First time we ever heard of World War 3, online shooter made by a Polish studio Farm 51, was in May, when we were given an eye-catching but not overly informative agglomeration of cut-scenes. Now though, during this year’s Gamescom a few days ago, Farm 51 has provided us with something much better, namely a two and a half minute gameplay trailer showing off the game in all its glory. It shows us much (hopefully not all) that the game has to offer – frantic, fast-paced on-foot action, environmental destruction (loved the way the tree was brought down by heavy fire, or how the columns looked after being shot up), usage of various vehicles and even battle drones. All of this takes place in a pretty exotic location that is Warsaw, the capital city of Poland. Kudos for not bringing us to USA for the -nth time.

Farm 51’s hope is that their relatively conservative shooter with an original background (other known in-game location is Berlin, which too is not a mainstay in the non-WW2 video games) will bring over multiplayer fans who have got tired of excesses/regressions of CoD and Battlefield series. Personally I am more interested in Doom: Eternal, but I wish Farm 51 many successes.
