This one snook in under my radar on Steam.

Looks interesting from the videos and screenies.

Anyone played it or been looking forward to it?

The story is actually quite good from what I saw after someone playing the whole game
I 'll include it in a spoiler

Basically alien invasion this guy and his one friend are on of the few survivors,guy believes he can find his daughter, they go looking for her, while combating aliens along the way. Meet other survivors after guy and his friend are locked up in alien space jail thing and break out. After some searching guy and his friend somehow get up in to space and discover that earth is inside like an alien dome. I can't remember what happens after but I think that's the gist of it. Also you get mavity guns and can traverse through non mavity zones and also make things float in the air and throw it at aliens.

I think it's pretty solid for a third person shooter.

Same here, radar wise. Just spotted it myself, on Steam.
Gotta love Namco, pure masters at this stuff.

I've been watching a walkthrough on youtube for the last hour or so, it seems pretty entertaining. I'd play it if I could

How do you embed youtube videos into the forum? I want to add a video of the gameplay to the thread.

Don't paste the whole link in. Quote someone else's without posting if you are unsure to see the format

Looks like a crazier version of Gears of War.

Wouldn't pay full price for it though.

Didn't Yahtzee review it and sound particularly unimpressed by it?

Shamikebab · 30 Jul 2012 at 23:13

Yeah Yahtzee was pretty scathing of it. Everything I've seen of it suggests that it's a crappy generic chest high walls fps with the occasional gimmick (kind of reminds me of that game that let you warp the earth a few years back, Fracture maybe?)

Uses Gamespy (surprised that service is still even running :eek:

) for online play services which pretty much answers any questions you might have about port quality :rolleyes:

typical Namco low budget game sold @ full price (like Ridge Racer Unbounded which is now £5.95 if you know where to look!). Give this a month or 2 it will be very cheap to buy @ retail.

Not sure how gamespy relates to quality of game? Arma 2 uses it and it works very well.
