The Club (Demo) Impressions from Kotaku

Kotaku's Luke Plunkett shares his impressions of the The Club demo:

"I'm having a hard time getting my head around The Club. Not because I haven't enjoyed the demo, far from it: I've had a blast. No, I've had a hard time getting my head around it because The Club takes everything you think you know about shooter games, puts them in a box and seals it shut. Then shoots it up. Then sets it on fire.

No, really. Forget everything you've learned about shooters. Forget even their most basic premise: shoot everything that moves as soon as you see it move and before it can shoot you. Forget about pausing behind cover. Forget about exploring a map. Forget fretting over health packs, forget quicksaves, forget cross-level sniping.

Because none of that matters."

might have to get pal account for this does anybody know if this is a multiplat or execlusive??

nirwanda5958d ago

not sure if it's on the PC but it's defiantly 360 bound what the demo like I only have a 360 and don't have access to a PS3

Didn't like the look of it from the vids aiming looked a bit slow and the character looked like it got in the way of the camera but I'd rather tust the opinions of people that have played rather than the look of a vid.

This game is actually really fun,matter of fact the best demo on psn i've played!!!

It took me like 5 mins to make a UK account

Geez, it's definitely one of the bigger downloads (almost 2 gb), but the game looks really good and runs at 60fps without a hitch. I don't really like the control scheme, and turning is really stiff. I don't know about the lasting appeal for a game like this (it's kinda like a 3rd person Time Crisis), but I'd definitely want to check out the full version. The introduction and tutorial was nicely done (in the same fashion as "Snatch")

Skerj5958d ago

HAHA I thought I was going to see Brick Top any minute while playing that game, Gangs of London also had a "Snatch" esque intro. The game reminds me of Outtrigger on Dreamcast, I'll rent it first though to check out its longevity though.

KidMakeshift5958d ago (Edited 5958d ago )

Outtrigger?

Gangs of London is The Getaway PSP game, right?

I'll have to check it out. My dreamcast needs a workout anyhow. I'm sure it's getting sick of playing Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, and Marvel vs Capcom 2

Skerj5958d ago

Outtrigger was a 3rd person arcade shooter that was ported to DC. You pick a handful of characters and an even smaller handful of weapons and duke it out for points and other random things. Crappy quality youtube video attached. Correcto on Gangs of London too, the graphics are superior to GTA and that was about it. I hope they get their crap together for the real Getaway sequel for PS3, because they all suffer the SAME stiff gameplay.

KidMakeshift5958d ago

Thanks

I like the look and setting of the Getaway games, but the gameplay is pretty bad.

I hope The Getaway 3 wasn't canned

Classic Mobile Game Spotlight - The Club Mobile

Zach writes: 'Do you remember a time when mobile gaming wasn’t something you had to be ashamed of, when it wasn’t plagued with microtransactions and billions of cheaply-made ‘granny horror’ and bug-filled Fortnite clones? Back in the mid to late 2000’s, most mobile games were programmed in Java, and were usually linked to bigger console releases.'.

Five Overlooked Last-Gen Games - Pixel Gate

Sean Halliday of Pixel Gate writes:

''For every blockbuster title that garners high praise and sales, there a number of games that fly under the radar. There’s plenty of great titles that have plenty to offer but, for numerous reasons, never get the love and attention they deserve. This isn’t the definitive list of the most overlooked games; it’s merely a look at few of them.''

I'm glad Chinatown Wars is there. This is one of the best GTAs in the series. Right up there with 5 and SA. Get the DS version. You won't be disappointed. Also like to add that the wanted system in GTACTW is by far my favorite of any GTA.

Venoxn4g3613d ago

its definitely better than gta IV :) i liked it a lot

Goro3613d ago

The Club sucked, where is Yakuza 3 or 4 or Binary Domain or Sleeping Dogs.

GamerEuphoria3613d ago

Since when was Sleeping Dogs overlooked?

Goro3613d ago

Since before it was available on PlayStation Plus.

mydyingparadiselost3613d ago

I think mine would be
Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom
Tastunoko V Capcom
House of the Dead Overkill
Deadly Premonition
Sam and Max
Honestly I think this last gen had a lot of overlooked titles or at least titles that didn't see the amount of sales they should have. It makes me worry for the future of the current generation.

Baka-akaB3613d ago

The Club might have been a new idea , but it doesnt mean that all of those are good .

And Deadly preomonition was hardly overlooked . It's a game that had a bigger than expected and deserved success based on the weird hype "that's it so bad you gotta play it and gonna love it" (an opinion i dont share)

GamerEuphoria3613d ago

Since the game came out I've been trying to get EVERYONE to play it, thus it popped up on this list, it's still not very well known in the UK

Monster_Tard3613d ago

Really liked WWE All Stars, never got to play it online as the servers went down by the time I picked it up.
