Call of Juarez: Bound of Blood

    So it's sure that Call of Juarez: Bound of Blood will be avaliable on PC/X360/PS3 this year.

    Ubisoft has just revealed that it will be publishing a prequel to the Western-themed first-person shooter Call of Juarez. Call of Juarez: Bound In Blood will arrive later this year for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.


    Bound in Blood takes players from the Civil War era George to Aztec ruins in Mexico. The game allows you to control both of the McCall brothers, one of whom was also a playable character in the original Juarez. As with the first game, Bound in Blood is being developed by Polish studio Techland.


    "Call of Juarez was well received by gamers and critics,” said Tony Key, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Ubisoft. "We're confident this new collaboration with Techland will bring an even bigger and better adventure to fans of shooters and the lawless Wild West.”

    I loved the first one! Really, really, really loved... back in the time when I played it, I was really in need of something refreshing!

    Plus, the graphics were breath taking! and they still hold up quite nicely nowadays, It's still quite playable as well.

    I also remeber the AI was the best there was at the time, the enemies always tried to flank you, many of the times succeeding! Therefor making this game really hard and challenging...

    Just googled for some screenshots: (CoJ1 screenshots folowing, not Call of Juarez: Bound of Blood)

    It still holds up pretty fucking well! I wanna play it again now... Damn you seir! :roll:

    If you didn't play COJ1 wait for the new one, it's a prequel so after playing the COJ:BB one and switching to old COJ1 you'll continue the story.

    Edit:

    [HP], yeah, COJ1 was really nice in 2006/07 but it had big system requirements.

    I played the first one and have mixed feelings. You can really spot a number of mistakes, and the game is not so consistent in everything it does. Some levels feel like a 4 year old put them together in a weekend, others are great. You can spot first timer mistakes, and it is as if some parts were rushed.

    Still it is fairly original and has a nice feeling. It is certainly not a bad game.

    Depends though, often prequels are designed to be experienced after their predecessors — an obvious example being Metal Gear Solid 3. I wouldn't hold off playing CoJ if you have the itch.

    Funnily enough I just played through the first one a couple of weeks ago. It wasn't amazing or anything, but it was definitely decent, and it gripped me enough that I played through start to finish in just a few days. I'll most likely pick up this new one too.

    I'll always have a somewhat negative association to Call of Juarez, since my 2nd 360 broke down on it (DVD drive spun to bits).

    I liked it though, but it always like it didn't embrace the theme quite as much as I'd like. In a lot of ways I bet you could easily change the time period and it would still feel more or less the same. In my opinion there's still not been a truly great wild west themed game, and to be honest then it feels completely grotesque that someone hasn't made a sand box styled on with great production values (Don't mention Gun, I said great production values).

    Anyway, with all that said then I did enjoy Call of Juarez, and I might try this new one as well, but I'd prefer if there were no stealth missions in this one. I just want me some firefights

    Now now Mazy, we can't forget the first and best.

    Don't get me wrong, I love Outlaws, but it just doesn't do it quite good enough as a wild west game tbh. I want GTA with horses, and lots of different landscape, lots of sidequests, interesting stuff to explore. In essence what Gun tried to do, but just with good production values and a world that feels big and real. Gun felt like big rooms with cliffs, which had doors connecting them.

    i gotta say i agree somewhat here, i really liked the open spacing in gun. i think the biggest problem is that you can't really confine desert or badlands with anything but cliffs. gun did perhaps what was the closest we'll get to what you want from a western game, and i think they did it well. there was suspense and adventure in that game if you let the immersion grab you by the leg and pull you in. i still haven't completed it due to a crash and no autosave feature late in the game, which put me off from playing it. perhaps i should give it another go.

    GUN borrowed a lot from Red Dead Revolver, but left the terrible design choices. There just wasn't anything to do once you'd beaten it, and the world was very small.

    I just want a Western game without the cliches. No pa-avenging, no half Indian protagonist, no Wild Wild West stuff.
