That game was awesome.

I remember playing it on Xbox for the first time and trying to hunt the other playing playing 1v1, while also trying to stay hidden and not give away position.

It was the first time I'd played an FPS that made me actually try and out smart the other player rather than just go on an all out attack.

It looked so good on the OG Xbox too.

BattleReach4123d ago

Looks like sh#t. But maybe the gameplay is fun. I'll give it a try.

Wingsfan244123d ago

It's being developed by a team of 3, mind you.

Axonometri4123d ago

No offense, but one talented artist could make a can look better than that.

Wingsfan244123d ago

Haha I was just passing info, I have no part in developing the game so no offense taken. I think once we release the full interview tomorrow people will be more interested in the project. I will admit they didn't send us the best screenshots, but at least their not bullshots either I suppose.

Hi Nick,
I'll have to admit it looks good for a game devloped by a team of 3, and I'll sure check it out. I really like tactical shooters and I'm looking foward to read the interview tomorrow.

It is in the earliest stages of being ported over to Unreal 4 from U3. Give them some time. It certainly won't release like that April Fools joke from Serellan.

That is developed Unreal 3. Once it is ported fully to 4 I think those guys will up the ante.

@BattleReach,

We think you'll be intrigued by the game details. It's sounding pretty great from what they've told us, looking forward to sharing the details. They'll be live around 11 AM Central tomorrow.

that honestly doesn't look that great.

PR_FROM_OHIO4123d ago

Not a good game to show off your New Engine IMO!

TWB4122d ago

I dont mind the graphics but... wasnt ground brach originaly started on UDK/UE3 ? If so and based on the screenshots, the engine switch wasnt really necessary because similar visuals are doable on UDK/UE3

jsonedecker4122d ago

It was started on UE3. We didn't switch to UE4 for the graphics though... it was mainly a business decision that gave us a better foundation to support the game for many years to come. Ground Branch won't be a yearly cash in or something that is abandoned after 6 months.

We are an extremely small team focusing on unique gameplay for now. The graphics are something we hope to improve on as the projects gains momentum and some funding.

Unreal Engine 4 Tactical FPS, Ground Branch, Gets New Fantastic Looking Screenshots

OnlySP: It has been quite a while since we last covered the upcoming Unreal Engine 4 tactical FPS, Ground Branch, but the development team has been making some big strides in development as of late.

pompombrum3678d ago

This game has been in development for so long that I even remember joining the x-fire group for it lol. I really hope they manage to deliver on what they set out to do, it would be awesome if we could get a more modern version of the original Ghost Recon games.

dcj05243678d ago

x-fire lol, havent heard that name in a while.

PS4 Version of Unreal Engine 4 Tactical FPS, Ground Branch, “is a good bet at some point”

OnlySP: In our recent interview with the team at Blackfoot Studios about their upcoming tactical FPS Ground Branch, studio owner John Sonedecker revealed that there is a strong possibility that the Unreal Engine 4 game will make an appearance on the Playstation 4.

Ashunderfire864121d ago

Good we need more Tactical shooters like this.

"Gameplay will not be your standard Hollywood ‘save the world’ fare.” Sonedecker told us. “The world is not in imminent danger from a maniac tyrant with a biological weapon or nuke. Missions may mirror or be influenced by some real life issues and conflicts.There may be times when you are in a no win situation and must choose to take the “best of the worst” outcomes. Mission success may not be cut and dry either. It isn’t always calculated by killing everyone in a map.”

Gotta admit, loving the sound of that. Nice to see a dev taking a chance at coming at a different angle. Would like to see more of that this gen.

Just hoping this doesn't turn out to be another case of Takedown. Don't think I've ever been burned harder.
