The Crossing





  • Story/Description:
    Quote:
    While details are as good as non-existant, Dark Messiah of Might & Magic developer Arkane Studios and the art Director of Half-Life 2 are working on an all new project, The Crossing, powered by Valve's Source engine. According to 1UP this game, if pulled off successfully, could create a new genre of gaming, as it merges singleplayer with multiplayer in what is being called crossplayer-FPS. The Crossing will be cover story on the next Games for Windows issue.


    Quote:
    1Up reveals in a 30 seconds video integrated in 2 minutes of blah the next FPS of Arkane, the developer of Dark Messiah. More precisely, it is announced like the play of the creators of Dark Messiah and the artistic director of Half-Life 2. Ca is called The Crossing, and the principle of the play seems to be to mix a play solo and a play multi. How exactly? One does not know yet, but if I believe it video, one would say already that there is coop.

    Oh, and it would be said well that that is held in a little devastated Lyon. More infos and a true trailer card should arrive about on January 19.

Well game company's after testing Vista and the news that this is a Internet dependent system will
make more and more game like this , remember kids Vista will kill the games ... how , they will kill off SP games , devs will make more and more mp only games and we all know what they are like ... too much noobs , too much time wasted to get to level 12 in your rpgs , no more i play alone , contend pulled out of ass ... even know we see Internet dependent games that secretly connect to net , for what you ask , for ads example : swat4 , splinter cell 3 and 4 , RB Six Vegas and so on ...

Arkane did a good job with might and magic even if it was a real bugparty at release so i think this game might have some potential but we won´t know for sure untill it´s released. Trailers and screenshots doesn´t mean that much nowadays, i mean trailers can make the crappiest game look like a gift from heaven Sad

Quote:
So what's cross-play? Here's the crib notes version for those who haven't had a chance to read GFW's cover story:

In the simplest sense, story missions are single-player shooting with an exception: Naturally intelligent human opponents take the place of A.I. There are two types of players: Elites and skirmishers. Elites are gamers playing the game in story mode. They're beefed up, heavily armored, and heavily armed. They have to be able to hold their own against a swarm of skirmish players. Skirmishers are gamers who typically play on multiplayer maps: well-trained, rank-and-file soldiers playing primarily to have some quick fun and increase their rank through defeating the occasional Elite. Skirmish players can also invade story maps and "possess" A.I.s ala Agent Smith in The Matrix.

Still confused? Producer Raphaël Colantonio and art director Viktor Antonov explain further.....

oh no, just from the trailer you can sense the "its going to take gaming to a new level"
"never seen before action, a game genre you have never played before" and all that crap.
in the end its the same as every other game.

Arkane sure knows how to make good games. This will probably be a very interesting game.

And YES! Yet another Source-game! It's SUCH a great engine!

A trailer taking you directly to the "in-game" shots.

That footage is old. Any new one? We haven't got an update for months now and this should have moved in production quite a lot.

New trailer, looks like a interesting game though it will be hard to say how things will turn out with this mix of singleplayer and multiplayer.

Seems you are right, still it has a slightly better resolution but that doesn't really matter much when everyone's already seen the footage since it's been available for some time now.

Looks like Arkane is still keeping most the details under wraps so to speak.

I will play this one for sure, I really enjoyed Dark Messiah. I waited until there were a number of patches before playing Dark Messiah though, in the end it seems the single player campaign was perfect i had no performance problems or anything like that.

The Dark Messiah port for the 360 is crap though, I hope they aren't behind that.

I think it may pan out like something similar to the left4dead MP campaign where you can choose a spawn point as an anemy soldier away from your opponents, and you run along side AI controlled fodder.
