Call of Juarez : Gunslinger

Ark

Anyone played this yet?

Firstly what an amazing looking games, from the art style to the distant vistas! Love the colours and atmosphere.

The soundtrack is very well done and really gets me in the old wild west mood.

I loved Bound in Blood and this seems to continue the great things that I enjoyed in BiB.
Would be even more awesome if the levels were opened up a little more, a bit more exploration or side-quests would really improve over the linearity.

Shooting is great and you allows you the specialise in each type of weapons and gameplay.

Also a cheap game surprisingly and well worth looking at if you like your shooters with a little different mix on the shooting mechanics.

Seir, did you work on this? Congrats if you did, amazing little game that deserves more attention.

Ugh..I am so excited. I need more time though. I am double fisting Bioshock and Metro right now..as soon as those two are out of the way, I am ready for this. I wish there were more western games like this! It's such a bad ass part of our history!

Ark

Yeah apart from RDR, we seem short on good western games.

Here's a couple of screens I took:

sold! grabbing this one now, looks great!

skylebones

Absolutely love westerns, as soon as I pickup/finish Bioshock Infinite this is next on my list.

4evra

is it just me,or do these guns have the borderlandish feel with those outlines?

Ark

Yeah it does have that outline effect, but the textures themselves are more realistic than the approach Borderlands takes.

I just grabbed this one... seems like a good time. I'll post some pictures and some thoughts soon.

EDIT: did you guys find an FOV adjustment? i need one... the fov is terrible, and there is no setting in the menu... guess i'll go look in the config files to try and find one.

Ark

The FOV is real low, like around 60, could do with an option for that. The .pak files are encrypted as well so no option to tweak any config files.

Couple more screens:

ugh... that sucks... this game would be better with an fov option...

No other complains other than that.

Also would help with motion sickness and migraines from low fov

Yep, in the pre-production mostly with meshes and level art near the large waterfall but it changed a bit after I've left it After that I've moved to Hellraid. Making COJ4 was ultra fun, the game plays well and looks really decent! I'm really happy with the result! Thanks for the kind words - it's really important for as after COJ3...


BTW I hope there will be a FOV option in the patch. It can be done quickly but with glitches or smart but this will take a bit of time

glottis8

^agreed... game looks pretty and the gameplay is fun... but the FOV is killing it for me right now. Its too low right now, it should have maybe an FOV of 75 at least... i wanna set it to 90 to be more comfortable.

MikeF

I'm really having a blast with this one, the only thing that's really bothering me are the black borders at the top and bottom of the screen. I thought for sure they'd go away once you start shooting, but they stay there all the time! You get used to it after a while but i'd really like to use all of my screen to play.

MainManiac

Pics looked great until I saw them at full size

skylebones

Didn't realize this was a $15 title. Just picked it up and will play when I get home.

seir

Patch 1.01 is ready but the FOV problem is still not fixed. We'll need to wait for another patch with it.

EDIT:
FOV fixed and added option to remove the black belts!

Played an hour or so at lunch and i love it. Awesome mood and artstyle and I love the storytelling aspect.

glottis8

YES! FOV FIX FTW!

firestarter

This was a lot of fun, really enjoyed it and hope there's some dlc planned for it. Some really nice enviro art in there too.

skylebones

This game is awesome! Really love the way they handled the story elements. Very clever. and it also looks pretty nice.

Finished this game a couple nights ago and I was thoroughly impressed with the story telling narrative wrapped inside the game play and just the attention to fun game mechanics that WORK. I had a question for anyone that may be in the industry, does anyone know the illustrators/art directors behind the cut scene animation. I'm a huge fan of the execution and style. Any info would be awesome! cheers mates.
