When a Dev team starts to hawk attention purely on Multiplayer only, it tells me they are either going for a quick easy money grab, or they have absolutely no clue what gamers really want these days.
We ALL hoped for a sp campaign for Mechwarrior, that had a mp component. Just.... like... all... the .... earlier.... Mechwarriors. But no sp campaign surfaced. When I 1st heard a new Heavy Gear was in the works? I hoped it would offer a sp campaign, and allow multiplayer as well. Just like HG 1 and 2.
I refuse to support mp only these days. Heck, I even got my Legendary Pack dough refunded from the MWO Devs, cause after giving it a try, I found I totally hated how they handled MWO. So I am holding out little hope that THIS HG, will be 1 I`ll wanna play. |

I`d love to be able to support a new Heavy Gear PC game effort, but at this time I have little faith it will be done right OR handled right. No matter the illustrious Dev Team thats` been gathered. Back in the day, I was able to win a spot on Activisions Shadow Guard Beta Squad for Heavy Gear 2.
It was an amazingly fun time (I came onboard bout midway in the Test Phase tbh). You HAD to be skilled to make the Team, cause you had to duel the Shadow Guard guys and win consistently... and then you were invited after a good showing. So it was piloting skill, as well as Bug finding. You had to have a good feel for HOW a Gear should feel when piloting in the game world.
But it was clear that no matter what suggestions we put forth to Activision, in the end... the final Release had little resemblance to what we had hoped it would be like.
For example, in this vid for this new kickstarter, 1 of the HGA Devs speaks of their Gears having a range of movement.... "this is not just some tank etc". In HG 2 we ALL were hoping that the movement FEEL and ability would remain mostly intact from the HG 2 release demo.
What Activision in their wisdom or lackthereof ended up releasing... was a Heavy Gear 2 that was literally TOO heavy feeling at Final Release. Dueling became too heavy feeling and way too cumbersome. Totally unnatural and "tank feeling". Many of us quit the game totally after that. Which was a huge kick to the swingers, especially after hanging with the Shadow Guard.
Word of advice. Tone down the bright candy colors of the Gears. hehhhe Kinda reminds me of a kids toy that the 12 and under crowd like to play with, as apposed to a Hear Gear that I`d wanna be piloting should/would look like. Hint = battlescarred... right outta the gates.
I`ll be keeping an eye on HGA tho. Ya never know, maybe this time it will be treated better than HG 2. Oh yeah, if the game at all resembles how Mechwarrior Online plays, I`ll sit this 1 out.

So.... the Rift STILL can`t do 1080P yet? It figures. Everything hinges on this Headset being able to do 1920x1080P. All the marketing B/S, and they still have not even come close to that rez barrier. So they show a few pics of the headset itself being worn, and the dude wearing em with a smile. Nice smoke and mirrors.
We have seen this before, been there done that. |

"Looks better after the 4gig patch"
The game looked marginally better. FXAA is still broken, a thing that happened AFTER the 4 gig patch update. Still not fixed. Lighting, still questionable as well. MANY of the enviros textures etc, looked dated and washed out. They need work for sure. Think Crysis 3 textures work. THAT is the quality we should be seeing here. Mind you had the much vaunted Custom Lighting System that was created JUST for A CMs, actually worked, maybe they could have gotten away with these low quality textures.
There is still time tho for GB to put out a quality texture update release. If I had to guess, I`d say they have an understudy working on the fixes.

"There was no reasons given for the downgrade, there was no excuses given,"
Had they just told everyone they had to downgrade all the visuals cause of their not being able to impliment it properly on the consoles.... they knew they`d be losing big dough. So, they just didn`t tell anyone till after the release. THIS.... is misleading.
Not to mention I have yet to play a final release that didn`t look as good or better than the preview vids. Open your eyes peeps. Many of us were able to get way better visuals just by tweaking the .inis. Which look btw that GearBox turned most of the vis settings to almost total minimal... ie almost off. Too bad when Randy P and GB shifted into "save our azz" mode, the games quality had to be the sacrificial lamb.
Not to mention the deft slight of hand of throwing TimeGate under the bus. Ahuh. Give your subcontractor no storyline, and expect them to make a sp game campaign???? And then when they don`t pull enough rabbit out of their azz at the 11th hour, your say it is all their fault??? Nice. |

| It doesn't hold water as far as work in progress goes. For 1....yes CONTENT can and does change. Visual s quality tho..... Is supposed to be as good or better at release. They could have saved the game had they not stripped it down to 2002 visuals quality. Dumbazzes. |

Well, I just popped in to Blues just now, and low and behold a vid screen to the top right edge is showing a vid "for free wicked scent oil kit visit etc etc etc". I refreshed and then Audience TV started playing.
So I hope this gets fixed. Being it is off to the right, I assume that yes it is an ad space. But ad or not, it is auto playing, and that is kinda cheap imho.

| I am getting a tad pizzed off at the small vids on the top right of the front page just starting up on their own, with no way for me to turn em off. News Bulletin.... if I wanna watch that shiz, I`LL turn it on. If this kinda thing continues, I guess I`ll have to find a different site than Blues to hang at. Too bad tho, cause I have hung here for years literally. |

I remember when I 1st saw Surveilance Cameras. It was way back years ago, when the Irish Police/Government put them up to identify Rioters/IRA types etc. I knew way back then, that it was just a matter of time till it was adopted in N America.
And yes this stuff can be put to great use against the criminal element. But it is as well is being put to great use against the average citizen. |

I still don`t get wtf Sega doesn`t allow a dev Team with a proven track record for AAA+ titles to do an Aliens type game. Nope, they had to go with Randy "Snideley whiplash" Pitchford and his Band of Cronies.
"So they're still supporting the game for those that bought it
That's actually pretty decent of them."
They are giving lip service support under contract duress. They released a what? 4 gig patch that ultimately added Alien end boss unbalanced A.I., and a Film grain eye condom patch.... with some pretty wacked out lighting tweaks.
And then 3 weeks later, now a film Grain toggle that should have been there in the 1st 4 gig update patch. WTF are the high rez assets, A.I. animations and paythfinding tweaks???
The last time I saw a game bent over so bad by its dev team, was Men Of Valor. But I gotta say, the treatment allround given to A CMs is unprecidented. |

How bout a "Save Something Unreal" Contest?????
My vote would be for the supposedly Unreal 3 Engined Aliens Colonial Marines. I`d love to see some modders get their mits on this game and do it justice. |

| Yeah, too bad we can`t play as Roland. But, I am interested in this 1 none the less. Hope they show some horse riding vids as well. There is a mini series coming for The DarkTower tho. I think Ron Howard is producing it. |
