and I'm, all in!!!
I believe it's called adapting to the market. The majority of your player base will play your game for free anyway (piracy) so if you can entice them to at least spend a few bucks on a new gun that's better than nothing.
I'd love to see a single player brink game from SD someday though.. to get more out of that awesome world
Bandwagons are typically negative things. If they dont turn it into a play to win game, cant see how this is bad.
And the F2P 'bandwagon' is like two years old. ;P
Free to play isn't a good trend. It has to be shoehorned into the game mechanics and design for it to work, and as such harms the original game
Anyway, me, Vahl and a few others spent quite a bit of time on creating this trailer, good to see it out there!
extra credits. again.
It IS usually painful and obnoxious, sure, but not always. I'm willing to give these guys the benefit of the doubt that they'll do it properly. Hope so.
Ohyesplease.
But if it's something totally original ill dig that too.
Me think so as well. Some serious art talent at Splash Damage though, so can't wait to see more.
As an example: Nexon adapted one of their most sought games (Vindictus) to the Western market by removing a 'Wait will you collect more Coins to progress X hours later' which the Asian versions had because Western people spend more money in the CS shop.
Other Western companies like Turbine adapted DDO in their own way that is both fair and open in system.
Yet we have Western companies who literally know their market, but insist on putting up petty restrictions in their games. Some of them gimp on your ability to sprint in the game, others rotate Character you can choose and some them outright don't allow you to access them.
As for the game, ETA on more info? I hope there will customizations in the game.
Also, this^^ :poly142:
Shows us more now
New trailer! I'm starring as the fat soldier that gets shot a lot and gets his head stuck in the railing at the end lol!
Let me say that the gameplay you see is pretty accurate on how the game really plays. No editing tricks to make it look different.
Guns feel a bit too big on screen and the hands could benefit from a bit of a stronger grip, I think ... but besides that, looks coooool ...
LOL
cant wait to fight against people who buy all the overpowered stuff!
whats new here?
our boss, Paul wedgewood, explains it pretty well here :
http://www.splashdamage.com/blog/1006/first-ever-dirty-bomb-gameplay-video-released
Official word is that we only reference W:ET and ET:QW because those are dedicated PC titles.
so whats the point of buying the founder things right now? should i just wait then until the beta starts?
I was so pumped when i saw this in the morning cause i wanted to play the game over the weekend then realized its not out.
oh i get that, i would pay the founders pack fee but i still wouldent be able to play right now thats my point.
when planetside 2 was in closed beta i payed to get in i didnt mind i wanted to play the game, what im saying is even if i pay right now i cant download it and play it right away.
I said a million times to jason lavoie if Brink was free-to-play i would be broke and now you have made brink free-to-play so yeah heres all my money :P
I just hope by "unlockable for free" you don't mean 100 hours of gameplay vs $5 to unlock it
Interesting. Can anyone comment on the switch? Not trying to stir things up. Splash Damage has always done amazing stuff with idTech and I'm curious why there was a move away from established tools, etc.
Visuals look great! Definitely interested in this game!
Cobalt-60 anyone?
Too bad... because Brink is also a PC title and it's not as bad as to keep that name aside. Maybe a marketing strategy not to put "Brink" because it was a failure?
Foot looks good too, only glaring issue I can see is that complete lack of blood splatter decals appearing behind an enemy you shoot.
I can't fathom why many shooters remove these, they are pretty much essential to figuring out where a choke point or camping area is," this wall is covered in bulletholes and blood, better turn around!"
Other than that, I want!
design as well as overall variety.
LOL, me 2
A couple of questions/comments :
- It looks like this game is way more "generic" looking than Brink. Hopefully this is a choice that you guys made without external pressure? (such as "Brink's art style is the reason of why it didn't work you guys have to make something more realistic this time, the public isn't ready for bold Art direction!"). I'm saying this because I fell in love with Brink's character design and environment and thought you guys would embrace that stylization and push it even further for this one
- I know that you guys mentioned that this title will be PC-only but from what I've seen in this last trailer, the guns and general feel of the game looks really console oriented. No iron sight shown (beside the scopes?), low FOV, almost no weapon recoil/hit-scan feeling. I probably played to much BF to be objective on that topic and I'm not saying there is anything wrong with the way Dirty Bomb seems to play, but I'd be curious to hear more about these game design choices!
Looking sharp as usual SD, can't wait to see more
-R
I am more impressed that Splash Damage is still alive after not having anything sizeably successful since the orginal Enemy Territory, which was free(!). Here we see studios being slashed and shuttered left and right for the tiniest missteps, and SD keeps on ticking - good on you guys for keeping your financials intact!
Simple: age ratings. Blood splatters bump the rating up (to mature/18 ). I have no idea how this works for self-published download only titles, but we're just staying careful I guess.
Yes it's intentional that there's some cross-over in theme and logo. The character similarities are more a result of strong/good character design I guess.
The only one I could find is this one :
Any chance of a nice wallpaper?
Congrats to ze team, I have high hopes for this one
:<>
Ive always seen F2P as an extended demo that you can pay to get the full game. I dont have a problem with that.. I can play the "demo" mode as long as I want..
