Another on rails shooter, how exciting.



lol uncharted is on rails? lmfao uncharted has the most engaging gameplay i've probably ever played in a game a mixture of climbing, use of cover, rolling, shimmying etc... disliking the game does not mean that you have to make up nonsensical claims about it

In his defense, idt he even dislikes Uncharted. He stated in an earlier thread Uncharted 3 might get him to buy a 3D tv. I'm not saying the "on rails" comment wasn't an incorrect statement, but idt he's just trying to hate.

LMAO!!!!!! HAHAHAH

OT: Looks awesome, cannot wait. Someone has to get on to making the official thread soon.

Looks like this game will not only have the mechanics but the atmosphere of the first game which is great as I didn't enjoy R2 as it felt very generic.

what the? >_> I think you have no clue what on rails mean. I think the word you're looking for is linear. and frankly I don't care, what's important is they have created one hell of a atmosphere with this one! looks way better than R2

That segment with the boat auto-moving is essentially on-rails.

And most modern shooters are practically on-rails because they're not only completely linear in level design, they're also so directed, scripted, cinematic and cut-scened to the maximum, to the extent that the game plays pretty much by itself. You just hold a controller and push some buttons as an excuse for it to be called playing a game.

Playing Call of Duty, Uncharted or Gears of War is more like watching a movie than playing a game.


facepalm

dude again what you are describing IS linear gameplay, not on rails. go and check star wars kinect or deadspace extraction if you want an example of what on-rails is.

It's true many games are following the cinematic route, and I for one love it, as long as it's done right. a game DOES follow a script, this is not an RPG or something or HR type of game with multiple endings. it's a FPS.

anywho sounds like this is not the type of game you would like, avoid all R3, UC3, COD MW3, Gears 3 threads. if you want to discuss what on rails is vs linear, go ahead and make a thread on it

 

*facepalm*. I know the formal definition of what on-rails is.

But you don't understand how games have evolved (in a bad way) and restricted the player movement and interactivity to such a minimum that it resembles on-rails. "Linear" is not a too strong word anymore to describe the directed theme park joy-ride that is Uncharted and Call of Duty and most other modern shooters.

In the shooter world Medal of Honor started this phenomenon and Call of Duty refined it.

I have to wonder why it matters so much? Sounds like you aren't interested, which is fine, but why drag the point into the ground? Many don't agree with you (myself included), but it's not going to get anywhere when it continues to derail the thread.

I have to defend why i called it on-rails instead of linear.

(and I'm pretty sure I'm extending the life of the thread since it would be buried by now anyway)
