New Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway Trailer

I gave up on this series when a guy hiding behind a rock couldn't be killed by a well aimed shot, even if I could see his head, knees, shoulders and arms plain as day. The game thought he was behind cover, so everything got blocked. Lame gameplay never sold me.

Insert obligatory "Soggybagel hates Brothers in Arms" post. Actually I'm going to give this game a shot, but something that I have always thought was completely ham-fisted, trite, and so fucking cheesy and fake was the "emotional" slant to the Brothers in Arms games. I mean its been a fucking joke. The slow motion cut scenes that focus on the "horror" of war where some guy you don't give two shits about starts freaking out about his dead comrade. Its all bunk.

The problem is in particular the emotional attatchment they try to create with the characters is not good. The game is not particularly good at making you care about the characters especially in previous editions where they could "die" but then next cut scene they are alive and well.

Now this game could be different, this could be a whole new experience that takes it to the next level. Just going off of old games at this point.

I think they should get over themselves until they figure out lip-syncing. Although bad kung-fu movie dubs do make me emotional...

dude, spoilers.
