Posted January 3, 200619 yr Late yesterday Electronic Arts surprised the gaming world by announcing a release date for their upcoming PS2/Xbox FPS title Black. So hold on to your hats - the game releases in two months on February 28th. The title will retail for $49.99 on both platforms, yet so far EA has been hush-hush on actual details about the gameplay, outside of the fact that players will wield a wide range of destructive weaponry and also be able to reduce their surroundings to rubble. According to EA, "Join the world's most brutal and enigmatic strike force. The BLACK tactical squad operates under the cloak of complete anonymity and deniability to protect the US from threats foreign and domestic. It answers to no one, allowing it to carry out brutal and overt operations around the globe. From manipulating politicians to controlling intelligence networks and militaries, BLACK operatives are trained at the highest level in psychological warfare, espionage, and lethal arts. Go deep into the world of clandestine warfare as you use any means necessary to get the job done." If anyone has seen footage from this game made by the same guys who made burnout, its.. well.. Amazing. Its releasing for both the Xbox and PS2, so please don't turn this thread into a console war (Gamecube is left out :\ ) http://img.gamespot.com/gamespot/images/2005/332/920890_20051129_screen001.jpg http://img.gamespot.com/gamespot/images/2005/332/920890_20051129_screen002.jpg http://img.gamespot.com/gamespot/images/2005/305/920901_20051101_screen003.jpg http://img.gamespot.com/gamespot/images/2005/139/920890_20050520_screen001.jpg Looks even better in motion - http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/black/media.html Comments or opinions on how you think this game is going to come out?
January 3, 200619 yr the last pictures building looks like HL2 lol :thinker: too bad this won't be out for PC, FPS game are gay on keypads
January 3, 200619 yr ya i refuse to play any fps on console systems, just doesnt do it for me NO SHIT. console fps are for people who are too stupid to play them on PC's, or who don't have the skills/fast reflexes. playing fps on console is like playing in a mudpit with weights on your feet and arms.

January 3, 200619 yr You doubt it will look that good? Yeah! Yeeah! I agree!! Yeah that mush be the PC version screenshots! yeah YHEaah that's it! YEah it will only look that good runnning on the new GeForse 9800XT-GTS-6-speed-GT-R-iVTEC Aluminium x64 Edition! I think it will look that good. But I also believe that that the idea of a FPS on a console is a bad idea to begin with, FPS's without mouse-look are clumsy at best.
January 3, 200619 yr Holy shit, it looks like real life. Oh wait, it's EA. £100 says it's more fun to play with your own turd than play this game.
January 3, 200619 yr Author I seriously hope that there is going to be a PC release of this game. I posted the movie section that shows gameplay from ingame, it really does look like that ingame. The AI is crazy, people duck/take cover when reloading, will try to flank. Its just an awesome game. I can't wait until february 28th. I'll at least rent the game.
January 3, 200619 yr The only fps I like on consoles is Timesplitters, but then that game rocks anyway.
January 3, 200619 yr That game doesn't look fun and sounds generic as all shit FPS games usually suck anyway with the excepeition of timesplitters,goldeneye,HL1 and 2,Halo1&2
January 3, 200619 yr In my opinion, this game looks insanely awesome. IF they do release it for PC, I will be soo happy! And yes, this game looks like it's my favorite yet.
January 3, 200619 yr ok let me get this straight the game looks like shit, and these screens have been photoshopped, its got added bloom and everything. http://pix.nofrag.com/4d/cc/05961448e88d0c12d181da2e0fd3.jpg and what the fuck is up with these impacts on the ground ? it looks distorded, and doesnt have the right angle at all
January 3, 200619 yr Those screens look like utter dogshit, the textures look yucky. And no, I doubt they've been photoshopped, Guild Wars had the same post effects as far as light and "bloom" are concerned.

They do that in half life 2 anyway, and do it in splinter cell chaos theory.

This game is going to own. They do that in half life 2 anyway, and do it in splinter cell chaos theory. True, but this is a much grittier game, have you watched the videos yet?

January 4, 200619 yr looks pretty fucking sweet graphics wise for juse being playstation 2, but if that was a PC game, I wouldnt even bother.
January 4, 200619 yr Every peice of cement and shit flying out from the explosion is in the shape of a puzzle piece. tetris motherfucker
January 4, 200619 yr Author Every peice of cement and shit flying out from the explosion is in the shape of a puzzle piece. Yea, ok. You have a point but thats a still of something that you're only supposed to see for maybe.. what, 1/2 a second? They're not going to re-render 3D little cubes flying around just to have it be there for 1/2 a second. Those of you bashing this game and haven't seen the gameplay demos need to reconsider before even posting. If you had watched them you'd see that pretty much everything is destructable, and having 3D things like that flying out of a wall would probably lag the PS2 and Xbox real bad. In short, just watch the damn videos. Termight - Why wouldn't you bother? If it were released on a PC you'd have a mouse and keyboard. EDIT - Please c0rd show me a FPS coming out sometime in 2006 on the PS2 that looks better than that.
