Sega Nerds

If the final game is anything like that - I will definitely not be getting it.

It looked like a Dreamcast game to me in areas.
I was expecting something more from Bizarre and Sega, the game looks way too shallow.
In fact it reminds me of the 1st game in the Die Hard Trilogy ’set’ - but with better graphics.

Not impressed.

Well i think the clarity of the screen is down to the video more than the actual look of the game and judging from the photo stills its definatly better looking than what the vid presents. Looks good as a game though.

“was hoping for slightly more ’serious’ combat - where you’d have to take some cover from fire - and when you got hit you ‘felt’ it- seeing the player flinch or something”

G, a interview a while ago said that their trying to make a game that goes against the direction of Gears of War were its shoot cover shoot, they want to make it where you can go all gung-ho and still manage to survivor, without looking for much cover.

To me though, it looks less exciting then I thought it would be, but hopefully they can work up the game a bit.

According to Bizarre is was going to be a game with shorter level than usual where you aimed to the highscore. Like putting PGR philosophy in a fps with kudos and so; like one of those very clever little arcade games but with big graphics, when you actually repeat the levels to memorize, be more fast, make combos and so. Dunno it they called “racing-fps” or something like that.

Still, the one playing donest really get it or the game is still not that intense. I think one should play the game to really realize.

Aki-At and Chris. - Well I did read about the game, I know the game isn’t meant to be like Gears of War (using cover all the time) but, I expected to have some sort of cover- even just stepping behind a pillar for a couple of seconds to avoid getting peppered with bullets.. maybe I was just expecting something alot more overall.

It still stands though - the game, right now, doesn’t look like very much fun. Not if you can just run around shooting - without the worry for getting hit. It looks like you need no skill at all to play. Which is unlike the philosophy of Metropolis Street Racer and Project Gotham.
As Soreda mentioned, The Club is supposed to using ideas and the basis of Bizzare’s racing games. The racing games, require you to have a lot of skill to do well and build up points. The video here shows that you need little to no skill - except to be able to hold down fire and run at the same time.

And I know we shoulsn’t judge a game until it is totally finished. But what the hell has everyone been doing with Nights?
Sega put up a few CG images and everyones gone crazy about how they are going to put in a long crap story and ruin the game - we haven’t even seen how the CG is being implemented yet and everyone is going nuts. Yet here we have actual in-game footage of The Club - and I’m getting flak for saying that the gameplay looks rubbish.
-I’m still going to hope for the best and that the game will start to shape up. But from what I have seen here I am definitely not impressed.

And sorry ROJN but I’d say you have that the wrong way round.
Images in magazines and on sites can be very misleading. They can give a general idea of what a game looks like, but we actually have a video here of what the game will play like - granted its still under development, and as I/we have all said, it still has time to shape up.
But you can’t say that a video - which shows segments of uninterrupted gameplay- isn’t doing a game justice. That video is showing the game as it is! If it was a trailer - with cut-up clips, of fancy angles stuck together, with a loud backing track, then maybe you could have a point.

G, I’m not giving you flak, I’m just saying…the developers themselves said that they don’t want a game were you focus less on hiding but more on shooting things

It’s my type of shooter really, I loved GunGrave on the PS2, granted I jump from left to right to avoid bullets, but I didn’t have to check for cover, that’s something I hate doing with many a shooter games nowadays, perhaps its me, but I’d like to be a tough as nails guy taken bullets by the dozens and if they add more action (cause right now, it really doesn’t seem to be filled with much action, I want explosions, dozens of baddies, the whole shabang!) I’ll be getting this game for sure.

I think Im getting it. I mean it is like an light gun game but with freeroaming in with you have an scenario, people attacking you in triggered ways and you have to actually get a highscore mading up ways of killing all of them with precision (headshots and so), combos (you have time between one kill and another), style (you can make a combo without recharging) and that kind of kudos thingies we are seeing in the video. So you actually have to think fast, and think if you make a barrel to explode for it to make a chain explosion and allow you to waste bullets in other people, or made up any other clever situation in a fast way. If there a different weapons, then you could chose the correct weapon for the rigth situation and every character could have its own pros and cons. It is like a highscore arcade game in that way. Take the online modes with rankings, achievements and so and you have a really different fps.

If you go to the official page and you see the game modes you also see some king of free mode in which you can even create your own “rules” for the clean of a escenario, and I believe I have read something too about hostages or so.

I would be very good to play that game to really see that king of playability.

There is a lot of info at:

http://www.bizarrecreations.com/games/the_club/whatis.php

You can see how different character have diferent profiles for playing. What are the diffrent types of enemies and how is better or not to attack them to kill them fast (there is even a “bonus Guy”!).
The weapons you could use (even Rocket Launchers).
The different solo and multiplayer modes and so.

It is all about going fast try to cleaning the level and in the best kudos way posible. Given the combo could break if you waste time between kills you must think and going fast. And then how you kill them, with that precision, in group and some more kudos thingies.

And there are still play modes hidden.
