Quick Look: Blacklight: Tango Down

" Can't believe Jeff didn't notice or mention K4rn4ge was playing during that second game. That's the guy who's always one of the few people on Jeff's friend list with actual high scores for Game Room games, as evidenced by the Game Room Quick Looks. "

Tango means TANGERINE.  GOD, GET IT RIGHT.

Im sort of excited for this. I also sort of like Dr.Pepper

....for the price. 

Looks pretty boring...for the price.

You can't really say "for the price" about anything. A $5 hooker would probably be a pretty bad deal for the price. Because you might get aids.

I have to say that for people that play games for a living you don't play FPS's very well still love you guys tho

The price isn't an excuse for a shitty game. Just sayin'

great first look guys

I played the demo and I dig it, it's basically a stripped down shooter to its core and I'm fine with that.
 
Hopefully the dev adds some cheap or maybe even free DLC to keep this game alive.

" Keychains changing your weapon's stats? Is this Kingdom Hearts: The FPS? That's an odd choice.... "

I  played until my trial time ran out. No regrets but no purchase as well. In the end It was alright.

I thought the T that Tango represents stood for "Target", not "Terrorist"? Cos, like, I've heard it used to refer to enemies who are clearly soldiers and not Terrorists.

" I want a three man job! "

It seems ok...for the price.

Got this confused with Breach.

" Looks like a 15$ UT3 mod...OH. "

No one will be playing this in a month.

I can't believe they played the entire game without using the HRV!  That's kinda one of the defining features that keep it such a fast paced game.  It's the only FPS MP I own now, and I like it as a palate cleanser between Gears and Killing Floor/L4D

Tango = Target

Disappointing Quick Look.  They didn't show a single second of the Black Ops missions.  They only showed TDM when the other game modes are generally better.  There was no actual look at the customization (Jeff complained about the iron sights while he had the holographic unlocked).  It's not anything like MW2 customization either as your custom parts will actually change the look, feel and effectiveness of each weapon. 
 
FIE!

interesting they missed the COOP mode and the single player campaign completely... errr guys its not an online only shooter. 
 
Just thought I'd mention that.

not a fan of the P2P servers in this game

This game stinks.

Jeff got Tangoed...

razer did make a xbox 360 controller a while back, either it came out or its coming out soon, cuz i saw the advertisements on the razer website

So, is the assault rifle the only weapon?

This game looks pretty much underwhelming on every front.. even for the price.
Though I like the fast movement. That's pretty much what hits me every time I fire up Quake Live or UT99, just how slow modern shooters are.

I bought this today, cause I'm a sucker, and its really not that bad "For 15 dollars".

This game looks dumb!
 
...for the price.

I like the game
I'd give it a sold 3.5 stars out of 5.
 
My only problem is on screen hit detection. I never know when Im taking damage or when Im hurting my enemy unless the little sign pops up or I look at my health. Even bloody pixels shooting out of a character would be cool.

Unreal Engine's busted frame rate and shitty texture-loading doesn't go well with the smoothness and precision required by a multiplayer game like this.

Why... why is there blue stuff around the corners of the screen?

Horrible quicklook. Really disappointing. They didn't show any of the stuff that is key to the game. This game is all about class customization and they barely even looked at it. And what multiplayer shooter these days is best shown with Team Deathmatch? Gears? Show some actual game types.  
 
It also has spec-ops style coop in it. The backstory that they claimed is non-existent is right in the menu to read about. 
 
I just hate to see a pretty darn cool game get passed by because they showed some team deathmatch footage from launch day.

Why... why was there a crosshair when you aimed down the sights? Isn't that the whole point of aiming down the sights, so you use the iron sights instead of a crosshair? But they still had the crosshair up there, above the sights. The iron sights did absolutely nothing.

" The price isn't an excuse for a shitty game. Just sayin' "

I think tango is for target, not terrorist, right?

Kind of looks like a clone of that HL2 mod, Neo Tokyo.  Interesting...

Your on notice game developers GiantBomb has proper internet now so you can't blame them for connectivity issues.

This QL is also mega echo-y. Sounds like you guys are using a room mic or something.

" you can get cod4 goty for 18 dollars on amazon. jeff is right. but thats just for the 360. others are 20+  but this game still looks generic and i shall not be purchasing "

Could make for an accessible TNT for when they get everything set up.

but I have both MW2 and Battlefield.  If you only have $15 to spend, just save up and get a real shooter.

HAH, DICEY, I saw what you did there Jeff

Oh man, Jeff sounds like the new office displeases him.
 
Those digi-grenades bestow the ability to lob handfuls of Japanese porn.

They got like 3 kills in 15 minutes. >___O
