I think it looks really smart. I wonder who is responsible for it.... Than the other Aliens mod.
TBF its got several cool features for a quake mod - a flashlight, breakables, interesting map, and a cool looking pulse rifle. I mean I would rather play Aliens:CM too, but this is Quake. Dont ask me why I'm sticking up for something I've only seen in a Youtube video with no sound. I just love the vibe of the Aliens universe. The most important thing for an Aliens game IMO is the AI of the aliens. Which is why I prefer AVP to AVP2. Because the aliens were a fuck-of-a-load scarier because they were quicker, they flanked you and they seemed to be on the cieling a lot more than in AVP2. And TBF this mod doesnt look like it achieved that. But y'know, I'm forever the optimist! Thats why you love me sooooo much Shambler. (meh - 25 tomorrow. thats not a good milestone) No, THIS is Quake http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=OhZ8HyLalKs
I mean..... (sigh)
Im sorry. PUT DOWN. Again :( And why? Well because it makes you FEEL GOOD. But *I* thought it looked cool. *I* dont think it looked like a milestone in "Quake" style gameplay, but I thought the level looked like it had been put together with a little bit of TLC. The progs (monsters, guns etc) looked like a good effort at creating Aliens weaponry and fauna for the "Quake Engine".
It wasnt a box corridor, witha box room at the end, and very little else, like the last "Aliens Quake" mod that I saw. So I commend ye Polish modder whom put it together for trying real hard at creating something *better*. You dun good! Brilliant start to the day, watching Ricky's descent into madness.
Makes the coffee taste that little bit better ;p shambler or czg so seriously.
That aliens mod looked like quite a lot of effort went into it. Modeling and animating the aliens would be the next step. And getting better textures. But I don't think it's necessary a good idea to make something like that - there are already specialized games for that and the quake engine has limitations and it's not an original idea... ie there's not that much new to put into the pool of games. Hey Ricky you're a great and multi-talented guy, congratulations on your birthday. In all seriousness.
They've done what they've done well, for what it is. Unfortunately what it is is pointless because: 1. The engine is rubbish for what they're attempting (HL/2 would have worked fine). 2. Other games do it far better. etc. I heartliy see and sccept your point. I do.
The thing is though that really couldnt the same be said for any content for this game? I mean afterall is said and done, its 2009 now (!) and really there's an engine out there for every possible theme for an fps possible! You know - I mean if you wanted to make The Doom 3 engine behave like traditional quake it can be done - just disable crouch, increase the movement speed of the player, make touchable buttons, tweak the controls so you can jump and strafe at the same time and never take more than 5% falling damage, and hey presto! Infact there IS a Doom engine Quake mod, which tried to emulate the Quake game.... http://www.doomwadstation.com/doom3tc/quakemod/ So i mean...... ? Yeah, always awesome to watch someone get upset and abused.
That is the basis of a vast amount comedy yes. Of course, I don't think Ricky was being particularly serious in his posts. Much like Shambler. And CZG. And nearly everyone else. How old are you? Old enough to know not to take everything posts on an internets forum seriously. Yourself? (Actually, I suppose I could take a slice of the rod in your arse and count the rings, but it's just stuck so damn far up there...)
