This game looks great. Just like Bulletstorm it wasn't meant to be serious at all and it was a ton of fun to play but this looks like its doing a lot more for Destruction and MP.

This looks like the game Black was supposed to be.

Except the part where the missions could run 45 minutes or that you could actually run out of bullets if you weren't being careful.

I'm sorry, but I can't help think of Ice T whenever something of this game comes up.

Looks okay. I might rent it, Maybe.
I wasnt a bulletstorm fan so that makes me iffy on this.

I think I found my new FPS to play for a while...looks like they actually grasp the concept of "recoil" from a gun instead of the fully automatic sniper rilfes you get in CoD. There's also not a whole lot of room for camping. Yup, I'm definitely down.

Looks alright but I wont play it it. There are many FPS games out that I will play. I wonder why they have that horrible zoom mechanic instead of aiming down the sights? That one of the reasons why I don't play resistance. I own and shoot firearms and would like to be able to aim down the sight in my FPS games. I am sure it is a good game but that zoom feature is one of my pet peeves with games like this. If MGS 4 could have a aim down sight why wouldnt they add it in a true FPS game?

@xmaddoggx They explained why they use that aiming mechanic in the video.

@xmaddoggx In that kind of mad-shooting situation, you wouldn't cheek up to a machinegun or shotgun, you'd align with it, which is tremendously similar to that "horrible zoom mechanic", but doesn't beat in your face with the recoil of a high caliber, fully automatic, non-mounted weapon.

@xmaddoggx so you're not willing to give it a shot because it's not FPS #1,892 that lets you aim down the site using a red-dot optic?
Personally I like it. Aiming down the sites of a real gun looks more like how it does in this video than....well name any modern shooter that's come out in the last few years. You still rest your cheek on one side of the gun or the other. In video games they make it look like your face somethow goes through the stock and the sight is perfectly centered in front of your face. That's not how it works.
Good to see codemasters "gets it" and is doing something at least slightly different.

This kind of reminds me of Bullet Storm combined with Timesplitters and Serious Sam. It has the old-school shooter feel of Sam mixed with the huge amount of guns and tactics from Timesplitters, then polished off with over-the-top kills like in Bullet Storm.
At first I thought this game looked a little generic, and it still is frankly, but I won't lie- it looks like a whole lot of fun. If they can just tweak things a bit, might be a pretty good game afterall.

The cameraman is trying way too hard.

doesn't look like you can aim down the sights...I can see them saying they left it out because it didn't fit the style...
I'll buy it if its in 3D

It's operation wolf! with 3d movement. What other enemies would stand there like that waiting to get blasted away.

Reminds me of BLACK. Looks good. On my radar for sure.
