Medal of Honor: Frontline HD Tech Analysis - Digital Foundry

Digital Foundry's Face-Off coverage of the new Medal of Honor should be complete for tomorrow, but in the meantime the chance to check out the HD remastering of the 2002 classic Medal of Honor: Frontline - bundled in free with the PS3 limited edition - proved irresistible.

"The graphics and sound appear to be essentially untouched from the original PS2 game."

Sounds like a consolidation price for getting the inferior version of the main game. Remains to be seen which version is the best though. Since the PS3 was lead platform for the game it would be logical for it to get the superior version.

More total bias bullshot from Digital Frowndry, "fugly" lol amazing that he can hate on free extras.

So funny that he lost his job at the hands of sony and he still hasn't gotten over it all these years later, pathetic.

Silly gameAr5326d ago

After the Bioshock 2 crap they tried to pull, I'm surprised anyone takes their word on anything.

Vip3r5326d ago

What Bioshock 2 crap?

Silly gameAr5326d ago (Edited 5326d ago )

Sorry. I was thinking of Lens of Truth.

See how blurry they make the PS3 pics? Bioshock 2 looks nothing like that on PS3.

I got the 2 sites confused because I guess I figured that one was as pointless as the other.

@jack

Buddy, dont get pissed on DF just for stating some facts.

The game was not remastered but upscaled, and it looks extremely dated. No effort was put in improving its graphical assets, v-sync the image and the framerate itself doesnt reach 60fps.

Frontlines comes for free but this translation is rather cheap itself, so the decision of buying the game comes down to the quality of MoH itself. A cheap Frontlines "port", padding the BD, weights nothing in my purchase decision.

fossilfern5326d ago

seriously ? its free why bitch when its free!

lexington5326d ago

Wow. PS3 can't even render this old game without "massive amounts of screen tear." If I were a pswii fanboy I'd be so mad.

the-show-stopper5326d ago

i dont care im still gonna play it and beat it
when my internet was down and my 80gb still alive i played frontlines alot
its nice to go back a gen or two or four to see how gaming has improved

gamerdude1325326d ago

"they look fugly compared to today's standards". Yeah, because the GoW Collection such a big update to graphics. Pretty much all remasters are like that and the fact that it is included in it at all for FREE shows how cool those guys are and this guy complains? Ugh, douchebag.

Video Game Franchises in Danger of Being Forgotten

The gaming industry moves at such a pace that it’s not surprising we’ve seen countless franchises fall into obscurity over the years.

Im surprised that a game with a heritage of Medal of Honor is in this list.

cthulhucultist184d ago

There is a rumour that Driver 1 & 2 remasters will be released for Switch and presumably for other systems as well.

https://www.gamingbible.com...

Not sure however whether this results into new games in the near future.

HellspawnPR1981184d ago

Ninja Gaiden? Splinter Cell? Tenchu? Virtua Fighter? Killer Instinct? Killzone?

DefenderOfDoom2184d ago

I would very much enjoy
a new dedicated single player Killzone campaign. With a fun multi-player.

cthulhucultist184d ago

Tenchu and Killer Instict would be great indeed!

Unfortunately new Killzone game does not seem to be in the works

Virtua Fighter is going to receive a new entry!

https://www.dualshockers.co...

Splinter Cell is likely to be one of the remasters launching next year (not sure whether this has to do anything with the remake previously announced)

https://toronto.ubisoft.com...

HellspawnPR1981184d ago

Yeah, read the news about a new Virtua Fighter and I am so ready for it. Splinter Cell at this point I don't believe anything Ubisoft says plus I don't think modern day Ubisoft can make a decent stealth game. They will likely fuck it up.

Inverno184d ago

Basically everything at this point as companies have no concern with preservation.

Remembering Medal Of Honor: The Forgotten Master Of WW2 Games

Ibrahim from eXputer: "The Medal of Honor franchise was once the crown jewel of FPS war games, later defeated by the tides of time and poor development."

banger88386d ago

They tried to turn it into Call of Duty and it killed it off. They should reboot it and go back to it's roots. But they'd ruin it with online-only/multiplayer style bullshit so why bother? I have very fond memories of these games, but this series can stay dead as far as I'm concerned.

FPS_D3TH385d ago

Was literally just thinking of this game the other week with the secret nut cracker mission and the shooting Bismarck dog lmao. Loved these games as a kid

PrecursorOrb385d ago (Edited 385d ago )

I wish they’d remake warfighter

Strictly for the campaign

The_Hooligan385d ago

I have fond memories of playing the Medal of Honor Breakthrough MP Demo. It had two maps and custom servers. Living on campus, I had it downloaded on one of the PC Lab servers so I could access it on any computer at the university. Joined a clan and made friends that I still keep in touch with today.

Medal of Honor 2010 was a good start for a modern reboot. The campaign was fantastic. Multiplayer wasn't great but that's DICE's fault. I'd love if they went back to that game and gave it a proper sequel.

SlothLordPootus882d ago

I actually really liked the multiplayer in MoH 2010. Battlefield gunplay on small maps. I would love to see a Rising sun remake, the opening scene would be amazing to see.

SonyStyled882d ago

I enjoyed the multiplayer of MoH 2010. It felt like battlefield 3 in a way. The multiplayer in Warfighter was also pretty good but the campaigns single player story was not appealing with the whole family cutscene thing. Gameplay was fun though. MoH to me is the PS1/2 titles and I don’t expect to see a WW2 MoH after the last Call of Duty’s

Levii_92882d ago

PS1 MOH 1999 and 2000 (Underground) and Allied Assault PC is my childhood.. it's still soo good and it holds up. Not to mention Michael Giacchino's soundtrack is one of the best video game soundtracks ever made. Even if you weren't born in early to mid 90's go listen to the main theme of Allied Assault and you will be overloaded from nostalgia.

I miss this franchise a lot.

Iceball2000882d ago

I’ve always thought that MOH and Battlefield should be separate…

Have MOH as the full fledged single player with an amazing store and whatnot. And a basic multiplayer just to have multiplayer. Sorta like how the MOH reboot was.

And then have BF as the full fledged multiplayer with all effort put into that and ditch the single player. Maybe add Commander back in.

Only in a perfect world.

HeliosHex882d ago (Edited 882d ago )

Oh man medal of honor on pc was awesome back in the day. Multi-player was fun. Joined my first clan on medal of honor. Definitely deserves a comeback. But needs to be on the same level or surpass COD. Since it came out before that ip in 1999 to avoid embarrassment.

FGHFGHFGH881d ago

The guys who did Allied assault are the one who created call of duty. They're back at EA, Vince something

MadLad882d ago

I'll be the weird guy in the room and say I actually loved Warfighter. I thought the squad mechanics made it stand out a bit and thought the shooting felt good. Put a lot of time into the multiplayer.
