Legendary - Has anyone seen anything about this game? [trailers]

gamerzlore

So I found some info for this new FPS game coming out on PS3 and X-Box and I thought it looked awesome. It kind of reminded me of BioShock. The monsters look awesome! Werewolfs, nari, and minotaurs ohhh yea =D the titan class looked cool too. I can't wait to get this game. I preordered it already too and wanted to share the trailers if anyone hasn't seen any yet.

How do you want me to do that? =/ I'm not...if you can't take my word for it I don't know what else to do about it.

Metal Gear Solid 2 Demo

Convince me you aren't food

No thoughts at all? =/ I can post more trailers lol XD

I like the concept art a bunch, but man.. you're coming on a little strong there..

"seeing a scene where a human being gets ripped to shreds is really satisfying"

I just checked out the second video and if that's the cool backstory then.. uh..



I guess the guys writing need to perhaps read more than a one line description of the premise of the Pandora's box legend..

gamerzlore

Yea sorry. I just haven't seen like any love for this game all I see is comparisons to Turning Point, which is fine but come on the company can learn from it's mistakes. I really hope it's not a big let down.

gamerzlore

eh the second one really isn't the backstory either it's just some of the creatures from what I can tell.

TyrantCow

My mother always said, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."

Ashendark

Cool premise and all but I can't help but get the feeling that this game will be crap. I'm not sure it's the lack of actual gameplay footage or that it's developed by Spark that tells me not to expect much. It's probably because the vids just show a bunch of flashy shit and no substance.

Food

Actually, now that I think about it I think I saw footage of this game on the 1up show a while ago. It actually looks pretty good for such an under-the-radar game. It looks a little bit generic at the moment, but it could turn out to be worthwhile. I'll be keeping an eye on this one.

PS: Sorry for thinking you were a shill, it just seemed suspicious that you registered today and that this was your first thread.

YAY for PC too. Nowadays whenever I see a good looking game, I get nervous to see whether or not i'll be out for PC, too.

urahonky

Always worries me when they say stuff like: "Never been done before..." "Totally unique..." because it's always a downright lie.

But I will try the demo if/when it comes out.

brynstar

I will definitely have to try this out before I have any real opinion on it. I thought Turning Point was going to come out much better than it actually did, and my gut instinct is to say this looks cool, but I don't know if it has the budget/talent to back up the idea.

potatoebutt

this looks like a rad fps. i so totally dig the creature designs and these trailers are KILLER!!! Serious have to pre-order to get this before all the rest of yo mofo's!!! COOL!!

Trevor

Am I the only one who tried to look up "nari" to see what the hell it was, only to find that it isn't on Wikipedia? I've been forced to assume that it is a nonsense word that has been made up to make me feel silly.

LOL NO! I did too! I think they wanted to add in a made up one to trip up people who are into mythology =P

Zoku Gojira

I just tried the demo on XBL.

Wow, it's bad. Bad weapons, bad enemies. Stupid glowing shit everywhere. Keypads every ten feet. Forget a hacking minigame. Hold X for a while. Hell, tape it down, get a sandwich, come back later.

Well, I did laugh out loud once. "There it is... Minotaur! Minotaur!"

Supersplines

That looks terrible....

Dr.Funkenstein

I was hoping it'd be good

The premise was cool

But alas

FreddyD

I played this at PAX. It wasn't aggressively bad like Ninjas vs Pirates Dodgeball next to it but it had the misfortune of being very average in an overcrowded genre filled with phenomenal titles releasing around the same time. Reviewers were particularly savage, and some of that hate had to be ill will built up from Turning Point.

Voth

It's a very average game with a limited number of enemy types. It's got a few cool setups, but nothing ever manages to come together. There are much better games out there to play.

This is your first post on this forum. Really?

Edit: D'oh! Awful totp.

There's really not much wrong with it

That sounds like box quote material right there.

I agree, looks ok. I'd rent/borrow it but probably wouldn't buy it.

I'm sorry, but this is the single most fake post I have ever seen. I hope to god the poster was trying to be sarcastic or something but since he's only made one post ever I think it's pretty clear what's going on here.

(Note: he's also ruined the word 'mofo' for me. Forever.)

I played this at PAX and it is terrible. Here is my writeup on it:

Here is a list with problems that have populated first person shooters for a long time:
Invisible Walls
Unskipable cut scenes
Bad cut scenes
Disparity between what happens in cut scenes and what happens in game
Bad voice acting
Invincible enemies that don't even respond to being attacked
Weird animation
Ugly human models
Awful pedestrian intro sections, where you cannot die or interact with anything in any meaningful way
Long load times
Bits where you have to hold a button for 6/7 seconds to turn a dial.


These are all present in Legendary.
Maybe the rest of the game is fantastic, but my time with the first 20 minutes of the game was a waste of my life, and I will never get that time back.
Soundtrack is pretty rocking though.

Yeah they also made a sarcastic thread I guess

Also this person has about 11 posts

I have it in my gamefly queue. It may be worth some time to give it a shot. I liked the idea of the game.

What do you mean by this? As in the Half Life series? Or Halo 2?

That second trailer looks horrible, the animation looks wooden too.

Meh.

I like the concept of creatures of legend romping 'round modern day but nothing here grabs me.

MSXBOX-WORLD was one of the very few review sites that didnt' totally savage the game review wise. We felt that the game got a pretty bad rap, in part because it released in the middle of what had to be one of the best season of triple A releases in recent memory.

While I've never played the game myself, the guy we had review the game said it's basically an old school FPS shooter akin to the old Quake series. This is not to say that we thought the game was ace, it certainly had it's problems. It wasn't however the 2/10, 3/10 title many reviewers made it out to be.

We scored the game based on what it was ... an average shooter that would very likely appeal to folks that enjoy an FPS that goes back to the basics.

*shrug*

I won't miss any sleep over not picking the title up, but I do think it deserved a little better than the massacure it got critically.

I don't really remember Halo 2, but in the Half life games, they generally are used to teach you the rules of the universe, give you background story, and most importantly - Atmosphere.

In Legendary, it felt like was trying to make you scared of all these monsters that could kill you, but actually nothing could hurt you. Like, I ran into a big griffin thing, and it attacked me, but because it was the start of the game, it didn't hurt. Killed the atmosphere.
