Blacksite poor game design..needs these fixes fast !!!!!

Hello all

     The characters are way to small in the game. Doors and buildings look huge in comparision to your character.

Stand beside the Slushy Machine in the convience store and you'll see what i mean. It looks wierd. Bad Charecter Developement. They look good when your up close when you can see the texures on the face  but the characters are way to small. The need to increase there size by at least 25%.

These are solders not kids.!!

 Also... the sleek wet look is good but does everything have to have the same wet surface texture. i know consistancy with the envirment is important but objets that are wet look different on other surfaces. they need to introduce more water based or wet surface texures to the envirment. 

i dunno, the main thing i noticed when i played the demo was how bored i was.....and thats not a good sign for mebass_11

How do you get bored in a five minute demo?  I have some pretty hardcore ADD and even *I* find that hard to believe.

what concerns me are the limited break animations. As far as I could tell all the glass breaks the same way, bullets smudge into a fake a collision wall when firing rounds at the concrete, even simple things like making the bottles of mystery liquid in the back store room need to be addressed, i.e. nothing really happens when you shoot at them, they just move a little or fall on the floor. They should burst open, or sprout streams of liquid, all in all this is so far a flashy experience with no real depth to the world just yet.

As for the water... great animation on the gun, but you arm just looks shiny as opposed to actually wet, what's up with that? And if this is actually using the same game/physics engine as Stranglehold then I hope it doesn't have the same problems, I've been looking something to scratch my max payne ich and Stranglehold looked the fit the bill.

At first impression I'd say the game is heading in the right direction, however the initial game play was uninspired at best and lack a sertun next gen feel to it. Seeing that we are heading into a complete war zone filled with halo 3 crazed players you have to ask yourself were dose a game like this stand. If you ask me its going to have some very tuff competition come release date. Seeing that there strategy may be to release early to by pass the onslot of halo 3 and half-life  fans may also mean the game may get cut backs and possibly suffer from optimization  and content as well.(I only say that because I did notice some FPS issues when things got hairy)

      I wish it the best but realistically this game has to create something that's a little bit more inspired to catch the average user attention.  From a visual stand point the game does look good, but that's not going to make a game, although it does help. Let's just hope that in  4 months they can cram some re-texureizing into the characters.  "Fingers crossed "

 I see what your saying about the arm, it does look kind of  blaa. You're also right about the animation, way to limiting there's definitely not enough going on there. You were mentioning your max payne itch; I thought it was kind of funny that you mentioned that because I think I know what you mean. Shooter games need that great story to pull you into the game, its apart of what emursifys you into it. To think a game at least 3 or 4 years old now still to this day leaves its mark. Not because of anything else but it sheer drama and adrenaline rush, got to know what happens next game play. It felt like you were Max Payne.

     I tip my hat to you Max .

Thank you to everyone that has responded to this post  : )

pls keep the info coming

they will iron all that out before release, it plays pretty sweet thoughLobaFett

yea after all it is just a demo

theyll polish it up and everything before release obviously

IMO it was a pretty good demo , besides the fact that it was only 5 min.

blocky characters, check

stiff controlls, needs to be more fluid, check

 bad proportioning, check

Area 51 for the x-box was an awsome, smooth title 

this looks like a step backwards. Seems to me that they are trying to compete with "Fall of Man" as far as mood and atmosphere, but are falling waaaaaay short.

hope they tighten it up. 

I'm not sure about this game, the concept sure sounds good, but the game isn't doing as much as it could, like the aiming and movement it feels way too lose and way too much aim assist. I really don't see this game getting over an 8.6, but in the graphics department they got that locked down except for some framerate issues they're pretty much good to go.

I shot at the gas prices in a fit when i first played this demo....then one of the characters say, " I hate those prices too" or something like that, it was creepy, the devs put that there for sure for a good laugh.Cujo31

Hahah thats gold!
