The Bourne Conspiracy Demo

[cooliofoolio]

Anyone else play this? Let me know what you think. It's definately no button masher I believe. If anyone played dark sector you'll remember when you had to push X or other buttons to perform finishers and such. Besides the fact they have the Unreal engine (which makes them similar in a lot of ways... obviously.) In the Bourne demo you have to dodge a vehicle in a plane before it crushes you so to do so you have to press a button at the right time but if you're pressing any other of the x,y,b,a butttons you only see what you have to press for a split second. One plus is there is alot of checkpoints so when you get arrested or die you dont go to far back. I dunno. I've got mixed feelings about this. Not only because it's after a movie but like the movie a lot of action sequences and very fast pace. Though I do like the ability to change from looking over your left shoulder to your right shoulder at any time. This eliminates a problem I've had with other games where only looking over the right shoulder limits certain shots like those that would need to be over the left shoulder to get a good clean headshot. The cutscenes flow together with the gameplay nicely so even though it seems like a lot is happening it's still comprehendable. But let me know what you guys thought.


yours truly,

Not seen it on the UK Marketplace. I would like to give it a try though.

God damn..Press ENTER once in a while.

I was gonna make a thread about it, but forgot.

Kinda agree with you.
It will be a fun game...but it will be pretty short.
I mean, unless it's all 3 (Excluding the recent book) in one game.

Rent when it comes out, i will

I played the demo and thought it was pretty good and worth a rent as XZ said. The mix between gameplay and the scenes while fighting was pretty good but did seem to happen often.

i'll have to try it out.

[cooliofoolio]

Yeah. I agree. The transition between the cinematics and the gameplay is fast and happens frequently (in the demo at least). I was impressed when you shimmy across the rope and the view changes for a more "movie" sense.

I fucking hated that, reminded me of DMC4.
I didn't finish the whole thing, because I went on to play the Kung Fu Panda demo, but what I played was pretty badass. But I don't see myself buying it.

If it had online, maybe. Then again, I can't see any kind of MP working well with this type of game.

[cooliofoolio]

I liked DMC4 though.

I played it the other day, completed the demo and found it to be one of the worst games I have played in a long time. The graphics are okay but they are only really noticeable on the enemies whilst the main character 'Bourne' is lacking major detail.

The game is full of pre-programmed cinematic sequences which really ruin the game as a whole and completely destroys any sense of being immersed into an enjoyable experience. This game also does a good job of providing sufficient evidence towards a lack of interactivity.

I played a good amount of the game using a single hand with pathetic boss fights only requiring one button to be used every time the boss attempts to finish you. The moves are great visually but you really don't feel like you are controlling them because as I mentioned earlier it's just set sequences. You just press the button and watch Bourne complete his deadly hit. You jump from a building and you are fully aware you will make it because it's a miniature cinematic. I'd heard promising things about this game but it completely fails to deliver. It shows similarities to the 'Kane & Lynch: Dead men' game in the gun fights and despite 'K&L' being a failure, it still managed to pull it off better than this take on the Bourne series.

Overall it's one heck of an epic fail.
