You know something has gone wrong when the unique mechanic in your game is sand.

[Eskill]

It can be good, or it can be bad.

We'll see soon enough.

The trailer certainly didn't impress me. Looks very generic and kinda like Army of Two.

[garry]

Looks terrible

[Protocol7]

"Gamechanger" = useless gimmick

[Jo The Shmo]

when i played the demo i could tell what they were trying to do with sand and it just wasnt impressive

in fact its literally the worst game i have ever played

[Haste!]

I don't think a trailer has ever made me want a game less than when I first heard about it.

This looks awful.

Snipers can turn invisible? Nope. They're already retarded enough in fps games (Im looking at you BF3)

[Skyward]

Egh... The sand thing sounds cool on paper, but not only does it look like it isn't even executed well, it sounds like it'll be forgotten about immediately and not be a "game-changer" by any stretch of the imagination.

Sand...
Sandstorms, sand avalanches, sand traps...
They could make a few cool things out of it, but I just see them fail.

[Sharker]

Slipping, sliding, sandstorms, maybe quick sand? That's all I can think of, and it doesn't sound fun.

That story... Wow, thats.. Thats pretty fucking bad.

[cqbcat]

I might try this out. It doesn't have to be special. Just have good maps, good weapons, good aiming system, and no gaming breaking bugs.

I played the demo at The Gadget Show live.
It was ridiculously generic and all the characters cursed in almost every sentence.

[Juggernog]

Looks insanely generic, but it doesn't look awful, per say. It just looks... average, mediocre.

its so much worse than you could ever imagine

the full version of that just randomly flashes pictures of meat and rats and boobs and monster trucks and it doesn't make any sense at all

at one point youre supposed to rappel down a cliff and one of the characters lets out an unenthusiastic "wheeeee....." and the other one says "what are you doing....?" and the first says "just trying to lighten the mood.............>>>" and its supposed to be witty dialogue

and then you kill people who look different than you

[rrkpp_]

the exiles and the damned lmao

the fact that these are AAA games made by industry professionals funded by probably millions of dollars blows my fucking mind

[Scotty.]

Meh

[werewolf0020]

[y0haN]

This game literally looks like Gears of War with CoD skins.

Don't understand why the game just offhandedly explains that the US sends in their army to evacuate people

The UAE has their own army and they are probably much better prepared for dealing with sandstorms
