What's they hype for this? There seems to be a of of talk about the graphics engine.
This topic is locked from further discussion.
Why is anyone hyping this AAA? Because it looks pretty? It comes from a small untested Ukrainian developer. If we're lucky, it'll be a linear Stalker. Unless I'm missing something that is.

Small foreign developers can give us some of the best games around. Just because it doesn't have a six-hundred million dollar budget and a Halo marketing campaign doesn't mean it'll suck. Hell, half these small budget games kill big budget releases like Call of Duty.

I didn't mean it like that at all. As a PC gamer, I absolutely love small eastern European developers. But they don't deliver highly polished games that receive AAA scores. They just don't.[QUOTE="Phoenix534"][QUOTE="agentfred"]

How is he dissing? He's saying that we've never seen anything from the developers yet so it's a bit premature to be throwing AAA's around. The game (the little I've seen so far) looks good though.You never know. Braid was a one man project and it got AAA. Have faith in 4APhoenix534Yeah, but reviewers are going to be more critical of a full retail game. Well, look, I'm hoping you're right, because if it's as good as you are all hyping it, I'll be picking it up first day. Just mark me down as a skeptic.

whats them being ukrainian got to do with anything?G-O-M-JHa, sorry, I didn't mean that as an insult, it's just Eastern European games tend to be "diamond-in-the-rough" sort affairs, where they have brilliant ideas and are often unique and innovative, but are usually bogged down by bugs and technical problems. Games like Stalker, King's Bounty, Cryostasis, etc. are wonderful games, but often don't do so great with reviewers. I'm just saying, maybe we should be a bit cautious with the hype here?

Ahem Sins of a solar empire. What better example. A budget of less than 1 million and is one of the best if not the best strategy game of 2008 and highly polished ( although sins devs are far more experienced )It worked for PS3 exclusives (KZ2, Uncharted 2, etc.) so why not. :PWhy is anyone hyping this AAA?

Nothing against those games BTW.

they usually do amazingly well with the reviewers on platforms their meant for. ie compare pc gamers review with GTs review of STALKER.
they only get 'bad' scores due to them being unpolished and generally buggy which is usually fixed after launch. but hopefully with the fact that its being released on the 360 (never thought id actually be happy its on a console) which means MS is riding their back to polish it somewhat, and based on STALKER, and sinc eits a more linear and tightly focused game it should do pretty damn well

Lol I was thinking the same thing, If it has good graphics it will be hyped! I think it will get AA (8.9)

or you know people are hyping it because its coming from a developer made from members of the dev team that made one of the best FPSs this gen
If i'm not mistaken its being developed by a team that splintered off from the Stalker SoC development team, so it will likely be buggy but good. not sure about AAA, i'd guess 8 or 8.5.
