Turning Point: Fall of Liberty

wishbone · 02-28-2008, 02:28 PM

Is anyone playing this, any impressions or link to a real review out there? It looks like something I'll buy but just wondering if anyone has any experience playing it and if it's any fun.

Thanks in advance.

I played the demo. It seemed kind of weak to me. I thought it was going to be a great game and I think the idea is still very unique. I thought the graphics were fairly subpar and the demo was a bit sluggish. I don't think it will be a hateful game but I'm not sure it'll be a great game.

I thought this might be about Phalid. Damn.

I've been wanting to play it. Don't know if it will be crap, great, or merely solid, but I always enjoy alternate takes on history.

I need to follow up with Codemasters, make sure I requested it.

Unless I see a review or talk to someone who has played it, it looks like this will be a bargain bin buy several months from now. The reports I am seeing seem to say it has weak graphics and the gameplay doesn't really set it apart. Definitely want to the see the "drawing board" equipment being used, just don't think it's worth $30+.

IGN gave it a poor review with a final score of a 5 out of 10.

Sorta looks like Freedom Fighters only in the WW2 era.

anyone seen a review for th is yet?

It's crap, a poorly done port to the PC. A friend got a copy and we messed around with it a little today. The graphics are pretty bad, the max resolution you can set in the game is 1024x768. You can tell it was designed for consoles, you can't use a mouse in any of the menus or anything. When you try and configure the controls you get a picture of a 360 controler to map them to. This game should have had alot more work put into it for the PC version.

a look at some of the gameplay

...Wow.

1024 x 768?

Seriously??

360 controller to map controls to??

ROFL

I actually thought that previews looked pretty good, For fuck's sake though, 1024x768???lol

You get three different res to choose from 640x480, 800x600, and 1024x768. For graphics options you get low, medium and high, People have been bitching about it all over. The offical word from codemaster on their forum is, it uses the dxdiag and reads the supported resolutions of your vid card/monitor. And then allows you to select from those in game.That is a complete load of crap because everyone is stuck with those same three resolutions. This has to be the worst port I have ever seen.

We tried changing the resolution manually in the config file but it did no good. The game reset to 640x480 and still the max we could select was 1024x768.

It literally looks like an orig xbox game. Codemasters has complained about shit all the time about not getting proper demos etc and their games are still ALWAYS shit

The textures are horrible. It needs some aa as well.

I had high hopes for this game

According to a post on the gamespace forums on GameSpot/GameFAQs for Turning Point from a guy who has the game, it's, through and through, a sloppy console point. He says the maximum resolution is 1680x1050, the AI is crap, the graphics look horrible, and the game is poorly optimized.

Wow the game looks bad, I've seen how it looks like on the 360.. looks better than that.. lol

IGN doesn't have a review for the PC version, but it got a 5/10 on Xbox360 . I bet IGN's already fiished the PC review, they're just scouring a thesarus for the many different ways to say "suck" and "crap" before they publish it.

I'd be so embarrassed to release a crappy game to the markets and have websites and magazines like IGN tear it apart.

That's sad. Such an interesting and epic concept spoiled by a major dose of suck. Maybe another day.

rofl, wow... Who's starting the most disappointing game of 2008 thread? Bet this will make the list
