While I'm just as disappointed as everyone else, I think that once it gets released (at least for us Steam buyers) and patched, it will be a good game.

You guys are just....wow...you havent' even played it yet and you are already condemning it.

 

1. It's a first release

2. You haven't even physically played it for yourselves yet

3. It's a first release

4. This is why you don't hype things you know little about (leaving a lot of room for disappointment)

5. It's a first release

 

'Gents. It's a game. What you get now is not set in stone. May I remind you that EM4 had SEVERAL patches after launch. It's actually rare for a game to be 100% at launch.

 

Lastly, I don't know what you all expected, but after reading all the "desires" and "expectations" in the "What would you like to see" thread I can see why some of you are disappointed. Remember, this is a game, not a simulator. This community as a whole expects Emergency to be a realistic simulator, but in fact that's not what it's meant to be. Little do you realize it was the mods that made EM4 awesome. I really haven't seen anyone rave about the base game before. Once there are some mods out there, I bet opinions will change. What does a perfect game leave for modding? Nothing. If there is a lot left to be desired, then that give something for the modding community to work with. If the game was perfect I can tell you right now I wouldn't waste my time making mods for it.

 

*end rant*

 

Lets play the game for a couple days, at least a couple hours, before we pass formal judgement. Watching a car drive around the track is a far different experience than actually taking it out for a test drive yourself.

 

Just my $0.02

^ thank you.

All right guys. Calm down. Everything's going to be ok.

The gameplay at this point may be a little disappointing. That's ok. ALL new games are poor when they first come out, but they get patched and improved and eventually are excellent, absolutely wonderful games.

I've seen this happen many, many times. It may be days, or it may be weeks. It may be months even, but I doubt it. But however long it is, Sixteen Tons has put way to much work into it to let it slide. This is a financial investment for them, a big one, and I'm sure they're taking it seriously. Game development is a lot harder than you think.

Rest assured, you will definitely get value for your money in the near future.

Nice perspective. Worth more than $0.02 (at least that's my $0.02 lol).

Game is pretty good

1st of all nice rant lol. 2nd of all, I'm not getting it because it won't run on my system so I didn't expect much from it anyways and lastly. I'm not saying EM4 was perfect, hell it has its bugs and what not even now, but at gamescom they told everyone that the gameplay footage was still in Alpha phase or "testing"... Yet from the gameplay video it looks exactly the same from gamescom, they said that the vehicle collisions/pathfinding was because it was in that phase. What have they been doing in the last few months since then? In my opinion not alot. If its not 100% why release it? It seems alot of game developers do this now days. They have also made the game highly unoptimized (like GTA 4 when that was first released) so alot of people who have problems with out powerful systems won't be able to run it. Yes I know its 2014, but not everyone has a gaming computer or can go out and buy one.

Anyway... Enough of my ramblings.

I've seen people mention a day 1 patch that's supposed to fix a lot of that. Can't confirm it though.

Oh really? Well if it does fix that and the other problems then fair enough, but they have had plenty of time to fix it before releasing the game.

[BeastyBill88]

After watching this gameplay footage, it looks better it doesn't seem as buggy so maybe the patch which they were talking about fixed things.

That's actually my video, heh. You can see some path finding issues in it, but nothing too major. My biggest concern was the horrible FPS.

Oh was it? Lol nice video by the way yeah there was a few but not as bad as the video on the 1st page and the FPS will hopefully be patched, like they eventually did for GTA IV.

range rover evoque for rescue dog is good model, but where is fire engine with hoses ? I did not wait 7 years to go back the time of Emergency 3. Newest emergency game and hoses can attach only to hydrant, It is perhaps a bad joke?

[BeastyBill88]

I saw that, looks like they are using vehicles based on their real life counterparts

[martijntjuh]

for pathfinding/collision look at Rescue 2013, at least with EM5 the vehicles dont just drive trough each other / park inside object/buildings

I have and that was bad! They do drive through eachother, this was meant to have been fixed before being released though, so it will probably/ or is in the patch that came out today.
