Your Thoughts On Updated Impressions

[dark_angel_7]

So this link was posted in the stickied Media thread:

http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/107/1071983p1.html

There hasn't been much about Dog Days since the last bunch of previews a month or so back so lets discuss our thoughts on IGN's recent Updated Impressions on Dog Days.

I haven't managed to find much new in the article but it seems they again only saw the single player side of the game. They were very impressed with the graphical and environmental interaction aspects of the game. So that sounds fantastic to me. :D They mentioned unique sound effects which I think is a nice touch. IGN also seems to be impressed with the way the overall game is at the moment and makes one or two bold claims along the way. They mention a "mid-2010" release date however nothing is confirmed yet. :) I suspect we'll see the game July earliest and September/October latest.

What are your thoughts on the Updated Impressions? What would you like to hear about next?

[UhUh]

Sounds really good! just hoping it's not just hype.

i just hope they wont make the mistake of releasing the game in november again

There is almost nothing new in that article whatsoever... It's just the same info re-hashed from when the big "information embargo" was lifted.

[Morphilms]

what would have been really nice, is if they released this legendary single player video, unique style. I can rave on and on about my bedroom wallpaper but if I didn't show you anything it's pretty much the sme. With mid 2010 approaching, dog days needs a bone to knaw at. Hint ******* hint!

Well, a nice read :)
But we need to see this game running ;-)

Nice to see the cover is working, and that the physic engine is looking great - there has still not been any game to beat stranglehold on that subject.

would like to hear someting about the "shooting" are there bullet trails ?

I wonder how deep the cover system is, ME2 is great, works-but kind of stiff with the whole static over the shoulder look.

Still, a K&L2 must buy ;-)

@ petersjoy - they mentioned realism - doubt a cheap webcam can refresh fast enough to catch bullet trails... As for the stranglehold... I am with you, that game was a masterpiece... It would be nice to see a John Woo movie on the stands of shanghai xD

AS for the topic - The uploaded material is still too light to make any judgments on the game's true potential... would be nice to see some gameplay footage.... pretty pretty please :rolleyes:

[petersjov]

@Falkenwut - yeahh....i did not think about the realism vs bullet trails...,but but i LOVE bullet trails.

Anyway talking about realism, its all about what seem real, and does not necessary have to be "real" i think.

I would love to se stuff like Lynch hears something, theres a loud sound, and the camera turns slowly away from lynch to focus on the sound, the back over the shoulder, behind lynch again.
I can imagine all kind of cool, fun stuff they could make, based on the whole you-tube-realism thing ;-)

On the news side, it just makes sense to wait after Splintercell con. and Just cause 2, and you dont wanna show to much like the splintercell game, where people either got tired of it, or just dont dont care about seeing more....

Why was that a mistake?

[Bevacur]

Why was that a mistake?

I think that was when Call of Duty Modern Warfare came out. Not sure correct me if i am wrong.

And Stranglehold was immense! I used to spend hours just destroying the environment like shooting pictures off wall or blowing up the market in the first level, the Penthouse level was the best for destroying stuff! (Sad i know)

[Morphilms]

Why was that a mistake?

I think it was when Assassins Creed and Guitar Hero 3 came out, not sure

IGN is the worst place to get actual, genuine coverage of a game. Their entire website is a glorified advertisement. There's a reason every big release usually gets a really positive review from them long before you see reviews from anyone else.

Wow!

Is Lynch holding a FN FAL in the third pic?

Lynch has a knack of looking like a homeless guy.

They're awesome! :D

You know, I love looking at all these screens Eidos has been gracing us with, but I really wish screenshots could move. That would probably give us a much better idea of what the game looks like and how it plays. I wonder if they could take a lot of screenshots, like thousands of them, from a moment in the game so that when we viewed them consecutively, in the order they were taken, they would create the illusion that we were actually watching the game be played. That way we could have a better idea of what the game looks like when it's actually moving ... wait ...

That's a great idea!

Is that just scripted thing, or you can take hostages when you want to?

Are these screens from the pc version?

if no then please show us some screens of the pc version too so we can see how beautiful the game looks on the PC in comapision to the old crappy outdated consoles(360 ps3) !!:):):)

[Acid Burn]

I'm not sure, but i think there's no PC build yet. Just X360.

[STOCKMAN]

The game is alreday announced for the pc what do you mean? After i saw the wonderful job that Eidos have done with the pc version of Just Cause 2(Real life like graphics very good optimization) i have high hopes for Kane&Lynch 2.

I am seriously thinking to upgrade my OS ( i am still on xp) just to play Just Cause 2 !!

Nice screens. I wonder, is that hostage taking is a part of gameplay, or a cutscene?

[TheMoD]

I think it was menitioned in some previews that you can use someone as a human shield so I'd say you can do it whenever you want to, or maybe if sneak up on someone from behind or something like that

[Moeez]

Please just give us a window for the gameplay trailer! Is it this month at least (March)?

I've never been this excited just for a trailer :P
