Medal Of Honor Isn't Just A Clone Of Bad Company 2
Medal of HonorGranted, there are a lot of similarities between first-person shooters. But despite comparisons between games like Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and the upcoming Medal of Honor, you shouldn't be thinking about the word "clone."
See, DICE developed Bad Company 2 and they're also working on the multiplayer component of Medal of Honor - part of EA's approach to dedicate one entire team to the single-player and multiplayer respectively - so some think it'll play just like BC2 online. But according to what Medal of Honor producer Gordon Van Dyke told That VideoGame Blog, this really won't be the case.
"No. Absolutely not...people shouldn’t expect a clone of Bad Company 2 for Medal of Honor’s multiplayer."
Technically developed by EALA, DICE has a major part in creating the game so some FPS fans are a little leery about picking up two DICE FPSs within a 6-month span. But Van Dyke says this doesn't make any sense.
"It’s just like if you went and saw one action movie and then another one came out that year, you’re not gonna say, ‘Oh, I’m not going to go see that one.’ If it was the same director, maybe you’d want to go see that other one even more."
To emphasize this point, EALA boss Sean Decker has already said there's "enough separation" between the single-player campaigns in MoH and BC2; "both in time and in tone," so when MoH arrives, you shouldn't be saying to yourself, "eh, I already played Bad Company 2." Really, you'd likely be missing out...

Now what I did see today, were some red dead redemption clips(featurettes) which were amazing, it's like, such a huge world and it looks really good, even though the clips were taken from the xbox game, so I hope the PS3 counterpart will look at least as good, hopefully better, but we know how it works with multiplats (even though developers are slowly changing).

Not really feeling BFBC2, and I am nearly done with MAG.
I also hope I am treated with a singleplayer campaign that blows my mind too!

However his reasoning is skewed. Paying to go see a movie is a lot different than paying for a $60 game. If the game is a clone, you paid $120 to pay the same game twice.
Like I said though, makes no difference to me.

I am a firm believer in the principle that every person has a right to give their own opinion, but I get annoyed that some of you on PSXEXTREME dis on FPS games. Even if an FPS title has yet to be released, you still cast down your brow without caring what you might be missing. Do you carry on like this simply because you consider yourselves RPG, or REAL gamers? If so, then that's a pretty prestigious title you self-employ.
I enjoy RPGs just as much, if not more than, FPS games. So don't insult me with the cockamamie "FPS fanboy" label that you give those who play games like Battlefield and Call of Duty.
This is not meant to be insulting. I wrote this just to inform those of you who dis on FPS games, and those who enjoy them, of how biased and fanboyish you sound. Please don't make the mature PSXEXTREME community look like a bunch of one-sided, bullheaded gamers.

"clap, Clap, Clap, Clap! I applaud you!!!
It's getting f*cking tiresome to keep reading how some so-called gamers(and I'm using that word loosely now) here are constantly ragging on FPS, or(insert your own game genre hate here).
And you know what???
(FYI, I'm only using this sentence below only as an example, & not trying to single RPG's out)....
I DON'T like RPG's & don't play them, but I still got FF8, FF Tactics, FF10, FF10-2, FF11, & FF12 just to sample every single one of them in the hopes to maybe find some small way to enjoy getting into them.
And, even though RPG's just aren't for me, NEVER have I EVER ragged on the RPG genre, and I've NEVER EVER also disrespected the RPG players by doing so.
So why so much hatre towards FPS's, or(insert other genre hate here)???????????
If you don't want to play any more FPS, or(insert genre hate here), then "DUHHH, JUST DON'T BUY, OR PLAY, ANY OF THEM"!!!!
And BTW, you hater's "dare" to call yourself real gamers??????
WELL, GUESS WHAT?...."NOOOO, YOU AREN'T"!!!!
A real gamer knows better than to spend time ragging on a game genre just because the more games of any type available to them, then better overall it also is for the whole gaming nation.
So, stop being so f*cking childish, grow up, get off your rag, & go play that(insert genre you idolize so much here) game, instead of constantly wasting so much of your own precious game time ragging on other gamers, and whatever(insert your usual genre hating here)game you don't like!!!!

I love my FPS games, they can tell just as good and sometimes better story than any rpg when done right and can be a whole lot more immversive, you are the in the characters point of view after all, you are the character.
There is allot of chaff out there but that is the same for most genres, just read the reviews on PSX and avoid the crap. FPS games only form part of my games library as I like most genres of games, allot of people here are missing out on some great games.

LOL, no built up angst here, just speaking my mind as I've always done the last 5 decades.
And I'm not planning to retire my voice or my soapbox in the next 4 to 6 decades either. LMAO

can someone show me the law saying every shooter has to be military based?
come on guys, for christs sake just because MW came out and opened the flood gates does not mean yous have to follow suit.
thats what i hate about this industry there is no originality, everythings follow the sheep!
nintendo released motion controllers, so sony and M$ have to follow suit.
M$ added achievements to their games, so sony had to follow suit.
thats it, its confirmed game developer and publisher are run by sheep!
i always thought it, but you did not have to prove it to me!
