Oh goody.
A brown shooter. I throw my disappointment in with Bobsy

Oh goody.
Another developer measuring their worth in system specs.

I’m not too sure about the flame thrower either, it looks less exciting than the pyro’s and it doesn’t seem to spread in dry long grass.

A number of the responses on this thread point to a common ailment across the gaming spectrum: How to improve the stories and create emotional exigencies in video games. Ubisoft, IMHO, is especially bad at it. The only good ones I’ve played in the last year are MOD4 and Bioshock. When will they learn (and how?)

The Crysis alien thing wasn’t last-minute or much of an unexpected twist… I’ll give you that it was “plot” though. :-)

“Lets all have bets on the stupid last minute ‘plot twist’ which always gets thrown into these games. I vote for lost land of the dinosaurs with aliens.”

I dunno, it’d be tough to top Crysis’ octopus alien.. things.

This appears to have become uglier since the last video I saw? Grass is a bit less detailed, the light seems less impressive, and the fire passes through some foliage entities before hitting the ground?

They do love their fire though, don’t they?

Thanks for the link to those slides Kunal. I’m now very much interested in seeing how much of that makes it into the final game.

My culturally related comment: Dunia means world in Malay, so their engine is called the World Engine.
