trounbyfire4736d ago

microsoft just said it uses a controller and kinect but yeah looks ewwwww

Rainstorm814736d ago

who would want to play this with a controller...or with kinect for that matter.

The gameplay looked very laggy and unresponsive, and quite frankly not that fun at all

Myze4736d ago (Edited 4736d ago )

Considering the kid games looked ok for kids, I would have to say this was the worst looking game at Microsoft's conference (not talking about graphics, which were actually ok).

It had terribly slow response times, it's on rails, the game feels distant from the story world of Star Wars (as in, just a SW skin to appease fans, and connecting it to Star Wars and giving it that feel should have been easy considering the short amount of time shown). The only thing that could be kind of cool is the pod racing.

I noticed some pretty bad lag between action and response too. It really is sad that Kinect can only seem to do on-rails. Especially since I have Kinect and have been waiting for something a little more impressive than what is available right now.

And going forward in-game by doing a chest-bumping action?

...really?

Adva4736d ago

I saw a delay in action/reaction ;|

DJMarty4736d ago (Edited 4736d ago )

trounbyfire4736d ago

Wolfenstein: The New Order Is The Last Of Its Kind

Wolfenstein: The New Order turns ten years old today, so we decided to play it again and discovered just how much of an extinct kind of game it is.

It's an outstanding game and so was The Old Blood. Also a lost era of gaming. Interesting, I received a physical copy of The Old Blood 9 years ago today from Poland. It was digital only in North America initially upon release so I had to import.

Wolfenstein: The New Order - A Highly Rated FPS That Hasn't Stood the Test of Time

Wolfenstein: The New Order launched 10 years ago today, but can it stand up to the modern FPS titles it inspired?

Seth_hun2d ago

I disagree. Its still a fantastic game, with very good gunplay and a surprisingly loveable cast of characters and a good story trough many different and interesting setpieces

hiawa232d ago (Edited 2d ago )

All The New Order needs for my tastes is a this gen enhancement patch.

ChasterMies2d ago

I played New Order a couple of years after launch and I give it an 8/10. The shooter holds up because it is focused on being a good shooter. There is no crafting, no RPG elements, no open world find the question mark Weapons are fun. Enemies are fun. Levels offer a nice mix of stealth and shooting. You get to be the predator; this isn’t a game about fending off waves of enemies while a robot companion unlocks a door. Most importantly, New Order is the last of a dying breed of single player shooters.

Skuletor2d ago

Singleplayer shooters are still getting released every year, just look up "boomer shooters" and you'll find an an abundance of them. AAA fps campaigns, not so much.

Last year had Trepang2, RoboCop: Rogue City, Turbo Overkill, Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, Dread Templar, Sprawl and more

DustMan2d ago

The games you mentioned are not from AAA developers. Wolfenstein likely had a budget that was probably as big as all those games you mentioned combined. I'm not knocking the new wave of retro shooters. I absolutely love them (I think some get much higher review scores than they deserve though). I just really wouldn't describe Wolfenstein as purely a boomer shooter based on the relatively cohesive story, with cut scenes and is fully voice acted. Full set piece moments.

AA development seems to be focused keeping the single player solo experience alive. But the big developers are only concerned about the MTX and milking players who enjoy multiplayer.

ChasterMies2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

The age of AA shooters. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing. I like less expense, shorter games.

Abear212d ago

Weird all the Wolfenstein articles.

Can you guess what will be announced at Xbox showcase?

DefenderOfDoom22d ago

What Machine Games did with Wolfenstein franchise is awesome. The game play definitely to me , is still very fun to play !!!
