mrthejoshmon Posted April 8, 2013 Is this going to be a different game altogether or some expensive DLC crap? Or better yet, is it even real? 0 Share this post Link to post

Enjay Posted April 8, 2013 He he, well they get bonus points from me for the shitty retro website (even if it is more 1990s than 2000s). 0 Share this post Link to post
Sporku Posted April 8, 2013 I love it. I just finished playing through Time Splitters: Future Perfect the other day, which has made me miss humor in the shooter genre. ...except now that I think about it, I really just want another Time Splitters game. :( What happened to Free Radical anyway? 0 Share this post Link to post
Captain Toenail Posted April 8, 2013 They were absorbed by Crytek. Crytek then hinted at finishing Timesplitters 4 which was in development, canceled it, hinted again if they got enough petition votes (ugh) they would reconsider, stated they would never do it, then stated they would, but only as a free-to-play game (eww). Latest I heard they said it's not happening, ever. Not enough interest from the public, apparently. Lets be honest, if Crytek attempted a Timesplitters 4 now, it likely wouldn't be a 'true' 'Splitters game anyway. :/ As for Blood Dragon, looks great! Loving the retro theme. 0 Share this post Link to post

Captain Red Posted April 9, 2013 I was hoping far cry 3 would get DLC like Undead nightmare but with dinosaurs, but this looks totally radical! 0 Share this post Link to post

Avoozl Posted April 9, 2013 Speaking of Far Cry 3, I was about to buy it from the store yesterday until I found out from the store worker that it has an always on drm, I thought ubisoft was well behind that now after the complaints they always got about it with their previous games but I guess they aren't. My mobile broadband sure as hell wouldn't be able to handle that. 0 Share this post Link to post
Captain Red Posted April 9, 2013 That store worker was full of shit. It has a one time activation and runs under Uplay , but you can immediately switch it to off line and it runs just fine if you're only interested in singleplayer. 0 Share this post Link to post
SandGator Posted April 9, 2013 I love this future-vintage 80s stuff, when it's done properly. Like Hotline Miami. FC3 was a lot of fun, and a definite improvement over its boring predecessor. 0 Share this post Link to post
DoomUK Posted April 9, 2013 What the fuck does this have to do with Far Cry 3? 0 Share this post Link to post

SandGator Posted April 9, 2013 The XBLM listing said:Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon is THE Kick-Ass Cyber Shooter taking place on a bizarre open-world island crawling with evil. Welcome to an 80's VHS vision of the future. The year is 2007 and you are Sargent Rex Colt, a Mark IV Cyber Commando who's fighting against a cyborg army gone rogue. Your mission: get the girl, kill the baddies, and save the world. Experience every cliché of a VHS era vision of a nuclear future, where cyborgs, blood dragons, mutants, and Michael Biehn (Terminator, Aliens, Navy Seals) collide. Playing Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon doesn't require a copy of Far Cry 3. There you go. Standalone game. Listing says May 1 as of right now. 0 Share this post Link to post
Captain Red Posted April 9, 2013 This is a cut scenes from the game. FUCKING. SOLD. 0 Share this post Link to post
Avoozl Posted April 9, 2013 So basically it will be a true successor to the original Far Cry. 0 Share this post Link to post

Sporku Posted April 9, 2013 Also, I just listened to the Power Glove track OP posted... that shit's pretty dope. Style seems like it'd be very fitting in this type of game for sure. 0 Share this post Link to post
DoomUK Posted April 9, 2013 Another question: Why does the assault rifle or whatever have to consume almost 1/4 of the screen? Is that all part of the fun? 0 Share this post Link to post
