New gears of war video

What's "next-gen" gameplay anyways?

A controller that you tilt to move your guy.

It looks boring. FPS really need some innovation, like classes, character advancement, ect. The best we are seeing is improvements in graphics, and on the gameplay side, sometimes we get to play with physics.

And it is very rude to simply call somebody a troll when you disagree with thier pov. Some manners would suit you.

"classes, character advancement, ect".... you mean like Huxley? Huxley is exactly what you are talking about.

#1. this game is still 9-10 minths away from being finished.

#2. you have no idea what the gameplay, story, AI, physics or character development is like.

#3. who says FPS needs innovation... you? 13 million Halo buyers might disagree with you.

#4. it's much to early to say this game isn't innovative

#5. this isn't a FPS, not anymore than splintercell was a FPS.

so you're jumping to conlusions, and basically posting negative comments that have no basis in reality, I call that trolling.

So you are saying the gameplay will change in that time? I'm guessing the core mechanics we see in this video will remain the same. Click to shoot, move mouse to aim. Take cover, maybe throw a grenade. Rinse, repeat. But I'm a glass is half empty kind of guy, I hope you are right.

#3. who says FPS needs innovation... you? 13 million Halo buyers might disagree with you.

So the gameplay *could* change, but even if it doesn't, you have your bases covered. Which is it?

#4. it's much to early to say this game isn't innovative

Hope you're right.

No, I've just been playing games for a long time, and have a realist attitude towards design. You need to step off with your value judgements. I have no problem with discussion, and even somebody challenging my opinion, but to outright try to invalidate a pov with name calling is so childish, and quite beneath the typical conversation at B3D.

I just don't understand how you can dismiss a game that looks this good as "boring" simply because you watched 30 seconds of guy run around, shoot stuff and throw grenades.

I mean it's a war game, what do you expect? How does that translate into crappy gameplay? Or a boring game? I don't make the connection.

Gameplay to me depnds on many things, storyline, game progression, cross-genre elements, AI, physics, multiplayer, as well as things like pure exitment or pacing....none of which I can tell from the video.
