I'm one of those people that isn't pleased with the new take on X-COM ( I guess it's XCOM now?), but the comments here are making me feel silly. Get the fuck over it.

I like the new look!

@YukoAsho: You are right in that Gearbox owns the IP but I would wager Ubisoft still owns the publishing rights up to a certain number of titles. They may not have as much control over Gearbox as they would if they owned BiA outright but they probably still have some sway. Given that Hell's Highway was a commercial flop, Gearbox also probably wants to try something different though.

sad panda. I definitely agree this shouldn't have the BiA name

No, it shouldn't because that would be fucking awful
Awesome first post. Care to notice the sarcasm? It was just a reference to Inglourious Basterds (because of the obvious similarities) and how the Basterds always scalped the Nazis they killed.
He was probably just calling you on your bad joke. No big deal.
Awesome first alt.

Awesome shitty joke.

Apologies for being a dick, I can't help myself sometimes =)

Lord have mercy, BIA, REALLY?!?! Shameless move to trick some of the BIA fans into buying a game that is nothing like the franchise.

Posted by ChillyUK7 - June 09, 2011 at 8:34 AM

MW3 looks the same as MW2, I Hate this game!

BIA Furious 4 looks too different from older BIA, I hate this game!

BIA Furious 4 shouldn't bear the BIA name because it isn't BIA and I know the franchise better than the people who make it. Even for the sake of argument you could say that BIA Furious 4 is set in WW2 like BIA, has what looks like a squad/has squad mechanics and is probably a 1st/3rd person shooter just like BIA, that doesn't matter because my knee jerk reaction has drowned out all sense of logic.

Ow and btw we haven't seen a single second of gameplay...

I don't think I wanna play another serious WW2 game.

Awesome that you think so!

Biggest lolwut of the show so far. This seems like a huge left turn from the traditional WWII series. Though the title isn't everything to a game, i'm interested to see in future interviews, perhaps, why they kept the BIA name attached to this

Posted by Patman99 - June 09, 2011 at 1:40 PM

Although, I disagree with using the Brothers in Arms name on this, I have faith that Gearbox will do a good job with it!

Posted by Merx - June 11, 2011 at 8:27 AM

What a shame.

Guys, no one has a problem with a new take on WW2 games (although thats got to be one of the most lifeless trailers Ive ever seen), its just Brothers In Arms has ALWAYS been a serious tactical based series, that did what it did very well.

This is literally nothing like the entire previous entries in the series. I cant understand why they would do that. It does nothing but create brand confusion and hurts the name going forwards.

What a horrible subtitle.

God I'm so sick of the term IP. Can we stop using that? We the ones playing the games, not selling them.

I agree. I don't know what other term we could use, but "IP" is business jargon.

Posted by Agent47 - June 19, 2011 at 5:44 PM

@Merx: Yeah it's cool to see them try new things but putting Brothers In Arms in the title is just a slap the franchise.They are two different to be using the same franchise name.This is my same problem with Infinite being titled Bio.But this is worse cause it's just so disrespectful for what the series has been about and built up to.

Posted by Death_Unicorn - July 29, 2011 at 12:30 PM

They should have just created a new franchise.

Posted by funk_oddysey - August 04, 2011 at 6:54 PM

The game seems like its alot of over-the-top co-op shooter craziness which is good, but I still have to agree that the Brothers In Arms title should not be used here, its in name only & they should realise that if its not related to Bakers story in any shape or form that using the name is only for the sales side of matters and even then hell's highway didn't sell that well despite being a great shooter. So overall its just there to make BIA's fans pissed off, ah well, if its a good game I'll stop whining.
