  • Splinter Cell: Conviction

    Quote

    Sorry for the hijack, Dark. Good luck with the release!

    Its ok, as this is a great topic to talk about. I also agree that Conviction, MW2, etc should be much longer games, hell Conviction was said to be 12 hours orginally. So I figured at least 8h minimum. I donno if they cut stuff or what, but what I do know is the entire time you play the game all cut scenes are your loading times, therefore there is never a feeling to stop playing. From all of the reviews of the game that I have read on the Conviction forums, people have been engaged from beginning to end and completely satisfied with the experience. Same for COOP.

    5 hour campaign? Why are more and more games coming out with such criminally short single player campaigns?Sorry Dark, this game just went to rental status.

    lol, reviewers need to rush through games in order to get the review out asap. Im sure if u rush, run and gun your way through the entire game, yeah it might be 5 hours. That was also the case with MW2, but being 4 hours long. And MW2 took me 8 hours on hard. It really depends on your playstyle, play stealth and enjoy the core of the game and it will be 8 - 13 hours.

    There is a lot more replay value in this game then you would get from say, Mass Effect 2. There is also a coop campaign which is around 4 - 6 hours depending on play style. Then you will have deniable ops. But like the reviewer said if you are only going in for Singleplayer, its probably not worth getting, but if your going in for the total package, there are many hours to be had.

    Here's a review from someone who has put over 20 hours into the game.

    For those who buy, rent, or borrow Conviction tomorrow or whenever it is available to you, I hope you have fun and enjoy!

  • Modern Warfare: Frozen Crossing

    Quote from skdr

    Amateur or not, they're still using some advanced effects and camera stuff for sure like you said. Why not polish it perfectly and add a grading or correction layer on top of it all? Using advanced effects and clear cuts / camera work is usually something you don't see in amateur films.

    Maybe they need your criticism then. It wont help mentioning it on here Besides color correction doesnt make or break a film. It isnt needed for a good production, it just adds a small piece to the pie. There are many more important aspects to crit about. I thought it was well done for a 200 dollar fan film. I donno about color correction in films.

    At 6:50 one of the dudes was eating snow, he shouldn't do that, you can get worms in your stomach then

    LOL, I have never heard of getting worms from eating snow, at least I never did from all the years living with snow Oh I forgot to mention that apparently the film was created with only spending $200 something.

    I think it could have looked better with some grading and color correction.

    Dude its amateur film lol. There was a great use of camera angles and technical tricks. Also the use of background merging and special effects were very well done.

    They don't know how to manage a marketing campaign at EA/Crytek with their low quality video or what?

    Look at that ass!

  • Arkham Asylum wins Bafta Best Game 2010

    Quote from Bluestrike

    Did not find Arkham Asylum that special, made my way outside and thats where I quit it.

    Yeah, I'm on the same page, great game, but I was looking for a linear experience and not a hub, so I never finished it either. All of the character development was top notch. Just wished I didnt have to keep running back and forth through the same corridors and exteriors all of the time. I would have enjoyed being spoon feed

  • Tom Clancy's Future Soldier

    Quote from D3ads

    Ok... nice trailer and all but...The Russians are the bad guys... AGAIN? and if the US has advanced in technology then why is Russia using pretty much the same equipment they do today... shit they even have Maska helmets on.. they're barely used today since the K6-3 was introduced. Russia have a formidable military unit that is more than upto the task of going up against America's Army... what year is this shit supposed to be?

    America... fuck no, I'm sick of all these boring US army is teh win games.. I want to play a game as a soldier of the PLA.. or something for a change.

    A Russian dev studio needs to make a game where the US are the bad guys.
