The main thing is turning off the mouse acceleration:
My Documents/My Games/Unreal Tournament 3/UTGame/Config/UTInput.ini [UTGame.UTConsoleP_layer_Input] bViewAccelerationEnabled=FALSE This thread could also help (some different stuff to try, not sure how much it helps if at all): http://utforums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=605871 ....mouse acceleration. I notice v_sync more - I prefer it to be off, unless the game runs constantly above the refresh rate. Crysis it has to be off. Doom3, Quake4 and UT3 it can be on.
thnx. mouse in bioshock was equaly bad btw, less of an issue in SP but still
oh and on the topic played Alice - rather boring combat design due to crappy one-ammo-for-all weapons and mostly turret-like enemies. FAKK2 had pretty much the same puzzles and jumping but much more interesting combat. Atmosphere is nice but not enough to keep my interest for more than ~5hrs. next didnt have the atmosphere to match Alice though, although I agree that Alice gameplay got old. But there was some pretty imaginative dressup of some puzzles and the level design was great.
Was a missed opportunity for me. A real shame they didn't use the thirdperson perspective a bit more - dodging or close combat or something.
I remember I was looking at the pause screen loads of times before I noticed L-oad S-ave D-elete. Another one of those subliminal design things. Here's a great Portal article: http://www.game-ism.com/?p=91 Wow. Runs very slow for me though (well with Wine). Nice details etc. I'll need to find some "impulse 9" cheat though to trash the whole map.
http://voxelstein3d.sourceforge.net/ kinda cool! Haven't seen voxels for ages. What was that game that used them, Outcast? And there was an rpg too.
Just googled Outcast, it looks pretty good for a 1999 game! http://www.quandaryland.com/2006/pix2006/Outcast1b.jpg Then I remembered the voxel rpg I played was called Hexplore, and I remember that looking good too, but apparently my memory has completely deserted me: http://www.vollversion.de/bilder/197_2_full.jpg Oh dear. I'm not sure Outcast uses voxels, there's a load of sites saying it does, but surely it just uses heightmapped terrain?
its both voxels and polys (for models)
it has bumpmapping, bump+reflection on the water, AntiAlasing and DepthOfField - all in software running pretty fast on a 400mhz p3 I must have been running a P233 at the time, and I don't remember it running that badly on that even!
Picked this up for 5 pounds yesterday. Sat up till 3:30 playing it! I'll tell you what it is to me: Half Oblivion and half Half-Life.
I dont like the Oblivion elements (crappy animation) but I love the Half-Life side. Very atmospheric, addictive RPG game-play, non-linearity. Gameplay seemed a bit unfair at points. For a game called Stalker you would have thought it would be a bit easier to stalk things! Good fun none-the-less! I think I have to get it, don't I. Dirt cheap bizzle.
Still playing Gothic3 BTW. Only just discovered you can dig up some graves to get more cash. Woot. Very misleading - its neither
Yeah its a nonlinear realistic/sci-fi shooter with some open gameplay and huge open maps. And a dash of RPG elements. Its probably the best game from the previous year, best PC action game for sure. Unless you totally hate shooters and cant stand freedom and nonlinearity - its highly recommended. Despite all the shortcomings its the most enjoyable and immersive game Iv played in some years.
