Aliens : CM
Survarium
Metro : last light
Bioshock Infinite
Batman Arkham xxx (whatever it will be)
Half-L.. oh who am I kidding.
Aliens:CM will probably end up being very disappointing for me because it looks like a very standard CoD style fps set in the Aliens universe rather than a tactical squad based based fps. We will see I guess. The "press X to survive alien attack" bullshit can fuck right off... meh.
Survarium and Metro are obvious choices. More tasty post-disaster soviet wastelands to explore :) Metro 2033 had its share of issues but it was one hell of an atmospheric game.
Bioshock infinite just looks fun. The combat reminds me of quake quite a lot. Lots of fast movement and broad range of weapons.
I'm hoping for a new Batman game, Arkham city was excellent however I think I enjoyed Asylum slightly more. Hard to say why, probably a better story in the 2nd half.
Half-Li...hahahahahahahah yeah right.
Yeah Did Consider ACM But...

...it looked like ass in the trailer.
Ooooh Metro looked cool in the trailer I saw and 2033 sounded pretty good, nice choice.
And Yeah, Bioshock Infinite.

Totally reminds me of Quake. It's like Q1.5 almost. I hope Irrational got clearance from iD or have a good anti-plagarism lawyer.
DAFUK???

"We're not just fighting for the human race, we're fighting for the title of baddest motherfuckers in the galaxy - that's a fight I intend to win"
The writers probably take Starship Troopers and the Colbert report at face value.

is it just me or do the graphics look pretty dated in that video? it looks a lot like chronicles of riddick.
Yup
Thought the same, necros.
Craptop Games.

Thanks for the recommendations. Played 6 hours or so of Torchlight 2 on various train journeys this weekend, definitely helped to pass the time. The style of the game definitely suits the laptop (even though I had to turn graphics settings down and my craptop doesn't allow anti-aliasing on it JAGGY YUCK), lots of dicking around with inventories, simple left and right clicking (my tiny mouse is a bit annoying tho), and classicly addictive time-sink RPG bollox. As far as the game goes, it's nothing special, mostly standard stuff (although as an Engineer with a fucking big cannon and a pet bulldog, it does have some character), but good at what it does, and pretty much exactly the sort of thing I was after (albeit a bit cartoony).

Yeah I thought the graphics looked a bit dated as well. Could be just the low quality trailer and the fact the whole thing is fast paced action scenes. Show some motherfucker scenery from the planet. It better not be all steel corridors.
Gearbox though, so must be good.

Unf.

Like typical xbox stuff. The graphics are a bit dated, but more than that the animation looks pretty crude..
The aliens in the films move like lightning fast mercury, here they look more like stop motion. The marines as well look pretty wooden.
The formula for the gameplay has been done quite a bit, (in the same series, and by others like Natural Selection)so should be pretty solid.
And Now

Was just about to post that Daz, damn right, it looks very cool, the whole style and theme is really intriguing. Even tho it looks scripted to fuckery....could just be the trailer tho. Either way....excited.
#6255 posted by Spiney on 2013/02/01 21:45:01
the scriptedness is a major turn off for me also.
I have friends who love that kind of stuff, I just feel like a rat in some experiment. You know, like daily life...
#6256 posted by Spiney on 2013/02/01 21:46:27
( then again, it certainly scores major points for breaking out of the typical FPS rut )

I quite liked the scripted sequence in the first one where that guy challenges to break your conditioning, but you don't.
Nicely illustrated a plot point, and without any quicktime in sight.

those were nice... except the sheep look like they were from Hexen2 with some normal maps stuck onto them.
Fuck

I know it's passe to whine about bloom and lens flare but it's hard to resist in this case. Post processing has finally gone full retard, they've put anamorphic flares on a fantasy setting RPG. That town looks like a fucking Rihanna video.
I'd like to have an opinion on the engine / art assets but I literally can't see either.
