Whoa those are a little surprising. The environments need *A LOT* of work though.

 

[Hardknock]

Yeah it looks like an upgraded Xbox version, instead of the PC version. Did they both play the same pretty much?

Not at all. Commanders and Squads provide a whole different dynamic to the PC game. Not to mention support up to 64 players. This port is pretty disappointing in that respect, but as expected for EA.

 

[Nesh]

How many games a la COD, Ghost Reckon, Counter Strike do we need?

I am kind of dissapointed by the amount of this games that are being highly anticipated.What about other different quality games?

Ive got a higher end PC and these models look better than the PC version. Does the xbox version look better than PC as well?

Not bad for people who cant afford a higher end gaming PC to run it becuase it really does require a high spec machine to play it anywhere this level of visual quality.

24 players is a little low, 32 would have been ideal. I never play 64 on the PC becuase it really ends up being a clusterf**k imo.

 

[AlNom]

Looks good to me. I just hope for a stable framerate and better still if they don't have memory leaks.

 

[expletive]

I actually like this one best.

Like Ghost Recon? Did you read this part?

[groper]

wow , this looks alot better even from a 7800gtx pc.
If these screens are true and not photoshop faked -because with EA you never know- then i think that it could be the best 360 port to date.

 

[Nesh]

You missed my point

 

[Qroach]

You missed my point

you don't have a point.

 

[London Geezer]

you don't have a point.

Course he does. I'm also quite tired of the same war/guerrilla/3rd person games coming out all the bloody time. The fact that the games happen to play slightly differently from each other is another issue. How many war/anti-terror/rocket-launcher games do we need, when most of them hardly even have a story?! Ghost Recoon, SOCOM, Battlehere, Warthere... they pretty much look the same, the point of the games are all pretty much the same... Don't see the point.

It's basically like having all these stupid football games no one really wants cause we all know PES is all we really need.

At least Splinter Cell and MGS differentiate from each other by having different stories...

Like all the games on bloody WW2... How many of those do we need?! It's so boring!


Oh and before you start telling me i'm only saying this cause i'm a fangirl, the above is valid for ALL platforms.

From my POV war games are but a fraction of the number of racing games! But I'd say most games aren't really needed. I'd prefer less quantity, higher quality. same as I want of TV. Unfortunately the rest of the world seems to think otherwise. 200 mostly cheesey low-quality channels with hideous compression artefacts is chosen over a possible dozen highquality channels with quality, diverse programming rendered at the best possible image quality. Apparently it's better to give people of choice of a million different crap options than limit them to only a few good options.

Makes you proud to be British!

Have you played the last gen version? I think this looks miles better.

no, i honestly think complaining about too many of a certain type of game, when there's so few games or so many games, is a bloddy waste of time and pointless. If you don't like them, don't buy them and pipe down I say. I mean I can understand somone complaining about "bad" games, but when it's a good game, why bother?

In the states these games have been for the most part reviewed with high scores and have sold very well. So in NA at least thats why we'll see a steady stream of these types of games until the genre/theme is beaten to a bloody pulp.

In all fairness though i think we're at the point with games where the 80/20 rule is starting to kick in. Thats 80% of the games types/themes out there could be 'covered by 20% of them, the rest are just knock-offs. Youve got the entire FPS family, the rts family, the platformer family, the rpg/mmorpg family, then you apply different skins to each of those. Theres just not much left to do with gaming until someone breaks the mold.

SO i agree with what youre saying here but i do think we're picking on this genre unfairly...
