Looks like it'd be a good game. I think it'll be worth the buy when it comes out.

Discuss.

The parkour style is something rarely visited by games (Assassin's Creed is sort of parkour), I like the look of the main character and the distinctive art style; not too convinced about how good it will turn out to be.

I don't think it'll be anything special, but should be praised for one of EA's new original games.

I wouldn't call DICE, EA.

I am getting that when it is released definetly. There is no other game like it.

I would, hope you like 30 versions of Battlefield Caterpie, because you're about to get close to one of mine.

I hate Battlefield but DICE aren't dictated by EA.

That's like saying Maxis are a separate company now!

But Maxis are still unique in a way, like DICE.

Combat system looks flawed tbh. That and I'm sorry you can't make jumps like that without breaking your legs. Why the fuck do you think Parkour guys roll after every big jump. Good realism.

by **James** » Fri Aug 22, 08 4:30 pm

But Maxxxx, you're in a video game.

Something tells me they weren't aiming for realism.

by **Spiderbot01** » Fri Aug 22, 08 5:51 pm

Then whats the point of it? Everything else seems to be an attempt at realism.

IT WILL STILL BE A FUN GAME ME THINKS.

When she went down that waterfall and survived I turned off the video

I don't recall a waterfall.

Me neither. Must be on another video.

If Lara Croft and Altier (Assassians Creed) had a male baby he'd be that dude from Uncharted: Drakes Fortune.

Different video

But...but...what about Battlefield Heroes?!

by **James** » Sat Nov 01, 08 6:53 pm

Battlefield Heroes will be the best in the series, but its a P2P item spree to be the best.

Played it on PS3 & it's a pretty good game.

"Pros"
Excellent atmosphere, good graphics and no lags
Good controls setup even for a controller-noob like me
Exciting & captivating gameplay

"Cons"
So many tidy skyscrapers and so few people inside and on the streets, wtf?
They could've added some rain maybe? It can't be sunny all the time!
I was a little bit confused about the story, it could've been more developed
At some moments I had to look into YouTube walkthroughs because I didn't get what I had to do

Tried this a couple of times with my PC. Runs great. I have to note that the gameplay experience is much better with a big screen and a good rig, because that makes it feel more authentic.

I played it on an X360 with a 42" HDTV, then tried it on my PC with a 21.5".

Made no difference to me, except the controls.

On a related note, Mirrors Edge was bad

On a slightly related note The Battlefield Heroes beta is fun but nothing compared to the original Battlefields.
