The first game was a lot of fun. Glad to hear they will have dedicated servers as the first one was super laggy.

Lookin forward to it!

Send this Halo copy-cat to the gallows!!

"Halo copy-cat".

Not actually played the game then, I take it?

The artstyle is sort of Halo-eque (even the scenery and battlefields) but really it plays more like Tribes.

And BTW, Halo borrowed a lot of ideas from Aliens(the marines), Predator(elites), and Tribes (Making mountable vehicles a big part of FPS combat, big cyclopean platforms to fight over in the middle of a grassland).

Shame no one will support this tech.
User dedicated gaming servers a way to push the console online quality in the right direction but everybody will ignore it and play with p2p.

kevco335221d ago

Yup. The original Section 8 used it, and now the sequel is too. How many games in the two years between offered it? 0. Yup, 0.

palaeomerus5221d ago

It's 15 bucks, has bots, and a five our single player that is not simulated arena play. So I'll buy it for sure.

Hopefully it turns out way better than Breach, Modern Combat:Domination, Hydrophobia, Mindjack, or Blacklight Tango Down did.

Parting shots: how six celebrity developers met their demise

OXM UK: "It's heart-breaking when a development studio responsible for a game or series that you love closes down. Often, you'll remember them for the good times - the stand-out, stellar high points of their career - and not the decisions or titles that ultimately doomed them. Inevitably though, some studios come to be defined by their final release."

One of my favorite games this gen.

SilentNegotiator4367d ago

Is Team Bondi really a "celebrity developer", though? Granted, they received the automatic extra-enthused approval that anything remotely Rockstar-related seems to get from the press, but they only created ONE game before falling apart ~5 months later.

IDK, that just seems a bit hasty, calling them "celebrity developers"

MikeyDucati14367d ago

I guess that title was given because Brendan.

I miss Pandemic studios. They had good titles.

La noire was soulless, and the interrogations were deeply flawed.

Timegate Takes a Bullet for Gearbox

Gearbox may very well have been the primary developer of the game, and if that's the case, why is Timegate closing down today and not Gearbox?
