Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare
 

This game comes out tomorrow (2/24) at a lower-than-standard pricing for the 360 ($29.99) and for the Xbox One ($39.99). It will be coming in the Spring to PC.

I haven't heard much buzz, there's still a review embargo in effect and I wouldn't be at all surprised if it sucked (or at least disappoints). It sort of looks like an XBLA at a premium price. Then again, Peggle 2 proved to be a pretty great game (if not a big departure from its predecessor), so maybe Pop Cap is still on their game despite the EA Buyout. Guess we'll see tomorrow.

Anyone else interested in this game?

I did the pre-order from Wal-Mart, so I will pick it up tomorrow. I enjoyed the first, but I'm not so sure that I like what I'm seeing in the videos so far. Guess time will tell.

Re: Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare
 

Looks like fun.

Also glad they found something they can run at 1080p. :up:

Re: Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare
 

The first?

Do comments like this add anything to the discussion?

Re: Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare
 

Humor? Sarcasm?

Normally welcome, unless it's me.

MOD NOTE:

It wasn't funny.
Not normally welcome regardless of which user.
Jabs like this are not welcome.

Re: Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare
 

I said it looked fun. And it does.

Would like to see it on a handheld, as it seems perfect for short sessions.

Re: Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare
 

As a fan of PvZ, I was going to get this for sure. Then I heard there's no single player campaign and it's MP only. So no sale for me.

I think Titanfall is the same way.

Re: Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare
 

For a $30-$40 game this better not have fucking Micro-Transactions!

Re: Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare
 

It won't.

I haven't paid much attention to this game since it was announced; didn't realize it was just multiplayer.

Re: Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare
 

I'll still never understand why people on this forum seem to get so butt-hurt about "console bashing". It's the only forum I've ever visited where speaking about a console's capabilities (whether truthful, negative, unconstructive, or otherwise) is not allowed. Hell most of what we post is unconstructive, if we were to stop posting comments like those, there'd barely be any activity here!

Re: Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare
 

I didn't know that. Makes it much less interesting for me as well.


From Joystiq:
No microtransactions in PvZ: Garden Warfare at launch

by Thomas Schulenberg Writer RSS on Feb 22nd 2014 4:30PM

Unlike the free-to-play, mobile lawn defense simulator, Plants vs. Zombies 2, microtransactions aren't planned for the launch of Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare.

In an interview with GameSpot, PopCap producer Brian Lindley stated that Garden Warfare won't have microtransactions "at launch," but noted that PopCap will watch in-game metrics and fan reaction to determine where to take the game next.

We can only guess as to what those plans may be, but hopefully they aren't comparable to the temporary "test" of charging to spawn new lawnmowers in PvZ2, as reported by GameSpot.

Re: Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare
 

There's a difference between, (1) "This game looks better on the PS4 because of reasons X, Y, Z" and (2) going into every XBox game thread just to say that it's inferior to the PS4 version.**

We not only allow #1 but we encourage it. So your highlighted statement above is quite incorrect. However, we don't care for #2, and if that means there will be very little activity here, then so be it.

As a general rule, we don't want fanboyism to be overly expressed if it means constantly bringing down competing consoles. It's annoying. Just stay in your corner (threads dedicated to the consoles of your choice) and say good shit about the console and shut up about any of the other consoles. If you want to be critical, then be equally critical towards all systems, and if you can't, then go away and find another forum to troll.


**This is just an example. This may or may not reflect exactly what's going on here so don't anyone freak out.

:shrug: FWIW, I thought it was worthy of a chuckle...

Re: Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare
 

You would... ;)

Re: Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare
 

It's just a fucking video game console, some people take this stuff WAY too seriously.

Re: Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare
 

I hear enough snark about apple vs android, mac vs pc, etc throughout my real life that I want the internet to be my last bastion of civilized discussion.

Re: Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare
 

Are you new to the internet?

Re: Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare
 

Concur.

Re: Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare
 

I pre-ordered this game and its on the way. Video Major Nelson had up the other looked really fun.

Re: Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare
 

IGN gave it a "good" ... limited split screen was their biggest negative

Re: Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare
 

As it turns out, this is the best-reviewed game being released today.

Re: Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare
 

ok ... just picked it up and encountered a problem before even playing 1 game ... it is asking me to setup an origin account, but isn't letting me actually log into the origin account I already have! WTF!

Re: Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare
 

I hate when console games ask me to log into their proprietary accounts as well as my Xbox Live or PSN account. Never understood why I needed to do that with EA or THQ (though I do sort of get it with Ubisoft, given the Uplay rewards and all that).

Re: Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare
 

Got past it by choosing a new name ... so far I'm enjoying this game, though I need to stop trying to run and gun ... fun so far, though

Re: Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare
 

I played this quite a bit last night. Very fun. Nice change of pace from the standard BFs and CODs of the world.

Re: Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare
 

I really wish it had split screen on the 360. It sounds like TF with PvZ characters which should be pretty interesting.

Re: Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare
 

Xbone has split screen plus tablet support for a third person in boss mode.

Re: Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare
 

Has anyone tried the new FREE DLC popcap just rolled out with? I seem to keep getting kicked out.

Re: Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare
 

I've been playing it. The new map is good. Always like getting free DLC.

Re: Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare
 

Plants.vs Zombies coming to PS4 and PS3 on August 19, 2014. Same details for the PS4 as the XO : 1080p & 60 FPS. DLC included from day one. Guess whatever exclusivity deal MS swung, wasn't for very long.

Re: Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare
 

Friendly correction: 900p on XB1

Re: Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare
 

:D Fine. They're cartoon plants; I doubt it will make much difference.

Fun game though. Good first FPS for kids

Re: Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare
 

I've been playing this a lot lately. It's a ton of fun for someone like me who doesn't normally like competitive multiplayer. And it looks amazing on Xbox One.

Glad to see they're expanding to a wider audience.

Re: Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare
 

I agree. Just sticking to the facts. ;)

I am looking forward to checking it out, probably the first time it goes on sale. I like shooters, but I find realistic current war settings to be a little bit offputting because of things I've seen firsthand. It's part of the reason that I liked the slightly cartoony Warhawk and BFBC2 so much but didn't care for BF3.

Re: Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare
 

I wonder when that Titanfall 1.5 edition will get announced for PS4 ;)

Re: Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare
 

Re: Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare
 

Whole series from EA's Twitter yesterday:

Re: Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare
 

I DL the trailer on the 360 and thought thegame then looked good and fun. On PS4....probably a better wow factor. Looks like come August I'll be battling evil Demons in Diablo III and Plants & Zombies in the garden.
