First FPS on Facebook?
I was surprised a few months ago when I saw a friend playing poker on facebook “it’s got proper graphics!” I exclaimed, to which he showed me some of the other “applications” he played on a daily basis. Impressed but not ecstatic was my main feeling after leaving his house that night, I mean, mafia wars and farmville may have it’s fans but the gameplay is mostly static which is the same of all facebook’s games…until now.
3G Studios, Inc., an independent video game studio based in Reno, NV, announces the pending launch of the first “social shooter” game. The game will initially be available exclusively on Facebook. 3G has developed several top-selling titles and will be taking the world of social games to a whole new level by launching a new video game franchise worldwide on the largest social networking websites.
“Our new title, Brave Arms, will bring First-Person Shooter games to the masses,” said James Kosta, 3G Studios’ Chief Executive Officer, “It’s about fast-paced action and either competing against or forming teams with your friends. We want people to feel empowered and to share in a real video game experience.” The public is being invited to reserve their chosen name for the upcoming Public Beta of the game at http://www.bravearms.com.
So – will this change the face of facebook gaming? who knows, until we see it/experience it but the ambition is certainly there.
this sounds way better than the other facebook games ive seen. cant wait to try this game out and frag some facebook friends
Facebook seems to be nothing but an online add for linked sites, which grab your personal info. If I see another “here’s a pig” or a damn chicken coop, or joinn my gang, I am going postal!
even though I enjoy the games, I do wish you could opt out of the endless reports that go to non-players. I am certain that there is some computer programer smart enough to do that. FB, would prefer that everyone have to endure this crap because they make money off those folks who buy the real cash for the games.
