It’s reminiscent of the movie “Island” where there’s this almost sterile environment post nuclear explosion thing, where everything is “ordered” and nothing out of place or step, until YOU arrive of course.

You’re the thing that bucks the system, the one “they” want to catch, that’s crims and the law, who basically both want you for one reason or another.

It’s great to see DICE doing it, as they also did Black and many other great games, or had a role in them (they had a role in Black, but Criterion was the main developer) It also shows that everyones fears about EA butchering developers games is perhaps unfounded, as it’s in their (EA’s) best interest to foster new IP’s and franchises, rather than snuff them out.

I think people will see the other side of EA from now on, mind you,they are still a cowardly lot, but at least they have changed the way they are dealing with developers and especially those they “acquire”.

Thanks for the compliments mate, I haven’t written for awhile, and was worried I was getting a little to rusty . . .

What i like most about is everything in FPS. Just like Breakdown.

Even though that was not a well received game i actually really enjoyed it a lot.

This along with many others are on my to get list of games.

I do hope that there are multiple paths to take in your running/jumping/splatting though and it doesn’t just become a ‘time button press exactly right’ type of game.

Excellent article Oz.
