The good news is they can't possibly make it worse than the game

I think it might work out better as a movie than a game really.
Concept was so damn refreshing, it's a shame they didn't execute it as well as it could've been.
it wasn't a bad game, I meet the developers they were really nice and had good ambitions but there publisher forced them to release early :(
[QUOTE=Watevaman;20176717]Concept was so damn refreshing, it's a shame they didn't execute it as well as it could've been.[/QUOTE] Yeah. I was pretty interested in this game until I actually saw footage.
I thought the game was awesome. And the concept would work really well in a movie.
[QUOTE=redwinterwol;20176731]it wasn't a bad game, I meet the developers they were really nice and had good ambitions but there publisher forced them to release early :([/QUOTE] Really? Did they tell you what they envisioned/couldn't do because of the publisher rush?
I just hope they are going to pick a title that doesn't sound as awkward as some eastern European reading a script.
This movie is gonna die faster than shit through a goose.

[QUOTE=DarkWolf2;20176938]Really? Did they tell you what they envisioned/couldn't do because of the publisher rush?[/QUOTE] There was a whole character arch that came together at the end of the game it was supposed to be like a sci fi mystery relly :/
It can't be worse than the game
[QUOTE=KaIibos;20176692]The good news is they can't possibly make it worse than the game[/QUOTE] Well, if your not too picky, the game honestly wasn't that bad.
[QUOTE=bud389;20177685]Well, if your not too picky, the game honestly wasn't that bad.[/QUOTE] uninspired story (the SETTING is cool, but the story is badly written and badly told) bad dialogue (or lack thereof) HORRIBLE ai bland visuals (there's no point in having a fourteen thousand acre battlefield if it's all copy and pasted) stupid plot holes (how does this dude from the nineteenth century magically know how to operate and maintain a wide variety of non-period weapons? Why is he even forced into the situation in the first place? I would think that a specially trained agent from the future would be a much better candidate for preserving history) For all the potential it had, they didn't really make any effort to differentiate the game from any other FPS, except the setting, which by itself isn't enough.
I honestly didn't mind the game, and I think it could make a decent film if done well.
