I was hoping that nothing would ever remind me of Unreal II, oh well, a couple of days complete rest, and some strong medication should cure that. :)
HL2 released just in time for christmas. What a surprise... The sad part is of course that lots of other good games will now stay in the dark. That is, if Valve manages to release the game in time (like that'll ever happen).
Am I the only one who feels that Doom 3 has some of the worst monster design in recent games? (And by "recent games" I mean all FPS since Daikatana.)
I guess you refer then to the recent shots of the revenant and trites. Yeah. They look meh.
The zombies are humans, which is fair enough. Then there's those baby insects, which I think are quite cool, and definately unusual. Then pinky and hellknight, which ,quite frankly, I think are fucktasticly marvellous. So you are a big, fat doodiehead, Mr.Rectum. Heh, I like that. I also like the saluting cat. I think he has a name, but I forget what it is.
<br><br> Skeletor with guns for shoulders is pretty lame, but the rest of the baddies look good to me. Id seems to be holding back on screens from hell, and I expect that that is where the coolest of the monsters are going to be. I thought of Coriolis Storm when I saw that d3 shot too. If I was Lun, I'd try and make this work for me so I'd get a position at id -- or at least some of that fat, sweet Activision cash.
dear id,
I made a level with your tools for one of your games, and I think that you have ripped off my design. Please send $50,000 in used cash, smaller bills only, to me. Or I will have to take legal action. regards, me (Adding Ken Starr to speed-dial, looking up 'subpoena' on webster. etc. etc.) about similarities Abyss put it well.
as for monster - they all look damn PLASTIC ID better work on gloss/speculiar texturemaps and if you like to drool over screens, check stalker definately the most impressive technology and stunningly realistic looks http://www.gamershell.com/hellzone_FPS_STALKER.shtml http://www.stalker-game.com I'd agree with the ripping off of Coriolis Storm if a) It looked something like Coriolis Storm (more than a passing resemblance) and b) Coriolis Storm wasn't so derivative of 'standard other planet base' design.
Everyone knows what a futuristic base would look like, that's why they all look the same. We need thick-ass columns everyfuckinwhere, because... eh. uhm. BECAUSE OF ALL THE CABLING! Yes, that's why. The wi-fi experiment went belly up, on account of fetuses growing sixteen nipples and half-a-brain. So. Cabling. Yes.
Also, vis-blocking... Fileplanet has been kind enough to make a 10 minute UT2004 Gameplay Vid, which was previously only (officialy) available to subscribers, available to rest of us unsubscribed rabble. It is a tickle under 300mb.
So if UT2004/2003 floats your boat go at it. http://www.fileplanet.com/files/130000/130472.shtml I am currently in a 5 minute cue, and will probably only get transfer speeds of 50KB/sec :( Will it be worth it? ,I'll let you know. I sure hope the vehicles handle nice, but from what I seen in the vid, I have my doubts about some of them, but then......... they may be OK. Dogfighting looks like it would be much fun. All in all I think it 'could' be quite good. The vehicle part of the game would be nothing new to those of you who play/have played games before that include them, but for me, I haven't really been into any games that include vehicles (apart from out and out racers) I have tried the UT2003 mod "Conquest Marines" which at the time included a tank type thing and a hover bike type thing, the tank was a blast, the hover bike not so, because of the handling, and I got the same feeling from some of the vehicles in the vid, that their handling 'may' be offputting, for me at least. I think I'll definately get the game when released.
Was it worth the 300mb download, well, if you are a UT2003 fan, for sure, If you are like me and have a bit more than a passing interest in UT2003, and want to see a bit of what it will be like, I'd say yeah. Other than that, unless you got some of your download cap you want to use up, and want to watch it so as you can say "it's just UT2003 with vehicles, some extra weapons, and a couple of new game modes" (which we all already knew anyway) then NA Very nice screenshots.. I'm amazed. I can see myself playing too many games again only this time I don't have to worry about bad grades :P
sm51 will be Sunday, instead of the speedmapping norm Saturday. This is because neither I nor Starbuck will be around to run it. You may still make a map saturday in 100 mins, just email or otherwise get it to me by Sunday. Scampie@spawnpoint.org!
We'll get together at 4 pm EST, which is 8 GMT, 9 UK time... same time sm50 was. We figure the earlier time was just better for both the americans and the brits. The theme will be '-ish' maps, like Aardappel's famous maps. Rules aren't strict as to what an -ish map is, just as long as the layout is obviously stolen from some well known map. additions, subtracts, themes, textures, gametypes, etc etc etc may be as close or differant as the original map as the mapper wishes. Only other thing I ask is that nobody make an ish map of a map they themsealves originally made. woo woo http://www.fileplanet.com/files/130000/130840.shtml
For any who are interested. Requires divx. 16.6mb
