Wow. That game looks gorgeous. I normally hate FPS games with a passion, but the whole "resident evilish" feel to this got to me. Anyone know the system this will be on?

This is great news!

If it weren't so interesting, people would just ignore him and his work and he would run out of finances. As bad as his movies (and now games) are, it's nice having something around from the opposite end of the spectrum.

it does look stupid

but honestly not that stupid

it's not THE WORST THING I'VE SEEN, but i'd definitely not care about this

the tunnel thing looks like the most boring thing possible though


oh and it's probably the dumbest trailer i've seen in a long time

I was hoping he'd taken on the next iteration of Mortal Kombat vs DC. Can't wait for the movie of the game.

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.

the best part about the movie adaptation is that it will be accurate

Oh man, this is great. It doesn't look too bad, only cause it seems like all the other repetitive FPSs out there. Other than that, I dunno.

He already made the movie he's basing this game on http://www.movieset.com/tunnel-rats .

Apparently the movie is completely improvised!

lol

Apparently the movie is supposed to be actually watchable.  Variety gave it a surprisingly good review as did JoBlo.  (Not amazing or anything but medicore)

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.

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:
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.

lol, half life BREAK THE MOLD? good one, it is known as a great game, not an original game by ANY means

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.

headphonics is right. Seriously HL, shut the fuck up. Every time there is some gaming threat you're remotely interested in all you do is come in and act all elitist with your stupid ass opinions. I am so fucking tired of your attitude. You're only hating because it's Uwe Boll, and you still fail to understand that all the games you listed have had CONSIDERABLY LARGE BUDGETS. Don't you understand that this game is obviously not made with A SHITLOAD OF MONEY.
