Sooooo, lets get the player base to test our next game and call it a new feature? So EA just rebranded their typical launch week bugs to Labs and called it a win?

Imagine if Line of Defense took a PSN account how much revenue it would have lost .. oh .. nm

It's a ploy to inflate their PSN account number for investors. They saw the popularity of the game and figured it was a good market strategy to gain quick account inflation to make their #s look good come quarterly investor call. There was no other reason to all of a sudden mandate a PSU account other than to inflate their "user" base.

Wait till all of their PC port games to require a PSN account if they don't already.

What the fuck are you talking about? Plagued by cheaters and hacks? It's been out for 10 minutes.

And if anyone gives a shit, this entire game is server-side, even the movement. That gives devs a lot of ways to make cheaters have a bad day.

This is the "Respawn" moment for the ex-DICE devs who are finally out from under EA and can make the games they've always wanted. The Finals plays like a dream. I can't go back to battlefield, the movement, the hitregs, the latency compensation, it's all... yexch. The Finals on the other hand is crispy as a motherfucker.

Imagine that, another Twitch Arena shooter plagued by hacks and cheats on day one until they shut the servers down. Who would have thought ...

Wonder if the older clans will start back up with this coming out.

na, older clans are still stuck on T1 or clones of T1 .. most don't / didn't care for HiRez Tribes. Hope this turns out well. I myself did enjoy the HiRez rehash of T2 in their game, I just left after they continued to add pay to win OP weapons, only to nerf them once people stoped buying them.

we'll see,

It looks good, I just hope they don't go the HiRez route and add pay-to-win weapons ... and they just started dev on this 6 weeks ago? that's also a lot of cut and paste from HiRez Tribes.

and there was already a Tribes 3 so not sure about the naming scheme ...

Cut and Pate sandpaper in underware comments.

Wut?

I'm just saying the same people will post the same ole posts about the same ole bitches about the game, its a con, design team, chris r, etc. This forum group needs an auto-post feature for those people whenever an SC news post is put on this site. I am somewhat surprised the normal hate group on this site isn't already copy n' pasting them. 24 hours after the post has been live here and only 26 replies, guessing it's because it's on a sub-title post and not highlighted with a normal SC title that they haven't seen the post yet. Give it today and I bet you'll start to see the normal "I hate life" post about SC.

edit .. oh .. there they go

Cut and Pate sandpaper in underware comments.

Just the same ole people, just cut and paste the same ole comments. I think Kxmode should just add an auto-comment reply feature attached to the forum accounts, it would just save a lot of time...

I sat and listened to a 45min rant at E3 1997 from him and Tom Hall about how Daikatana would change the FPS genre...

Not holding my breath on anything from him again

NFT 2024, it's in the game ....

You should watch the Meta-Human project video. It shows how they have come so far in getting facial rigs in-engine with extreme fidelity. Also shows the critics of the eyes and lip comments to be, oh ya ... I knew it was fake ... to be suspect.

same people same sand in underwear complaints.

Heed the wisdom of the great Elsa .. and just Let it go people, just let it go ....

Utter revisionist history. Quake's SP WAS definitely liked, as well as Quake 2's. I can remember countless user made maps for it. That's also why there is still a very strong mapping community around SP maps to this day.

Without Googling, Wiki , or any other look-up.... name the final boss in Quake , or Quake2 .... don't pretend you know .... they are as forgettable as the SP in Quake and Q2.

No one plays sp competitively.
Apples and Oranges

SP was disliked so much that there were two official expansion packs and an unofficial third expansion pack.

Every single sane person on this planet.

Yep

Yes , but again Quake is not known for its SP campaigns, the expansions didn't sell well, and again Quake 2 wasn't known for its SP, it was known for its MP MODs/ CFT / Sklins. Quake 3 was the pentacle of arena shooters and that is shown by the multitude of copycat arena shooters that came after it (Unreal Tournament, Sin) and even to this day games like Toxikk and Slipgate. Hell, even Unreal tried to build upon Quake, Quake 2, and Quake 3 Arena.... Quake 4, which was SP centric, was almost the death of the Quake franchise, its MP was lackluster and therefore the competitive scene was almost non-existent. Those that played Quake for SP were not the majority of the player base who played Quake World / Quake MP at LAN parties and tournaments. You did not go to LAN parties / Tournaments to play Quake SP coop. And when you did play at LAN parties and the server rotation hit a map from the expansions, 2/3rds of the players would drop because they didn't have the map paks.

It's also the reason why id focused more on SP for DOOM than MP. DOOM was your SP fix while Quake was for your MP / LAN / Tournament fans. You didn't see Thresh winning a Car for DOOM MP.

You don't go see Kevin Heart for his Oscar-winning performance for the best drama to walk out crying from the tear-jerking ending, you go see him to walk out crying from laughing your ass off. You don play Quake for its lackluster quick-to-forget SP campaign, you play for the heart-pounding MP frag fest.

Carmack thought everyone had a T1 , just one of the reasons dialup suxored.

That's why Quake World was so popular for the Dial Up scene.

There is a reason why Quake 3 Arena, Quake Live, and Quake Champions didn't have any SP component ... because no one who played Quake competitively played Quake for single-player .... even Quake 2 and Quake 4's continuation of the SP didn't go over well ...
