Exclusive: Wanted - Altitude slickness

That's a good title, isn't it? The name of the level is probably worse. Anyway, you're on a plane doing some killing. Watch Tom use a human shield and generally melee people and use the bullet-curving technique he's dubbed "wonky time".

    Cripes. That's the worst enemy AI I've seen in quite some time.

    Yep, that is pretty shocking. And what is the point of that bullet spinning?

  • Rictor001 #3 3 years ago

    just me or should someone other than Tom be doing these gameplay videos? he sucked at the bionic commando one too!

  • Wastelander #4 3 years ago

    Ah, so Stranglehold but shit then.

  • viper_h #5 3 years ago

    that freeze-frame every time you melee someone is really distracting. It looks like the video's skipping or something. Also, it looks shit.

    Also, it's surprising that someone who works for a video game website sucks balls at video games. Can I have a job?

    Edit: although I can understand that if this game is that bad, you wouldn't want to play it for longer than you had to to get good at it, but still...

    Give me the game and the video recording capabilities and i'll make it look better than Gears2.

    Still, looks pretty good fun and quite pretty.

    The bullet spinning lets you shoot round corners. Some enemies hide behind cover and blind fire, so you spin a bullet and they run out.

    This is actually a pretty enjoyable game, it's just very short.

    At 2:13, he should have done a double kill curve bullet!

  • djed #9 3 years ago

    Hm, shadows are for wimps, I guess.

  • muscleblade #10 3 years ago

    Im getting this game for Easter. Short but pretty sweet.

    And just as with the Bionic Commando clips, watching a shooter being played with a gamepad is pure misery.

    Edit: not knocking the effort though, I really like watching something more hands-on like this and not just the regular publisher-released trailers. Good work, Tom.

    Ah, from the vid the game looks like a 5/10, however as a Frenchman I'd bump it 2 points higher for the hilarious French insults. "Fils de pute" at 1:38 being a particular highlight, as well as "Le con" in the end.
    @viper: no! Tom's gameplay vids are great to show the games the way they'll be played by regular gamers, with all the frustrations that may entail. I don't care how it looks for an über-l33t skill machine who'll make this thing look like Gears of War 2, I want to know how plain it's going to look like when I grab my stained keyboard and crusty mouse.
