but that's the coolest FPS I've seen since forever. I hope it ends up with some depth though, I can imagine the basic pattern of 'shoot guy, move' will get stale after a while. 

I can imagine the basic pattern of 'shoot guy, move' will get stale after a while.
was gonna say that.
interesting idea, but it's gonna need more than that for a game.

is that the graphics style of the game or is it just for demoing? 

Thanks 

When it comes to super-stylized killing in slow-mo with hip music, am I the only one who has an ethical problem? This really is reduced to shooting silhouettes of people, the logical reduction of the FPS genre. In this form, I'm starting to find it slightly unsettling because the usual blanket of obfuscation (zombie outbreak etc) is peeled away and the surprisingly ugly core (shooting representations of people for entertainment) becomes quite apparent. 

I mean, "Kill them all" in a game trailer is pretty psycho. 

You're not the only one. I was having similar thoughts. 

Yeah I agree, and it's not just in games, but also in Hollywood's gun culture.

Another example, when I was playing Rage I generally had no trouble putting enemies out of their misery, since either they were obviously pure evil or genetic engineered freaks that were a cancer to their environment. But the Shrouded bandits didn't seem all that bad to me and I was starting to wonder why I had to mow them down rather than make some deal with their leader.

In 'terrorist' FPS things quickly become geopolitical. Or take America's Army where each team sees the other one as Middle Eastern 'terrorists'. Gives it all a sour taste. 

It sure is an interesting twist on the bullet time mechanic but it seriously needs more to do besides shooting red enemies. 

I kinda did that in Quake by just adding host_framerate 0.00000001 respectively host_framerate 0 to all movements and actions. Could not find my old config for that (10 years?!) but it was something like

alias +fs "host_framerate 0; +forward"
alias -fs "host_framerate 0.000001; -forward"
bind r +fs

Gets old really quick. 

haha, that's awesome. you could even code some quick qc hack to continuously feed host_framerate console commands based on player velocity to get the same effect in the demo. 

i did that at some point with reaper bots... since reapers get better to match your skill, they quickly adapted and it became quasi-challenging again. But still kind of cool for an hour. 

Why is TrustedInstaller.exe trashing my HDD, making gaming impossible and how do I properly stop it?

how long has it been doing that. isn't it part of the automatic undates? like the updates finish and it should settle down. 

Windows Update was fuxored (last Tuesday). KB2817630, KB2810009, KB2760411, KB2760588 and KB276058 seem to be the culprits. It seems to be related to Office products. They released "Fixes" (Last Wednesday) that worked for some but not for others. MS ain't talking last I heard so... I don't know what to say other than BOHICA. 

with KB2760411 and KB60760588 appears to be fixed (at least for me). 

Waiting for it...

Hey, I resurrected my old personal/vanity website and threw away all the non-Quake/Q3 stuff (because really who cares about that).

BTW, does anyone happen to have a copy of oehm.pk3? When I was going through the old Quake 3 maps that we used to play on kitty1, that was one that I couldn't find. 

On youtube 

watch till the end
