It looks alright. You can't tell much from the trailer except that it's a third person tactical shooter.

Chuck-Norris5257d ago

am i the only one TIRED of war games?

Kalowest5257d ago (Edited 5257d ago )

True, but you could see some of the actual game, has some of GeoWs gameplay.

atleast this was in game everything else was stupid CGI.

cyberwaffles5257d ago

wow, this looks pretty slick. i'm interested.

GameGambits5257d ago

Gears of War 3 Modern Warfare? Lol. Just kidding. :P

Nothing to really get excited for yet here, but at least it didn't look as craptastic as Deadliest Warrior the game. Heck even the new Medal of Honor game looked like a destined turd in Fall 2010.

Good job Geoff on REALLY over hyping what these trailers were going to show off this year.

No resistance 3 and no Dead Space 2 = 100% fail.

jalen2475257d ago

I agree. Looks good to me! But how well will it play...hmmm...

Serjikal_Strike5257d ago

good...love the trailer!
didn't see this one coming!

Sarcasm5257d ago

I thought it looked pretty good. It does some things right like big set pieces, character animations and colro palette. Keeping this one on the radar.

deadpoole5257d ago

Definately gonna get it ... all this footage was ingame ... definitely goin to get it.

Im damn sure story of this game is gonna be amazin with lots of twists ... this game is bein developed by worthy developers ... definately this game is gonna be awesome.

Microsoft Xbox 3605257d ago (Edited 5257d ago )

The only war game I'm buying next year is BC2. For the love of God, I love the beta.

BTW... The video is down.

Hisiru5257d ago

Looks very good!

STK0265257d ago

it looks okay. I wonder why anyone thought about rebooting the spec ops franchise in the first place, I guess it's because they hope we forgot about how bad the games were and thought the name was cool.

Also, why were the VGAs filled by franchise reboots? MoH, Spec ops, True crime and PoP are all getting reboots, which is particularly strange for the latter, since it was rebooted last year...

Rev Jesse Custer5257d ago

how many Modern Warfare inspired games do we really need?

likedamaster5256d ago (Edited 5256d ago )

I agree, it's the first thing I said when I first saw the trailer. It looks highly realistic, in 3rd person, goes to over-shoulder when you aim, etc. Looks really good, I'm looking forward to it.

PS fans desperately looking for some technical achievement they now can't sense true immersion & gameplay innovation(not technically, please stop).

PS. @ Saaking, damn you've come a long way. +bubbles

interesting that it's in dubai but sadly it doesn't look like the quality is that of mw2 or even medal of honor.

the medal of honor trailer looked good for the first trailer, thus It has me interested. Just hope they can stick with the bar that mw2 has seem to have raised in terms of modern warfare games.

Caffo015257d ago

rofl doesn' t look the quality of mw2?bar raised?...the bar hasn't been raised since MW...MW2 is just an overpriced DLC..

deadpoole5257d ago

Modern Warfare 2 an epic failure when it comes to online experience and graphics with latest streamin tech sub-hd resolution 600p (less then 720p) an epic failure.

MAG which supports 256players online is having 720p rez.

Seriously I dont see any streamin tech which IW was blabberin about ... all I can see is low rez graphics carried over from MW1 or COD3 or COD2.

Seriously as said above by brother ... an overpriced, overhyped DLC!!!.

Lavalamp5257d ago (Edited 5257d ago )

Looks very promising. I'd like to hear more about how much the sand will affect the gameplay. Is it an actual mechanic?

Edit: The video title says "Xbox 360." Is this a console exclusive?

villevalorox5257d ago (Edited 5257d ago )

yep, looks amazing :)

kewlkat0075257d ago (Edited 5257d ago )

I think I'm gonna chill in 2010 with War games. Hopefully some good Action/RPGs will keep me company.

EA wants a piece of someones pie. This game does look good though

I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.

EvertonFC72d ago (Edited 72d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga72d ago

Yes great game spec ops! Since the time we’ve been asking sony to make one:/

Auto Modelista.. a PS2 capcom racer!! A blast to play and great graphics!
Maximo!
Rival Schools!

LordoftheCritics72d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend72d ago

all the games in the above list are bang on. this is the only reason we need backwards compatibility and physical presense of games for the upcoming future, no matter what.

Yi-Long72d ago

Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.

melons72d ago

yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring

Skuletor72d ago

I really wanted a MotorStorm using the same engine, Driveclub is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and I'm surprised they didn't even give it a PS4 Pro patch.

ravens5271d ago

Yes indeed. May just install it on my PS5. You know, physical copy and all.

monkey60271d ago

I adored Driveclub and the Bike expansion. I also loved Motorstorm. Evolution shutting down was a crime

Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.

Skuletor72d ago

I have quite a few of these. Timed licenses suck.

Terry_B72d ago (Edited 72d ago )

wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.

Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.

Spec-Ops: The Line - A 'Typical' Shooter With Horrifying Hidden Depths

A stellar work of sobering proportions, Spec-Ops: The Line is an outstanding third-person shooter that on first glance conceals its hidden depths.

It's really a shame that the Spec Ops reboot didn't continue into a series. Obviously the story in The Line is over. But each game could have delved into the different psychological effects of war as well as exploring different takes on Heart of Darkness. In a sea of mindless military shooters it was nice to finally play a shooter that actually had something to say.

EazyC92d ago

This game was the last of a dying breed, a signifier of where shooter games (and videogames more broadly) COULD have gone if developers didn't pivot so hard into the online services, micro transaction, season pass, yada yada.

New narrative territory exploring the actual art form of gaming and storytelling within it.

Yui_Suzumiya91d ago

A brilliant depiction into what war can really do to a person and doesn't glorify it in any way.

Psychonaut8591d ago

I heard this game might be getting delisted, which is a travesty, this is one that should be preserved forever

Puty91d ago

I think the title was unfortunate - it was when Moder Warfare got big so I assumed it was yet another clone. Fortunately, because ps plus I checked out this gem of a game.
