New Die Hard Screens!!

[D-realJos]

Die Hard is gradually taking shape. I believe this will be the first FPS I'll buy for GC. If the gameplay is all Bits Studio say it will be, then this game will rock. Bits GameBoy Color realtime strategy game was a hit, and has been reviewed as the best game of that genre on the system. Their N64 project, RiQa(sp?) never saw day light, but they were supposedly working pretty close to Nintendo at the time. I think Die Hard got tons of potential, and I have very high hopes for it.

Just take a look at the screens below(click to enlarge), and follow the link at the bottom to view the rest.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing? :unsure:

I never played past Die Hard games, and don't know who made them either. Still, I'm pretty sure is wasn't Bits Studios.

Bits is a very talented company though. Based on what I read about Die Hard so far, it's clear that they(as well as their publisher, Fox Interactive) have high hopes for it as well, and they're not aiming for a mere average FPS. It's also reassuring since it's GC exclusive(at least, for now). Focusing on one console show that they want to fully concentrate all their efforts on the content going into that console, and not have to worry about any other for now.

Bits Studio seem to be very much in love with GameCube's hardware, they aren't bitching about RAM like most developers who barely spent time with the console. In fact, as good as the game is looking now, they still believe they are only scratching the surface of it's potential, specifically, it's rendering abilities. That says a lot about how deep into the hardware they've ventured, as you'd have to be pretty knowledgeable(of the hardware) to make such statements about it's untapped potential.

They are aiming for a really ambitious gameplay design, so I really hope they pull it off. The team is also working very hard on the multi player side as well. They haven't mentioned it in a long time, so I hope they didn't scrap it. [edit: It's been comfirmed recently to still carey MP... great]

It'd be a bad thing... Die Hard Trilogy 1 sucked... I never played 2, but I heard it was bad as well... *checks to see who made those*...

umm... nevermind...

videogames.com gave it a 9.4... maybe it's just the PS version.. I thought the PC game sucked :p

But I was right about die hard trilogy 2 getting bad reviews... well, average... a 6.3.. but it was made by a different developer than DHT1... and neither was Bits or whatever...

So OK good I guess :D
