well, quite honestly I couldnt care less if it lived up to the hype, hypes arent ever any good anyway, mostly they just misinform and disappoint
.
just know what to expect, when I saw the demonstration (2nd link)
I did think it seemed a little bit linear considered the setting,wouldnt it be cool if you had a hive type creature BEFORE sentience....or wouldnt it be cool to program a bunch of special instinct behaviors to make your beast kick ass?
but I KNOW that's expecting way too much, it IS going to be linear and with little real chances of creativity in each stage, but I think in the greater scope it would be pretty cool.
it is such a good idea anyway, I wouldnt care if it sucked. it's somewhat like GTA, I think GTA sucks monkey balls, but I am still glad it existed because it was the first of something great. this is just like that but in a much larger scale because the concept is much grander.
the only thing that would posibly suck if this came out is that it did so ****ing horrible nobody tried this again...like say, the virtualboy did.
Esus: hmm, maybe....it was a little weird in the city part when wright created an unit to fight the invaders off and it just flew away......
