I am buying this day 1!

Must support!

ATi_Elite4795d ago (Edited 4795d ago )

Yeh I'm gonna pick this up day 1 also. Nothing better than a good O'le PC Exclusive!!

I really like the fact they built their own engine. The Unreal Engine 3 is GARBAGE!!

foolishness. Some devs will tell you the same thing but unrealistic project scope, little control over hardware platforms and portability of games has shown that licensing is better for short term dev cycles on multiple platforms.

Or you can blow millions and months/years on developing tools for a game that will end up being outdated and poorly received.

Or you can end up with a shining gym. and blow through the competition that all look the same.

exactly. Too Human was too much of a risk while Rage as far as well can tell will sell into the tens of millions.

It just isn't worth the risk. and I only mention Too Human because of the claims of all the work they put into Unreal Engine when they might as well have made their own. Even if you don't license the engine in the end risking that the game might fail, and the company might fold and go out of business, or just release another mediocre title and call it a day, I mean why risk it?

WOW Hard Reset!!!? Remembering playing this game years ago on my PC never finish it thou, cause it was very buggy still lots of particle effects and pretty looking I hope that gets intact.

update: some particles effects are missing still game the looks freaking awesome, with correct price definitely will get this :D

LifeInNZ3265d ago

Gameplay definitely looks dated but priced right as a PSN title it could provide a brief distraction.

GribbleGrunger3265d ago

Going around killing stuff in first person ... There's a novelty.

Shadow Warrior was an unexpected treat last year for PC gamers. I may go ahead and get it for PS4 anyway just to support these guys.

Activemessiah3865d ago

Flying wild hog are amazing devs with great consumer attitude... pretty much the exact opposite of EA then.

thezeldadoth3865d ago

Shadow Warrior was hands down the best shooter last year. If you don't have a PC that can run it and have a ps4 or xbox one, buy this game. Support the devs and enjoy an amazing shooter with a surprisingly interesting story

This was such a good remake. I picked it up on a steam sale for less than $20. I didn't expect to like it nearly as much as I did. I would suggest you play this game. Its fun, funny, and full of Wang! I also suggest you check out Hard Reset. It was really good too.

Volkama3865d ago

Also bought it cheap because I appreciated the topical jabs at cod and bf in the trailer.

It's a fun game, but I doubt even the devs would say it was "one of the best looking games in 2013".

JsonHenry3865d ago

It looked good without a doubt. But no, not the best looking. Who said it was the best looking anyway?

SteamFirst: Hard Reset Review

SteamFirst: Hard Reset is a sci-fi FPS developed by indie studio Flying Wild Hog. Not only has this developer managed to pack this game full of beautiful textures and effects, but it is also a ton of fun. Hard Reset aims to bring you back to 1993 when the classic game Doom won the hearts of millions of gamers. The game is a wonderful mix of modern technology and classic FPS style gameplay found in other modern games such as Serious Sam. Hard Reset is an easy game to recommend and only faults in its poor story telling and long loading times.
