New BIA3 Release Date (Fucking Finally)
After leaving the public in the dark since the game’s prior tentative release date last November, Brothers in Arms 3: Hell’s Highway has made a reappearance on the gaming radar via a hands-on preview with 1up this week.
The game is now slated for an August 2008 release, which is still a ways off, but at least reassures us that the game hasn’t gone into DNF (Duke Nukem Forever) status. While the delays have caused me to begin doubting whether or not this game will be free of the type of shortcomings which plagued prior titles in the series, I’d still say it has the best chance so far of becoming the first 360 title I’m actually glad to own, and the second game in my entire 360 collection.
Here’s hoping BIA3 trades the cosmetic realism and tactics of the overhyped Call of Duty 4 for actual realism and tactics, and makes for an FPS experience of true quality.
Fucking finally indeed. I haven´t played any of the other games in the series, but I´m looking forward to this one and really think it has the potential to be a pretty good game.
I’m not hardcore, but I have to admit that Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway look deceptively awesome. I fear you may be right with people’s views and WWII fatigue; but something has to prove that Call of Duty 4 is in no way the epitome of a classic FPS game.
