TM2 @ E3

[eyebo]

Okay...but why would they be previewing a F2P game at E3? Isn't GRO gonna be F2P? That's what I thought--I even signed up for the beta...

That discussion belongs here:

But I believe what they said during the press conference is that GRO was just like a free addon thing to GR Future Soldier. It's like getting the multiplayer part free, but you'd need GR Future Soldier first. That's what it sounded like to me anyway. So it's not really F2P. Or I could be completely wrong about it.

Nice article by GF (previously FF ). I'm liking the positive press--and if enough of it gets out--TM2 should be a pretty big bash in the US--but they've got to do ads in mags and TV, too...

I fully agree. I'm really excited at how positive the press is responding. And I hope the magazines will take the excitement and feel the urge to publish articles about it... Hopefully it's not a "Wine-and-dine" sitch where Ubi will have to woo them in with $$.

Having the magazines cover it some will certainly help us build the hype too.

Yeah, but you know, euro is more worth than dollars, so maybe that's why they don't actually care about USA - no better benefits. I'm just saying.

The mapping area looks a bit small maybe, but otherwise it looks promising!

The video has also been mentioned in another thread here. Truly incredible footage.

The Doctor mentions when being interviewed in that video that he thinks they've added Tesselation.....

So this is what makes everything look a lot smoother even though everything is made of individual blocks? Or is he referring to something else entirely?

PCGamer calls TM2 Canyon one of the six games dominating E3.
