@newtboy, this is actually running on a fairly low-spec pc (around the same as an xbone or ps4).

But yeah, this is similar to the deus ex video I posted a while back,
*related=http://videosift.com/video/Deus-Ex-Human-Revolution-Unreal-4-demo

One small area with great attention paid to lighting and detail with no mechanics or animation.

@jmd, agreed the trees weren't great, but not all games are about open worlds and dynamic events. Look at COD. Very linear, incredibly scripted.

The fundamental problem with AAA games is the cost to create content. I think we're going to ultimately see some blend of procedural and hand created content as the way forward, where the designers build a layout for gameplay and a procedural engine fleshes out the visual details.

@Payback

I pretty much think it's the perfect casual FPS.

Similar to how nades aren't abusive, I think it's one of the few shooters where snipers are not blatantly overpowered. Most characters need several body shots to kill and some need several headshots when Medic buffed.

The class variety is also tremendous, and there's a significant skill ceiling to playing most characters beyond the usual FPS reactions. Knowing how to decloak and approach as spy, or perfecting rocket jumping is something way beyond what most modern shooters like CoD require.

Hats have never really bothered me. What has slightly is that it's become impossible to get access to most weapons without paying because of the sheer quantity.

Having said that, this really only kicks when you have 60-70% and the odds stack against you of finding the rest. It's not really a balance issue either as while there are definitely 'optimal' choices (say gunboats for soldier), none are anywhere near game breaking. Where they are (say, soldier's equalizer), they're usually rebalanced.

"They feared players would become dependant on grenades and spam them."

You mean like CoD?

@Payback

Oh I have no doubt it will be just as conservative as every other CoD since. I'm curious if those hover bikes actually get into multiplayer, but I doubt it. I haven't bought a CoD since CoD4 and have no plans to.

There's certainly an expectation that they'll try something new, because with Titanfall's mech combat, the CoD model looks very stale.

But just seeing the graphics and realising they still haven't built a new engine is probably the best indicator that they'll keep riding the money train to gravy town.

@VoodooV 5 grand? That's just the cost of the gpus! The whole rig came out at over 10k. And yeah, it's ridiculous, but it's meant to be. It's the Bugatti Veyron of gaming pcs, it's more about seeing what's possible than being actually useful.

@lucky760 I still play heaps of TF2 and it's still pretty popular. The CoD MW guys have moved on to whatever the latest CoD is.

@serosmeg, I played the beta. I have an old Amd quad core and a hd6950 gpu. Neither are close to top of the line these days and the game ran fine.

Damn that looks fucking fun. I wish I had time to play games.

I'm so behind in the times when it comes to gaming I have no idea what games are out there now. When I was last playing I was obsessed with TF2 and CoD Modern Warfare. Do people still play those?

Didn't they have evil demons and robots and whatever during ww2 in this universe? Pretty sure I remember fighting demons in RTCW.

Anyway, I guess they'd establish small garrisons and use local enforcers or something.

This all looks a bit CoD to me, and not the good parts, the MW3 parts.

Exactly what do you propose they should have tested? Do you seriously think the console should be able to understand the semantics of natural language (i.e. tell the difference between "xbox, sign out" and "xbox sign out is trolling me")?

I used to do a similar thing in university. We did a lot of work on VAX machines. Because there were a limited number of terminals, once you signed out, you were locked out for 30 mins.

When I needed a terminal I'd say to first year students, "hey remember logo? They just installed it." Student would then type "logo" at the command prompt, which the os would automatically lengthen to "logout".... oh, you're done with that terminal? thanks

Once again, I am horrified at the number of pre-teen kids playing CoD online.
Parenting fail.

What is it about CoD that makes multiplayer so toxic?

I play plenty of online games, but CoD is the only one where I've ever been called a "nigger fag".

upvote for the dogpunch. Such a blatant F-U to CoD.

Parents - Please don't let your kids play CoD
Everybody else - Please don't let your loved ones and friends play CoD.

10 year old playing COD on Xbox live? Parenting fail... seriously.

Also... "how old are you?" "10" "that is so fucked up"... really? I mean, I'm the last person to be throwing stones, but maybe moderate your language just a bit?

Unpopular opinion incoming!

First, full disclaimer: I am not a game developer, but I do write software for a living I'd prefer to be paid (and paid well) for my skills.

Ok, here's the thing. Sorry, but not your stuff. You didn't make it and you don't own it. You own a licence to use it. End of.

I know I'm in the minority here, but I believe not only is a certain amount of DRM acceptable, it's actually unfortunately necessary. I am possibly crazy, but I believe in paying the fucking writer.

Now DRM as it stands is fucking bullshit. *I* paid to watch this motherfucking movie. *i* paid to play this fucking game. Every time you cunts force me sit through a fucking anti -piracy message, it makes me more inclined to pirate your fucking content.

And I don't want to. If I'm buying your game/movie/book, I've already decided your artistic output is worth my time and energy that I put into working. Fuck it, I could have stayed at home and learned to play drums. I've wanted to do that for years, but I don't have the fucking TIME! So you get my time/work/energy.

How fucking dare you waste my precious free time on your sanctimonious fucking ads targeting the very people who don't give a shit about your message, and who, by some perverse twist of natural justice, don't have to put up with your bullshit.

That said.....

"wah, I don't like your DRM" is not a valid excuse to pirate content. If you don't like the way company X distributes your favourite book/game/movie/tv show.... don't consume that content.

No, seriously, (and I'm well aware I'm going to engender a lot of hate for this) if you feel you are entitled to the fruits of someone else's hard work because you don't agree with how it's distributed, then seriously, fuck you. Yeah, I'm not kidding. I don't care if it's WB or HBO or EA or whatever undeniably fucking idiotic big media conglomerate. At some point, a bunch of hard working, talented people created something you want to consume.

PAY THOSE FUCKING PEOPLE.

Or find another way to let those creators know you want their content but not as it's currently available.

If it's awesome, find a way to let them know. If it's shit, don't consume it.

So back to games and drm and copying.

It boils down to this. Buy the games you want. Support the people who are working their arses off because they love what their doing. If you think the new COD is shit (and you're in good company), then don't buy it, don't pirate it and for the love of FSM, don't play it. Your time is valuable. Buy a cheap PC and play FTL or Monaco or Fez or Walking Dead or Mark of the Ninja.... all great games, none of which need a "next gen" (aka 3 or 4 gens ago on the pc) console. Hell, go kickstart Star Citizen.

Fuck it, this is now so long I don't know where or why or how I started.*

Pay the people who make the things you love. They deserve it. They'll make more cool shit. Don't borrow it, don't pirate it. Just, pay them. They get fuck all enough as it is.

* kids! don't write posts drunk after midnight on Saturday after watching the All Blacks crush the French! You will write unpopular opinions and most likely excommunicate yourself from online communities you enjoy!
