Func_Msgboard: Other PC Games Thread.

Posted by - on 2004/09/27 08:12:48

So with the film and music threads still going and being discussed... why don't we get some discussion going on something on topic to the board? What other games are you playing now?

Ok Finished It

same comments as above for the whole thing except that there are lots of moments of spoogeworthy graphics, especially in the levels inside the nexus area. Insane amounts of detail in some of those bits without seeming too cluttered as UT2KXX does (well from screenshots anyway)

Id Software's Cancelled Game

#2601 posted by starbuck on 2009/05/12 19:24:43

did anyone else completely miss this news last year?

That's all I can find on it, apparently id software were developing a game with id tech 5 for 18 months, which they abandoned because they felt it was rehashing Doom 3. Anyone got any more information?

Yeah, It Was Called Rage

Good riddance.

Nah

#2603 posted by starbuck on 2009/05/12 19:55:58

It was called 'Darkness', Rage is the project they dropped Darkness for.

Yeah

I remember that. Based on what I remember thinking I heard about it, I think they made a good decision to cancel it. Wasn't that big a deal to me anyway.

Plants Vs Zombies

Greatest game ever made.

Discuss.

For some odd reason, my 9800 GTX does not like the demo, and will, after a few minutes, turn everything into seemingly 8-bit colors and freeze.

Having said that, what I did play of it was boring, and it doesn't seem like it will hold my attention for long. Of course, Peggle as well did not hold my attention either.

Just those kinds of games I suppose.

PvZ

really want to try the demo, but can't really justify it right now, being in the middle of finals. Damn you PopCap, with your games so full of PopCrack, ho ho ho etc.

fab game, although after this and q4, I'm oppressive teched out :)

Someone mentioned ages ago the fact that you cant die, I thought the spirit levels were pretty much the same punishment wise as reloading from where you die (ie if you are used to autosaving, no real difference).

I'm Really Looking Forward To This:

Holy crap, that looks killer! Great environments!! And I loved ICO to death so this is a day one purchase for me. Awesome, awesome...

Whats ICO?

#2620 posted by nitin on 2009/05/20 14:25:08

Hmm

#2621 posted by nonentity on 2009/05/20 14:51:00

One of the best games ever; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ico

#2622 posted by JneeraZ on 2009/05/20 15:28:11

Whats ICO?

Get out. And leave your gamer card by the door on your way out.

Holy Shit

#2623 posted by starbuck on 2009/05/20 19:44:59

that's big news! Looks exactly halfway between ICO and SOTC. This is probably years away isn't it :(

I'm Wondering

#2624 posted by ijed on 2009/05/20 20:30:04

If you control the Hippogriff or the kid.

. . . and why the kid's art style looks completely different from the rest of the game.
