Yeah it looks much better then it was looking before, this video actually made me think for a second, maybe this could be really good.

-But I have learned from Bioshock Infinite not to buy single player games, no matter how good it looks - the value is just not there for me, after I beat the campaign the game is worthless to me..

They are never really that good that I end up playing it again, only time that has happened is on really good games like -(anything Naughty Dog, uncharted, the last of us)

but it is looking pretty good, looks much better then what they showed before.. I had wrote the game off after seeing those other videos.. -but this one was really good, game looks nice..

But why is the absence of a multiplayer portion any reason to miss out on a phenomenal single player?

Crazyglues3911d ago (Edited 3911d ago )

@ MidnytRain

It's a very good quesion..

And for me, I can't say for anyone else, but for me the main reason is because These companies are saying they are putting extra work into the single player to make it awesome, and they are not it's the same single player..

The last of us was more awesome then bioshocks single player and it had multi-player...

so when a game company says we are making an amazing single player I take that to mean its going to be epic, really long really cool stuff you would not normally get in a single player.. but it's not.

It's just an excuse for them not to bother making multi.. which for me is just an Epic Fail..

(Like when a game company says we don't have cockpit view because the system can't do it, but yet it's in so many other games) Come on' that's a cop out BS story, believe that if you want, but I'm not going to pay same price for a game with less features..

Nothing about Bioshock was so amazing that I thought to my self wow, this is an epic single player... it was the same game just lacking multi.. so really you got ripped.

Last of us was just as amazing and it had Multi-player which was really good, if they could do it.. surely they could have too..

I think gamers views have changed and they expect epic games or your sales will be weak... go hard or go home..

awesome I love this series of game!!!!

GUYwhoPLAYSvideoGAME3911d ago

looks like it will have awesome mechanics and things, personally though, and this says nothing about the game, that gore with the neck cutting and stuff was a little much for me

A Step Into the Virtual World with Omni

This year at QuakeCon 2013 is about Anthony's third time going into virtual reality gaming as he goes into Half Life 2 and this is definitely the best experience Anthony has had with it. Never before have you been able to actually fully represent your real world actions and have it displayed in a game all in real time. Gamer's News Network would also like to note that this was on a prototype version and not the retail version to be given out to backers or customers so there are still tweaks to the platform and ring that will be made. The Omni also isn’t the only thing required to have this experience it was with the assistance of Microsoft’s Kinect with the Nyko Zoom add-on paired with the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset. The Kinect will track your motion and send signals to the game that you’re moving and the tracks on the Omni’s platform designate the direction and the harness positions you upright so that you don’t fall over or slip in the low friction tracks and finally the Rift is used to aim.

Cool idea, but I've tried playing games while on the treadmill and using a controller is a nightmare. Though I suppose one wouldn't be running around constantly in most games either....but with the right peripheral it could work out. Neato.

GmrsNewsNetwork3916d ago

Yeah I don't see this working very well with a normal controller. When I used this I had a gun peripheral which made it more intuitive. I didn't try it, but I imagine the Razer Hyrda would be phenomenal with this. Also in first person shooters it might be more time spent crouched and under cover than anything.

Yeah its tough to say how this will be received. Still cool but I am pretty sure I wouldn't want this piece of kit clogging up my home, not to mention the vids of this thing in use are ridiculous/hilarious, but thats beside the point. The harness? HAHA "Its chaffin' my fellows something fierce" .
I'll just stick with the Oculus Rift.
