For a while now I’ve been thinking about the next version of SvM. Currently we know only a few things. We don’t know what’s coming to use their slogan. With that being said, do you think we’ll be ready for it.
My concern is that maybe they listened to us too much. You might think, if that’s even possible. You could look at the PSPs multiplayer and look how it has been dumbed down to a poor shooter game. They apparently listened to those who wanted to fight as Spy vs Spy. That version is ofcourse not what SvM is about. It is also our worst fears.
So, what if something similar was done to SvM. I’m not talking about the things that we already know. For those new to this discussion, 3vs3, vent droids and H2H combat is included. What I’d like to discuss are the changes that we’ve asked and begged for, and whether or not we’d be happy.
The biggest issue of course is MT. Many still complain about it and have their own personal ways insolving it. However, some have come so accustomed to the way it is and dependant on it that any possible changes could create an unbalance. I know that we’d all like to see it limited to a distance, and only in the field of vision, but then it’d kind of defeat the purpose of Motion Tracking. Most of the time, you’ll notice and see a moving spy.
I guess good things can and will come out of our complaining, such as the poor net code, and lag issues that plague the game. I wonder though, if those can be solved.
Obviously we can’t judge the game until its released, or at least some more screens or ANY screens are shown at all. Maybe that’s what’s worrying me the most. The fact that we are three months away from its release, yet not a single frame of the award wining innovative multiplayer mode SvM has been officially shown.
I haven’t really checked but was it shown at all at E3?
Again, it’s all just me worrying but, why haven’t we seen anything. Are we expecting too much of this next installment? I think, we are, but the sad thing is we and the game deserves the best. I was wondering what you, the community, felt was coming and whether or not you are preparing for a let down.
