| Final Combat - Looking suspiciously familiar... Posted: 15 Jun 2011 11:47 PM PDT  Final Combat is a new online shooter developed by China company. Xunlei (well known for its download manager software). Revealed under Xunlei Games, the game is apparently led by Troy Horton who was involved in developing Tomb Raider III back in the days. As the website boasts, there are development staff who worked in EA, Ubisoft and even Blizzard before. The only class revealed so far is The Rocket. But why does it look so familiar given the amount of said talent working on this game... Hmn... Xunlei Games posted that Final Combat will be bringing "new" elements of play into the online shooter genre, with each class clearly specified and restricted to certain weapons and with specific roles to fulfill. This will be different from all online shooters which lets players have a free reign of weapon choices. For example, different classes will be able to hold different weapons, will have different amount of health points, some will move faster and so on. A thing to note, "that game" which you are thinking about is not exactly a full fledged online shooter, so there might be some truths in the above statements...     |
