Derek Smart has gone on the attack against Brett Todd in his blog for a recent GameSpot review.
Excerpt: "GameSpot has used me – as they do others they haven't played nice with – as their whipping boy for years. Of course it doesn't help that in one of their shady publisher dealings, back in 2003 they actually went to the extent of running an altered version of an interview that I did with them for a previous publisher. And without my permission. I only found out about it when I read their version. I asked them to take it down, they refused. So I immediately did what I always do in situations like this. I shoved my attorney in both their face and my then publisher's (the now out of business Dreamcatcher Interactive) and subsequently posted the original version online. Then sent out a press release about its availability and detailed the circumstances of what they'd done. That was the last time that I had any sort of direct contact with GameSpot."
My warface is a Max Payne-style smirk with a hint of Nicolas Cage crazy-eyes. Crytek’s Warface, however, is a CryEngine 3-based free-to-play war shooter. The game, which is curiously not called “WarCry,” is currently live in Russia, and we’ve been hearing for a while that it’ll come our way soon — probably before the end of the year. {Tyler Wilde}
This is the Russian version and it is 100% playable and F2P! I haven't paid any attention to the microtransactions yet. Just getting a feel for the game.
The Graphics are Great making Warface nice to look at. I've played for about an hour and it feels like Call of Duty meets Crysis just like the article says. It's gonna take me more playing time to get a good feel for it. I've been playing Firefall and Tribes Ascend so Warface is a complete 180 from those two titles.
It's a great way to get some instant Run n Gun in for those who love going Rambo so two thumbs up in that department. Click start and just start shooting, no strategy no flags just BANG BANG your Dead lol.
Yeah, it's free2play. But you have to pay for the more powerful guns, ammo, knives, grenades, vehicles, health packs, etc. So in a way, you'll end up paying more money than if this was just released as a god-damn retail title.
At least that's what I heard.
I have been playing a lot of F2P(done right) games lately and have not payed a dime. I am now starting to feel bad for the developers. Might buy something soon.
Honestly why even bother lying anymore? Just call it the "Pay to win" model and be done.....
This is correct.
There is no such thing as a free-2-play game, only a free-and-lose game.
If you want to have a good natured and competitive gaming experience, you will either have to fork over large amounts of money, or learn Brazilian Portuguese.
Armchair General writes: "All Aspect Warfare is a study in overcoming adversity. As its story opens, you and a team of soldiers are alone, on foot and unsupported on a hostile world. You are surrounded by adversaries, and charged with finding a nuclear device within the next 24 hours somewhere within a 400-square-kilometer area – and with no idea of where to begin."
Developer 3000AD has announced a week-long sale for their action shooter titles All Aspect Warfare and Angle of Attack. Both games are now available on Steam at 50% off their standard price.
