very good interview joe but i wanted to now if the grenade launcher is shotable
cause in the first game it was just for agr
Here’s a list of a whole bunch of different sounds you could use: [a]http://www.stonewashed.net/explosions.html[/a]
Crap, I got it wrong.
http://www.stonewashed.net/explosions.html
There, I fixed it.
OMG, this was so awesome, we demand more angrynterview, i didnt feel like this in any interview before that someone asks the important questions.
very nice joe.
but im a bit confused when he said the campaign and multiplayer will be independent for the AS-KR 1 does he mean niether have it availible or will only the co op and single player get the AS-KR1 please respond and thanks.
Are you saying we have to choose between the grenade launcher and shotgun thingy?
Can’t we have it customary.
well im vouching for an underslung chainsaw like in gears that would be !!!BAD ASS!!! but it’s entirely up to EA
Weapons as customizable as a Hound? Holy crap, sign me the *power-chord censorship* UP!
I loved the interview. I hope you will do more soon. For the AS-KR1 I think we should be able to get special attachments for it. Each of us would be able to create our own versions of this BADASS piece of awesomeness. Some of us would have gernade launchers, others would have shotguns and maybe net launchers, but no matter what, it will be awesome.
Joe,
Nice video! It was great to meet you at PAX. Glade you got some shots of us in costume.
Awesome video Joe and great interview with Matt!
everything was sweet!
And thank you for the question nico!
The “Asskicker” can be powerful, yet as most of action games show – POWER isn’t always accurate.
Sound ideas : I think it should made something like a “chunlk” sound, light metal with some noise reduction. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tG4FkvN2-2w&feature=fvw – At 0:44, with a little noise reduction and that “metal-ish” sound would be awesome.
Gun ideas : Maybe it should the feature to SHOOT AROUND THE CORNERS?
And Grenade launcher would be OK, as it’s common and pretty useful.
And to make things more “realistic” maybe “glitch” the weapons so it would jam, as it would be a prototype and the heroes just obtain it. Eh, those are my ideas…
The shotgun could double as a grenade launcher if you used Frag-12 shells
Thank you! yes if they can customize rounds for the shotgun, the frag-12 round (used mainly for the aa-12 shotgun) is a grenade round in and of itself. so if they were to include it, we can have both joe. If you get a chance to ask them about any more questions, ask them about ammunition customization, which in the case of the shotgun attachment would mean the possibility of buck shot, metal slug, and frag-12 rounds.
Cool vid, though how could you butcher my name, LoL
Did you get to play the single-player and multiplayer modes?
Hehe it was hilarious when he couldunt pronounce your name
Well i could not do that either. Great video ones again.
LoL yep, sry bout that. I saw the name on the card and I was like WTF. Im terrible at pronouncing crap.
I just played the Single-player, 3 different sections. The multiplayer was under wraps and they were tight lipped about its features.
I did learn that we will be able to create custom logos can we can put on our online characters for multiplayer though.
No prob, I’m just happy you used the question, now got bragging rights for a few days.
I was hooked on this game as soon as I saw this:

Awesome vid Joe, and as for the AS-KR1 underslung, simple answer: there is a type of shotgun round called the Frag-12 which is a grenade round that you can launch from a 12 gauge shotgun (2:00 onwards):

Since you allready have a choice of ammo for the AS-KR1 you would only have to add that to the options to create a pretty devastating weapon that would work in pretty much any circumstance.
True Joe the grenade launcher is more powerful and has a nice solid thump sound when fired but I think just like ryan said the shotgun with the grenade shell would be more partical you can carry more shells that way. You can also benfit from the shotgun by being able to use diffrent rounds unless EA thinks that making such a feature would delay the game to put it in for all the shotgun attached weponse and so in that case go with the grenade launcher like I said I like the thump sounds itr make.
The noob toob in COD4 is the most fun perk that I use for one of my class. Hey why dont we for fun tell our class make up for call of duty 4 here is my current set up.
Class 1 M-4, red tiger strip, grenade launcher, slight of hand so i can load the shell faster, and I think I either use the martydom or the Extreme Conditioning.
Class 2 P90, red dot sight, or Frag X 3, double tap ( I know the P90 is the fastest gun in the game but put that double tap on and it sounds like a chainsaw), and steady aim.
Class 3 Barret .50 cal, Claymore X 2 , Stopping Power, and Iron lungs.
Finally Class 4 M-4, Blue gold, red dot sight, Frag x3, UAV Jammer, Dead Silence.
What about a flamethrower atachment
) ?
Serious bad-assness , i’m soo proud to be part of this comunity i shed a tear (well i was close anyway).
Joe if you could look at this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iuzu0UIB_Ng …. and make a video about it it would be awesome of you .
Ciao.
Yea I saw that and man im seriously interested in what they got going on there. Totally B.S. that its internal use only though.
And I hope they port to consoles, I dont like to do too much gaming on my PC unless its strategy or MMO.
Well we’l see more in time about what platforms it will be available , but they are going to release a 360 version of the first game .
From what i hear it’s going to be really polished and it will be better than the PC version .
Just in case you didn’t knew .
Hello from Argentina, (Game Pirate Country), you throw your shit at him in such a polite way, you’re great.
LoL. That’s the only way. They cant be mad at me for it, and they end up answer the question.
hmm well id stick with the shot gun, in the original game the shotgun was ass compared to the grenade attatchment unless they make the grenade launcher do the cuss cannon when you fire it, id just stick with the shot gun, as for what it sounds like, id make it sound like the end theme, but in machine gun form kinda like making the pitch go up and down to match it that would be awesome
i agree with the gun sounding like the aliens assault rifle. maybe a little lower pitch but that would be perfect. i think a shotgun will be best, but it seems like we’ll be able to make it have whatever we want on there. there is no cooler way to open a door than blowing the lock away with a shotgun.
Awesome first interview. The AS-KR1′s ingame model looks sick!
well if you are asking for suggestions for what the ask-kr1 should sound like, since it is a futuristic looking gun it should sound like it. Remember Aliens 2, with sigourney weaver? remember the guns that the marines used and how they sounded? In my opinion i think it would be cool if it sounded something like that, now obviously not exactly like that, but it could have at elast a futuristic sound to it when it goes off.
as for the underside attachment? well im gonna have to put my vote in for the shotgun, expecially if they went so far in customization to be able to customize what rounds you can use. If they took a lesson from metal gear solid 4, in the case of shotguns you can use standard buck shot, metal slugs (which kick major arse!!) or now they even have grenade rounds that you can shoot out of them such as with the AA-12. I remember that with any game i ever played, i cant tell you how many times the shotgun has saved me, and made short work of both bosses (which got their heads blown off, or did like half of their lives in damage) or crowd control (in which i was able to take out large groups of bad guys no problem with the good olde’ pump-action shotty.
thats my two cents
-Ryan
Love the post man. I definitely want it to sound unique and ill force the guys to try to do just that.
I was thinking sort of like the sounds that I play in the video its from the G.I.Joe Resolute Web movie. But I also remember how unique and bad ass the weapons from the move “The One” with Jet Li Sounded.
Also, i’m leaning towards Grenade Launcher – just because its more powerful.
Grenade Launcher!!!
Oh and what are you looking forward to most about the 40th day?
Customization as stated above for me.
Nice video something else to look forward to next year.
The super customization is going to kick ass.
Hey Joe you should review Section 8.<— just a suggestion
Later
HAVE THE AS-KR1 BE THE PRE-ORDER BONUS!!!
first post. sweet video
