Crash Commando on E3

[Furai]

Have you seen it? It's big plagiarism for me. They added 3D scenery. Rest is just like our old Soldat.

[Mr Killer]

Definetely, it's just Soldat+3D. Plagiarism, I wonder if they asked MM for copying his idea.

Em it's like saying that all FPS games are a rip off from Maze War or Wolfenstein 3D.
It looks cool, too bad it's only for the PS3.

[Mr Killer]

no, FPS games are FPS games, all are different. Soldat has it's own unique formula which this game just seem to copy

[DragonSlayer]

How can you say it's plagiarism when it's SIDEVIEW AND SHOOTER? Jesus christ.

I think this looks cool but I'd prefer something like this on PC so I could play with mouse and keyboard. But in any case, I'm going to keep myself updated with this game.

IT HAS VEHICULZ ITS SO MUCH BETTER THAN SOLDATS! NOM NOM NOM!

no but seriously, i couldnt see how this reallly related to soldat, other than sideview its sideview. Who cares if they added 3d scenery nothing compares to soldats simplicity.

Michal is actually very open about seeing competition to Soldat. He was actually dismayed that there weren't more side-view wasd+mouse shooters.

This game is not a copy but is in the same category that Soldat fits into. FPS is a category. ID didn't sue a bunch of companies when others decided to make FPS's that used wasd+mouse. In the case of side view, Soldat wasn't the pioneer of side-view shooters. It WAS however the pioneer in using FPS controls. Soldat wasn't copied either, but was inspired by games like Liero, Worms, Molez and also fast paced shooters like Quake. Soldat is the very first of it's specific category which is side-view, flying players using wasd+mouse controls.

Clearly the company that made Crash Commando took inspiration from Soldat as well as many other games most likely. For those of you that wanted a Soldat like game with vehicles or that wanted to play a side view shooter with cursor aiming with controller - here is your chance. You get nice heavily distracting 3d graphics and lighting as well. Have fun, but don't say I didn't warn you. At least now when narbs ask or suggest vehicles or controller functionality or want to play Soldat on a console, we have a game to point them toward and to shut them up with. Thanks Crash Commando team. Your helping us quell that little annoyance.

And Kagesha, plz don't use lolcat speak or whatever here. My gf loves lolcats and icanhascheezburger.com but the people on that site and especially those that comment every single pic and try to "out-cute" and out-do eachothers lolcat speak ability makes ya want to vomit your intestines. Those people are psycho beyond psycho. *shudder* *cringe*

You've got to be kidding me, right? That game is the UGLIEST thing ever. I can barely even see the players in those screenshots. All I can see is the ridiculous amount of eye candy, which totally kills the point of the game. You'd spend more time looking at the high tech graphics around you then the other players. The slaggots who created this game have no taste at all. They just saw Soldat somewhere, thought about how great it is, and thought to themselves, "Wouldn't this be even better as a console game which uses a real controller and has all the modern graphics everyone wants???" Morons. Most modern "game designers" have yet to realize that gameplay should be more important than graphics which not everyone is lusting after.

Before Soldat I used to spend HOURS playing Wolfenstein 3D when I had full access to Halo.

I wouldn't say this is quite the ugliest thing I've seen. I've seen much worse, but other than that, I agree entirely. There is WAY too much emphasis on graphics and sound quality. these days. Most games today are the same old shinyfoo with pretty new pictures slapped over a tired, old, concept. Very rarely do we see any real new concepts or gameplay that doesn't suck and/or isn't repetetive as hell.

I'd like to see how this one turns out... too bad it's only on PS3. As much as I loved Sony's PSX and PS2, I'm not spending 500 dollars on ANY game console. to hell with that. I might buy a PC for that much, but never a game console.
