Battle Field Heros

Check out this trailer, it's pretty good

Looks like it'll actually be a pretty fun game. Low system specs and FREE. Nice cartoony style.

 

I didn't really read anything on the site so I wonder what the angle is.

[Dram]

Although I really dislike EA due to past practices, this looks like a really good move. I'll definitely try it, that's for sure.

I'm also going to try this one for sure! It actually looks like it will be a lot of fun

[SneaksieDave]

That's coming a bit close to blatantly copying off a certain other title, isn't it?

 

I too wonder the angle. EA, free? And a new title at that? They must be starting to realize all the negative feedback that's been coming against them since the Guardian attacked Britannia.

IMO they are trying to catch the audience from exactly that, or they may actually be releasing a game which is truly innocent and free......which is unlikely, but possible

Well, I'm not defending EA by any means but I don't know if I'd call it a 'blantant ripoff'. One's Halflife and the other is Battlfield... It just so happens both a cartoon/cel shade rendered games. Both are multiplayer, ect... I think here it's more of a question of which major game studio released a cel shade type game first, anything after that could be labeled a 'ripoff'.

 

And while the battlefield one looks cool I didn't know what all the Orange Box stuff was. I never cared for Halflife too much, I played a bit. It was also one of the first FPS games I had played so I sucked!

 

Then I looked at Halflife 2 and you HAD to have internet, I didn't at that time so that turned me off to it.

 

Over at Polycount forums there have been low poly remakes (very good ones too) of all the Team Fortress characters. I thought they were cartoony renditions of another game, I never realized they were actually duplicating the characters so well.

 

Now after checking out the orange box page I think I want it!!!

[STiFU]

Yup, they "stole" the style from TF 2 and the idea of a free shooter from ID (quake zero). EA actually only confirms my oppinion about them. They always follow the mainstream...

Crap! I may have just given Valve a sale.

 

You owe me, Newell. BIGTIME.

[Crispy]

$50 is bigtime now?

 

Seriously though, the Orange Box really is a pretty good deal if you're interested in at least two of the games. I just wanted Portal, myself, so I bought that separately.

[SneaksieDave]

Speaking of Portal, I highly recommend the version on kongregate. Very well made, entertaining and clever, and long enough so as to require more than one sitting, but not so long as to be tedious/neverending.

As far as EA has said they were making this game before TF 2 came out. It just so happens they were using the same style as TF 2.

Cool - can't get enough battlefield
