It's all grit and gunplay, plus a little bit of driving, in Black Element's new FPS.

    ok, so the sound isn't working on their current game build then!

    What a terribly uninspiring looking game :/

    Well sure it's just another FPS but I thought it looked pretty good. I liked the enemies running away and firing over their shoulder rather than just backpedalling - I don't think I've seen that before.

    Hmmm, was that bullet time or just slowdown? Plus, no ragdoll on explosions? The rocket/grenade victims just seem to pogo....

    Please tell me this is made by a bunch of blind students who havent played games for over a decade.

    Kill it.

    Damn this looks like some bad imitation of a bad first person shooter. Times have moved on people. We want to see some strategy involved and some originality. No more 90 mile per hour running thank you.

    Play dark messiah, gears and even the original halo, then go back to the drawing board.

    Looks utterly uninspired.

    Liked the comment about being made by people who've not played games for over a decade. That's exactly what I thought upon viewing it. I can only imagine the poor sods coding feverishly away in their underground bunker thinking they've got a winner on their hands.

    Reminds me of a deluded X-factor contestant.

    We're a harsh bunch, ain't we?

    Well I saw some enemies running away from a grenade so I can already say it has better AI than quite a few of the most recent FPS.

    My guess is this is made by a small bunch of people who've never made a game before or are just out of university or something; if I'd made this, I'd be pretty damn happy with myself. However I'd not try to get people to buy it, no way would I or anyone else spend money on that. I'd not even steal that.

    And when will people realise that when creating fictional firearms there's no rule that says they have to look horrible?

    This has 5/10 written all over it. Quake 4, minus a point for being Quake 4 again.

  • PearOfAnguish #10 6 years ago

    I like how the enemies do a little jump in the air when a grenade goes off. Hooray for physics!

    Note to devs: shooting robots is boring. Unless you're going to let us rip their arms off, and stuff. Actually, that could work for human enemies too.

    Arse... that's all I can say about it!
