If the first-person shooter is your game, 2010 is undoubtedly your year.
The tail end of 2009 brought Modern Warfare 2: the most successful failure of all time.
March 2010. Now comes Bad Company 2: a game that, despite coming so tantalizingly close to being really good, is in its death throes.
October 2010. Medal of Honor: a franchise rebooted as (maybe) a CoD4 clone:
Expect a hell of a lot more recoil in the PC version. The early buzz surrounding the game (amongst the few people that have played it) has been very positive thus far, and everything is looking much more polished at this stage.
P.S. Urban environments, my brothers: they're plugging that gaping hole in BC2.
P.P.S. Pre-orders will get access to a beta on JUNE 21.
"Winter" 2010. Alright, this is weird. BC2 is getting a Viet Nam expansion. So, EA and DICE are going to compete with themselves, in addition to Call of Duty: Black Ops.
Makes zero sense to me, but whatever. We have options. Speaking of Call of Duty:
November 2010. Activision wants to prove that the franchise can survive the death of Infinity Ward. So they added a crossbow. And they also added Raven Software to the mix (maybe), putting Singularity on hold so the studio can make additional maps for Treyarch's multiplayer offering. Unorthodox, but damned smart.
The industry is hurting this year. That's good for us.
Let's cross our finger, and hope there will be a better games coming out than the ones above. I am talking about Half Life 3, that is a true FPS. Rumors, I know. But good enough for me. You hooked me up with that game Scott, now make sure that game will hit the market.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see a game called "Poke Remmy with a stick"
ReplyDeleteWhere you shove a stick thru the bars on a cage and make the little Remmy monster screech. Now that's a true FPS !
FPS means: Front Pole Shuffle? Great!
