FrozenImplosion Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Well I just thought this might be fun as a poll So many people say that Singularity takes the best from the best. Which game do you think Singularity takes the most from though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dz06lt Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 ill say bioshock, while not exactly the same it has the same idea. I really loved this game too bad it will never get the credit it deserves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenImplosion Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 Completely agree^. Such a good game that obviously isn't getting the hype it deserves :/ It's like the FPS version of Darksiders, except Darksiders GOT the deserved hype! And Darksiders was equally awesome!

Hyakotake Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I guess it's mostly like Bioshock. But I see traces of all these games: Bioshock (1+2) - skill system, general mood (mostly the first half and flashback sequences) Metro 2033 - mutated monsters, the Russian setting Half-Life 2 - the gravity gun/TMD comparison TimeShift - time powers Lost - THAT reference :-) Metroid - THAT other reference :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RK1 BulletBait Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I'd have to say that this game really reminds me of Wolfenstein. Same engine, same voice actors in a lot of cases, similar doom-manipulating device on/in your hand, similar story (lots of secret, dark stuff going on during a non-fiction event, Wolfenstein's case is WWII, Singularity's is the Cold War) where the bad guys mess with stuff they shouldn't, similar weapon handling, similar weapon and powers upgrading, the interactive world of finding stuff like notes and other things revealing minor tidbits that help support the story, there's probably more. Oh, and it's the same dev. That counts for somethin', obviously. But I've played Wolfenstein and I'm currently playing this game and I can't help but think of Wolfenstein when I play. I've never played either of the Bioshocks so I can't say anything about that other than the colors are somewhat similar, but overall Singularity has a more similar art style to, you guessed it; Wolfenstein. So I guess I'd have to go with the 'Singularity' option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toaster Forster Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Not played half life so would have to say bioshock, though i'd say it doesn't come close too being as good or enjoyable,not saying it's rubbish though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
master_shake_350 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 TimShift.... This, it reminds me of Timeshift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuizBatistaE Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I think it's the most similar to Bioshock; but i think it's not good enough as bioshock or bioshock 2, but is a great game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRevolt Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I kinda see it as a fusion of Bioshock and TimeShift with a couple of other twists. Very well executed though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radioactive Microbe Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I'd have to say either bioshock for the basic gameplay, or Wolfenstien for the general mood/feel. very underrated, and even the MP isn't that bad. Definitely Left 4 Dead roots in the MP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qonok Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) Bioshock. There are so many similarities that it is almost like it could be of the Bioshock family. Instead of Plasmids you have the TMD (which works quite the same way). Both have artistic similarities to each other. Both are set in an area that went diabolically wrong. Heck, even the game tile picture you see for the games are quite similar. Then you have the recordings and movies supplying history all over the place. As I am playing through Singularity, all I can think about is how much the atmosphere and play is so similar to Bioshock. It is a very good game so far. Wish I could have started it earlier.

ChickinOnaChain Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 BioShock and TimeShift to me. Both fun games. Too bad when I had Singularity, it was when I was getting tired of FPS. I ended up selling it, along with 3-4 other shooters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarcasm Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 From the beginning it screamed Bioshock for me, more the first Bioshock than the second. But it definitely reminded me of Bioshock. - The old-fashioned setting - Flashbacks - Atlas/Barisov - I say this because Barisov has a statue of himself wearing the TMD if you choose to kill yourself. I inferred that this means he becomes somewhat of a dictator himself. - The communication with NPCs via radio - Plasmids/TMD - Plasmids/Propane&CryoTanks - The weapons were all pretty similar - Upgrading systems were similar Yeah.

Aidexx Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Singularity is like a bastard child of Bioshock and fallout, who is a big fan of GeoW series. That's how it feels to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadsea 1993 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) hands down bioshock. the game devs have even said that ken levine and the bioshock series were huge inspirations behind singularity. i read that in game informer back in early 2010. defnitly not a copy cat though this game is great and offers new content in a otherwise generic game genre known as fps. some people are saying time shift,sure the time powers give it away but honestly besides that to me this game feels nothing like time shift. i mean time shift wasnt pulse pounding or scary and it was as down to earth fps with a few added gameplay stuff as you can get. this game is fresh and cant wait to get back to it. stupid backlog lol Edited August 9, 2013 by Deadsea 1993 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggiez Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Have only played a little bit of Singularity but I voted on Bioshock because it has that feel to it. As someone mentioned it also has a bit of Wolfenstein thrown into the mix. Both good games so that ain't a bad thing in the slightest. From the little I've played Singularity feels like a really good game. However I really kind of wished that they hadn't included a MP part. I haven't tried it out yet but I can imagine the MP beeing mainly empty these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prof Boom Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Never got to play Bioshock unfortunately, had the opportunity to play Bioshock 2, and Half Life 2. I'd say from my experience, it's has the feel of both Bioshock and Half Life. Just it has its uniqueness, haven't played any game based in Mother Russia since I think CoD 2, it might be the only one I have played based in that location. Still fun, plus short campaign making 2 playthroughs easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
