I don't know about all this to be honest... The banner looks kinda cool and all but for those saying it's based on the reputation of the developer - I'm yet to actually enjoy a freeverse game. Sure, the add has gotten the game publicity (of which there is no such thing as bad). But it will mostly sell if TA review + forum says it's good, and a banner won't change that.
Firstly, as we're properly announcing the game at tomorrow's iPhone Launch Party, we've agreed not to release any details until then and secondly we've found that releasing details too soon about a game can have a negative impact. Besides, where would the surprise be then?
I'm telling you: if it's a 3D Cannon Fodder I will die of a heart attack. That would be the absolute best possible outcome.
This. Seriously. When I saw the banner I thought of Cannon Fodder immediately, this would indeed be the best possible outcome.
Hi SonnykinG, welcome to TA! It's a great place to ask questions, but reading what others have posted you'll find the answer to most of your questions!
Warpack: Grunts just got submitted to the App Store. Watch out for the video from tonight's iPhone Launch Party and the game should show up on the App Store (assuming approval goes ok) in about 2 weeks time.
Wow. I'm watching it live and it looks great. It's my kind of game. The graphics looks good from as far as I can tell. A strategy game but all the weapons and special effects and sounds are awesome. Thoughts? EDIT: Vehicles too!! Awesome! Can't wait till this gets released. $0.99!!! Wow!! That's a steal!
I guessed right. I knew it would be a cannon fodder type game right from the start when I first was that ad. It looks excellent, like cannon fodder with updated graphics.
Anything randomized or are they running through carefully hand crafted levels with scripted enemy and powerup placement?
I believe the story mode has a scripted enemy but I'm not entirely sure. There might be another mode with random placement of enemies or wave after wave of enemy but details are scarce at the moment.
Saw the gameplay video. It's so... amazingly average. I don't see the big deal in the graphics or gameplay at all. Without that art banner being touted everywhere for the last few weeks and a special reveal spot at WWWC, none of s would have cared that much to be honest. I'll let the vid speak for itself. Yeah? No. At least we still have the cool banner:
I'm hyped for it cause I had a game just like this on my phone before and I loved it. I'm hoping that it's gonna be just as good or even better.
I'd love to see something like this IF there is some sort of randomized Survival Mode...but if it is only working my way through a scripted campaign I'll be taking a big pass.
