IGN - Spec Ops: The Line: "We Want to be The Apocalypse Now of Gaming"

IGN - On its sandy surface, forthcoming Dubai-set combat shooter Spec Ops: The Line might well be the most generic shooter this side of Doom. Last seen on the PS1, the series' past reputation for budget military action doesn't help first impressions much. American soldier? Check. Unnamed Middle Eastern war? Check. Trusty sidekicks spouting cliche lines? Check. Still, there's something exciting about the Q1 2012-expected title: developers Yager and 2K Games are quick to point out that they're trying to bring out a game with its own personality.

"we want to be the apocalypse now of gaming"...lol good luck with that.

camel_toad4882d ago

Some people are meant for greatness. I dont think the team behind Spec-Ops is though...

rizzo-rizzo4881d ago

Don't even know who they're. but if the campaign looks anything artificial like the Company of Heroes cutscenes, has the voice acting of those soldiers in Battlefield 3 campaign, and lacking the true psychological horror stance. they ain't got no place in vietnam.

Torrents are there. I actually have the original CD's from NOLF 2, never going to part with them.😁

3D Dot Game heroes. Good luck

__y2jb75d ago

I have this. Never even realised it had become rare.

@Cacabunga
While i have a disc with the game, i was able to find it on a torrent ru tracker with at least 3 people seeding right now and it was downloaded 450+ times.

I wouldn't send a link (so i wouldn't get banned). But, i think, torrent or P2P are probably the last mostly reliable way to find old games no one cares about. I was able to find «Fable» there. Not the Lionhearts' Fable, but very old point-n-click adventure.

Need NOLF Remaster from Nightdive.

PRIMORDUS75d ago

NOLF 1+2 remaster for me = instant buy

Abnor_Mal76d ago

I still have my PS3 copy of Spec Ops, Battlefield Bad Company 1&2 & Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1/2.

Planning to replay those and a few others, but the controls feel so loose now compared to modern games.

Chocoburger76d ago

Change the title to: Amazing Games That Have Been Abandoned by Stupid Publishers Who Don't Care About their Legacy, so You Should Pirate and Enjoy them.

Okay, maybe that title was a bit too long. 😅

NotoriousWhiz75d ago

Amazing abandoned games that you should ARRRR.

DafunkyRebel76d ago

I missed out on the chance to buy BFBC1 on Xbox and I just want to kick myself silly. One of the best PS3 experience of my life. The feeling, impact, sound design of this game was leagues better than BF games that followed

TorpeAlex75d ago

Pour one out for Transformers Devastation

isarai75d ago

I lost my physical copy in a move, it still bothers me to this day 😅😔

I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.

EvertonFC450d ago (Edited 450d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga450d ago

Yes great game spec ops! Since the time we’ve been asking sony to make one:/

Auto Modelista.. a PS2 capcom racer!! A blast to play and great graphics!
Maximo!
Rival Schools!

LordoftheCritics450d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend449d ago

all the games in the above list are bang on. this is the only reason we need backwards compatibility and physical presense of games for the upcoming future, no matter what.

Yi-Long450d ago

Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.

melons450d ago

yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring

Skuletor450d ago

I really wanted a MotorStorm using the same engine, Driveclub is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and I'm surprised they didn't even give it a PS4 Pro patch.

ravens52449d ago

Yes indeed. May just install it on my PS5. You know, physical copy and all.

monkey602449d ago

I adored Driveclub and the Bike expansion. I also loved Motorstorm. Evolution shutting down was a crime

Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.

Skuletor450d ago

I have quite a few of these. Timed licenses suck.

Terry_B449d ago (Edited 449d ago )

wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.

Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.
