Mixing Rts And Fps...

A game called Field Ops is attempting to mix these two genres together: http://uk.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/fieldop...tml?sid=6153425

 

It should prove interesting as you can play as a strategic player or jump right into the action. If you're in a tight spot go into FPS and then blast your way out. What do you guys think about the mixing of the 2 genres? You reckon it'll work?

It could if done well. Soldiers: Heroes of WWII already did this and worked VERY well - though it did'nt go first person but third person.

Hidden and Dangerous was quite intersting, because you had to play both. You had to place your soldiers and make them what you needed them to do, and at the same time you always were controlling one of them, but you could switch any time.

Only thing is that it was a bit hard to let the AI take over, because it often screwed up. So you had to switch between all of them most of the time. Still I liked it quite a lot.

FYI Savage: Battle for Newerth merged these 2 genres together. The company was able to be independent and is now working a sequel. Great game.

 

Whose FYI was that for?

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
