Who writes this stuff?

"Rage Hard is a first person, multiplayer, tactical shooter. It is designed to be the best multiplayer experience possible. Set in a close future, couple of years from now, it will bring you the round based clashes between police squads, mercenaries, terrorists and different gangs of criminals.

The gameplay of Rage Hard is improved with many additions to the standard tactical shooter experience."

Rage Hard: fps multiplayer tactical game ..sorry no pron
tagline: "The Only Language they are capable to handle is Violence" (good cuz they seem to be capable of commiting violence against the english language)
hype-level: sub-"meh"
chances of success: nil
 
Any pictures? I like to know what I'm pointing and laughing at.

The name of the game sounds like it's target audience is 13-14. I thought companies who's games that couldn't even come up with a decent name died in the 80's. It's always good in my book to be able to spot total garbage just by the name of the game, that saves me the torture of reading any further or even the extreme disappointment of picking up the box and turning it to reveal the most uninteresting graphics.

And how do they just sense a great void in selection of FPS? It's like they were saying, "You know what's really missing in the PC game dept.? Really average military FPS's!"

DNS & Titan Computer? Never heard of them. I usually root for these small companies because their entire existence rides on one game. Usually, knowing that, they come up with something original, but I guess they decided to play it safe and go with what sells - FPS's military style. But it's awfully crowded in this genre so I just don't think we will be hearing from them again after this one.
 
here's their site:

they're german ..you'd think they woulod have researched their target audience before spending $/time on a game that there's already a million iterations of the same tired gameplay only with better eye candy/PR/gameplay

I actually laughed when I saw the home page. There are even typo's on it. What a joke. They keep claiming how the game features improvements over other games, but never say how.

I recommend that they select all the characters, then press the delete key. Then come up with a randomly generated name for the game(couldn't be any worse) and create all new characters dressed up like clowns. That would have more potential in my book.
 
even their characters are generic looking

That game looks like it should've been released 4 years ago.

Yea I was thinking something similar, but I was thinking 10 years. The characters look like they are from the 80's but I know they couldn't do 3D graphics like that in the 80's, so I'll just say 1996 ish.
 
Its probably going to be one of those games that will be released in Germany only and have to buy online. Either that or released on PS2 only, your call.

I actually feel a "You're Winner!" moment coming along.

Simple concepts for a simple game, or just because they have a simple budget.

I'm pretty sure it should be the other way round

Rage Hard --> Hard Rage

And a simple mind.
 
Yeah, but come on, they could have at least found an artist who can draw straight lines. That's hardly budget breaking.
 
Thanks Stern. I thought you meant an Emperor or King or something, but that picture really cleared it up.

As for the game, has anyone watched the videos? They're not really that bad. I mean, it's not great or anything but decent.Mind you, showing off some reflections to heavy rock music is a bit iffy.
 
That must be a joke :| That concept art is just...

Oh and no matter how hard you try you can never create an amazing multiplayer experience because there are ALWAYS people to ruin it.
 
At my last job I got handed the task of checking games like this out all the time (actually many were worse). They're usually horrifically generic PC games made by small upstart dev teams in foreign countries looking to win some subcontract work from larger dev houses by getting their name out there. And no, they don't proof-check any of the text, since that job will probably fall to the marketing firm they contract with to promote the game in the US and Britain. Thankfully most of this stuff doesn't show up in retail shops due to lack of interest.
 
With concept art and graphix like that, how CAN'T they find a publisher? I figured EA would have jumped at that chance.

Being a German game, it won't even have blood.

I thought the funniest part of the concept art was, "Crackhouse Storage Office [click]". LOL Yes. Every office complex should include a Crackhouse Storage Office. That doesn't even make sense.

I feel bad picking on this game! It's like making fun of the retarded kid.

You, sir, suck. :D

j/k

Seriously though, are these guys from a timewarp from 1980? It's like Chris Sawyer. God.
