One of the very few new IPs of 2012. I really hope this marriages gameplay and storytelling and throws all our expectations out the window. A war game hasn't emotionally fucked me up since Brothers in Arms.
Or then, Matt Williams (the writer) has to eat a lot of crow.
Gameplay looks a bit jenky. An impactfull military shooter sounds great on paper. But the last game to promis such a thing turned out to be laughably bad (homefront)
I predict a shallow, dude-bro, throw-away story, unlikable characters, and mediocre gunplay. I'll be shocked if it actually delivers on any of its promises. We'll see i guess... I think we can all agree it will bomb sales wise tho.
At least we get to play marines/mercenaries this time. Seems like the game industry is getting some creativity back.
I quite agree. I was just thinking there has been a real lack of soldier games of late. The only think that could improve this would be if they added space marines to it and set it all to a hip hop soundtrack by DJ ice box.

Ugh….scratch that previous comment. The upcoming Game of Thrones video game is a F’in mobile phone game. Why can’t they came an open world GoT game, like Witcher 3 or God of War? (> 3 Months ago)

By FAR, the upcoming Game of Thrones King’s Road was the Game of the Show! It plays like God of War Ragnarok! :) (> 3 Months ago)
