There are so many great games out there,some reasonably new like UT2003 and some old like half life and me personally think they deserve more than a game to come out which includes most of the things that made the original great and saying things like "never seen before features" which is just a lie.

Take for example Max Payne, this won some awards for originality for the 'bullet time' feature that was as far as I know never put into a game before but now dead to rights is out and has also got 'bullet time' and the kind of same story line to max payne.
I know dead to rights will never win any awards because the game is rubbish.

If games are going to include features out of another game then why lie about it and say things like "never seen before features" and instead say for example
"includes the Max payne bullet time",
this may even boost sales as poeple might think "oh,i remember max payne, that bullet time was great"

also have any of you seen the upcoming game Breed which promises halo type action?
looks good

breed WOULD sell better if they mentioned halo. But the trouble is the people who made halo would probly want some of the money their product is generating for breed.

Hopefully the Matrix game will be a decent game it uses the bullet time feature and is looking to be a great game, I just hope it is.

Is Half life 2 in development?
