Autumn games, hits and surprises

Posted by  Crospyder / 10 Aug : 21:25
Every hardcore gamer in the world knows about great summer pause that game developers took, to spend all that millions they earned on some super luxury yacht, cruising from New york to Italy, Croatia, India, or Australia. But did they earned that money on fair way, or they earned it because of super marketing approach.

Old ET players remember days when mr. Carmack announced Enemy territory: Quake Wars. First we were looking in that name like a miracle and thinking "holly shit 2nd edition of Enemy territory", and Quake players were looking at it like "Holly shit new Quake arena or tournament or whatever".

They managed to drag attention on one game from 2 totaly different types of players, and probably, half of each group bought it and own it. ( I did tho).

We were even involved in closed beta testing of ET:QW and that was prommising, saying that there is a great possibility that PhReaKz will start playing that game for sure. Minor problems were noticed,  So we were counting on that, all that problems will be fixed in full version.

True tho, gameplay had nothing to do with ET, neither with Quake, but more with Battlefield2. So actually they attracted 3 different types of players on same game by using marketing tricks and rest was luck.

So, what we learned from last summer pause, and closed and open beta testings?

  DO NOT BUY BEFORE YOU TRY; no matter what they said about it. I bought ET: Quake Wars, and that game is now collecting dust on my shelves. But for example, i received Call of Duty 4, like a gift from one of mine good cyber friend ( also known as a Waz, or PharmacyPhReak - thnx Waz ), never played that game before, and i was even thinking that game is too powerfull for my weak PC, but actually, it works perfectly, even tho it has much better graphics than ETQW and gameplay is not compareable.
