What happens when free-to-play games aren't free?
Added: 24.11.2013 4:17 | 10 views | 0 comments
Rewind some eight years and you'll remember a time when DLC was a dirty word - when it symbolised a certain arrogance and greed typified in the shining armour that could sit on The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion's horses, for a price. It took the best part of a generation for the concept of DLC to settle in, and for it to become a respected, at times respectable way to extend the lifespan of a game.
More recently there's been another dirty phrase often recounted with curled lips: free-to-play. For a long while it's been a byword for fleecing players and questionable business ethics masquerading as game design - but as the success of the likes of League of Legends, Planetside 2, World of Tanks and the retooling of Team Fortress 2 suggest, it's a system that can work for player and developer alike.

| Plants Vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare - Preview

Plants Fortress Zombie.
When Electronic Arts and PopCap that theyÄ‚Ë€â„Ëd be making a multiplayer shooter out of the epic struggle between plants, the very definition of nature and life, and zombies, an enemy game developers love because they can give you thousands of undead to kill, they only showed four-player co-op. Thankfully, you can take control of zombies too. Maybe itÄ‚Ë€â„Ëll teach us that the undead have feelings and as much desire to dominate others online as humans do.
I got a chance to play over an hour of Plants Vs. Zombies Garden Warfare yesterday at EAÄ‚Ë€â„Ës offices in the Bay Area, and at the end of the event they had to tear my cold undead hands off the controller. PopCap introduced us to one of the two newly announced competitive modes that supports up to 24 players. By giving you distinct classes to play in a team-based setting, the developers at EA Canada and PopCap might have just stumbled on the best new shooter formula since .
Peashooter leads off for Plants. Armed with deadly peas (duh), Peashooter can also drop a chili bomb near an enemy encampment or hyper-mode sprint across the map in a pinch. Peashooter can also root in and use his gatling gun to mow down advancing forces. Chomper joins him as one of the main offensive classes for Plants. Chomper can burrow underground for a short period of time and emerge directly underneath an enemy for an instant kill. Sneak up behind a zombie and he can get another instant kill when a red icon appears on a zombie's butt or back. Chomper can also goop zombies to slow them down or lay spike weeds to string enemies up by their feet.
Chomper is every bit as satisfying to play as Team Fortress 2Ä‚Ë€â„Ës Spy. While the developers like to say they were aided by Battlefield's Frostbite engin and that theyÄ‚Ë€â„Ëve got the shooter DNA necessary for awesome gameplay, even the classes in Battlefield donÄ‚Ë€â„Ët feel this varied. They donÄ‚Ë€â„Ët feel so wildly unique and distinct. Garden Warfare is colorful in this way and, of course, in the eyeball department too. Character models look slightly grown-up, sometimes grotesque, sometimes irradiant.
