I just can't believe how realistically the humans move. Remove the gun and HUD and I would have thought it was a real film.
I am years behind on my PC tech these days so HL2 still looks awesome to me, and I have a Wii for console games. I just couldn't believe how realistic everything looks, even down to the way the people sway about in a completely realistic manner.
This could be a good excuse for many to upgrade their PC...
My thoughts match yours Cyrix. The guy stops and his feet slide. The one who scaled the wall and landed in a squat position. Everything seems much more "human like". That is REALLY impressive!
I have so many great memories of playing Battlefield 2. I have been waiting for Battlefield 3 for a long long time. I always liked to think that the Bad Company games were just testing grounds for Dice, and their real focus was on Battlefield 3.
When I saw the teaser trailer (the 30-second one with all the static), I said there was no gameplay in that. It looked entirely like scripted cutscenes. This is a glorious rebuttal to my objections. Well played. I will be saving for a hardware upgrade in anticipation.
IIRC there is no dx9 option for this release; newer cards will be a must for this level of awesome. DICE has put much of its development team on the PC release (including pulling the Mirror's Edge team OFF that project), vowing to focus 'on the roots' that the BF franchise was born from, rather than continuing the consolification of the COD series.
I'll try to put a rundown together of what's known about the BF3 project as is - I'm surprised this got the attention it did and feel kinda bad for not including it in the OP.
NiGHTS from what I read the team for Mirror's edge had the project canned after they had some kind of demo ready for the next game. Then the team got moved to other current projects.
Seconding the inside of a giant whale idea. Just think, missing the enemy causes you to shoot the whale. The whale starts the game with 100% health and if you drop it to 25% he starts to bleed to death and you have to move faster to finish the game before the whale sinks. The number of headshots you get in each level will somehow give the whale a health boost. I think this idea will really encourage accuracy and teach players about the negative effects of collateral damage.

Would it be the rare Bearded Whale and would you be fighting pirates inside of it?

lol, and we don't call it a gun either, it's a weapon. your gun is between your legs
Seconding the "Looks like it's time for a new video card" sentiment, as well. Something tells me my 4670 won't like this very much.
I don't know how well my 5850 is going to fare either.

especially vikings :jokke:
The only video game setting less compelling than this one is World War II.
If you were making an FPS, where would you have it set, CB?
Anywhere but here and now in our real world. There are an infinite number of more interesting options.
True Dat!
I'm with you on this one. I've played this game a few too many times now.
But this is the FUTURE! it's 2014.
That is actually ingenious. :thumbup
