Millennium on 15 August 2008

Storyline: a space marine fights aliens. Verdict: GENERIC

Graphics: Same old bloom-ridden gray. Verdict: GENERIC

Features: Hiding behind objects is considered a great and innovative feature. Verdict: GENERIC

More Features: The destructibility gimmick. Verdict: GENERIC

Weapons: A melee weapon, a shotgun, a gun that shoots rapidly, an explodey weapon that bounces, an explodey weapon that flies, a highly-accurate weapon with very fast bullets but a low fire rate, and a BFG. Verdict: GENERIC



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.

They even went as far as saying the game did not have certain gameplay aspects that everyone knew were already in-game and even demostrated in videos on their own website, lol.

Thats the point where I stopped taking this guy seriously.

It is also hysterical how he claims that being a scifi game is unique, unlike WW2 or modern day shooters.

It is unique. Name another Sci-Fi game that is based in reality where there are no lasers or energy swords.

Features do not make a good game.

A good game is one that does what it is supposed to do, and well.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

I meant to say non-realistic weapons (which resistance has plenty of).

If it's gonna be like this, would you mind defining "based in reality"?

Can someone pitch an idea for a non-generic FPS that uses weapons that shoot something and has some sort of vehicles? KZ isn't going to re-invent anything, but it looks like its going to have its own feel / look / dynamics (and probably be very very good at what it does..and be FUN )

I still think KZ2 looks incredibly promising.... its still men with guns killing other men with guns, but so was / is / will be every FPS....

Sure it can. Just look at Fallout 3. That is based in 1950's Washington DC (Also known as reality) but it is also a science Fiction game.
