The Saboteur?

[TheRedMax]

I guess I'm a sucker for anything with MP40s and Tommy Guns. I can't get enough nazis!

It looks interesting and fun.Hope that it turns out well.

I haven't decided whether or not to go for this one yet. Okay, you play a guy who can scale buildings without climbing equipment as he systematically liberates a city from the bad guys piece by piece, gradually bringing the beleaguered metropolis back to life and causing passersby on the street to sing your praises wherever you go--so it's Infamous, but with Nazis. And while I did like Infamous, I've also already played the daylights out of it...

It is like Infamous yes, but with fun gameplay. Infamous was played like shit.

Hey. We will have none of that. inFAMOUS played rather well in my opinion.

I think it's going to be awesome.

I'm thinking - "Assassin's Creed with rocket launchers".

Rocket launchers are endless fun.

WWII? Man this game is totally going to suck!

Your humour...it fails.

...Irish protaganist...

What? I thought he was a French race car driver.

Anyone else thinks it looks rather good, or read anything that may add to its pro's or con's?

Pros: Visual style, addictive gameplay often found in Pandemic games, a not-often-used-setting for a sandbox game, Assassin's Creed style "Faffing about" only with guns.

Cons: Samey or GoW-esque gunplay, WWII story (Nazis = bad, you killz them).

The gunplay is more Battlefront esque. You can fire normally and zoom in over the shoulder for headshots.

So why is an Irish guy in Paris? I'm confused on that part.

No idea, maybe a famous Saboteur the French hired or something?

Maybe France is so pathetic that they have to outsource their freedom fighters.

Didn't Pandemic close down? Will this game be coming out?

Their parent company (Can't remember the name for the life of me) is going to "Continue to make games in the Pandemic spirit." Which includes The Sabetour, and possibly SW:B III. I just hope they don't screw it up.

I've been interested in this game ever since I heard about it in Game Informer years ago. I lost track of it, only to hear about it a few months ago. Hell yeah I'm interested!

WWII? Man this game is totally going to suck!

Saboteur strikes me as a WW2 game like Indiana Jones is a WW2 movie, the only real WW2 element being that Nazi's are the bad guys.

Didn't Pandemic just shutdown?

Didn't Pandemic just shutdown?

Didnt someone just post the exact same thing?

I'm sorry. I have better things to do than read every post made on every thread I respond to. Sue me.

Why post in a thread if your not going to read the thread? When there isnt that many posts in the first place.

I thought that the idea was to respond the original post. I guess that's just me though.

Also, did you really HAVE to start this? I mean...Jesus, something was said twice the world is coming to an end.

 

[A Weary Exile]

or maybe its because you touch yourself at night!

NO! I mostly do that during the day!

 

[lostclause]

I've been excited since I saw it at E3. I'm actually probably going to get it when it comes out.

Uhh... I don't think so... where did you hear that from?

Ah, thanks. I hope they make Battlefront 3, although the number of rumours circulating about that makes it confusing about whether of not it's anywhere near release.

"In November 2009, the owner of Pandemic Studios, Electronic Arts, cut a total of 1500 jobs which affected various studios. Rumors have said that Pandemic Studios will be closed as part of the cost cutting measures by Electronic Arts and that some of their current projects such as The Saboteur will be passed on to Electronic Arts Los Angeles.

On November 17, 2009, EA officially confirmed Pandemic Studios will be closed, save for a core intellectual property team, laying off 200 employees."

I can't believe I missed that... I hope this is something like Final Fantasy where if it does well the company will come back...
