Breach release date broached: January 26

by Richard Mitchell on Jan 14th 2011 10:26AM

Breach -- the game one guy breached the law to get an early copy of -- has finally been dated for release on Wednesday, January 26 by developer Atomic Games, which will self-publish the title. The date applies to the "worldwide" availability of both the XBLA and PC versions of the multiplayer shooter, breaching initial plans to stagger the releases starting this past summer.

The PC version -- available in boxed-copy format or as a download -- will retail for $20, while the XBLA game has been set at $15 (1200 points). The premium PC edition will indeed be backed by a little more oomph, featuring Nvidia PhysX tech (i.e., "larger explosions"), a "higher performance" Hardcore Mode ("to play the way operatives train") and dedicated servers.

Breach the break [STOP THAT - Ed.] for some new gameplay footage.

The video's a minute long and the bullet ricochet noise got annoying after ten seconds.

There are two versions of the ping noise. I think we heard both of them 1000 times.

@snowtires sounded almost comical after a while

@FZero Exactly! It sounds like one of the Naked Gun movies.

@snowtires

Pew pew pew, pew pew.

LASERS AND RAY GUNS CONFIRMED.

@Thiago123

lol i love this site

@snowtires

I read the comments first and thought you guys were all exaggerating about the ricochet sounds. Then I watched the video and LMAO. Sounds like a kids game. pew pew ping ping pew pew ping ping

@snowtires

Not as annoying as the FreshLock commercials.

@Walkdiesel Your thinking of a game called "BRINK" due out later this year!

Is it just me, or is there no way to close the pop-up ads at the bottom of joystiq videos anymore?

If that's the case, that's really, really annoying.

@Vcize

i swear this is the millionth time i said it... and hopefully the last...

ADBLOCK

@HedonisticKai

As a webmaster myself I don't use adblock. Joystiq deserves to make money for the service they provide us, and they do that through ads.

Having ads that actually block the video and aren't closeable is too far though. Ads shouldn't negatively impact the viewing experience that much that you have to block them.

@Vcize

none of us actually click the ads, and just because some of that complain about ads use adblock doesnt mean joystiq will cease to exist... u keep defending them, ill keep using adblock.

@HedonisticKai

wow my english sucks when im distracted by actual work in the office..

*And just because some of the people that complain about ads, start to use adblock.. doesn't mean joystiq will cease to exist!

@Vcize

I use AdBlock—and the Joystiq ads still appear on the video.

@ChaseOrBeChased

L2 use Adblock..

looks like a mediocre game, but what can one person tell from a minute of gameplay

Unless you have an nVidia card, or one of the old fashioned PhysX cards from yesteryear, the "enhanced PhysX" support won't meant anything for you.

is it me or the sound was kinda weird?

Call of Duty.... ??? No... oh!

gotta love the toilet paper ad for video gaming website.

so is this a bad hollywood game where you cant hit anything? it seemed no matter if the IS are up or down you cant hit anything.

Great, another FPS. Didn't Black do the whole shoot the crap out of everything, thing?

I forget this existed

This looks like BAD company.

Reminds, me at least, visually of MAG on PS3.

@kylekalman

The difference is this probably isn't anywhere near as good, fun or as large as MAG. MAGs excuse for sub par visuals was the massive scale and player count ... whats Breach's excuse?

It's an XBLA game, the focus is on physics, and it costs 1/4 of a full retail game. But please do us a favor and review more games you haven't played so we can decide whether or not to buy them based on your ill-informed opinion.

Based off that trailer I can say with 100% certainty that Breach is not worth stealing. Everything from the sound, environments, models, animations and textures was piss poor. It should just be scrapped all together or given away for free with some kind of magazine subscription or razor gel promo.

Why you mad tho?

so it's a Bad Company 2 clone, but with cover...looks like crap compared to BC 2 though :/

Awwww yeah! A cheap online shooter for my cheap ass.

Lots of pew pew pew haha. Don't know why I'd want this over other shooters I already have.

Wow, you guys are harsh. The game is $15. A quarter of the price and the budget of the games everyone is comparing it to. I hope games like this get reasonable support so that we can have variable prices of games and not have everything be $60. Yeah it's not worth $60 but it may be worth $40 or $15.

@letthefireconsumeme Good game for me since my XBOX disc drive just died a few moments ago this and torchlight should keep me busy til I can get it fixed.

Why does it sound like there's an angry seal following you around?
