Seems like the new trend to make multiplayer only games, I love multiplayers as much as the next guy but doesn't that kinda limit your market...

DirtyRat6155d ago

I dont think so EA wouldn't make the battlefield series if it wasn't a success, and this sounds really original in terms of MP, I love the fact clans can purchase a franchise to make a real base in the world, a nice idea.

This has me very interested. I'm all for some innovation in the multiplayer arena.
Multiplayer used to be a feature tacked onto the end of developement for many single player games. Since then, there hasn't been much innovation in the way the games setup is handled.
With the rise of online gaming, I am looking forward to developers evolving the multiplayer experience with more robust features surrounding the experience.

Just what the gaming world needs another FPS......

I know I'll be getting disagrees with this one but come on! I know there are other genres out there for the systems but not as many as all these dang FPS

LeShin6155d ago

Nope, I totally agree with you! There's far too many fps coming out. Problem is, for some reason they sell well and the devs notice this so in turn they churn out more of them :(

THAMMER16155d ago

The only thing that ruins them is when devleopers go and cut and paste features or parts other games. I always get that you can not pour syrup on $#!t and call it pancakes feeling.

looks like thats the trend lately... EA and epic have been doing this but it looks like other companies have caught on including Sony. i wonder what this is about... i could use another good Multiplayer game and ofcourse the focus only on MP means they can optimize the UE3 to it's best without sacrificing quality for single player. i wonder if it will be a cross platform game or just for PCs

Why would a vehicle have windsheild wipers on mars with no rain? And if the planet is terraformed...then why is it still red? Intentionally reading way too into it.

cr33ping_death6155d ago

uhhh so cool people like you can point that kind of stuff out to others?

Rooted_Dust6155d ago

Perhaps they kept the sky red to preserve the "atmosphere" of the game, with out it the planet would seem less Mars-like. As far as the windshield wipers, it's better to have something and not need it than to need it and not have it.

thezuur6155d ago

eh... why do people release stuff like this... it only proves their project is junk.

Lord Anubis6154d ago

not much to show :( I guess I should have taken the word teaser more seriously.

DirtyRat6154d ago

If Mars was terraformed it wouldn't neccessarily mean everything was green, in fact if you've read the series of books, red mars, green mars, blue mars you'd know it would be impossible to rid the planet of the red stuff
