Hockeystick Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 (edited) Anyone remember the article (aftonbladet) from Sweden that was posted here by some Swede? They had interviewed Bo who said: - You can only talk about "Switch" and "GRAW 1". - GRAW 1? So there is a GRAW 2? "Bo grins" If you wonder what "Switch" is, it's a new game they are working on EDIT: Ahh, here is the article. BTW, I thought it was obvious why they call the game GRAW 2, I mean, It's a sequel of GRAW And you can't really call it GR4 since the second game was never released to PC. And that's also the reason why they named the game "Advanced Warfighter" in the first place. Think about it!

Sup Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Is GRIN involved ? I hope not I do too, for their sake. Dealing with you guys again? Even I got an offer, I'd outright refuse. There's gotta' be another big franchise to work one somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysander Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I tried the Rainbow6 Vegas demo on xbox360, and guess what, plenty of jaggies. Seems like AA does not work on this game either. Vegas uses Unreal Engine 3.0, and I remember from reading somewhere that Gears of War will also not be able to do AA, using same engine. The funny thing is, the game still looks great, but if you visit some xbox forums, kids are already screaming for their AA. While claim "no aa in ue3" is true (for now, at least), i find very little jaggies on those two titles. Perhaps Epic is creating sharpnes in UE3 with downsampling. rb6 gowmp gowsp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cangaroo.TNT Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Get used to new PC games demanding high-end hardware, or go get a console and stop complaining. You can't have it both ways; you cannot expect consumers to choose a PC over a console version if the PC version is not appealing. GRAW is stone age compared to SCDA. And that happened in what? 7 months since the release of GRAW? If you upgraded your computer to limp along with GRAW, you probably won't be able to play SCDA at all: SCDA: OS: Windows® XP (only) CPU: 3 Ghz Pentium® 4 or AMD Athlon™ 3000 (3.5 Ghz Pentium 4 or Athlon 3500 recommended).

To be honest, no one can refute that there are a few games coming out in the next few months for 360 which will be a blast. Sure it will take a while to get used to the controller. Eventually, there will be great games coming out for PC too once Vista ships. I think Microsoft will make a lot more $$ with Vista than with 360, so the focus will shift to PC games once again sometime next year.

Hockeystick Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Just wait a few months. In some games Vista players will be able to play over Xbox Live against X360 players, now that's cool! Those kind of games are already under development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysander Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I think Microsoft will make a lot more $$ with Vista than with 360, so the focus will shift to PC games once again sometime next year. This is true, but it won`t make game for pc exclusive (except simulator and some rts).New logo is "Vista and x360" exclusive. The issue for consumer is price. Quad intel cpu will cost between 850-1000$ (This is the cpu on which alan wake was demonstrated). And don`t know for g80/r600 price, but i don`t think it will be lower than that. Anyway, 360 (multicore cpu, unified shaders gpu) is cheap, but great alternative for gaming. Enough on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PONDLIFE Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Yep it's going to be a busy year for hardware ( PC ) next year! so if GRiN continue using the diesel engine it should shine on modern PC's then and i dont think anyone will be moaning about jaggies. With all the Flack GRiN got and still does who else in their right mind would take on the challange to please us lot? They are more than half way to pleasing us all so I say let them continue because I'm sure they learnt by their mistakes, so why give it to a new developer and have all the hassle again and dissapointment to some. 2 Cents kerrrching.

V.P. Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I salute the annoncement of GRAW2. PLease make it a good game, please take the community feedback, and please make it more like GR1, and less action-oriented. I believe its possible to recover from GRAW, but it will require alot of changes, and a different mindset regarding design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Well IMO it will probs just be the same game we got now with a different camo and some new maps based out of the city! So im not expecting a whole new game with new features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightspeed Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 How many would pay for anther GRAW game or an expansion? Thats the only important question - and if UBI doesnt believe the game will sell lots of copies then they wont do it. And I dont think they'll sell much of the next product if it looks to be the same as the last version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa6 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 (edited) Incorrect Ghost Recon Ghost Recon Desert Seige expansion Ghost Recon Island Thunder Expansion Sum of all Fears (using the GR engine..flopped) Ghost Recon 2 for XBOX... DROPPED FOR PC Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter (still waiting for final fix of all fixes patch) Expansion? (possibly Christmas by santa posts but who knows) Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 (rumored) no, correct I didnt list expansions, I listed full fledges games for the pc, and only games that actually were released, as in no ghost recon 2, and Sum of all fears wasnt a gr game at all, just used the same engine. Hence(I always feel like Joey from Friends when using this word) my name-convention comparison is valid. it was like 14 months which is "more like a year" than "years" as 14 months is only 2 months away from a year but atleast 10 months away from "years". Semantics seems to be my thing today How many damn months are on the Swedish Calendar? maybe that's why GRIN was so pushed. they run 16 month years and we run 12 month. UBI got pushy and carried away. just kidding though.... Edited October 26, 2006 by Papa6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeUcEsWiLd Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I would. Maybe call me an optimist...maybe call me something vulgar... But I have really enjoyed GRAW. GRIN has been great in working with us thus far in the patches they have released, and i would buy an expansion/new GRAW the day it was released. Not everyone has been so disappointed with GRAW...

Agreed... didn't like it at 1st, but it grew on me (as i was a GR1 MP TVT player since the demo) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
