Spec Ops: The Line

simboes · 10th May 2011, 1:57 PM

This is a game set in the future in Dubai after all the oil has run out. Really cool concept. Think it could be promising if it's done well!

Quote:

An American flag hangs tattered and torn in the sand dunes of Dubai. The city is now a shadow of its former self, beaten into the ground by relentless sandstorms. A booming voice asks, "Do you still intend to rescue me captain, now that you have seen what I have done?" As the sun rises in the sky, the voice calmly declares, "You must think I'm a monster, that I've gone insane. Come find us captain; we're waiting." This is the auspicious opening to Spec Ops: The Line, and it sets a dark tone for the game. "We intend to make The Line the most provocative shooter you've ever played," proclaimed lead designer Cory Davis on our recent visit to developer Yager's studios in Berlin. Can Spec Ops deliver on such a bold statement? Our first look suggests that Yager is well on its way to creating something just a bit different.

What do you reckon? Another Homefront? lol. Def looks liek a console shooter for sure!

Quote:

Spec Ops: The Line is a third-person shooter that tells the story of Captain Walker, the leader of an elite military outfit known as Delta Force. Walker is sent to the heart of the once-wealthy Dubai, which has been ravaged by vicious sandstorms, leaving the city in ruins. Your mission is to rescue the well-respected Army Colonel John Konrad, whose squad is declared MIA after staying in Dubai to aid civilians that could not escape the sandstorms. The twist to the tale comes from Konrad himself, who is a take on Colonel Kurtz from the film Apocalypse Now. Far from needing to be rescued, Walker discovers Konrad has gone insane from his time in the ruined city, which he now declares his home.

Coming to PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.

That doesn't look to bad from the video. Seems like a mix of story line from different games. If it has good game play mechanics, Ill definitely think about buying it.

EDIT: Coming to PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.

Sure nothing original, but at least a twist from the common FPS game.

I remember playing Spec Ops: Rangers Lead the Way. That was pretty fun. Although the sequel Green Berets one was literally an unplayable mess.
