Area 51 Coming Soon...
- Thread starter lexbubble
- Start date
I really enjoyed both of the OXM demos.
I pre-ordered A51 yesterday. They have a pretty sweet deal going on at EB and GS. You get a copy of Midway Arcade Treasures 2 when you pre-order.
I think this game is going to be another sleeper like Psi-Ops. But, having the online multiplayer may give it good word of mouth. The real obsticle for A51 will be the Halo 2 maps that are being released on the same day as it's release.
Midway has been putting out some good stuff lately. I think Area 51 will be money well spent.

Yeah, Psi-ops was a lot of fun, except for the maze part.
Yeah, the multiplayer looks like a cool selling point with this game. Some of the alien guns are going to really change the strategy and the dynamic maps that change sizes are going to be a real nerve-wrecker for a while.
MAT2? Nice, you going for the Mortal Kombat???

I also pre-ordered
seems like a good deal when I get a game I wanted with it for free
Midway deserves some trust at this point, they've really pulled through the last year or so and put out some excellent games, at worst we'll have a game on par with psi-ops and that would be pretty nice

Easy now EGM....
Yeah, I saw that IGN review...looking pretty good. I expect that user reviews on like gamespot nad stuff wil be pushing the 9.0 barrier. I am really itching to try the multiplayer and see the way they work in the UFO and other conspiracy stories like the surprise at the end of the demo...heh.

teamxbox posted some impressions of the multiplayer.
Impressions and Video
Dynamically resizing maps depending upon how many players are connected.
12 Skins
5 game types
17 maps right out of the box
Lots of game customization
Sounds like a winner to me

from article: "Players will be able to choose between 2-16 players, as well as decide whether or not to enable/disable the gameÂ’s Auto Scale feature. This cool function will automatically adjust the playable area of any of the gameÂ’s maps according to the number of players at any given time. This helps keep a smaller game of 2-4 players from getting lost within a large scale map. This helps to keep all maps accessible for just about any game type. "
Looking forward to it. Thanx for the link. Thats the most in depth I have seen. Really does look like MP will be a hit.

FLAWLESS VICTOLY!
Single player is a blast. Fun little bug hunt. Some nice "jumpy" moments. Fairly linear but well done. There's some nice narrative and cinematic aspects to it.
It has a Metroid Prime lite aspect of scanning certain items and areas. These unlock some information and videos which add to the conspiracy laden story. Some neat little films and files which allude to Illuminati/Alien conspiracies. Fun stuff.
Probably give multiplayer a shot tomorrow. The weapons and enemies are quite cool.

Well, I am psyched to see that they definitely improved from the demos. The game is a lot more fun than I even thought it was going to be (I was afraid to start on the demo level).
So far I have played for about 45 minutes. I have been able to dual-wield shotguns and rifles and blow many-a-aliens away with frag grenades (my personal favorite, well dual shotgun is great to, stops them dead in their tracks).
I can't remember but did they re-do the voice overs for the intro scene? I remember them being less polished nad more comical. Anyways, the cut scenes and story are worked into the game nicely so that it really draws you in.
Well, don't want to give to much away. Heh...anyone have trouble getting to the catwalk though?

What kind of enemies? Freakly aliens and monsters?
Republic Commando had lame enemies, giant flies and tin head robots.

I'm buying it.
A few hours into it, and so far the story is almost a direct rip-off of Half-Life 1
Still, it's a fun console FPS with great production values. Also the Xbox version has very good disguised load times.

Woah...top pic, those two guns. Haven't seen those in the demo or the game yet. I want them.
The loads are really covered. I am surprised though that the reviews said the story is hard to follow. Its pretty straight forward to me. I reall ylike Powers Boothe being in it too...
Obviously I played more and I like that they make you crawl through vents nad find your way through rooms on the rafters, nice little addition along the lines of Half Life...

I've found the mutation to be more useful than reviewers give it credit for
when low on ammo you can mutate and blow jerks away, you can get slightly enhanced vision, and in multi it can be really damn fun to mutate and start bashing the shit out of people
