Meh, I'm still not filled with confidence over this product. Who is developing and publishing it? From what i can see in that photo it is probably going to be a first person game, which i still feel wouldnt be a good idea.

I'm a bit panicing because I feel that the first proper paintball game (on a console) needs to be somthing impressive. If this game stinks totaly and bombs in sales then it is going to proove even more to those cynical ******* publishers that there isnt a market for a paintball game........yet

isnt it a bit pointless?
Errrrrrrmmmmm No


Why not have a paintball game, have we not got games for others sports i.e. football,tennis so why not have it for paintball..

Plus gives the chance for the sport too grow more, let people see how paintball isnt a war game that its a sport..

The simular could be said to a lot of americans, 'why do you shoot paintball guns when you can go out and shoot some military hard ware you bought from Wal-mart?'

Different horses, different courses.

In a game context it's actually a valid point almost and one that would be very key if i was a publisher looking at funding a paintball (video) game. Why on earth would people want to play a game like this?

What any prospective game maker (i feel) needs to do is play to the sports strengths to get the public (and publishers) intrested. If companies try and tackle the game from a purely 'action' perspective, where you are simply a paintballer, running around a field, using a first person view to shoot at others ...then i think they will be doomed. Paintball's strength (as a sport) is in its strategy and its teamplay as well as the obvious adrenalin fueled excitment of a format like XBall. I think, to make the game stand out it will need to combine these factors, that way it can really impress the public...Because otherwise it would probably be regarded as some '3rd rate first person shooter where you don't kill anyone'

It's almost a totaly blank slate (excluding Lemmings Paintball, Digitial Paint for Half-Life & other rubbish) and hopefuly the development teams responsible will take a step back to realise they have a fantastic oportunity to be the first to define what a paintball video game is. Please guys, don't blow it beacuse if you do It won't give many other companies the confidence in financing another venture involving the sport.
