Jonathan Lindermann with the steal! Kairon is penalized!

I totally demand credit for the assist. Didn't you see my backhand pass?

Kairon did you contact HVS yet?

I sent them an email today. We'll see what comes of it.

Great!

AIDS isn't funny.

Ok, it's pretty funny, except when you blackout talking to two skanks at your hotel bar in Cape Town, South Africa and wake up lying on your hotel room's desk.........naked, wondering WTF happened.

No one is allowed to out-drunk me when drunk... >=|

haha, actually I wasn't drunk at all. It was an Arby & the Chief reference.

Kairon tossed me the alley-oop.

Stogi · « **Reply #730 on:** January 10, 2009, 01:31:44 PM »

So is there an official release date? And have you already decided who is going to review it?

NWR_Lindy · « **Reply #731 on:** January 10, 2009, 01:41:45 PM »

It's gonna be reviewed by yours truly, first-person shooter boy.

What I'm looking for is something that's well-executed within the constraints of the Wii hardware. In my mind, a good example of this is Mario Kart Wii, or Super Smash Bros. Brawl. In both of these cases the developer took what they had to work with, did some ingenius stuff, and really impressed me.

In other words, I'm not going to look at it like, "This isn't Halo 3 or CoD4, this blows".

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #732 on:** January 10, 2009, 01:46:51 PM »

Great to hear.
Stogi I heard that March 2009 was the date.Maybe if HVS comes and visits you can ask them that question to be certain of it.

But then what will GP have to complain about?

All right I received a response from my PM.

You do realize no one is going to be able to look at it since the link points to a private inbox.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #736 on:** January 10, 2009, 08:52:35 PM »

Oh well uh...
I asked them if they could forward the request to HVS to talk with us.
Their response was that if they did a Q&A it would be from a range of boards and that they would add NWR as one of their contacts.

NWR_Lindy · « **Reply #737 on:** January 10, 2009, 10:26:25 PM »

They'll likely tell me the same thing then. I'd much rather have a full-fledged Q&A just from our board, though...that'd be awesome.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #738 on:** January 10, 2009, 11:17:03 PM »

So is this game looking like a must-buy? or a wait-n-see?
Are we organizing a mass buy (good or bad) just to make a "hardcore" point?
I need to know how much attention I should put towards this game or whether i should just tune out till it hit the bargain bin.

It looks good graphically & is aimed at a more mature "hardcore" audience, but thats all ii know about it.
Help me waste my time productively.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #739 on:** January 10, 2009, 11:26:15 PM »

B&M it is a must buy.As you mentioned it looks great.The controls can be customized to everything you can think of.Unlike most 3rd party developers HVS takes the Wii seriously.It is a outstanding effort.

Mario · « **Reply #740 on:** January 10, 2009, 11:30:08 PM »

How about we wait until the game is out before declaring it outstanding.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #741 on:** January 10, 2009, 11:35:15 PM »

Mario compared to other Wii 3rd party games it is a outstanding effort.Note I said effort at the end of the sentence.From what I have seen everything is working out great.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #742 on:** January 10, 2009, 11:36:52 PM »

So "A" for effort, buy it anyway (good or bad).

got it. whens the release date?
I can go waste time following other games now that I know I'm gonna buy this regardless of final result

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #743 on:** January 10, 2009, 11:42:20 PM »

I've seen March 2009 for a while now.

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #744 on:** January 11, 2009, 12:48:42 AM »

The game played great at PAX

ShyGuy · « **Reply #745 on:** January 11, 2009, 02:31:06 AM »

It did play very well at PAX. Smooth aiming motion, reasonably intelligent enemies, good feel to the weapons.

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #746 on:** January 11, 2009, 02:41:03 AM »

good graphics.

NWR_Lindy · « **Reply #747 on:** January 11, 2009, 06:49:45 PM »

The more I hear about how great this game looks and plays, the more I feel like I'm being set up for disappointment. Like it'll have really good graphics and story but it'll only have two-player local deathmatch or something.

Then you need to spend your time talking to Halbred. &P He won't sing the game's praises to you.

You've managed to not be disappointed with Resistance so I think you'll do fine.
