Hendo Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Currently downloading the trial of this and I'm guaranteed to pay the mere 400 points for the full thing. Anyone who's been keeping an eye on the new Assassin's Creed multiplayer will have the general idea. You're told which character you have to find and kill, meanwhile someone else is after you. The previous game by the developer was The Ship which was the same idea and was PC only, also via Steam. The dev has been shut down now and doesn't have many good things to say about Ubisoft, who published this. <object width="640" height="360" data="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/video/flash/flowplayer-3.2.4_10005.swf?config=%7B%22key%22%3A%22%23%40b549b3cbe0f4ce68961%22%2C%22clip%22%3A%7B%22scaling%22%3A%20%22fit%22%7D%2C%22canvas%22%3A%7B%22background%22%3A%22%23000000%22%2C%22backgroundGradient%22%3A%22none%22%7D%2C%22playlist%22%3A%5B%22http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.giantbomb.com%2Fuploads%2F2%2F23534%2F1613833-h1.png%22%2C%20%7B%22autoPlay%22%3Afalse%2C%22url%22%3A%22http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.giantbomb.com%2Fvideo%2Fvf_bloodygoodtime_ql_102910_1500.mp4%22%7D%5D%2C%22plugins%22%3A%7B%22controls%22%3A%7B%22url%22%3A%22http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.giantbomb.com%2Fmedia%2Fvideo%2Fflash%2Fflowplayer.controls-3.2.2_10003.swf%22%2C%22autoHide%22%3A%22always%22%2C%22timeColor%22%3A%22%23cc0000%22%2C%22bufferGradient%22%3A%22none%22%2C%22volumeSliderColor%22%3A%22%23333333%22%2C%22durationColor%22%3A%22%23ffffff%22%2C%22sliderColor%22%3A%22%23333333%22%2C%22tooltipTextColor%22%3A%22%23ffffff%22%2C%22backgroundGradient%22%3A%22none%22%2C%22timeBgColor%22%3A%22%23000%22%2C%22borderRadius%22%3A%220px%22%2C%22tooltipColor%22%3A%22%23000%22%2C%22buttonColor%22%3A%22%23cc0000%22%2C%22sliderGradient%22%3A%22none%22%2C%22progressColor%22%3A%22%23cc0000%22%2C%22bufferColor%22%3A%22%23666666%22%2C%22volumeSliderGradient%22%3A%22none%22%2C%22buttonOverColor%22%3A%22%23990000%22%2C%22progressGradient%22%3A%22medium%22%2C%22backgroundColor%22%3A%22%23111111%22%7D%7D%7D" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="movie" value="http://media.giantbomb.com/media/video/flash/flowplayer-3.2.4_10005.swf?config=%7B%22key%22%3A%22%23%40b549b3cbe0f4ce68961%22%2C%22clip%22%3A%7B%22scaling%22%3A%20%22fit%22%7D%2C%22canvas%22%3A%7B%22background%22%3A%22%23000000%22%2C%22backgroundGradient%22%3A%22none%22%7D%2C%22playlist%22%3A%5B%22http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.giantbomb.com%2Fuploads%2F2%2F23534%2F1613833-h1.png%22%2C%20%7B%22autoPlay%22%3Afalse%2C%22url%22%3A%22http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.giantbomb.com%2Fvideo%2Fvf_bloodygoodtime_ql_102910_1500.mp4%22%7D%5D%2C%22plugins%22%3A%7B%22controls%22%3A%7B%22url%22%3A%22http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.giantbomb.com%2Fmedia%2Fvideo%2Fflash%2Fflowplayer.controls-3.2.2_10003.swf%22%2C%22autoHide%22%3A%22always%22%2C%22timeColor%22%3A%22%23cc0000%22%2C%22bufferGradient%22%3A%22none%22%2C%22volumeSliderColor%22%3A%22%23333333%22%2C%22durationColor%22%3A%22%23ffffff%22%2C%22sliderColor%22%3A%22%23333333%22%2C%22tooltipTextColor%22%3A%22%23ffffff%22%2C%22backgroundGradient%22%3A%22none%22%2C%22timeBgColor%22%3A%22%23000%22%2C%22borderRadius%22%3A%220px%22%2C%22tooltipColor%22%3A%22%23000%22%2C%22buttonColor%22%3A%22%23cc0000%22%2C%22sliderGradient%22%3A%22none%22%2C%22progressColor%22%3A%22%23cc0000%22%2C%22bufferColor%22%3A%22%23666666%22%2C%22volumeSliderGradient%22%3A%22none%22%2C%22buttonOverColor%22%3A%22%23990000%22%2C%22progressGradient%22%3A%22medium%22%2C%22backgroundColor%22%3A%22%23111111%22%7D%7D%7D" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="whiskey-video-id" value="3432" /><param name="wmode" value="opaque" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" /></object> Who fancies a game?

Hendo Posted October 31, 2010 Author Share Posted October 31, 2010 Given it a go offline and online. It feels very much like a Team Fortress 2 mod which maybe explains why it's cheap but you can have fun with it. There's various modes that the director will shout out to you as the game goes on - there's simple deathmatches, go after your prey, infection "it/tag" games and one where you have to hold onto an Oscar statue for as long as possible, among others. You also have 3 things to juggle, your tiredness, your hunger and your bottom. Get sleepy and you'll have to find a bed or seat and have a nap, find some food or find a toilet. There's also NPC guards and security cameras around and you can't be seen to be holding a weapon or killing innocent people so if you start killing people that you're not meant to then you will be punished. Worth a look, and if anyone gets it we'll have to organise a game because there's not many playing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illdog Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I'd be up for this. If a couple want in for some multi i'd pony up the points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomahawk Rob Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Saw this over the weekend and downloaded the trial, but haven't given it a go yet, but if it's only 400 points and is as fun as you say, I'm in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hinn888 Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Im saw a trailer ages ago and had no idea what it was.. the tiny bit of gameplay did seem ok tho, i'll download the trial soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I was always intrigued by The Ship so it's cool a game like that has hit the consoles, but if the community is dead then that isn't very appealing. I don't think I have quite enough spare points, anyway. The rebate that comes through will be for exporting RB2 songs to RB3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certainly fun but I can see why it's cheap. Not sure how much you'll see from the trial as I just went straight for the full version but you can play offline with bots.

hinn888 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Ive tried it and tbh i still dont understand some of it. Whats the point with the hunger, sleeping and shitting? Its so hard to find people to when its 1 on 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted November 4, 2010 Author Share Posted November 4, 2010 It's not a normal deathmatch game, you don't go round killing everyone you see. The sleep/hunger/poo breaks are to add a bit of depth to the play - you can't just camp somewhere for the whole game, basically. The game modes will change as the round progresses, should be fairly obvious what you have to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hinn888 Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I think the first mode i did play was a deathmatch. Spent most my time running around looking for people. Im still unsure if i shud buy it, need to give it another go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 http://www.trueachievements.com/n2325/xbla-sales-figures--october.htm This sold 343 copies. That's quite sad man. Should have slapped a sponsor on it and given it away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 Between that and the developer getting shut down, what a cursed game! I guess there goes my chance of being able to find a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
