Title: Oh god. Uwe Boll is entering the gaming business.
Post by: HL on September 18, 2008, 03:17:47 am
Meet his new game! 1968 Tunnel Rats.


This game looks like it would have been good....6 years ago....

I can't believe he's decided to make a video game. It's so random really, this just popped up out of thin air on most of the top gaming sites today.

It looks a lot like Far Cry really! Like a lot like Far Cry in graphical style etc. The trailer is even made like one of his movies too, haha. Wooow.

On the bright side, if he plugs it hard and it flops, maybe this will reduce the amount of cash he has on hand to fund more of his movies.

The game doesn't look BAD at all. It actually looks like an interesting concept. Tunnel fighting would require a lot more strategy than "shoot barrels kill everyone" and "hide behind crate and shoot at boss". This game could be really good imho.

whatever man, this looks like a first-person shooter to me.  you're apeshit if you think this is what games looked like six years ago.

it doesn't look GOOD, but it looks like a lot of other fps, i think!  like you're being ultraharsh on this because NOOOO BOLL STAY OUT OF MY MEDIUM but seriously, this doesn't look substantially below average, if it's below average at all.  this just reinforces my idea that the only reason people think boll is bad is because he works in a medium with drastically higher standards.  as a director he is laughably terrible but as a GAME DESIGNER he is pretty regular, and this sort of shows that i think, because this just looks NORMAL to me.  it's not that his skill with games is less horrendously lacking than his skill with movies, it's that people have substantially lower expectations from games.  i think if you threw any random idiot game developer into the film industry, they'd probably end up with movies very similar in quality to boll's.  that is the biggest joke for me, really; that he is really no different from 95% of the game industry and game designers are just really, really bad at what they do by any standard other than the superlax ones gamers have.

i kind of have to wonder whether had boll had just not made movies and instead made games, if he would be one of those rockstar game designers that everyone talks about, only in a good way instead of being widely acknowledged as like the worst fucking director ever.  he is certainly charismatic enough!  i bet uwe boll would be like CLIFFY B or KEN LEVINE if he had just stuck to making average games instead of trying to apply his skill to a medium where much more is demanded in terms of quality/legitimacy.  it is like big fish////small pond i think.  oh uwe.... why couldnt you stick to games

Post by: HL on September 18, 2008, 05:36:35 am
we don't need more Cliffy B please god no

Also yes I do think it looks like an FPS made six years ago, as in, just a standard FPS. I may be crazy, but I do not think the genre hasn't made any movement what-so-ever beyond WALK FORWARD AND SHOOT and JUNGLE.....DIRT TUNNELS....in the past couple years. It has. I don't even look too harshly down on Boll, shit I was in that thread in Film Media calling people dumb for the petition thing if you remember that, because he's doing something he apparently loves and trying to sign some petition to remove him from doing something he LIKES even if most people with brains don't is a pretty terrible thing to do. I actually like one of his movies too (Heart of America, it was alright. Not great, but alright.), but the FPS genre has moved beyond JUNGLES and WALK FORWARD AND SHOOT IN TUNNELS. I mean, sure, you have a lot of games that are still like that, but then again we have a lot of platformers that are still overly generic platforming that could have probably passed for a 2D NES platformer.

If this game is shooting for completely fuck all average, then yes, it's good, I guess! But that's what I mean by it being good 6 years ago, 6 years ago (random #, but still a LONG TIME AGO) this would have been ABOVE AVERAGE because HEY WHOAH LOOK AT THOSE REALISTIC JUNGLES (graphics wise being toned down obviously) (LETS IGNORE THE BAD FRAMES PER SECOND) AND WHOAH TUNNELS, but they shouldn't be striving for completely fuck all average and I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt here and assuming they aren't trying to be average, which in that case makes the game PRETTY TERRIBLE because this game from the looks of it is just that: a completely average FPS that does nothing we haven't seen before with a terrible Frames Per Second and atypical Boll trailer advertising. If anything the industry needs a lot less completely average games, and just because there isn't a gajillion stand out people in the industry doesn't mean the consumer's shouldn't at least want more NOT-SO-AVERAGE games that at least take strides going somewhere new. Companies are already not wanting to take risks because the costs of developing a game are so high with the profit being low to completely non-existent (again, 95% of games don't turn a substantial profit for the company sooo), it's no wonder they feel more compelled to make these types of games if the consumer's are willing to accept this type of thing as ok and embrace them as such.

I'm sure it's going to be a completely average game that will at least make news because "heh Uwe Boll isn't as bad as game makking, 70/100", and I never once said otherwise! I just said it wouldn't be a good game, and I don't personally consider ON THE POINT 100% AVERAGE good. I consider it more of the same thing we've seen for years now because no one is really willing to break the FPS mold beyond System Shock 1&2, Half Life, Bioshock, and Deus Ex which all had pretty fantastic story telling that took strides going somewhere the genre itself doesn't do much of at all (System Shock most definitely) and other qualities that set them apart from everything else in that genre.

I'm just tired of seeing more of the same 24/7. But that's all this game is, and I don't like that and think it is a poor game for being average. Uwe Boll is at the least INTERESTING because he's a crazy mother fucker who doesn't really follow normal conventions and has that FUCK YOU MY SHIT RULES attitude. Even if his movies (99% of them) suck balls their is like this crazy buildup he has with INSANE and funny (funny in how sad they are, but still funny.) attempts to hype it (GENERAL UWE BOLL TALKING ABOUT POSTAL, BOXING WITH LOW TAX AND MICHAEL BAY) and the movie winds up being bad because it doesn't follow common movie standards or whatever. But this is just FPS in environments you've seen 10000 times already with guns you've seen 10000 times already, killing people you've already killed 10000 times already with stereotypical lines and accents, with any new ground breaking features being highly doubtful and I guarantee non-existent.

I agree though, if he went as a game designer first, he'd at least be average. But that's because the videogame industry is still very infant compared to something like the Film Industry which has been around for fuck all forever. It doesn't really have the same amount of standards or such, because people are still trying to sort out where the industry leads. PC gaming or Console gaming? If the latter, which console? If the former, what format and what DRM and what type of PC's should we really support to maximize profits? etc, even basic stuff like that isn't worked out, no one knows where the industry (and the profit) leads, and there's not many standards beyond the rating committees like the ESRB. Everything else is basically up to the devs and publishers to setup and figure out.

This looks exactly like the any army based FPS. COD, MOH, SOF, whatever. They're all really really fucking stupid games yet you guys still lap them up despite playing virtually the exact same game one year earlier(seriously any fan of the previous mentioned series really cannot complain about this game). Uwe Boll will never come up with some amazing and original idea. You KNOW that, so don't get so worked up over it as if you expected an UWE BOLL game to be the next Deus Ex. Besides, It's instantly more original than COD and MOH because you're not shooting Nazis. Nazis have appeared in more videogames than Health Bars.

I didn't expect him too, but that doesn't mean I can't hate it for mediocrity like I do everything else you mentioned.

Also, I am a fan of COD4 but hate all the other ones. Then again COD4 is in Modern times and different enough compared to most other army FPS because of this, plus the Achievement reward system & perk system are different that it at least tried something new in that department.

It also told a pretty good story that didn't end so well, which I gotta commend it for.

I'm impressed the graphics don't look like crap right away. However, once I saw him firing the weapons I realized how easily the gameplay could still be some bland FPS shit. Depending on what aspects of the game he's working on (uwe boll), only those aspects will suck hard. I'm assuming hes just working on the story at this point, and is nowhere involved in gameplay or any sort of programming. So saying the game will suck shit just because uwe boll is involved is really insultive to everyone ELSE working on the game, even though we all hate uwe boll and want to see him fail miserably.

What are you talking about?  Up until Half-Life, FPS levels were little more than "start here, hit the button at the end of the level."  Half-Life eliminated this, creating a much more realistic level structure with much smoother flow.  Half-Life was truly the first modern FPS.

off topic:

It was the first FPS to have a modern level design (both of them), modern characters with moving mouths (HL1, and yes this was MIND BLOWING for the time), modern characters with accurate faces that showed emotion (HL2), a story that wasn't basic as shit (both of them) with characters that were actually different and ground breaking giving the style of story (Dr. Breen, for example, is not your standard BIG BROTHER character, even though he seems that way at the start, G-Man, etc), it was the first FPS to have physics the player could actually affect in puzzles or use to kill enemies (gravity gun, picking up objects and throwing them ALSO revolutionary for the time), and I could keep listing stuff for like another 15 sentences.

Like sure it probably looks average now but pretty much everything in it was revolutionary for the time that it was made. It single handedly redefined the genre when it came out.

This doesn't really have that.

Counterstrike. (made by two people for original release, Valve getting them just made updates quicker, never updated graphics or anything.)

Portal. (had 2 voice actors, most of the same graphics, and was made on a small budget by a small team. One of the best games on the orange box that overshadowed all the others in reviews, so yea.)
Title: Oh god. Uwe Boll is entering the gaming business.
Post by: pburn on September 18, 2008, 10:36:44 pm
Yeah but the thing about Portal is that they've made shitload of games in the past so they know what they're doing!
Title: Oh god. Uwe Boll is entering the gaming business.
Post by: HL on September 18, 2008, 10:47:18 pm
Portal was mostly made by college students who had 1 project in the past, Narbacular Drop, a decent VERY (read: none) low budget made by a couple of kids for a videogame design class. They never had a team bigger than 10 people working on it (Portal), so!

Really was made by a bunch of people who had little experience at what they were doing.

But it's an example that you don't need UBER STACKS OF MONEY to be original and good, since the graphics in Portal are rather subpar for their time. You just need $ if you want to be CUTTING EDGE.

Well... the concept of a pure tunnel only FPS could be a great game if done well, just not make it a straight forward tunnel and make it more DOOM (3 in particular and being able to actually attach flashlights to your weapons) like. Coupled with pseudo-randomly generated monsters by an ominous A.I. that pretty much decides how to use it's resources to try and kill you in a huge labyrinth of tunnels. No story needed, just you trying to get out of a dark, cramped series of tunnels to the surface with hordes of creatures stalking you every step of the way.

But I geuss I had my hopes a little too high...

Title: Oh god. Uwe Boll is entering the gaming business.
Post by: Boulvae on September 19, 2008, 03:18:53 am
Is it the randomness I suggested? Cause Pseudo means seemingly, I mean't it would appear to be random but it does have a structure to it. Or is it that tunnels translates to boring? I though it'd be a good idea because it's a tunnel maze, cramped with few large enough areas to sneak past, and the enemy could do things like chase you into an ambush and trap you between two forces (with only two ways to go) and stuff like that. But thinking about it now i'm starting to see the problems with it.

Uwe Boll movies are actually really entertaining. the guy needs to learn how to make his action sequences as good as his other shit though because the choreography is so boring I know quite a few people who turn the movie off just because they are too fucking bored.

in a scene in In the Name of the King, Jason Statham finds his dead son and my friend and I both started cracking up because his face of mourning resulted in him knotting his forehead and the knot was HUGE. it was like the size of my fist. it was great because without any communication we were the only two laughing at the same thing.

if you watch his films completely aware they are trolls, they are great fun.
Title: Oh god. Uwe Boll is entering the gaming business.

There was a rumour going around that the knot was CGI edited in in post production by Boll because he thought Statham didn't evoke enough emotion in the scene.

If it was any other director I would think this would be completely ridiculous but with Boll...I don't know, it almost seems plausible...

It looks incredibly...average. If this game didn't have Uwe Boll on it, you wouldn't even LOOK at it (let alone play it). I couldn't really care less about it either way.

off topic:
lol, half life BREAK THE MOLD? good one, it is known as a great game, not an original game by ANY means
sarevok how are you this dumb

seriously though I googled a long time for the forehead knot and even tried to find a youtube clip of that scene where this mysterious forehead knot apparently makes a debut, but I couldn't find shit.
