I think what Dcode means is that they left the dismemberment out so they won't miss out on the dollar they can get from the "kiddy" crowd. So they censor or "nerve" the game. I still remember the controversy that SoF caused. Maybe they don't want to go through that again.

Either way, it doesn't excite me at all, and I'm surprised they even started development on it. SoF just isn't interesting enough to justify a third part for it. Four years ago, this video would be very cool. But the FPS genre has evolved since then, and now it just looks like a cookie-cutter videogame.

They have to have gore/gibs or it's not a SOF game (yes I own both SOFs). I'm in agreement that that's basically the only reason to bother playing them. My guess is that they turned off gore for the demo clip so greedy McMoney bags wouldn't be unecessarily turned off by the investment. Now if it's true that there will be no horrific gore etc then SOF 3 will be truley pathetic and a clear sign of the politically correct gestapo controlo times we live in. Long live consoles!!!!!! Let's bring everything down to the level of a 13 year old!! *high five*. I mean SOF games are stupid as hell to begin with but really why would they cut the only thing they had going for them?

Haha I remember the very first time I shot a guy with the shotgun SOF2, a few loops of his intestines started to protrude out, and when he touched them with his hands he actually got blood on his hands.

I was actually impressed.

Bingo, the gore is the only element in the game that sets it apart from being just another FPS. The story is just a bunch of cut scenes thrown between each massacre of 100 enemies. What other game can you hack off limbs and pieces of skull with knifes or cut people in half with machine guns? That's the only thing that attracts people to the game.

looks like it still has dismemberment. Although it seems the game is made more arcady, in SOF and SOF2 you still had points where you had to seek cover, from what I can see in the gameplay vids it's just some run and shoot game with some gibbing feature. I do like it the characters still live with even an arm or a leg missing. Zombie mod would own.

You know that there was a port of SoF2 for the xbox. It was crappy as heck. Looked bad, ran bad, therefore controlled bad, but other than that it was SoF2. With dismemberment and everything that made it "great".

Really this prejudiced console hatred is so childish.

EDIT: Just watched the newer vids. Haha, that's better. Gibbing is in and the game looks as stupid as ever. I hope it has co-op and an option to make the enemies sustain more damage (but still get gibbed). :D

Is the game still being developed by Raven?

Nope, dont think so... I think they use another developer..

WHAT THE **** IS WRONG WITH THE CROSSHAIR?
It's a console-sized circle, allmost 1/5th of the screen is contained in it :eek::(
SoF1 and 2 used to have pinpoint accuracy, so at least you could make accurate shots, now it seems this will happen at random :(

SOF2's stealthy missions were actually really fun, especially when the only silent weapon you had was a knife :D

I hope SOF3 at least tries to mix it up like those secret agent FPS's used to do. Some stealth, some action, maybe some undercover (SOF2 started out really cool with all this espionage stuff like it was going to be this really deep and complex game, until OMG men in raincoats don't like your shaven face, time to pull out the 1911).

Who's prejudiced? I never said I hate consoles... but I do hate the self-censorship that some companies enforce so they can get money from the kiddie crowd. Yes, I know not all console users are youngsters.

But it's irrelevant since they DID put the gibbing back in. That's a good thing. But I probably won't play it. I gotta give it to Raven (or whoever develops it) though for not hyping up their game. Maybe they recognize SoF III isn't special enough to make a huge media campaign?
