Midway has another suprise hit on their hands.

 

[Kiriku]

It looks so innocent. Poor alien.

 

[DSN2K]

WTF is going on a Midway ?

 

[human5892]

Those monsters look terrible.

 

[Slo]

Looks like ass biscuits.

 

[Doom_Bringer]

the game looks sweet in motion. nice screens

 

[cybamerc]

This game is an insult to people with functioning eyes.

 

[akascream]

So THIS is why there's a government cover-up.

 

[Socreges]

Yech.

Apparently it's a good game, though.

 

[MaddenNFL64]

I saw the game in motion (thanks to Psi-Ops), and it looks average at best to me.

 

[Ristamar]

Regardless of how it turns out, I'm going to have a hard time not initially loathing it based on connotations from the suckitude of the original Area 51 coin-op.

 

[Wario64]

Either I'm not a graphics whore or I like ugly games, but I thought the screenshots look great

 

[LakeEarth]

GeneriTASTIC!

[Ferrarisimo]

Meh, I'll stick to Area 88, thank you very much.

Yeah, it was shittastic, but I do remember putting quite a bit of money into it one time.

:\

 

[Ristamar]

Capcom, where the fuck is the GBA port of this game! Give me my U.N. Squadron, dammit.

Serious. Area 88, UN Squadron, and Carrier Air Wing were FAAAAANTASTIC!

I swear to God, there are tears in my eyes right now from laughing so hard. Thank you, GAF memebers. I needed that.

 

[Matlock]

Looks hot.

 

[MrPing1000]

mmm... generic

 

[The Faceless Master]

midway's still making dreamcast games? awesome!!!

 

[Littleberu]

2003-2004 : Bad art

2004-2005 : Generic

 

[Ghost]

Check the movies on gamespot, in motion it looks like its the psi-ops engine...doesnt look half as good as the trailer made me believe though..

Alwell at least midway have a couple of Unreal games to make them money next year.

 

[seismologist]

PS2 version was on display at E3 and people standing around asking if this was Halo 2

 

[clipunderground]

Those monsters look terrible.

exactly what I was thinking.

 

[Ghost]

What day did the blind folk visit e3?

 

[Matlock]

PS2 version was on display at E3 and people standing around asking if this was Halo 2

It has a similar quality to the lighting, heh.

 

[Fifty]

I like the boxart!

 

[seismologist]

It has a similar quality to the lighting, heh.

I cant tell if that's sarcasm or not

The game looks good. For a minute I thought it was Halo 2 until I saw the guy was playing it using a dual shock. This easily will be the PS2's owners best way to get a taste of Halo 2.

Too bad it wont get nearly as much recognition though.

 

[Ghost]

Ok ive watched all the movies at gamespot and read the preview, this caught my eye..

At some point in the game, you'll also be able to mutate at will into a couple of different forms. One form will give you very powerful melee attacks. Another will give you parasitic projectiles that you can use to restore your health. Staying in your mutated forms requires you to have mutagen, which can be picked up from dead mutants, among other places. The idea behind the game's design is to force you to make use of all of the powers and items at your disposal. So some areas will be tackled more easily in human form, using conventional weaponry, while others will be focused more on mutation.

woo gimmicks ahoy..heh, no seriously depending on how thats implemented graphically, that could be a cool feature.

I hope there are some smarter enemies as you go through the game though because everything in the E3 vids just ran straight at the player (even the things that had guns)

 

[belgurdo]

Wow...a FPS

 

[DSN2K]

really dont see what people are complaining about graphically ???

seems pretty decent for PS2.

 

[Gattsu25]

the game looks great in motion...it's prolly no Halo 1 or 2, but it should be a damn fine game on its own

 

[Killbin]

Those monsters look terrible.

Me wants Killzone!!

Marilyn Manson to Provide Voice Talent in Upcoming Action Game

Manson will appear in the soon-to-be-released AREA 51 by Midway Games Inc.
Area 51 is one of the last of Midway's arcade franchises (from back in the day) to be given a makeover for present-day consoles. Marilyn Manson delivers an unforgettable performance as Edgar, the gray alien.
Featuring the voice talent of David Duchovny, Powers Boothe, and Marilyn Manson, Midway’s AREA 51 will be available in Q1 2005 for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system and the Xbox® video game system from Microsoft

haha. i may rent this

 

[op_ivy]

yeah, pretty sweet game. looking forward to it

 

[Datawhore]

I agree, the monster designs look like shit, but the game actually controls really well. It borrows much from the Halo Controls School of Gaming and is nicely forgiving.

At E3, I played Killzone and then Area 51 in sequence, and Area 51 put Killzone to shame in terms of play response. Sad, but true.

 

[seismologist]

I like the way Killzone plays. It's pacing more slow and deliberate than your average FPS so I can see how alot of people wouldn't like it.

Didn't play Area 51 but it seems like a decent Halo clone.

 

[Sho Nuff]

Shut up, you assmongers! This looks like fun!
