Soldier of Fortune: Pay Back - A Budget Title?!
Much to our disappointment, it seems that the newly-surfaced Soldier of Fortune: Pay Back won't be created by Raven Software after all.

What's even worse, is that now they're saying it will be a value-price project: "Raven isn't developing this game. And it's Activision Value that's publishing it," confirms former member of Raven, Kenn Hoekstra. (Thanks, Bluesnews.)

Sadly, this corroborates my fears that, in light of the recent controversy surrounding violent games, Activision would simply back off from ever attempting to recreate the original concept of the Soldier of Fortune games.

Instead, they've simply opted to milk whatever they can out of the license by using the brand to sell a generic, watered-down, value FPS.

They better not "budget" out my chance to ritualistically dismember my enemies after Or during the act of savagely killing them... I'll have to look towards reality to vent my violent tendencies

Fucking lame.

@ The Gore Deprived: Why the fuck don't you guys hit a zoo shop, buy a bunny rabbit and have some fun with the critter at home? Or if it really *has* to be humans, well, why not walk straight into the Bronx or South Central, L.A. with a pumpgun? Lotsa fun to be had there. Don't be so fucking lazy. Get off your fucking lazy asses and get out there for some yummy brains spraying action!

Well if its any consolation to any of you guys its the same devs that made the budget shooter Chaser. I thought Chaser was pretty good.

Violence is games is so damn over rated. I mean if someone is bent on hurting someone he need to look towards video games for inspiration. He could just watch movies instead.

So why so much fuss about games eh? There are plenty of normal people who enjoy this. Well...not exactly normal, but at least they don't go kiling people like that Korean bastard.

Noooo!!!!

Violence in video games over rated? Its not the sheer act that gives us pleasure or the color red all over our screen. If we wanted to see violence we would just go watch the news. I'm talking about choice! I want to CHOOSE when an arm is blown off of a body (or if its just the leg...below the knee) I want a head to explode just like the old days in Vietnam when my Ma-Deuce was popping heads like watermelons dropped off a building. I want exit wounds! REal VISCERAL carnage! None of this pussy invincible ragdoll shit that seems to permeate every multiplayer game on the market today. Give me evisceration or give me back my baby and put me back out behind enemy lines.
If you argue anything to the contrary you don't understand what the first two Soldier of Fortune titles were about, which means your probably a snot nosed little twit.

VERY LAME
ukjadoon [mail] Jun 28 2007, 08:27 am EDT
Whats next? A Doom budget title...or maybe a WoW budget lol!
greenberet [mail] Jun 28 2007, 11:11 am EDT
GTA budget title sounds about right.
Amok [mail] Jun 29 2007, 05:48 am EDT
