[Game] Battlefield 3
- Thread starter Ralfst3r
- Start date
Was added in the 1.2 patch to be more precise. 1.0 and 1.1 didn't have that indicator.

Enemy Territory had a noise that would play when you'd get a hit. I think you could pick what noise too. I remember a sheep noise being available? lol Anyway, wasn't ET before BF1942 even?

They do and it's been said. Watching a cinematic is more interesting to most people than a multiplayer segment where people would appear to be randomly running around firing at stuff. It's much easier from a promotional standpoint when you display the new features in preset environment because it emphasizes them. So people like us who already know what we're looking for just have to wait.
This video was by far the worst of the bunch though. The other trailers showed cinematic/hollywood stuff but it wasn't all that cliche. New video displays those stupid *** quicktime segments, "Press right button to knee guy in face, press left button to win etc...." and of course the standard of all fps games: here's an mg, get on it and mow down 50 men who like to charge massive guns. I knew it was going to be a gamey sp but I was rather ok with that, but this cliche'd nonsense really needs to die.

Nice video. It's cool how they even mentioned RO2 along side mainstream titles like BF3 and CoD, showing that RO2 is getting some good attention.YouTube - Battlefield 3 - Fault Line "Get That Wire Cut" Analysis

Now we just need a mindblowing trailer showing off ALL of RO2's amazingly innovative features with badass music and good editing.

DICE: Most sandbox games are 'boring and not very popular'
http://www.computerandvideogames.co...andbox-games-are-boring-and-not-very-popular/
So, since they can't be bothered to design a decent AI that can manage more than walking down scripted paths, they declare more open games as "too hardcore"? Nice one DICE, real nice.

Thinking makes my brain hurt, I'd much rather walk down a long, pretty, shoe box of a map and shoot all the bad guys while they miss me repeatedly and my comrades cower in the shadow of my awesomeness.
That makes me feel good about myself, while failing at something difficult makes me feel bad and eat cookies.

Indeed, this philosophy is a firm step BACKWARDS from innovation -- not forwards.DICE: Most sandbox games are 'boring and not very popular'

Heaven for bid we try to innovate in a AAA title rather than just appealing to the masses in the most safe way possible. That's just the way it is for AAA multi-platform shooters right now.
The innovation is and probably will always be with Indy developers. Unfortunately they tend to lack big enough budgets most of the time.

But deploying a weapon on the environment is innovation, and so is an earthquake, no one's done an earthquake in a game before. Besides, if you do much new stuff then people might get scared, or worse, be challenged a little, a new key might be a little tough to learn.

In no way am I saying that linear games can't be innovative, or that games that have linear campaigns or designs are automatically insignificant.
It's the REASONING for the decision that bothers me. Rather than say, "Hey we really wanted to make this great campaign and decided an open world design is not what we want. It's an artistic decision," they said "Well, open world games are really hard to design and don't appeal to the masses so we won't make our game open-ended."
That is a cop-out, not an artistic decision. At least they could have BSed it and said it was lol.

What I hate is that they try to play it off as if this was purely a decision based on their design philosophy, while everyone with half a brain can see that trying to get higher sales numbers was at least as big of a factor.
They're basically just doing what CoD games have been doing and trying to one-up them with better graphics and destructible environments.
Can't place all of the blame on them tho, a lot of it lies with the average consumer, which nowadays is a casual console gamer. They don't want a more complex game, either because they simply prefer a linear and simplistic game, or because they just don't know any better. This puts publishers and developers in a position where they don't really need to innovate, since churning out games that are basically copies of each other and are cheaper and easier to make, yet are likely to bring in more money, than a game with new innovative (and maybe a bit more complex) features, is simply a better business decision.
Big developers and publishers choose not to innovate and play it safe, in order to reel in the big bucks every year (*cough CoD cough*), while most smaller and indie developers just don't have the finances and/or manpower to work on a truly innovative big budget game for several years. Also, the risks for them are much bigger, since if the game fails, the company may very well to follow suit.

Yeah, this is just sad.

I personally like a clear direction in a game, however I like to choose for myself how to solve an issue.
I like missions where you need to get to postion X, and you can choose for yourself how to get there.
I personally do not like sandbox games in the sense that you're dumped in a sandbox and can choose everything you wish to do. Give me a mission to solve in an open world. With different pacings through the ride.
