Wished they'd had gone and made another Flatout instead. Flatout 2 goes down as one of my favourite racers.

No Rally game has ever lived upto Rally Championship 2000 released back in '99. Not open world, but it featured true accurate track lengths. So you'd be stuck in the cockput of your beat up rally car trying desperately not to total it at the 34km mark of a 41km stage. Intense.
Richard Burns Rally.

Best... ever.

EDIT: Just saw your post below

Most of the open maps aren't very good in BF3, they had to port BF2 ones just to get something people liked. More infantry maps that are like call of duty just encourages more of the same, dice even said that in a blog post. Do people even like these maps or do they like how quickly their score goes up in small, railed maps with firing lanes so narrow it would take a moron to miss? Thats why Metro is the most played map, it's not because the shooting is so great on it or it offers such a strategic experience.

It's bad because casual gamers who want small maps and simplistic gameplay will turn this franchise into just another fps game. Sure that looks cinematic and I'm sure I could have fun fragging for a bit but Battlefield was always about a level of gameplay above casual FPS stuff.
I havent played a ton of BF3 (PC not up to snuff, really), but from what I played, about 4 of the conquest maps seem pretty damn awesome.
Maybe those 4 maps that I think are awesome don't play that well for others though, so I guess it's subjective.
Considering how many large maps are already in the game, I think making a few close quarter ones isn't all that bad an idea.
BUT, if the next DLC isn't epic battle maps, then that's bullshit.

I may be in the minority, but I like it. Can't wait for it to release.
I agree, looks like a lot of fun.

I don't understand why BF3 having the best of both worlds (open/close quarters) is a bad thing.

Appreciate the link.

This gives me a hell of a lot more confidence in their game.

What triggered the collapse of GSC in the first place?

I thought the STALKER series was a profitable one...

Excuse my ignorance.

They should just rent a mo-cap studio for the day, bang out all the animations and then tweak them later to their liking.

They can outsource this kinda stuff, too.

Looks awesome, and they only need 15k :O

There are a lot of nice small touches they seem to have put in that really pulls it together.

I'm in.

It doesn't help that it's an MMO and they've only got one environment to showcase.. and only a small section of one at that.

Maybe they have more done, but it doesn't show in this trailer.

Trine 2 is a masterpiece of artistic brilliance and engaging (yet simple) gameplay.

Highly recommend

shame about all of the sci-fi virtual reality nonsense in this series..... really ruins the atmosphere when you are trying to play a fantasy game.
Fully agree. This is why I never got into any of the games in this series.
Couldn't stand the highlighted enemies during combat and the lame present day story.

Nevertheless, I watched the two impression videos just put up on gametrailers.com and I'm pretty excited for this new iteration, mainly due to the era and settings, as well as the engine's upgrades from visuals to animation.
Still, if the enemies are still highlighted in combat, it'll probably ruin it for me.

Thanks for the info guys. I have ME2 just sitting in Steam waiting to be played.
I didn't play much of the first game, but by the sounds of it, doesn't seem like it matters in the end (ME3)... apart from story elements possibly confusing me.

I hear the ending of this game is absolutely horrid and detracts from the overall fun in the series due to such a lackluster conclusion.
I have ME2 but havent played it.
Worth just playing that one and leaving it at that?

GTX680 is calling! For Max 3 , and Skyrim(still haven't played)
I'm in the same boat. I haven't played Skyrim yet because I want it running at 60fps, max settings and AA.

I'm pretty much upgrading for Max Payne 3, though.
I upgraded my PC specifically to play the original when it came out, and now I'm doing the same for this iteration
