Damn this game look awesome

iceman29295450d ago

Is LEAD a modification of unreal two or is it 100% proprietary ?

AAACE55450d ago

I had no interest in this game until I saw the E3 video, now it is newr the top of my list!

IdleLeeSiuLung5450d ago

He is mentioning graphical techniques that were used in the newest Unreal Engine used in GeoW2. I think they are just using Unreal again, but it looks pretty darn good though.

It doesn't look like a traditional Unreal engine game....

really duh5450d ago (Edited 5450d ago )

The lighting engine is custom and its far more advanced than 99% of other lighting systems. I can't wait to see this game in other environments.

FantasyStar5450d ago (Edited 5450d ago )

I don't get it. If "LEAD is an evolutionary step from the SC:CT Engine": which is known to run on Unreal 2.5 Engine, then......is LEAD still Unreal tech then?

Troll-Killer5450d ago

Its similar to the Too Human deal...but without the lawsuit. I'm not sure how it works out LEGALLY, but basically Ubisoft Montreal has been tearing UE2 apart, and modifying it to the point where they are able to call it their "own". I'm sure if there was a problem with how they do this, Epic would have busted them on this long ago. In car speak, it'd be kinda like buying a brand new Chevy 350 big block, then boring the crap out of it, swapping out all the guts with racing-quality parts, adding a bunch of Holley bling, etc., and dropping in a Ford T-bucket. When you're done, its really not a "Chevy" engine anymore.

Calvin_ISA5449d ago

Chevy doesn't make 350 Big Blocks, all of their 350's are Small Block.. But I see your point. Kudos for knowing something other than video games though. :P

Rowsdower5450d ago

it could be claymation on a vhs camcorder for all i care.
as long as its as fun as past installments thats all i care about.

Gue15450d ago (Edited 5450d ago )

No wonder they don't want to make the game for the PS3. They are using the fuking Unreal Engine 2... UE3 doesn't works well on PS3, imagine how they'll run a prior version of it!

Now we know for sure that this game will NEVER see the light on
PS3. Even Epic themself had problems with UE3 when making the PS3 version of Unreal Tournament III. =(

JasonPC360PS3Wii5450d ago

You want this game so bad it hurts.

LUCKYXS7LEVEN5449d ago

you want MGS 4 , KZ2, GOW 3, infamous,DF 2 so bad.
see it can go either way.
on topic the game looks cool i'll check it out when the 360 is worth getting,until then back to real life playing my guitar

Nothing wrong with more games. As someone who just fundamentally hates xbox, I am pretty jelly that xbox gamers get real BC.

Finally ninja gaiden 2 is BC, I've been waiting on this since they announced BC.

Bane351865d ago (Edited 1865d ago )

Yeah i thought ninja gaiden was gonna get remaster because it wasnt announced for backwards compatible til just now tho i would've been up for joy if they announced max payne 3 for backwards compatible today instead

hiawa231865d ago

I am so wanting MP3 on BC and X1X enhanced

Bane351865d ago (Edited 1865d ago )

@hiawa23 i think R* has plans to remaster MP3 at this point

Z5011865d ago

You couldn't play your copy of NG2 before this announcement?

Bane351865d ago (Edited 1865d ago )

No it just became backwards compatible today

Movefasta19931865d ago

not everybody still has their 360, that's why

Z5011865d ago

Kept your game, but no console to play it on?
No one sells 360's anymore?

bluebenjamin1865d ago

Ninja Gaiden 2 is the main game I wanted bcthen alone one x enchanced is this game is more fun than bloodborne

Gwiz1865d ago

No contest,souls games are overhyped for difficulty.

bluebenjamin1865d ago

Very overhyped just because of difficulty not because of fun

1865d ago
Movefasta19931865d ago

facts, once you beat a souls game and do ng plus, you have the game downloaded. Once you return to ng1 and 2 you still can get your ass handed to you lol, the regular enemies are a threat, still attacking even when they are on the ground dismembered.

Gaming4Life19811865d ago

Agreed dark souls, bloodborne, and sekiro are overhyped games and dont compare to ninja gaiden 1 & , ninja gaiden 3 sucks.

What does BB have to do with NG2?
Why not insert Contra Shattered Soldier while you're at it.

bluebenjamin1865d ago

Ninja gaiden was once considered one of the hardest games ninja gaiden 2 has rpg elements so does bloodborn they have similar combat but ninja gaiden 2 just looks better doing it plus its fast pace and flashy combos removing limbs of foes remember 360 put more enemies on screen than ps3 on this game 360 had more dismemberment of limbs than the ps3 vs.360 had a better gpu but ps3 still to this day has an awesome cpu the ps3 had the prettiest ninja gaiden because of native 720 p while 360 pushed 640p now the one X has both higher rez and 360 style dismemberment But Ok for you contra ps2 version and nes

Movefasta19931865d ago

I do think ninja gaiden 1 and 2 are better than souls games, but they aren't even comparable

Z5011865d ago

Again. Why'd you pick BB?
Ninja Gaiden has ninja dog mode = easy
NG2 has a jump and block button
BB has none of those.

You could've picked a Devil May Cry or Bayonetta game. They're more similar to NG2 than BB.

What does PS3 have to do with this announcement? Your insecurities are showing.

Gaming4Life19811865d ago

I think they are being compared because of difficulty but I dont even think that is comparable imo. Ninja gaiden games are better though that's just facts.

Hungryalpaca1865d ago

And Forza is Better than MARIO Kart!!!!!

See how stupid that sounds?

bluebenjamin1865d ago

No Mario Kart is the best racer ever almost anyone can play

timotim1865d ago (Edited 1865d ago )

Amazing news! NG2!?!? Three Splinter Cell games!!! Fable 2&3 (the first is already enhanced)!!! This is what separates Microsoft's version of BC from others...its that they enhance both the performance and visual quality of these titles to keep them current in a lot of cases, instead of playing them exactly how they played and performed back in the day. Whats even better...I don't need to do ANYTHING but download the new patch...amazing.👏

Keep it coming Xbox!

Are the free Xbox Games With Gold titles for July 2018 any good?

Neil writes: "Every single month we hear the same old thing about the Xbox Games With Gold titles. "We don't want that rubbish - we want decent games, we want AAA blockbusters, we want something different". Well, the free Xbox 360 and Xbox One titles being given away during the month of July pretty much tick those boxes. What's the chances there will still be complaints?"

Tom clancy and virtua fighter are great death sqaured is pretty cool idk about assualt

lxeasy2155d ago

Splinter cell conviction is great, vf 5 is fun. Haven't played the other two so I'm excited to try them out.

ApexWolf222155d ago

Great month for 360 titles, X1 titles remind me of early days when all they gave away were indies, I hope they dont start doing that again.

AG1002155d ago

at least you can play the 360 games on xb1 too lol

Goldby2154d ago

Now that there's gamepass, expect bugger AAA to have priority in that, more money for both the dev and Ms more likely

yomfweeee2155d ago

I though Plus was lackluster this month. Gold is way worse.

BQ322155d ago

Vf5 fs is the best fighting game of all time abd backwards compatible, so it is a huge win in my book.

annoyedgamer2155d ago

No these are pretty awful. Virtua Fighter is great and so is Splinter Cell but those are 360 titles.

lxeasy2154d ago

so what if there 360 titles it's still awesome

A new Tom Clancy adventure can be enjoyed on Xbox One due to Back Compat – Is it worth the return?

Carlos writes: "Xbox Backwards Compatibility has shown a strong start to 2018 with a number of top titles being made available to play on Xbox One, but whilst this week doesn’t bring quite as many new arrivals as the past few weeks, there is still one addition for us to get stuck into once more... and it’s one that’s sure to prove a popular addition."

TheRealHeisenberg2294d ago

No confusion at all. Just another game added to the list if anyone gets nostalgic.

Vectrexer2294d ago

Are we confused? We get games that we've been enjoyed before at no cost to us!

C-H-E-F2295d ago

"new"? an "old" Tom Clancy Adventure can be enjoyed on xbox one due to back capat is worth the return"

*Fixed*
