A well-made sandbox game is probably my favorite kind of game. :3 On June 05 2012 15:54 Xapti wrote: The game itself seems like it could be OK, even if I hate the conceptual scenario. Well actually I said that halfway through the video. The second half seems kinda dumb — pretty shallow action, just like Assassin's Creed. Why was the guy just randomly shot at out of nowhere? Any game that seems to put so much emphasis on graphics and sound and padding makes me leary though. I'm all-for a game with a great environmental effect of immersion, but multi-millions of dollars spent on art and voiceovers isn't necessary to do that. In my opinion that's what made Dragon Age Origins crappy in a sense. I think it could have been a whole lot better if more resources was actually spent on improving the story, extending the gameplay, and maybe making combat more interesting or something. I dunno, I feel like the backstory and setup won't make the action shallow. The guy was probably shot at out of nowhere because said media mogul probably had tons of cronies backing him up, doubt he'd just travel alone... imho this game will have everything (graphics, sound, storyline, ui, controls, plot, what have you), but as everyone else as been saying, it remains to be seen what the end product will be like. There's honestly not that much you can do with 3rd person combat anymore without making it really gimmicky, and I didn't think the combat scheme was particularly bad at all. | ||

They have a decent track record? How? They released a shitty expansion, Relevations just for milking, and like 4 other "mini games" to consoles and handheld devices. Assassins Creed II didn't fix the problems with the first game in the franchise. Far too simplistic and repetitive game-play, restricting, economy made no sense whatsoever. The 'plot' feels more like a way to drag the player in, there was no real progress in either of the games. Ubisoft Montreal have good (read many) level designers, but the rest of it feels just recycled over and over from the first game, which wasn't that amazing even back then. | ||

The second thing is that the game seems heavily scripted. Of course, we can't know what's actually scripted, and we can assume that just because the initial gameplay trailer is heavily scripted, the full game won't be, but yeah. The part where he saves a civilian from the car just feels weird, when would you do that in a game and how does that work dynamically? "If player is in a firefight and tries to take a car with people in it, he will tell them to run instead"... ok. Another surprising thing was how the security is "on him" to stop him from leaving, but he just runs up to a guy, beats his face in and leaves. What happened to the other guards? | ||

What we'll end up with is an approximation that will be "good enough" for most people but will essentially be a prettier GTA. | ||

To add to that: LET'S GO BACK TO SPLINTER CELL'S ROOTS Fucking junk. | ||

How many other games can you do that? In games like Splinter Cell or Hitman you could use subterfuge to approach and eliminate your target without putting civilians at risk. Made much more sense than random mayhem on a busy street. This seems very "unprofessional". Who's the main character? Some self-proclaimed tech-savvy vigilante who doesn't give a shit about the law or bystanders as long as he gets what he wants? A member of some super-secret government agency that does black-ops in public? Sorry, this trailer didn't spark much of my interest. I was hyped for Syndicate before that, which was a total failure. I don't believe I would enjoy this title (as much as I loved Splinter Cell and Hitman series, GTA ended on 2 for me and I seriously hate every single one from III onwards).

Brothers in Arms Assassins creed series (yea if their intent was milking they succeeded) I only purchased 1 and 2. Beyond Good and Evil Far Cry series Myst Prince of persia series Ray Man Ghost Recon Rainbow Six Splinter Cell They have a ton more titles that most would consider garbage but so do alot of companies. Thats all you need is a handful of titles people like its true with most game companies. Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo have all released their share of junk. I can't think of 1 company that released all AAA titles outside of maybe Blizzard, | ||

I don't see the shooter's motive to seemingly shoot a random civilian. | ||

People where looking at him asking why he is here so on and so forth. He seems to have some kind of reputation. Like the girl in the club who's phone he hacked she talked about him as if he knew who he was, so she called her boss the media mogul. The guards knew who he was also he had to create a distraction to get into the club otherwise they probably wouldn't have let him in. | ||

They have 26 different game studios that work for them. For example, Ubisoft Toronto was established in 2009 and they are releasing their first game, Splinter Cell: Blacklist, in 2013. It's not like every game with the Ubisoft logo comes from the same developers. There are loads of developers that have released nothing but AAA titles other than Blizzard. Valve and ArenaNET also immediately come to mind. Not to mention Blizzard has released their fair share of non-AAA titles over the years: Justice League Task Force The Death and Return of Superman Shanghai II: Dragon's Eye Dvorak on Typing Lexi-Cross MicroLeague Baseball Castles J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Vol. I Battle Chess II: Chinese Chess Battle Chess Plus you have to realize Blizzard only has a mere three franchises. The only way they can make a non-AAA game is to make a new IP, which they haven't done in over a decade. You can't really rag on other companies for not releasing 100% blockbuster titles when Blizzard doesn't even put effort into anything that isn't an already-established brand. PS - I hope this game doesn't disappoint. The trailer makes it look both good and bad, depending on how forced the scenarios are. | ||

In a press release, Creative Director at Ubisoft Jonathan Morin says, "Watch Dogs goes beyond the limits of today's open-world games by giving players the ability to control an entire city. In Watch Dogs, anything connected to the city's Central Operating System becomes a weapon. By pushing the boundaries, we can provide players with action and access to information on a scale that's never been seen in a video game before." | ||

I'm still wondering if they showed all of the ways to get rid of the guy or is there even more? I'm seriously excited for this, just discovering various ways of doing things will be fun in on itself. | ||
