more and more of a WoW clone with each new news story. They'll easily make their money back on the star wars name and all the marketing they'll put in to it.

ZombieSupaStar said:My only hope for a new (insert old pc series here), is for the indie scene to get over the whole "lol retro quirky 2d platform game #1293714" and start making some Fallout/Syndicate/Dungeon Keeper/XCom clones.
edit: i didnt feel anything special from metroid prime when i had it, but then again I never thought metroid was so great back in the day either. :shrug

Nostalgia~4ever said:no shit that it is still battlefield. What a load of BS. Nice trolling.
RedSwirl said:Jesus Christ I thought I was the only one who thought this way. Hey it's nice that people can still develop games in their garages and everything, but I can only play so many 2D platformers, puzzle games, and shmups. At least start making RPGs and adventure games and things like that.
Right. It's the worst kept secret in recent years. We've known about this game for 2 years or so now.PetriP-TNT said:I called this long time ago!

I'm pretty sure this is on Unreal now. Starbreeze abandoned their engine.miladesn said:Starbreeze's engine
No, this is the last game they are using in house tech. They've licensed UE3 for future projects.ezekial45 said:I'm pretty sure this is on Unreal now. Starbreeze abandoned their engine.
I think this is the last game developed on their own engine.ezekial45 said:I'm pretty sure this is on Unreal now. Starbreeze abandoned their engine.

Derrick01 said:How is that trolling? You asked if BF3 isn't ambitious and I said no, it's pretty much the same game we've had before and that just because it has really fancy new graphics that doesn't mean it's really ambitious. Maybe you and I have different views on the word ambitious, but maybe I should just call you a troll and call it a day like you did.
Nostalgia~4ever said:so making a new engine from the ground isnt ambitious at all?
subversus said:it's Starbreeze's old engine albeit heavily modified.
Nostalgia~4ever said:we were talking about BF3 since Derrick didnt think that is an ambitious game.
d1rtn4p said:I posted this in the other thread, but I'm not sure why EA are even calling this Syndicate? It's only doing a disservice. Someone mentioned something about an established franchise, but Syndicate Wars was released nearly two decades ago to a very niche audience; that isn't an established franchise... Also, the people who did play and love the original Syndicate surely aren't going to want to play this game, so I think you're even alienating a portion of your potential audience.
shuyin_ said:@Derrick01: if a game like Battlefield 3 is not ambitious, than few games are. It's actually one of the games with very high aspirations in the MP sector.
I suspect you correlate amitious with innovative, hence the mistake you're making. Sometimes a game doesn't need to innovate. In the case of BF3, tweaking mp gameplay mechanics, adding better physics larger maps and more features is enough. Not that there are no innovations in BF3.
On topic, i am not going to defend this game. Not because i'm in the 'haha fps, EA sucks' camp, but because i defended XCOM in its thread and a herd of people jumped at my throat.
I'll pass judgment after i play it.
