Jeff W Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Did anyone else play the demo? I tried it not expecting much but I really enjoyed it, I loved the environment too, a deserted city at night during a thunderstorm, kind of creepy. There were a few problems, I noticed some severe slow down and the graphics on some of the background stuff wasn't exactly pretty, but with a September release I figure there's plenty of time to fix that. I love shooters and that's mostly what I play and this one just felt right to me. 2 player co-op, standard online Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, CTF, and Human VS. Reborn and Seige are unique to the game and could be fun. It's got simple one button squad commands kind of like Republic Commando and some driving/on-rail shooting missions as well. Late summer/fall's going to be crazy with good games, hopefully they're not all bunched up together because so far this one's looking to be a buy for me.

Dave C Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 I enjoyed the demo but I'll need to see more of or hear more about the game before I make a decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris F Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Shortest demo ever. But I liked what I saw. Enough that I'm now very interested int he title, where I wasn't at all interested before the demo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnemaEms Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Played the demo and it did zero for me. Might rent it if the reviews are decent. -Dean- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 The extreme slowdown killed the demo for me. I would be trying to aim , and it was like I was inside the Matrix. Also I hope you can customize the controls, because telling your teammates where to go should be pressing A like every other game does it, not the RB or LT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 I've had it downloaded for a few days and haven't gotten around to it. I'll give it a try tonight before I go to bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camp Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 It's more of a teaser than a real demo. Looks nice. Loved the slow-motion effect. Let's hope the length of the demo doesn't carry over into the full game. That was a problem with the 1st Area 51. It was extremely short.

Magness Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Played through it twice and I liked it well enough. U3 engine still looks beautifull and it played pretty well considering. Although its a "teaser" I think its still a little too short. Probably a rental for me upon release unless reviews are glowing... Or you guys convince me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Video lag was a dissapointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrik Draven Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Meh...was interested in this game when the video clip came out. Granted this was the shortest demo I've ever played but, even with that I was pretty unimpressed. Didn't like how your character moved. Rainbox Six Vegas has forever ruined me on fps character movement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weazel Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 For some reason this demo crashes my Xbox. I deleted it and re-downloaded it 2 times and each time I hit the Midway logo it locks up. My buddy said it was cool looking, I may have to go over and try it for a few mins later. :bh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camp Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Ouch...I hope that's not an initial sign of impending doom for your 360. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbert Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 In a moment of sanity, publisher Midway announces this is getting moved to November away from Halo 3. Now it's just up against Crysis & a whole bunch of other games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan_E Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 But, dang, another release delay?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 So for further proof that Blacksite might as well just be delayed or pretty much deal with buying utterly buried this holiday season....they've gone ahead and cut the online coop out of the game entirely. Also, PS3 owners will be getting online play but you won't be playing getting any ranked matches or voice chat support it seems.... http://ps3.ign.com/articles/828/828904p1.html With the Xbox 360 version of the game, players will be able to play ranked and unranked matches, and voice support will have constant chatter for teammates while everyone will be able to hear each other if they're close enough, regardless of which team they're on. Unfortunately, the PlayStation 3 version will feature none of these options, and PC support is TBD. It's also unfortunate that we must report that the online co-op that was promised for the game early on won't make it into the final release. Whether or not it could be added in a downloaded pack remains to be seen, though we're not holding our breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretster Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Just remember that wasn't a demo you were playing, but a tech demo. From my understanding it was just to show off part of the game from a technical standpoint and there is a full fledged demo that will be coming out at some point. No online co-op? To hell with that. Co-op is where it is at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camp Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Just remember that wasn't a demo you were playing, but a tech demo. Isn't it an Unreal Engine game? Why did we need a tech demo for tech we already know works (at least on the 360 )? I like calling it a teaser. A bad teaser but that's probably better than a tech demo.

Jordan_E Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Rented this one today. Pretty standard FPS, but I'm a sucker for shooting aliens. Good variety of weapons so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrik Draven Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 the "demo" turned me off on this one. No purchase here but I hope it turns out well for ya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan_E Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 There are some fun sections, nice variety of vehicle levels, but the AI is FREAKING HILARIOUS! I could walk right up beside a Bad Guy, who was shooting at one of my team members, and whack it upside the head! A rental, but a good way to kill time before I get ahold of Drake and Mass this week (hopefully!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
