News: Totalbiscuit Night Ops Footage!

[CardiffGreens]

Well, loved the video - my excitement for it was only surpassed this morning after I forwarded the video on to my brother - he then texted me back with his plans to go off and buy a new PC to play it on =D

The jump pads reminded me of ut2004 straightaway - I'm still undecided whether I like that or not - but when I did play ut2k4 onslaught I was doing it thinking "it's not as good as PS!".

But apart from that there wasn't anything I wasn't really in love with (Even the in-your-face, flight interface) =D

Yes, well of various lengths of time... most are no longer playing.


ps the 'bf crap' comment was perhaps a little ott ...... but the overall sentiment is similar to what is often posted on these forums, and people are excited by what the devs are doing but not without reservation on some aspects.

The latest allusion on the forums was to Tribes.....

What? Because of the jumppads?

Great footage and the lighting effects are beautiful!

Looking forward to the game more now from just seeing this, and I'm not a pilot as I suck when using aircraft so cant wait to blow some up with my AA MAX

NC looking badass as ever

Don't get it? Are you saying because they're not currently subbed their opinion is invalid? I doubt you are but it sounds like it.

Yes and jumpjet light assault (potentially).

In general folk see things that worked perfectly well in PS being dropped for stuff that sounds like a backward step. It often gets called modernisation but in fact it isn't, it's following a convention which is good when it's good but not good when it's not.

Some of you guys have some raging BF3 hard ons. Tons of FPS games have similar things in common. I wish everyone would stop comparing things to BF3 or COD, this game doesnt even come close to either of those games. The only thing it has in common is its a shooter thats pretty much it. They didnt invent the killcam, the slowknife/quickknife, tribes didnt invent jump pads. Just take it at face value. Also just cuz it might be similar to some other shooters doesnt mean its going to be as horrible as them i.e. COD/BF3.

They are doing a brilliant job with PS2, the game is going to be amazing i cant wait for beta. been waiting a long time for this game.

Regarding battlefield.

Please remember there was a time where it had a lot of things right.
BF2142 was a downscaled, rebalanced and prettier version of Planetside.
No harm in learning from the competition as long as you take back lessons and not just chunks of their systems.

This second clip shows the Planetside similarities well (especially if you pretend that instead of shooting the terminals they are hacking them for players to pull MAX suits with, and the genroom's similar to an amp station control console).

Are you saying to SOE: "if you're going to take inspiration from BF, take it from 2142, not BF3", I say that's exactly what they should do and you're right.

Well I think we've found something that most of us can agree on.

I am also on the train of BF2142 superiority. Hail!

[sylphaen]

Agreed with BF2142. However, I hated and still hate its vehicle mechanics along with a few other "minor" things that frustrated me immensely.
