It's an FPS released after the year 2004.

Hmmm, Crysis... STALKER... Half Life 2 Episode 2... Bioshock... Modern Warfare... TimeShift... Medal of Honor Airborne... there's some good in there, for sure.

I think my main point was the cynicism started as soon as the Xbox started taking PC exclusives away.

Your list has some merits, mainly Stalker and Crysis, but you talk as if this cynicism hadn't a reason to be, when the list is full of games on quality of Doom, Duke Nukem 3d, Blood , Heretic, Quake, Hexen, return to Castle Wolfenstein, Jedi Knight, Jedi outcast, Dark Forces then you can say people that expect a modern FPS to be shit are crazy, right now, there isn't anything ridiculous in assuming a modern game is just a shitty Modern Warfare rip off. Nowdays, if you want a single player shooter, good luck, that is the only reason I'm paying any attention to this.

These games are not post 2007

(I guess some of the Stalker games are)

He was saying there was still some good through 2007. I was listing 2007 stuff.

Oh I see, carry on then.

It's an important step in the evolution of the industry. Soon they will start selling boxes of overpriced crap for games that don't even exist.

I'm sure they'd find a lot of customers on the Codex since so many people here have box fetishes. 'Unnnnghhh reaaaaal cloth maaaaap!" *FAP* *FAP* *FAP*

 

[Lyric Suite]

The only legitimate fetish to have is for large manuals.

 

[Jaedar]

I still have some very slight hope this might be good. Wolfenstein 2009 was deceptively good after all.

Not sure if this has been posted before -- a long article on the history of Starbreeze, Riddick and MachineGames:

I replayed Riddick (Butcher Bay and Dark Athena) yesterday. Those games are so good compared to the bland FPS these days.

Well, after horse armor dlc where do you go? Gotta keep raising the bar, man.

 

[Metro]

The game itself is the DLC.

 

[Luzur]

from the comments on Kotaku.

The game is releasing on 5 different platforms. This way they don't have to create 5 unique versions or worry about how many of each version to produce. Smart idea IMO.

These "people" deserve all the shafting they get.

Beth sure knows how to make nice trailers. The nicer the trailer, the shittier the game?

 

[Darth Roxor]

Oh great, they are making Deathshead into a generic crazy scientist, how exciting.

also EVERYTHANG HAS GOEN TO SHIT, indeed it fucking has. Please tell me more in your VISCERAL ACSHUN WHISPERS

meanwhile

 

[Haba]

Niggers? Not in my Berlin!

 

[Stereotypical Villain]

What a piece of fucking propaganda bullshit this is. Seriously. Burn it in a fire- oh wait... gas it first.

First off... awful cover of Nowhere to Run. And wtf is going on? So when exactly is this game set? An alternate timeline 1960's if the Nazis had won? Seen it in Fatherland or read it in Man in the High Castle. And how do they get 21st+ century tech into the 1960's? Or is this game actually set in the 21st century... but then... how is that kooky doctor still alive? WTF is going on here?

 

[sexbad?]

It's the 1960s.
Wolfenstein Nazis already had cybernetic augmentation in the 40s, so I don't see the problem with all this futuristic stuff considering how ridiculous Wolfenstein already is.

 

[Darth Slaughter]

Soccer is not that different from that the first scene.

Well going from a few dudes with metal and chain guns grafted on to them to vertibirds and cybernetic attack robots we don't even have in 2014 seems a bit of a leap for 20ish years.

I wouldn't mind seeing mandatory executions for diving at least.

We have dudes with metal and chainguns grafted onto them now?

 

[Metro]

No, but that's mostly due to ethical concerns. I'm sure it's possible now and probably has been for awhile.

We'd have all that and more, had the Reich won.

Think about that, race traitor.

 

[DalekFlay]

Wolfenstein has always been about crazy shit for the time frame (or reality). I fail to see how that is anything near a valid complaint.

 

[Metro]

You fail to see it 'cuz you're just perpetually butthurt at me. Some wacky steampunk cyborgs is one thing, this shit just pushes technology ahead a good six or seven decades.
