E3 2011: Brothers in Arms: Furious 4: Desecrating the BIA Name?

OXCGN:

"The Electronic Entertainment Expo is the biggest and most anticipated event of the gaming year.

"It brings happiness, sadness, anticipation, excitement, and as always, disappointment.

"At the Ubisoft conference, the infamous Randy Pitchford walked on stage and discussed how he and the team at Gearbox have reinvented WW2 shooters… and how they’re going to do it again.

"We then saw the reveal trailer (below), which speaks for itself.

"Is Furious 4 desecrating the Brothers In Arms name?"

This really disappoints me...

It looks like an interesting game, but NOT an interesting BIA game.

As the author said, WHY did they have to release this under the BIA name???

"Desecrating the BIA Name?"

yep

jriquelme_paraguay4717d ago

Sound like a part 4 of Fast & Furious...

Reibooi4717d ago

I thought the same thing.

Game looks pretty funny but WHY use the BIA name when it has been built up to be a realistic and emotional story heavy series? It makes no sense.

majiebeast4717d ago

Ye it shits on the entire Bia franchise the last game mightve not been the best but the other 2 were just great wo2 games that i loved for the history and gameplay. This one is like duke nuke em and borderlands(not a bad game wish they announced borderland 2) made a baby.

In short, yes, yes it is. It looks like it's just a spin-off of the normal BiA games. I'm livid because it looks like old fans (like myself) are going to have to wait until either 2013 or 2014 for a proper BiA game.

Proeliator4717d ago

If they even give us another true title...

pass getting tired of ww2 games

gaminoz4717d ago

And what about all the modern warfare games this gen? WW2 has hardly been done recently.

zeal0us4717d ago (Edited 4717d ago )

like how ya condemn me for expressing my opinion, why are ppl quick to hit the disagree button when someone's opinion isn't the same or anywhere similar to theirs.

And what about all the modern warfare games this gen? What about them? I just think its time to move pass WW2, there are other wars you know.

gaminoz4717d ago (Edited 4717d ago )

I'm certainly not condemning your opinion, just disagreeing with it :)

Your opinion is just as valid as mine! I'm sick of modern warfare games...there are way too many of those at the moment. I'm happy to play another WW2 game if it actually goes to different battlefields (NOT bloody Normandy!!!) and has more destructibility etc. In other words upgraded with new game engines.

Ubisoft's Recent Antics Have Me Fearful For The Sands of Time Remake

Hanzala from eXputer: "With Ubisoft's practices becoming increasingly anti-consumer lately, the destruction of The Sands of Time Remake looks almost inevitable."

Hey Ubi, here's a gun, don't shoot yourself in the foot.

*Ubi takes gun, aims at foot, empties clip*

At this point, only dummies have any hope left for Ubi-junk games.

Every industry has these issues

Some companies I’ve worked for were great and some were toxic as hell (UPS when I was a teenager was extremely toxic and I have heard it still is) It all starts at the top. They either hold people accountable , set standards and treat people with respect or the crap rolls downhill.
