What they showed was tiny maps, no vehicles, and 5v5, it wasn't anything like Tribes and it'll flop if they pull that crap with release.
From the article: "Playtests have thus far been restricted to a 5v5 format, but the plan is to support 64-player matches in both casual and ranked play in the full game, along with custom matches and modes, and support for user-generated content. "

That said, I also dropped Soldier of Fortune somewhere in a previous thread that it is long overdue for a remaster. I had a blast with that game. Heck, even 2 wasn't bad and actually the gore was more realistic which is saying a lot considering how brutal the original was for its time.
Yup, both Soldier of Fortune games were regular staples in our after-work LAN parties back in the day. There was just something immensely cathartic about blowing off the heads and limbs of your co-workers after a long day in the office.
As for Kingpin - I bought it when it first came out. It wasn't particularly fun or memorable back then (aside from the excessive swearing) so I have little inclination to revisit it again now.

While I appreciate any and all free new content for this game, I really don't care for the whole Expeditions thing. If they are going to let us leave Appalachia for other areas, I'd prefer a more free-roaming experience like the Far Harbor DLC for Fallout 4. The Expeditions are little more than glorified Daily Ops and annoyingly grindy if you're trying to amass the required number of stamps to buy any rewards.

I haven't finished a GTA game since Vice City, despite also owning San Andreas, 4 & 5. Seems pointless even considering this one.

But, they did make The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay, which was way better than it had any right to be, and Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, which I thought was reasonably good.
Let's not forget Overkill's The Walking Dead - which was such a flop that Robert Kirkman disowned it, the console versions were cancelled, and the PC version was pulled from all storefronts. Sure, Starbreeze only published it and weren't the developers, but if they were willing to put this thing out on the market then you seriously have to wonder about their quality control.

Seeing lots of people complaining about the CGI but it looks okay to me. Also wondering who is playing Immortan Joe this time (since the original actor - Hugh "Toecutter" Keays-Byrne - died in 2020). Definitely onboard to see this regardless.

Apparently I already own it - which means this isn't the first time it's been freebied by UbiSoft.

Kind of ironic this occurred because there was also a previous FPS and RTS Starship Troopers game that came out early 2000s. I had both (in a manner I'm not fond of). I'd say I enjoyed them both equally as they both captured the atmosphere about as well as you could for those times. The FPS one actually had pretty solid graphics considering.
Never played the previous FPS but I did get a fair deal of enjoyment out of the RTS - if you're referring to Starship Troopers: Terran Ascendency.

I still have the original on disk. The screenshots don't look any different from its previous release, so unclear what was "remade" here.

Damn. I've been tuning in to Zero Punctuation for years - it was the only reason why I bothered visiting The Escapist at all.

The WB bundle would be a pretty solid deal if I didn't already own 8 of the 12 games on offer. No doubt good value for others though.

I quit near the end of Legion but I did get the impulse to revisit it again during their last free weekend. Admittedly, it was fun running around some of the new zones/expansions with my old (now level-crunched) warlock - and revisiting old haunts - but it still wasn't near enough to make me want to return full-time.

The last freebie just sat there loading forever too. I guess I must have got it by lucky fluke? Using the Galaxy client worked for this one though.

Starship Troopers, Terminator, and now Stargate - Slitherine really are cranking out quite a few licensed sci-fi games lately.

Meh, I had to roll back the last driver release because it was causing my second display to not be detected after booting or coming out of sleep mode. Unsure if this will resolve that, so am holding off for the time being.

Fallout 76 has come a long way, and I really enjoy it now. Definitely recommend giving it a try!
Agreed! I held off until the Wastelanders expansion and have been regularly playing it ever since. Not sure why people seem to think the cash shop is a problem though - plentiful currency can easily be earned in-game and I've never paid any real money for anything since the initial game purchase.

I tried this when it was an Epic freebie ages ago. Wasn't terribly impressed so it got uninstalled and pretty much forgotten.

Surely it can't be worse than the Gollum game, right?

Given this is from Microprose, I'm somewhat surprised that they didn't just resurrect the Silent Service brand.
