Wanted Trailer Reveals Max Payne Influence

This game demo was really, really fun. Maybe it was because I expected it to such horribly but it turns out that I'm probably gonna buy it and tear through the story a few times because it looks genuinely fun. Not a lot of added bullshit, just a nice take on the GoW cover system that allows you to chain together movements and sweet as hell bullet-curving topped off with sensational slow-mo that's implemented different from other games "refillable-bar-of-power" that you can use anywhere.

When I heard him talking about square and triangle buttons, I think I died a little on the inside.
I really miss the golden age of computer gaming.

hole hell look at the size of that guy's head

The demo is pretty forgettable.

I don't mind games that most people say look too grey, but this is ridiculous. People said, call of duty 4 looked to brown, I didn't mind. People said Gears of War

Games have thrown around slow mo so much, that they've forgotten how much of a crutch it is. Sure, they've integrated it into the cover mechanism, but what happens? You advance from cover to cover, pop out and kill everyone effortlessly. And the satisfaction here is..?

Moreover, they've taken a a very promising mechanic from the movie, the bullet curving. Now, something that was associated with an elite level of skill in the movie can be pulled off as easily as using a crosshair. How about if.. you know.. like in the movie, we actually had to move the gun to curve the bullet ourselves? Obviously, it's just a game, and they can't expect you to spend weeks learning things like they did in the movie, but the human element definitely seems to be in short supply here.

I hate to say this, but it seems like games are putting more focus on giving you candy without you doing any work... And that takes out all the satisfaction... When you see your character take out someone in a kick ass, john woo hand to hand combat scene, you know that you, as the player had nothing to do with it. Games are also becoming more filmic in their presentation, and while this is a good thing in many ways (frankly, it's evolutionary) it also seems to have made games less interactive and more passive.

Unique ability? ha!

haha

Well... the melee part looked neat.

The games really, really, really, really, fucking shite!

this looks pretty terrible.

It's Ass Assin' Time!
