lol, a friend of mine was working on his own independent game, and he thought of calling it Fallen Frontier, and he enthusiastically shared this new name with me. Then he Googled it and found this and was like, "Oh F--"
This isn't really made by Bungie but its been made by 3 co-workers from Bungie + an concept artist. So if people are whining about how stupid this game looks like, go get a life because you can't pull off a stunt like this with just 4 people.
BUNGIE MAKES JOKE HALO MMO IS FAKE and now they come with this? Watthefuck this looks fucking boring people are just going to buy this game because its bungie a fuck off man this is fucking crap :)
I bet this game will flop. This just looks like an online flash game. It probably is really polished, but nothing sets this apart from other games out now. The trailer was not exciting at all. I wounder how much the developers intend to charge for this game. I personally would not even want to try it let alone pay for it. The developers are in for a rude awakening if they think they can even get $5 for this. The only thing this game has going for it, is that it mentions Bungie.
The atmosphere and the graphics look well enough, but the character and enemy animations look so stiff and horrid WTF? looks like a 12 year old animated the characters. They all see to have the same walking animation.
The character and enemy art design looks pretty generic too. Game needs work before you can call this AAA design (like in your PAX interview)
@Gamethroughs This guy obviously hasn't played Super Metroid on the SNES. I'm sorry guys like you, and the others here hating on this game, had the misfortune of being born into the 3D gaming era instead of experiencing it when it was all about storyline/gameplay and not all about graphics back in the NES/SNES/Sega days.
By the way, most of this negative feed back are the 12 year olds seeing Bungie and looking for a new halo. I for one am glad you did something else like this. Good luck in this venture!
@pikoo0o I think the reason it's getting negative feedback is because people expected more from veteran Bungie employees, and frankly, this game looks like a slightly more polished flash game. What's wrong with that? Nothing... unless you were expecting something more.
@BCBtheBeastlyBeast yes but its only 4 bungie employees games take a large group of people and no matter how much skill you have as a programmer or a designer its still just 4 people as opposed to people like remedy with 40 and bungie with over 70 employees
Looks great, very interesting and promissing! Nice art direction also. You can clearly see the Bungie influence on the HUD design and the way the combat works (the sticky grenade throw, for example, and the overall physics).
Looks really really refined in some places where other sidescrolling games generally lack. For example the smooth splitscreen effect. Love the sounds and dark atmosphere, too. More mature than Shadow Complex and Bionic Commando Rearmed (I guess those are the two games you're going up against with a game like this).
@ChapmanII Except they didn't, this was made by a very small group of ex-Bungie employees, without the Bungie budget or workforce, I think it looks great for what it is.
Looking forward to more. I've been playing games for almost 30 years and can't wait to get back to sidescrolling... Intense guys !! Really intense ! Love the music.
Looks like the emo bastard child of Abuse and Bionic Commando. But why do indie titles always go for the sharp contrast/silhouette graphics? Sure looks artsy but you can do so much better.
At first glance that screen transition looks fake, but if you imagine the logistics of it and the position of the two players, it starts to make loads of sense. Interesting work guys
If this game adds in Competitive multiplayer ( Much like Soldat ) Then they can take my microsoft points right now. ( Also a level creator would be shweet to go along with it. )
there's potential there, wait & see.
