Tech2: WarDevil Impressions

WarDevil was announced way back in E3 2006 (or was it E3 2005?) as a PlayStation 3 exclusive but after that, it sort of vanished from the horizon due to certain financial issues. Now with UTV backing the game, developer Ignition have gone back to the drawing board to come up with a brand new game and engine from scratch that should hit the Xbox360 and PS3 sometime later next year.

1.1 - This site is FALSE informed
first it was shown for the orginal xbox, than 1 year later it went Multiplat for next gen Consoles (PS3/360), and 1 year later it was PS3 exclusive, and now there are Rumors that Wardevil went Multi Again.

well EDGE is saying the same if i am not mistaken, that it is multiplatform now.
Like i said multiplatform - dumbed down. Still interested to see what it is

1.3 - I agree
Once a game goes from being PS3 exclusive to "multiplatform" I lose interest beacause it will have been dumbed down so as not to hurt the 360 fanbases' feelings

I still believe it still could be exclusive. Two reasons.

1 Everything we heard about multiplat was only speculation and everyones acting like its a foregone conclusion.

2 How many action adventure games on XB are 1080p@60fps? No one even tries to do that on XB.

probably get shown again @ E3 2010 still exclusive to PS3. 360 can't handle games like that, with the trailers Ive seen.

When it was multi platform no one talked about this game. When this game became exclusive to PS3 it was hyped to godly levels. Now that it's multi platform again it's too hyped and crap? lol

The game would have never been hyped if it wasn't for PS3 fans and supporting media hyping it using the game as an tool to boast PS3. http://xbox360.ign.com/arti...

"360 can't handle games like that, with the trailers Ive seen."

You mean the build for both consoles shown on PC years ago?

i own a ps3 and i WAS hyped for the game. but now, not really. and it has nothing to do with whether or not it's multiplat.

the game has taken so long to develop. and there have been way too many questions surrounding it's development.
if this article is to be believed......they started development over from scratch last year? why? what little has been shown of the game in the past several years has been amazing. there was no need to start over. they say the game is looking "better than ever"......but the new screens off the wardevil site don't look very good. then, there is the decision to show this game "behind closed doors only" at TGS 2009? why? they should be showing it to the gaming public. there is something odd going on with wardevil.

i'm no longer expecting much from the game (if it's ever released) due to so many strange decisions being made concerning it's development.

edit: disagree all you want.....wardevil looks to be another "too human" - a long development journey to mediocrity.

When I said just like haze I meant that. First it was mulitplatform; pc, xbox 360 and ps3, then it shift towards the ps3. Then the devs started saying it was the halo killer and touted this game will be so good that if you didn't enjoy it they would refund your money back. What happened, they flopped hard.

Silly delusional 360 fanboy. Nobody cares because we haven't seen a god damn thing relating to this title aside from screens. Maybe when we see some in-game footage, we can bring ourselves to care.

They're disagreeing I've been keeping up with this game since 2005 when I first read about it on Team Xbox.

Perhaps the disagree-ers can post the media history of this game for me and show why I'm wrong;)

No one talked about it until the devs announced it was PS3 exclusive and started talking about 1080p, 60FPS,Movie experience-mumbo jumbo and that is when Pro Sony media and PS3 fanboys went to town boasting and bashing.

Yea, I bet people were hyped for this game until it dragged on for 5 years with no new or updated information aside from the odd screenshot or two, so why on earth would people be excited now?

WTF are you talking about?

Anyways that seemed to hit home what I said in my comment #1.11 lol

The game isn't that hyped the only thing that was ever hyped about it is when PS3 fans boasted PS3 because this game is suppose to sport 1080p 60fps. Your cry baby attacks won't change anything. Just stop! and dry those tears, will ya...

The only one crying here is you though. Mostly false tears and claiming to be a victim when you're really the one stirring up the sh!t.

Told him how I disagreed and why, simple as that. You guys not being to handle it isn't my problem lol. Much different type of response coming from you guys. Do you understand?

Too much passion and emotion with you guys with little logic.

"multiplatform - overhyped meh game"

That remark would be interpreted as bitter malice and anger to most adults in other words he's angry that the game went multi platform(children express dislike or frustration in this manner)

Well I hope you understand that(grasp what I said)

1.18 - I still care about this game, not because I currently have the same amount of consoles...
...but the real thing about this story is what everyone is talking about: the rumor.

IGN stated according to their sources it went multiplatform,

HipHopgamer stated according to their sources it didn't go multiplatform, but couldn't confirm 100%.

The gaming industry went along with IGN's sources and are currently saying that the game went multiplatform WITHOUT confirming whether it did or didn't (as far as I read... if anyone had definitive proof and will post it, thanks!)

So for me, it's a battle of gaming sources, and since No one got Digi-Guys to state one way or another (as far as I read) it will be an interesting few weeks until we know for sure.

Yeah, I'm a geek that way, but I'm trying my best to have fun with the news instead of not being one way or another with this rumor.

P.S.;

if the game is 1080p with 60FPS, who actually loses; especially since we actually don't know how long the game originally was in the first place?

If it's great, enjoy it for what it is; maybe the next game they make will be exclusive to one console or the other... depending on how much money they make on which console.

Maybe some more information for you guys..... but....

If you visit the recruitment page on the wardevil website it lists a few categories.

One of the categories is....

Code Team (PS3) but there isn't a code team 360.

Either they have a full team of 360 developers already or they don't have a need for them because it's still exclusive.

Not sure.

*EDIT* well guys, to me it still looks ps3 exclusive.

On all the job listings under the PS3 code team it sais "newly announced game for the PS3" Nothing about newly announced game for ps3 and xbox.

Hmmmm..... I wish everyone could read this far down. Maybe ill give the heads up to someone to post it.

I agree with I did not murder him.

Although I only own a PS3 (so don't attempt to call me an xbox fanboy) on principle he seems to be in the right. The first few comments do seem pretty childish, whereas his gave a reasoned explanation for his dislike of how people were saying it will be overhyped now its going to 360.

He then gets loads of ridiculous stupid comments bringing up forza 3 (which i hear the demo is actually quite good)

it seems impossible to be a 360 owner in this environment, I feel for you buddy.

2 - The screens are old
The screenshots they used for their preview are hella old. Like from 2005.

Anyways, I found this part interesting from their preview:

"WarDevil takes place in the distant future and we aren’t too sure of what the plot’s all about but I’m sure it’s the same post-apocalyptic war scenario we’ve seen umpteen times till date. We saw a bunch of humans locked in a battle with robotic creatures and I couldn’t help but shake the whole Killzone 2 vibe I was getting with the game’s art style and overall visuals."

Catch that they are comparing Wardevil's visuals to Killzone 2? That's quite a feat.

Well, I think they are referring to the art-style or the overall feel of the game. I don't think it's possible for Wardevil to run at 60 frames per second and have the same graphical fidelity as Killzone 2 because when you double the frames per second, you halve the amount of polygons that can appear on screen each second.

3 - so the game exists good deal it's on my radar
and yes it's now multiplatform.. They had to make it that way because they have a new publisher, Ignition software ran out of money to cover dev cost, so the game went into the shadow acorrding to the article i read a few days ago. but yes, I'm glad the game is tsill alive...

"New engine," are they suggesting the rt1000 or whatever the hell it was called that was being specifically designed for the PS3 has been dropped...

So basically, they have started over on almost 90 percent of what the game was with the exception of perhaps story, art style and so forth?

5 - i like it when dev push the console of their choice....
if this game goes multiplateform; i will not be buying it. the ps3 has 50g and 360 has 9g. when the game comes out and it is on one ps3 disc/360 disc something is a foot!!! i have not seen one 360 "exclusive" push their console.... forza might be a good game but no daylight cycles and the game is build on hitting circles.... to me that not pushing your console. i am waiting on the word multiplatform to decide if i buy or rent!!! i hope the word comes out soon!!!!

6 - Wait a minute,
the game has been in development for so long and they still haven't had the opportunity to implement basic AI for demonstration purposes!? Sorry, but the more I hear about it still being in early stages (since 2005 or 06 whatever), the more I loose faith in it. Just show us something solid.

if multi-platform or ps3 exclusive this game has taken so long, im not holding out much hope for this game to be anygood.

i still think this is going the same way as sadness on Wii.

@rbluetank

U don't own a 360 so how do u know about Forza is just one button driving. I mean it was created to attract more casual players, but if you are hardcore racer, you do more than just a button (you actually have to use everything, from manual shifting and clutch, gas pedal, hand brake, etc......just to barely make it through a tough corner. Your example proves how much u know about 360 or anything for that matter. If any of you guys are as brainless as he was, press disagree.
