Title: Blacksite - Area 51 WTF?
Post by: abrader on December 05, 2007, 08:48:58 PM
What happened here?

I like the Area 51 game from last gen.

I put this on and it looked bad - like someone based a weak squad shooter on the LAIR GFX engine or some rot - plus the gameplay blos - and so did everything else in the demo.

Last week my tagline on this was (I liked the first game, I might get this but I wont pre-order)

Now I wont fucking go near it - what the fuck happened?

This is a game only an achievment score whore could love on a rental.

I loved the demo actually.  In an interview with one of the developers, he admitted that the game basically went from alpha to gold.  I didn't play the final version but does it lag a lot or have a lot of bugs or something?

very underwhelming - some things in a frame look decent from a GFX standpoint, and then some things really stick out because they look really bad.

The controls felt a but sluggy.

I hate teammates that die and then rise from their grave 120 seconds later

The level design and scripted enemy placements felt weak and the levels were wide open shopping mall looking things with nothing going on.

Actually I thought it would be cool until I encountered enemies.

Maybe I was just in a bad mood earlier - I dunno....

What happened here?

PS3 development held the game back.  It should have just been a 360 exclusive.

Whatever the reason it blos.

Why did it not get a simultaneous release? It doesn't come out on PS3 till next week.

Oh well - the game from last gen was good.

Demi - sorry for the confuse - by "Floor Me" I meant disgust me to the point of making this thread. I liked demo 1 way more.

Yeah so what happened between Demo 1 and 2?

Also do you like Derek Jarman?

Try Demo 1 for fun, and demo 2 for disgust
