Greetings ArmA community.
First of all thanks for all the people who had downloaded our preview considering Armed Assault.
I noticed it had got lots of criticism and people think it was some what bad. Ok, as a former ofp player I knew what the game was all about and we did had a clue what kind of review we want to do and so on.
We as a GameTV want to make different kind of game reviews/previews. We don´t want to give an false information of the game and we want to show how it really looks when you play it. Also we don´t do these many hours of filming, edit the best looking scenes and make it to look totally different than it actually is kind of reviews.
The ArmA review we made was totally improvised, it was a Live review which is pretty unusual but we don´t want to be like others but to make something different
We wanted to show as much things we could but we do have timelimit of approximatelly 1 hour.
The game we had was a press version and it wasn´t the final version of the game. We didn´t want to show any game bugs because there were lots of those and it´s understandable.
Someone said we were playing it like Quake 2 but honestly, bots didn´t do a thing to get us killed.
For example I was walking around in a enemy base and none of the enemy didn´t do anything.
We talked what we wanted to show people before the Live stream and those were: infantry (basic things) Vehicles (what we could find) Air units (helicopters) and we didn´t want to show any "tactical" fighting because it would be boring to watch.
The game itself is a large scale game. I think you learn something new every day when you play it and that´s what we said. There wasn´t enough time for us to make a review that shows everything what game haves.
We wanted to give some basic information of it and give our honest opinion for customers to buy or not to buy the game.
We and everybody knows it has a lot of potential, some things were good and some weren´t.
However, GameTV recommends the game to everybody in fps scene. It is something different what other games doesn´t have.
Sound world and controls could be better, those were the major minuses we gave to the game.
Hopefully BI does something for those issues.
When the game is released I hope that www.gametv.fi could be part of the ArmA community by bringing intense shoutcasting to Clan wars as we do now in BF2, COD2 and CS.
Happy fraggin´ to everyone!
