jsonedecker Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 You guys remember when you played a mission in GR, you carefully considered every step, plotting and planning every movement over wide and varying terrain in order to have the upper hand on a challenging and often unforgiving enemy? What happened to that? That feeling of tension you felt, knowing that any wrong move could often prove fatal? That tension is long gone for me. As I bound from objective to objective, encountering the same scenario of a group of guys waiting to ambush me in one direction, just so that I can blow something up and then run off to my next task of 10 in a mission, I can't help but feel like a high-speed errand boy. It would seem these days players are content with scripted sequences and lots of incompetant enemies. ......... Remember when you used to praise GR for it's realism and attention to detail? I used to be quite impressed with the detailed textures and models, most of them modeled directly from real loadouts currently used in the field. Yeah, the game was set in the near future, but what was really catching was GR's similarity to present-day combat. ess. Those days aren't over, they are just taking a vacation. The premise and execution of the GRAW games is great, but evolved a considerable amount, in my opinion, from the originals. The same can be said for the R6 series as well. That original design philosophy and love of the core gameplay mechanics are alive and well in one particular place. Stay tuned. -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a few pints of some Bavarian brew is always good. Anyway, things are a little rougher around the edges and harder to get rolling when you don't have a big corporate machine backing you up, but you will see all in due time. -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it is PC first.... 360 second, depending of lots of variables, but PC is where we are stationed. Can't deny the console potential, but we are aiming for a particular market and not the carpet bombing approach. We are going to be a little quiet for a bit more, so hopefully we can get together what we are trying to. Go enjoy Vegas, GRAW or whatever you are playing now and start keeping your eyes peeled for a covert and previously classified unit to peek thier head out of the shadows. Totaly obscure hint........

Just know that you've got your hands full against ArmA... 2007 should be a GREAT year for the gamer, it seems... Are you taking preorders already jsone? Hehe... No, no pre-orders yet. Unless of course you can wait awhile for it. ArmA is looking really really good, but I would say what I am working on is somewhat different. I never thought [GR] and OPF were "direct" competitors, in the sense that something like Rogue Spear and SWAT3 were. [GR] and OPF attracted the same types of customers, but the gameplay was different enough, to me at least, to warrent buying both games and getting a different experience from both. So, after that long winded intro, the same holds true for what I am working on and ArmA. Besides, I would expect to see my project available for some time still. We have a nice in depth and interesting storyline, subject matter and of course a certain style of design and gameplay that I can easily be associated with. I come form 2 classic franchises so one could easily assume that any of my own projects would pull heavily from the design styles that I hold so true to what I love about gaming. There, I said to much. Happy Holidays to everyone. -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's hoping for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZJJ Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 This was moved here as I get the sense that BFS is working on something that will tickle our fancy. With the discussion here it won't get lost amongst the GR/GRAW topics. Who knows, maybe this will become the ideal shooter we requested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsonedecker Posted December 29, 2006 Author Share Posted December 29, 2006 I see we landed a secluded spot on GR.net. Anyway, I want to come out and make it clear that I still have the utmost respect for Red Storm Entertainment and those people that make it tick. They have choosen to take thier franchises in successful directions. Wether those here believe it or not. I wish them much success and good fortune in the future. However, to me personally, there are certain key gameplay and design elements that are missing in today's Tactical Shooters/Sims that were so captivating in the "old days". I am of the character and mental makeup that if there isn't something out there that serves my needs then make it yourselve. So, BlackFoot Studios was formed 2 years ago. The time is becoming right to try to branch out and develop a game that fills what we percieve as a generously sized hole in the market. Is it a mass market sell 2 million units hole? Probably not. But that is not our goal. I did not start BFS to take the carpet bombing approach to game development and try to sell a copy to every man, women and child. BFS was started to make the games that I like to play and can no longer buy. Hopefully others feel the same way so that we can make a living and play the games we love. More to come as things start to come together. -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowFella Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Does indeed sound interesting...although the fact that the idea and concept is there is hardly news to certain members of another forum Even sparked interest enough in me to start thinking about putting whatever skills I have on offer if there was interest for em, nowadays I've moved on though so... Keep us posted John...make something that will blow both GR:AW and ArmA out of the water! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
