I was impressed by this because blowing the window out on a capital ship and watching everything getting blown the gently caress out into space, before launching into a full on zero g battle on the bridge looked more fun than pressing <<USE>> on a big red button.

Lets think about this from another angle.

Maybe Chris got sent a copy of the trailer and he finally had enough shame to bow out. Not enough to stop the TOS. But baby steps

SurfaceDetail posted:

Like the day after he said "we're gonna blow cod and battlefield out of the water" , Chris got 2 emails in his inbox from his 'friends' working at COD and BF1

and hes been in england ever since

Oh, that puts a new spin on things...

drat, it's crazy how slow and awful the FPS part looks after playing Doom and Overwatch for a while. Of course, that's slow and awful for the genre of actual games, meanwhile in children's ball pit Star Citizen is wetting its pants again.

Like, there's no reason to even bother with Star Citizen anymore. IW is everything people would want in SQ42, and that one new game with crafting or whatever offers everything Star Citizen has except it looks like they're much further along.

Finishing the game with everyone else's continues
I think at this point CIG is just going to pretend no other video games exist because you would have to be sealed in a concrete box to not see how far they've fallen behind on this in terms of progress and quality compared to so many other things.

I'm hoping IW learned from bloops and the sort that corridor doing jack poo poo is boring as piss but not holding my breath. I will say though this is the first CoD I'm remotely interested in.

Even if it is (and I suspect that's the case) the visuals make Squadron 42 look like a joke.

The UI alone is insane. It's seamless, communicates just enough info, and is incredibly intuitive.

Look at the jumping between cover via the grappling hook, that looks like local physics grid to me.

I think it is the other way around. The space fighter combat is there to sell the game, it is the unique pitch. Of course they'd make it into a full X-Wing style combat.

I'm obviously interested as well, but I'll definitely be watching to see how the space gameplay goes first.

My point is that their implementation is better.

But, to be honest, it has obvious limitations. Seems like you can only grapple to the objects in the "correct" orientation and once you land you stay like that. So no grappling into that cylindrical booster part and running circles inside it, Mario-Style.

Still a billion times more impressive than SC's "randomly die if you move from on grid to another"

Maybe, but CIG has taught me to avoid wishful thinking. Now if they really shove it up CIG's rear end and release full HOTAS and MKB support for the space part that would be amazing. Doubtful, but amazing.

I hate Call of Duty and that trailer actually had my nipples hard.

Edit: Provided I can play it with mouse and keyboard. I love the giant laser sight like the AMCAR in Payday 1, ripping off the facemasks to depressurize enemies, and the dude flipping up his shield to spot live targets in zero g so he knew who to not waste bullets on.

The grappling hook and homing grenades were like "Well, it's the future, how would they make war way more awesome and faster?"
