- Thread starter ChiZZerS
- Start date
Dunno where you got the August stuff from, everything I have seen/been told was that it would come out in November. I think the date was around the 10th or something although I can't say for sure.
Personally, I wouldn't hold out too much hope. The concept of a PROPER pb game is very un proven and it is coming from a rather obscure and small developer. Everything I've seen/heard so far has left a bad taste in my mouth, such as the (i feel) wholly inappropriate decision to approach the concept by using a 1st person perspective to try and ape action games like Halo and Rainbow Six 3. About 18 months ago I decided to write a bit of a game design document about how I feel a proper pb game should be done. Although I'm not quite prepared to spill all of the beans I will say that a game based on top level paintball needs to handle itself more like a sports game. Rather than going down the simple and obvious route of being a jumped-up 1st person shooter with odd looking paintguns instead of your usual AK-47s and MP5s. A lot of what paintball is about is player position, situation awareness and how the team works as a cohesive whole. These aspects I feel can only be appropriately realised by leaving the 1st person perspective well alone and instead using a 3rd person perspective more akin to other sports games.
I've given this speech many a time about this issue but I really think that this is the way it should be done if this game wants any sort of mass-market appeal out-side hardcore ballers. Who, apart from tourney ballers wants to play a 1st person action game with odd sounding guns that look like plumbing supplies, bright colours and a total absence of cool monsters and killing stuff?
Nerf Arena anyone?
ADDITIONAL PEDANTIC EDIT: The official notation of the system is 'Xbox' not 'X-Box', 'XBox', 'X Box' or any other variation.

that looks terrible!! the only way a paintball game would work would be if it was 3rd person top down. like Pro Evolution soccer...
Actually I think the game looks good. People shouldnt be knocking it before they have even played it.
i agree with 'TheBroz' a paintball game would be far to difficult to control from a first person perspective alone, it would be much easier to see what you are doing from a 3rd person.
I myself would like to see a combination of both the views just so people can play it how they like to
not looking like a bad game overall but when your competition (all halflife / unreal mods aside) included games like PAINTBALL HEROS you realise you have nothing to aspire to
now where did i leave my copy of half life ...
