I'm hyping AAA, but I think it might get a AA score here.

I'm hyping AA, but I'm hoping for AAA. I have trouble hyping a new IP as an AAA; this one does look particularly good, though.

Meh, doesn't look interesting. But it's a post apocalyptic FPS with nice graphics, so I guess AA at least.

What is it that makes everyone think it's going to achieve AAA status?

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.

I'm getting an 8-ish vibe from this game. I'm not sure why, and I'm not saying it's bad..so don't hurt me.

From what I have seen, I would say AA @ 8.5. Regardless, it is looking like a buy for me. I do wish they would get on with releasing more footage, though.

I'd like more information first. What do the missions look like? Is it a purely linear experience or more of an open-world mix, a la Stalker?

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.

Yeah, 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.

Ha, 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 )

While I do love Sins, the developer is from Canada. But hey, you're right that small budget games can still be well polished, I'll admit that much at least. :P

It worked for PS3 exclusives (KZ2, Uncharted 2, etc.) so why not. :P

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

I have no doubt that this will be a good game. But personally I'm a bit put off by 4A focusing so intently on achieving an immersive experience by directing the player, restricting the player's freedom. Stalker managed pretty well, so that seems kind of ass backwards to me. But then I guess since Stalker already exists we don't really need another one. Still, I wouldn't mind it.

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.

I think that in the xbox 360 it will be a technical piece of crap. On the PC, will be AA (review-wise); with time and mod support and all,could easily be one of the best games this year. Sure as hell it looks awesome.

A. It looks like it has good graphics, but from the gameplay they've shown it looks pretty clunky. If it scores AA ill most likely pick it up.

I don't do the A's thing for video games. Metro 2033 looks very good & I plan to play it on my PC.
