RE: MY BODY IS READY
sorry, i know this is going to be a controversial opinion, so please dont shoot the messanger!, but, personally i am not impressed with what i have seen with infinate, it looks "wrong" to me gameplay wise, it just doesnt look like the way a bioshock game, or any Action-RPG really, should play in my opinion.
I am afraid i am also less than impressed with the graphics, the frame rate is clunky, the textures are muddy, and there is a severe "jaggies" issue.. i smell XBOX360 lead platform here, wich is Not good, its hardware is simply too old now, i mean, it still runs direct-x 9, you know, what IDtech III ran on?, it simply cant keep up with PS3, let alone a decent PC (no console hate here, but, its a simple fact that even a moderatly powerfull current generation PC is capabale of massacring any of the current consoles), so, that means any game that runs on 360 is going to be castrated technologically, and that isn't really acceptable today. yes, as i have said before, i am not fussed with graphics personally, but when the 3rd game is less graphically impressive than the first.. i start to worry about what else is going to be less impressive, ie, gameplay, lifespan, and reliability, the "game killer" factors.
the weapons are miles off as well, sorry, no way would Americans be using a Lanchester Machine gun as it was never exported to America!, also, Dewitts Mauser is clearly an M712 Schnellfuer as it has a box magazine rather than an internal tube fed by stripperclips, but? weres the auto fire ability?, the use of mausers by AI is wrong as well, as far as i have seen the world of Columbia is a Pro American, Pro White, Faschist state, no American in that sort of world would be seen Dead with Foreign weapon like a Mauser, surely the All American long barreled pre ww2 version of the Colt M1911 would be more Apporpriate for the AI? plus, no trigger discapline is shown, all things that will get the game mauled at IMFDB. sorry, but when the weapons are wrong, that sets alarms ringing, as, in an FPS, they are right up in your fizzog! so they have to be right, when they are wrong, i wonder, "what else have they got wrong? the programming?", and then i start to expect game killing bugs.
Also, as has been reported on all games news-sites, theres been a Lot of walkouts from Irrational as of late, over half the dev team according to some reporters, that does not look good, my business eductation tells me "there goes a dying dev", the question is, who made them walk? Levine? or 2K? , either way, the irrational staff walk out, and the videos i have seen so far of the game, do not bode well for bioshocks future in neither my opinion, nor in my business and marketing education.
i could put down what my marketing education is telling me, but, i shall refrain unless asked to iterate, as i suspect the response would be rather on the "thermonuclear annihilation" end of the explosive range.
nope, im sticking with dishonoured for my action RPG fix for now, it has got better graphics and the "correct" gameplay for a first person game in my opinion. sorry irrational, you have lost a customer for this one, try harder next time!
