Hey Tim, next time you demo a game, try not making your demo of it look like the first time you've played it, cause as the "executive producer" of the game it really makes you look like you just slapped your name on someone else's product.
I bought this game via steam with 19.99 USD,AND IT IS FUCKING AWESOME!!!! Don't care with the graphic shits,just pick up and play it,it's fucking awesome.
awww i still wish they have massive AI army that help you (and also improve them from dying) ,massive enemies that try to kill you, carry and bazooka that constantly shoot like a minigun :D
this game looks like a horrible 2007 game with endless slaughter, and thats why i ordered it :D btw is there infinite ammo besides reloading of course or is there a amount of extra ammo you carry?
When I got this game I thought it was just a random human killing giant bugs. Whoop de do. but then I saw the start was this was the things in my mind.=== HOLY SHAT CORNFLAKES IM A MECH? MECHY MECHY MECHY ROCKA! HEHEHEHEHEHE BOOOMX BOOOMZ. then I commented this comment.
Battlefield 3 is overhyped with the graphics. Without the light it does not look good anyway. Battlefield 3 is only good with the sound and effects, the graphics are meh.
- Ever heard of Metro 2033?
And why do you write "Assassins Screed"? Whats that kind of a game? Oh wait, do you mean "Assassins Creed"? : D - Prototype looks better than the first one. I have not even wanted to look at Revelations. It feels like CoD releases now. Releases every year.
it looks like something that might be OK to play with a few friends online. Just for shits n giggles. I definetly wouldn't buy it when it hits the shelves on it's release date. I'll wait til drops down to 19.99 :)
Graphics are "ok" gameplay is repetative as shit, like the guy says its just mass chaos which doesn't = fun its just shoot ants for 15minutes, move and shoot ships down for 10 minutes then move and take out more ants and spiders for 15 minutes. Bland boring gameplay.
@dudeman1540 In a dutch gamemagazine they say the game isn't doing anything new, is ugly as hell, but is funny as hell especially cuz you can play it with friends ( co-op)
Why are people complaining about enemies disappearing... Yes it was funny when they blew up and flew off in the distance but if I remember correctly when you shot down space ships in the first one they just crashed and then disappeared into the earth... I think they have tried to make some improvements to the overall experience and I amd def looking forward to this game...
@dl30wpb They didn't try to make improvements outside of the obligatory graphical upgrade (negligible) and the addition of online play*.
The game has in fact been NERFED in order to fit into an online compatible design model - something stipulated by M$ and Sorny for the game to get the go ahead.
*The game sold so poorly in the US - as most innovative and non FPSs tend to - so the only way another EDF was getting made for thus market is if the mainstreamers & casuals got what they wanted.
I believe the hallmark of EDF is not tons of enemies & weapons. The hallmark is balance between offense and defense. This video has killed my interest in your version. For 30 seconds starting at 4:23 you leisurely target the ship while the ground enemies are a minor annoyance. As though announcing you're going to do your laundry "let me shoot this first and then I'll show you the battle shield." Who decided to throw away the balance that made the first 3 games great? Big thumbs down.
@bulletpeople Do you think maybe the E3 demo was lowered a bit in terms of difficulty so journalists wouldn't immediately die and say the game is too hard?
Don't get mad at the producers get mad at yourselves or other people for bitching their whiny little asses off at "framrate troubles" for not as many enemies
why do the bugs disappear after they die so fast :/ i loved it when the spiders and ants would launch into orbit after a huge explosion..... so i see this not being as funny as the first :/ Grrrrrrrrrrrr
@BootboyJohnny but thats wat made it so epic in the first one... lol i loved seeing everything in slow motion as i was screaming while trying to stay alive hahah especially in the cave map lololoolol
Yeah man absolutely that's part of 2017s' charm. Just thinking about hitting those red ants with a rocket and watching 'em fly above you is hilarious! LOL! And they're still 'walking' in the sky! hahaha.
This or mortal kombat 9 can't decide. I don't play many fighting games and I love games similar to this game. So yeah I am leaning towards this game but looking for a second opinion.
I loved 2017 but I'm worried about this incarnation. What's up with the giant rectangle of a targeting reticule on the missile launcher? Also, not nearly enough enemies on screen and the flying ships don't look as good as 2017's.
Keeping my fingers crossed for this to turn out well.
The explosions and physics of defeated enemies is wholly disappointing -- two of EDF's most distinctive traits.
Also, despite the guy's rhetoric, the game was FAR from chaotic, and in fact he was hardly threatened, even though all he did for most part was stand there.
@Sablicious He's obviously playing on the easiest difficulty or has some dev cheats on..They all do when they show off their games, dying mid-game isn't good when your showing off the game,wastes time.
But even if it is the easiest level, there are only three difficulty levels now; effectively making only two worth bothering with for anyone not wanting a completely brain-dead experience.
Also, to assume is to makes an 'ass' of 'u' and 'me'.
@Sablicious Overall I think it looks good, but you are definitely right about the enemies just disappearing! He kills the spider boss and it evaporates! It's funny, but would be unsatisfying to beat a tough boss and it just disappears...
@mraupp Yeah. The game LOOKS fine. But not 'EDF fine'.
Whenever I think EDF I think bugs comically careening through the sky, massive explosions that make you squint and that clam before and after the storm of the enemy swarm. All game-defining idiosyncracies this game seems to have forsaken.
@Sablicious This was stated by a developer. The suits are heavily leveled and they are playing on the easiest difficulty. They want to showcase the game but it would be really hard for them to do that if they were constantly dieing. Plus you have the two squad a.i. characters drawing the attention of some of the bugs. In the final product once you finish the campaign once there will be an option to turn off the a.i. squadmates so you can fight on your own.
You have TWO AI team mates. That's it! Three Vs millions
Plus the AI is derrr-dumb stupid because he's playing on "normal" (quoted from a dev). The reason the enemy numbers, the explosions, and enemy sizes have been nerfed is because M$ and Sorny wanted an online compatible game - 2017-esque blasts, bug swarms & gargantuan monsters wouldn't work online
In summation: The game has been whored due to it being geared to the Western, online scrubbery-loving market
@Sablicious They chose to add online because fans wanted it. The enemy sizes haven't been nerfed. Yes the explosions were toned down but that is a fair trade for stable frame rate and solid connection.
Also you do realize there will still be bug swarms and giant enemies. So your claim that they wouldn't work online is bull.
@12WaterPhoenix12 "Fans' did not want online play - they wanted LOCAL CO-OP; which would've been dropped if it wasn't for the likes of ME creating 'boycott' threads in Facebook. M$ & Sorny call the shots on what games are made for their consoles.
There are no 'swarms'. Enemies now spawn in close-ish proximity to players to try give the feeling of a continuous swarm. This was done because lulls in play + insane rushes wouldn't work online.
These are the 'choices' they made. They chose... poorly
@Sablicious You obviously haven't spent much time on the boards for 2017. The most common thing I saw people post was that they wished it had online co op as well so that they could play with friends easier. The fans did want online co op in addition to local.
As for swarms numerous previews have all stated that the swarms are still there. They just aren't as noticable due to the overpowerd player on the easiest difficulty.
And MS and sony have no say in game design. That is solely the devs.
Go here -- read: gamefaqs . com/boards/606328-earth-defense-force-insect-armageddon/59582688
Enjoy your watered down 'EDF Americana'... with it's precious online lag fiesta. Fortunately for those of us who are fans of EDF for its EDF-ness, we have the 360 and Ps2 version; which have near infinite replay anyway.
I'm done trying to convince people of patent facts that are staring them in the face.
@Sablicious Yes I never claimed they didn't tone it down so that online would run smoothly. But the swarms are still there they just come in continuous waves sending more in as you kill them rather than one big push. The large enemies are still there (see the drop ships, boomer spider, mantis, small hectors, plus the confirmed bigger hector). You still have the insane number of weapons more infact than 2017.
@12WaterPhoenix12 Read your comments back - u IMPLIED the addition of online play was made because EDF fans wanted it - false - & this mode somehow makes the game better; when in actuality so many sacrifices have been made to accommodate it that it makes it redundant.
Swarms - dumped; now 'streams' - dictionary . com is your friend
Giant enemies - nerfed & far less relevant (see: disinterested spider)
Weapons - there but pick-ups gone, defeating the point of already quite samey weapons.
@Sablicious as for your claim that online was not added because fans wanted it. So you are saying that a large number of fans saying they wish the game had online so they could play with their friends easier doesn't mean the fans wanted it? It pretty much does. A lot of fans on the message boards for 2017 constantly stated and made topics that they wished it had online which means the fans wanted it.
@Sablicious Wow bugs don't fly through the air. That doesn't effect the gameplay at all. It just allows the game (single and online) to run smootly. If 2017 had done it they wouldn't have had near the lag issues they had.
Pick ups are still there. 1/3 of the available weapons are drop only from the bigger enemies. And the store system has nothing to do with online.
Way points were in the prior games as well such as in the cave levels when a patch of blue would appear and you were told to go aid those soldiers. Or a patch of red would appear on a distant part of the map and you were told to go kill them.
The new a.i allies are more useful. In 2017 your allies would all be dead about half way through the fight leaving you all alone. Now you have 2 stronger allies who are going to stay the entire fight.
the health pick ups are also good or do you enjoy the idea of having little to no health while your human controlled allies take all the health (accidentally or on purpose) leaving you screwed.
The corny dialogue is still there. In fact it has been confirmed that many of the lines from 2017 are in the second game as well.
@12WaterPhoenix12 You're obviously buying this irrespective of what I say or whatever they do to EDF to get this on shelves. This is the very definition of fanboyism.
Me, I'm a DISCERNING GAMER long before any brand fawning fanboy. I love EDF 2017 & it's one of the very few games I'll pop back in long after the 360 & Live is dead.
But that doesn't excuse the fact that this game is a pale shadow of its former self. To deny this & just cite feeble excuses is why devs get away with such liberties
@Sablicious you obviously have discerning confused with delusional. You claim all this stuff is gone when it isn't.
Swarms. Still there they continually come as you kill them. You kill one another shows up. In the end you only have 15-20 on screen but it plays the same as 2017 because for every one you kill another shows up. You never had more than 15-20 enemies attacking you at once in 2017 in the first place. They were on the screen but only the 10-15 within direct range were attacking.
swarms- different method but still there- confirmed
giant enemies- confrimed
destructable environment- confirmed
big explosions- toned down a little but they still have big explosions- confirmed
enemy variety- 2 types of spiders, 2 types of ants, 2 types of hectors, 2 types of wasps, mantis, boomer spider, ticks, bid daddy long legs, drop ships, flyers, etc-confrimed
all of these things are confirmed to be in the game
@Sablicious Just saying but Microsoft and Sony didn't "want" anything from this game. Based on that comment alone I can instantly tell that you have no idea what you're talking about.
Microsoft and Sony have nothing to do with this game. They own and distribute the consoles that the game will be played on, but that doesn't give them any say-so on the game's content. Ultimately that comes down to Namco Bandai, since they're the ones who are paying all of the bills.
@l3awl3ag "It’s a sad fact of this business that game series’ with poor sales usually don’t continue. As fun as all of us know that 2017 was, it didn’t sell a lot of copies here (in the US). At all. Most games that sell like it did wouldn't come to the west again[...] Main stipulations were: A. Make it have more appeal to western gamers, and B. Online Co-op." -IA lead designer, Jim Richardson.
Who would stipulate this if not the companies that back the game?
@Sablicious And on a related note. How the fuck did you manage to go from saying that Sony ordered the game be nerfed to,
"The game has been whored due to it being geared to the Western, online scrubbery-loving market"
You DO realize that Sony is based in Japan right..? Not only that but as a company they tend to cater to their own before they do to us westerners (which is fair enough).
I love how none of the recent comments "at least past 10 pages" have nothing to do with the video or this game. It's all bashing COD and trollolololing. Awesome.

The explosions and physics of defeated enemies is wholly disappointing -- two of EDF's most distinctive traits.
Also, despite the guy's rhetoric, the game was FAR from chaotic, and in fact he was hardly threatened, even though all he did for most part was stand there.
This might be playable, but it's NO EDF2.

@Sablicious He's obviously playing on the easiest difficulty or has some dev cheats on..They all do when they show off their games, dying mid-game isn't good when your showing off the game,wastes time.

@xCrimsonGear That would be the assumption.
But even if it is the easiest level, there are only three difficulty levels now; effectively making only two worth bothering with for anyone not wanting a completely brain-dead experience.
Also, to assume is to makes an 'ass' of 'u' and 'me'.

@Sablicious Overall I think it looks good, but you are definitely right about the enemies just disappearing! He kills the spider boss and it evaporates! It's funny, but would be unsatisfying to beat a tough boss and it just disappears...

@mraupp Yeah. The game LOOKS fine. But not 'EDF fine'.
Whenever I think EDF I think bugs comically careening through the sky, massive explosions that make you squint and that clam before and after the storm of the enemy swarm. All game-defining idiosyncracies this game seems to have forsaken.

@Sablicious This was stated by a developer. The suits are heavily leveled and they are playing on the easiest difficulty. They want to showcase the game but it would be really hard for them to do that if they were constantly dieing. Plus you have the two squad a.i. characters drawing the attention of some of the bugs. In the final product once you finish the campaign once there will be an option to turn off the a.i. squadmates so you can fight on your own.

@12WaterPhoenix12 "squads" - lol!
You have TWO AI team mates. That's it! Three Vs millions
Plus the AI is derrr-dumb stupid because he's playing on "normal" (quoted from a dev). The reason the enemy numbers, the explosions, and enemy sizes have been nerfed is because M$ and Sorny wanted an online compatible game - 2017-esque blasts, bug swarms & gargantuan monsters wouldn't work online
In summation: The game has been whored due to it being geared to the Western, online scrubbery-loving market
Sablicious 7 months ago
@Sablicious They chose to add online because fans wanted it. The enemy sizes haven't been nerfed. Yes the explosions were toned down but that is a fair trade for stable frame rate and solid connection.
Also you do realize there will still be bug swarms and giant enemies. So your claim that they wouldn't work online is bull.
12WaterPhoenix12 7 months ago
@12WaterPhoenix12 "Fans' did not want online play - they wanted LOCAL CO-OP; which would've been dropped if it wasn't for the likes of ME creating 'boycott' threads in Facebook. M$ & Sorny call the shots on what games are made for their consoles.
There are no 'swarms'. Enemies now spawn in close-ish proximity to players to try give the feeling of a continuous swarm. This was done because lulls in play + insane rushes wouldn't work online.
These are the 'choices' they made. They chose... poorly
Sablicious 7 months ago
@Sablicious You obviously haven't spent much time on the boards for 2017. The most common thing I saw people post was that they wished it had online co op as well so that they could play with friends easier. The fans did want online co op in addition to local.
As for swarms numerous previews have all stated that the swarms are still there. They just aren't as noticable due to the overpowerd player on the easiest difficulty.
And MS and sony have no say in game design. That is solely the devs.

Enjoy your watered down 'EDF Americana'... with it's precious online lag fiesta. Fortunately for those of us who are fans of EDF for its EDF-ness, we have the 360 and Ps2 version; which have near infinite replay anyway.
I'm done trying to convince people of patent facts that are staring them in the face.
Sablicious 7 months ago
@Sablicious Yes I never claimed they didn't tone it down so that online would run smoothly. But the swarms are still there they just come in continuous waves sending more in as you kill them rather than one big push. The large enemies are still there (see the drop ships, boomer spider, mantis, small hectors, plus the confirmed bigger hector). You still have the insane number of weapons more infact than 2017.
Swarms- check
giant enemies- check
tons of weapons- check
12WaterPhoenix12 7 months ago
@12WaterPhoenix12 Read your comments back - u IMPLIED the addition of online play was made because EDF fans wanted it - false - & this mode somehow makes the game better; when in actuality so many sacrifices have been made to accommodate it that it makes it redundant.
Swarms - dumped; now 'streams' - dictionary . com is your friend
Giant enemies - nerfed & far less relevant (see: disinterested spider)
Weapons - there but pick-ups gone, defeating the point of already quite samey weapons.
Sablicious 7 months ago
@Sablicious as for your claim that online was not added because fans wanted it. So you are saying that a large number of fans saying they wish the game had online so they could play with their friends easier doesn't mean the fans wanted it? It pretty much does. A lot of fans on the message boards for 2017 constantly stated and made topics that they wished it had online which means the fans wanted it.
12WaterPhoenix12 7 months ago
@12WaterPhoenix12 [cont]
Trademark skyward careening bugs - dumped (for online's sake)
Pick-ups - dumped (online related)
Way points - accentuated (in the interests of online play continuity)
AI allies - gimped, now only 2, who are in fact only your human friends taken over when playing alone
Health pick-ups - now 'communal' where your buddies' pick-up affects others also (see: Gen Wii gaming)
Corny dialogue - naturally MIA given US devs 'don't get' why bad Ingrish translation is funny.
Sablicious 7 months ago
@Sablicious Wow bugs don't fly through the air. That doesn't effect the gameplay at all. It just allows the game (single and online) to run smootly. If 2017 had done it they wouldn't have had near the lag issues they had.
Pick ups are still there. 1/3 of the available weapons are drop only from the bigger enemies. And the store system has nothing to do with online.
cont in next post...
12WaterPhoenix12 7 months ago
@Sablicious cont from previous..
Way points were in the prior games as well such as in the cave levels when a patch of blue would appear and you were told to go aid those soldiers. Or a patch of red would appear on a distant part of the map and you were told to go kill them.
The new a.i allies are more useful. In 2017 your allies would all be dead about half way through the fight leaving you all alone. Now you have 2 stronger allies who are going to stay the entire fight.
cont in third post..
12WaterPhoenix12 7 months ago
@Sablicious cont from 2nd previous...
the health pick ups are also good or do you enjoy the idea of having little to no health while your human controlled allies take all the health (accidentally or on purpose) leaving you screwed.
The corny dialogue is still there. In fact it has been confirmed that many of the lines from 2017 are in the second game as well.
cont in final post...
12WaterPhoenix12 7 months ago
@12WaterPhoenix12 You're obviously buying this irrespective of what I say or whatever they do to EDF to get this on shelves. This is the very definition of fanboyism.
Me, I'm a DISCERNING GAMER long before any brand fawning fanboy. I love EDF 2017 & it's one of the very few games I'll pop back in long after the 360 & Live is dead.
But that doesn't excuse the fact that this game is a pale shadow of its former self. To deny this & just cite feeble excuses is why devs get away with such liberties
Sablicious 7 months ago
@Sablicious you obviously have discerning confused with delusional. You claim all this stuff is gone when it isn't.
Swarms. Still there they continually come as you kill them. You kill one another shows up. In the end you only have 15-20 on screen but it plays the same as 2017 because for every one you kill another shows up. You never had more than 15-20 enemies attacking you at once in 2017 in the first place. They were on the screen but only the 10-15 within direct range were attacking.
12WaterPhoenix12 7 months ago
@Sablicious cheesiness. It is still there. It is a known fact that they have taken some of the dialogue from 2017 and put it into insect armageddon.
Drops. Still there. 1/3 of weapons can only be gained as drops.
giant enemies. Still there. Mantis, boomer spiders, 2 kinds of hectors, drop ships, big daddy long legs.
12WaterPhoenix12 7 months ago
@Sablicious cont from previous posts...
So lets see:
lots of guns- confirmed
swarms- different method but still there- confirmed
giant enemies- confrimed
destructable environment- confirmed
big explosions- toned down a little but they still have big explosions- confirmed
enemy variety- 2 types of spiders, 2 types of ants, 2 types of hectors, 2 types of wasps, mantis, boomer spider, ticks, bid daddy long legs, drop ships, flyers, etc-confrimed
all of these things are confirmed to be in the game
12WaterPhoenix12 7 months ago
@Sablicious Just saying but Microsoft and Sony didn't "want" anything from this game. Based on that comment alone I can instantly tell that you have no idea what you're talking about.
Microsoft and Sony have nothing to do with this game. They own and distribute the consoles that the game will be played on, but that doesn't give them any say-so on the game's content. Ultimately that comes down to Namco Bandai, since they're the ones who are paying all of the bills.

@l3awl3ag "It’s a sad fact of this business that game series’ with poor sales usually don’t continue. As fun as all of us know that 2017 was, it didn’t sell a lot of copies here (in the US). At all. Most games that sell like it did wouldn't come to the west again[...] Main stipulations were: A. Make it have more appeal to western gamers, and B. Online Co-op." -IA lead designer, Jim Richardson.
Who would stipulate this if not the companies that back the game?
The game's out. It's a fail. Enjoy.

@Sablicious And on a related note. How the fuck did you manage to go from saying that Sony ordered the game be nerfed to,
"The game has been whored due to it being geared to the Western, online scrubbery-loving market"
You DO realize that Sony is based in Japan right..? Not only that but as a company they tend to cater to their own before they do to us westerners (which is fair enough).
