Hacksaww Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Yeah, if there are no modding tools, this game will get old really fast: 5 mp maps is a pretty big ripoff for those of us that buy games for the multiplayer aspect of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_ST Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Hmmm this game gets more and more problems, so far we have to have a newish graphics card, then we have to wait for dedicated servers, then we have to wait for DM sttye Mp, now they saying no mod tools. This is not looking good i know its a if, however i have ordered upgrades for my pc, maybe i should cancel for now. Arghhhhhhhhhhhh lol. Wish Grin were here to maybe clarify some things.

deleyt Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Well, you have developer saying one thing and publisher saying another. It's most likely just one hand not talking to the other. Happens all the time. Just wait it out. ← One hand's talking Swedish, the other one is talking french Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druac_Blaise Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I agree...but its UBI we are tralking about, the "IF" factor in regards to UBI is BIG. Leave it to UBI to throw a wrench in the cog right at release. How long until GRIN is back in the saddle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destructo Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Ok, if this is true. Let's look at the facts. 1) The game is not made for the casual gamer as their system can't handle it. (the casual gamer does NOT have an uber system, nor can they typically afford it. They also make up a vast portion of the gaming market. (and when you put everything to low you still get poor framerates..not to mention it looks ugly. Why would I play an ugly, buggy game when I can play BF2 with 64 players on my crappy system and it still looks very nice??) 2) No mod tools...means people into modding or enjoy playing mods will likely not buy it. (myself included being as I fall into both of these categories) Do these guys LIKE shooting themselves in the foot? Or do they actually think they are going to get enough hardcore gamers with super systems (very small minority mind you) to make a profit of this thing?

PONDLIFE Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 (edited) Did'nt Bo confirm on here that there would be an SDK to be released, but it wasnt ready to ship with the final game as it needed to be made a bit more user friendly ???? Whats going on ? Got to agree, although i love the single player mode its going to shorten the life span of the game to a few months before people move on. Maybe; just maybe, UBI are talking out their a#se......LETS HOPE! Edited May 1, 2006 by PONDLIFE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaModel Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 (edited) In the end it is the publisher who decides what and when to release expansions/patches and mod tools. The developers unfortunately are not the ones who is in charge in these matters so regardless of what grin has said in the past I would rather hear something officially from ubisoft than grin. I highly doubt that there won't be any mod tools so I would not worry about that. It probaly will come after the first patch where they'll fix prone aiming and other things hopefully.

IF this is true, they built a game as they have said that will only run to full potential on "future" systems. Yet, they wont have anything to keep people playing it in the future. Most of the things most of us gamers consider to be "standard" things to be put in any game released in this day and age aren't included. Our last hope was modding tools to at least be able to add the stuff they didnt get time to or just neglected to. Like more MP modes, Maps, modding in options for the game etc. Now if this is true, without even having the option to do any of that ourself. We have a very basic MP game with pretty graphics.

It's a great engine (ok a resource eater like a starving goat) but seems a shame coz this game is gagging for MODS for future fun!

slipRock Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 A qoute from Bo: The editor is a thing we will keep updating as we go and as need arises from the community. The first step will come just a few weeks after the release when we give you the first version of it. It is the same as we use in development and thus needs to be made more user friendly before release. Right up until now it has been worked with and on so it wont be in the box from scratch. I trust the modders to be online though and able to download it pretty fast - you don't have to wait long at all - you won't have completed the game until we hit you with it. Found here:http://www.ghostrecon.net/forums/index.php...ic=32998&hl=sdk Also, from a devchat in december: <KS-Grizzli[ModoFR]> Will you provide a SDK? [ +Ulf ] We cannot reveal that information as of now, but it's in the works. =) http://www.ghostrecon.net/forums/index.php...ic=29366&hl=sdk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's still in the creation stage. All I know is...they have to get it out soon. The game has a lot going against it...the SDK would really help it's stance.

Deosl Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 With all respect to Mr.Girard, he mostly sounds like a broken record in these Q&A's. Theres barely any new information given out. Always the same stuff, then again this depends on the question he is given. The funny thing is that he talks about the map, sound & visual effects editor. Like John says, publisher & devs. different things In the end, I fully trust GRIN in what they claim. I mean, they have yet to misslead us on anything... Bo will probly clear this mess up at release... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The news makes me a little paranoid...but the Devs do seem to be more vocal than most dev teams...the fact that they interact with the community shows they at least CARE about their product.

Guest Tech Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 What the Do we all look like a bunch of naive idiots? Either someone is playing games with us, or some other person is badly informed...

My computer can run it fine, and it's by no means 'uber'. I bought it for 1000 dollars last year, and I run in medium. I'd say one of two things happened: 1- Ubi has decided they don't need mod tools, and Grin will be instructed not to make them. 2- Miscommunication between the devs and the publishers, and we'll have them soon.

ruggbutt Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I hope Girard is mistaken or he spoke out of context. But it wouldn't surprise me one bit if this is all we get and UBI moves on to other titles while putting the kibosh on the m/p patch and whatever else was on the table.

Parabellum Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 As much as a lot of us like what we've seen, we must remember one thing: The game is published by Ubi, and they do NOT have a good track record when it comes to modding. /shrug Perhaps the folks from GRIN will come through for us though.

Druac_Blaise Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Isn't GR4 on the horizion Seriously tho, I think we will get it. ← LOL...Don't even go there!!! If UBI did pull the rug out from under GRIN and we didn't get the things that GRIN has promised and/or alluded to, I would say it is time for another class-action suit with GRIN involved on the plaintiff’s side. As careful as GRIN seemed to be about what they did or did not talk about, I can’t imagine them saying it without the prior OK from UBI. They would be shooting themselves in the foot big time. And that would cause their current reputation with the fan community to plummet in a big way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
