Bioshock with Ivan. The Unreal 3 engine is so dated it's not even funny and it reeeeeally shows in this game. The whole "time thing" is pretty lame, too. Ohhhh! I can turn a box from old to new! Then get...Ammo!

Linear as all hell, doors in abandoned buildings close behind you for no reason which sucks becaue you will be at an upgrade machine, see an upgrade box in the hall, go get it and turn around to a locked door. WTF?

The AI is horrible! They get stuck on boxes, corners I even walked right up on the side of one and he didn;t even know I was there.

Raven pretty much takes your hand and walks your through the whole game, too. The biggest puzzle was take a "old" box and put it under a door then "make it new" with your device so when it forms it lifts the door up to get under. Seriously, that's it.

The few boss fights are so easy you don't die once.

Sorry to slam on this game but I was so excited for it then I got it Gameflyed and beat it (on normal mode) in 5.5 hours.

Just same old corridor after corridor and enemies just suck. Textures are non existent. Unreal 3 gave us good times but it is time to put it to bed.

JumpNPlayBon5469d ago

Most of what you said IS true, but the game is still fun to play though. I would have been mad had I payed full price for it, but since I didn't it's nice summer fun. I suggest for everyone for a nice price drop, but most will enjoy the game for what it is, and not for what it isn't.

I can tell this game didn't have a huge budget, so I don't get why people think it's going to have UC or GOW graphics. Or the smartest AI. It's not. But the graphics are still decent and the monsters are interesting.

Bottom line, if gamers are looking for a FUN game that doesn't require a lot of FPS skill, pick it up. But if they are a hardcore FPS gamer and all they play are competitive shooters, they might want to pass and wait for the next FPS that the media hypes up...

Blaze9295469d ago

might pick this one up - looks average though

JasonXE5469d ago

Yeah it reminds me of Wolfenstein and Metro 2033

Blaze9295469d ago

78.85% on gamerankings and 76 on metacritic isn't too bad

BeOneWithTheGun5469d ago

Is way more advanced than this game, amigo. If you had to pick one go for Metro.

Downtown boogey5469d ago (Edited 5469d ago )

I'm sure there are better games you haven't bought. And even cheaper.

SeanRL5469d ago (Edited 5469d ago )

Activision game, not buying it.

EDIT: Whoever just disagreed with me sucks Bobby Kotick's dick.

Blacktric5469d ago

Hahahha at least someone can talk about the truth towards hater stealth disagreers.

SeanRL5469d ago (Edited 5469d ago )

haha, I ain't afraid of no stealth trolls.

Edit: I love how we both got stealth trolled

ChronoJoe5469d ago

Activision had barely any input in this game. An individual boycott, is stupid if it were something you wanted to play.

But I'm sure you didn't, in the first place right? So you're just trolling yourself? Probably why you got disagrees.

Either, you're trolling, or you're an idiot and not buying a game you'd like to play, just to 'spite' a company that really doesn't give a shit.

AridSpider5469d ago

doesn't look that bad. I'll wait for a price drop though I could get a free copy of Prototype if I get it now...hmmm

Inside_out5469d ago

Is that deal still on??? I remember hearing about that. The video looks AWESOME BTW. Terrific atmosphere and graphics. Metro was a great surprise as well. Definitely looking into this game.

Capdastaro5469d ago

I rented it, was pretty good... But steer clear of the multiplayer, its awful!

RyuCloudStrife5469d ago

looks cool ill buy it for the ps3, for some reason the beginning there reminded me a lil about metal of honor rising sun

Although the late 2000s Turok wasn't my favorite, I would love a new entry. Open world survival with shotguns and dinosaurs. Not sure how we'd get the fusion cannon, but that would be pretty sweet too.

MadLad1025d ago

Lol

All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.

Venoxn4g1024d ago (Edited 1024d ago )

XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games

gurp425d ago

I played them all, they are all good in their own way
I used to be obsessed with FPS games

Six Activision Games I’d Like to See Revived Under Microsoft

As the world reels from the shockwaves of the seismic news that Microsoft is acquiring the proverbial swamp of the video-game landscape, Activision Blizzard King, it only seems natural that our minds should now shift towards what the fallout will be for presumably years if not decades to come.

Another Prototype would be awesome.

As for Singularity, I don't necessarily need a sequel, I just want to see Raven be able to flex their creative muscle again; not just be relegated to assisting with CoD. A lot of the old guard is still with the company.

That's part of what I'm hoping to see come from this acquisition. Revive teams like Vicarious Visions and Ravem to actually allow them to work on their own new projects again.

Crows901254d ago

As great as that would be the deal wont finalize until end of fiscal year 2023. Until after that date MS wont really have a say as to where resources will be spent. So we wont realistically see anything until perhaps 2026 or later.

LWOGaming1253d ago

I think that’s a point that so many people are missing. Things will not change this year or next year at all. Maybe some changes might be apparent in 2024 but 2025/2026 is a good estimate of when things will really start happening. And I don’t think we will see as big a set of changes as some are suggesting.

TallDarknWavy1254d ago

Those teams having not worked on anything, the employees find jobs at other companies, they don't just remain unemployed till someone at the publisher decides to revive the team, they need to eat lol

That said, this list of games makes me unexcited for anything outside of CoD that Activision has to offer. All games are in stale genres, like Guitar Hero, Simpsons Hit and Run, these are long surpassed genres that are going to be difficult to revive.

gamer78041254d ago

I want to see new IPs. Not a bunch of forced renovations of old franchises.

Gamer751254d ago

Why not a combination of both

gamer78041254d ago

@gamer75 if it is a combination it has to have my seal of approval. Such as a new Warcraft game or a new Warcraft mmo, or an action game based off the night elves orcs and humans if it’s a new IP. I’ll let you know after I talk with Microsoft

King_Noctis1254d ago

Man I’ve been waiting for Protoype since the last one. Protoype could seriously be MS’ answer to Infamous (freaking loved that game as well, hope Sony make a new one soon).

porkChop1254d ago

I'd love to see Raven take another crack at Heretic and Hexen.

MadLad1254d ago

That's one I see being tossed around a lot to bring back, even if not from Raven themselves.

Put so many hours into those games over the years.

I'd like to see Activision get the Transformers license again and continue the War and Fall of Cybertron games. the movie games were crap and the game that combined both movie and Fall and War of Cybertron sucked a new Prototype would also be good as well.

jaymacx1254d ago

You deserve a 1000 likes haha 😂. It’s a shame High Moon didn’t get to continue making Transformers. If they got a decent budget i think most of us TF fans would be excited.

wolf5811253d ago (Edited 1253d ago )

Ms bought Activision and everybody dancing for what? For cod? Ms want to atleast earn some money Back from those 70 billion dollars.... The only thing they count on is more gamepass subscribers via Activision cod, diablo and over watch 2 1st Day free at gamepass. If they decide to make them exclusive to xbox they Will lose profit from ps4 and 5 sales. As For a New ip or an existing ip like over watch 3,diablo 5 or anything else like a New transformers Dont you think that developers need at least 3 years to Do something decent?
Anyway my opinion is that ms want to make videogaming Just a subscription a la netflix and that ps5 will beat xboxsx in sales like ps4 beat xbox and xbox one x..... All the money ms spending It Will defentily make more gamepass subscribers as for games we all must wait at least 3 more years... And thats why ps5 will get ahead in sales they have more AAA in the pipeline already plus lets see their answer for gamepass... P. S i Dont support subscriptions from neither company and i didnt buy switch plus for n64. If they give me the option to buy n64 games then yes i Will buy them but i am not paying for a rental.
