Slowtrain Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 I saw nothing new, but what I did see touched my special place. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, that makes it all good then! Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.
6 Foot Invisible Rabbit Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 I just can't get excited about another FPS game. I will be skipping it. Harvey
Nartwak Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Hmm. 1. I can't take anybody with a lisp seriously, at least not in a productive way. "sexhual organsh" 2. Holy God. When I try to run this I'm going to need some of my own special water effects to put out my computer.

Tigranes Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Yeah, the guy does try to say "there are a lot of options here on what to do" then either reverts to classic options or just say "plasmids". Doesn't matter though, there are a wealth of existing options made available and the atmosphere is really what will make the game. Was kind of like watching the Witcher promos really.

Lyric Suite Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 I watched about half then got bored. Nothing in there I haven't seen before. Up to the point I watched it was turrets, security cameras, security bots, patches, hack, run, fight. Absolutely nothing original. That was a video aimed at kids who don't realize this has all been done before. True, but even if it is a complete recycle of the ideas used in System Shock 2, i'm still looking forward to this game. In the end, even the old System Shock is still better then most FPS released this days, so why not?
Meshugger Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 (edited) Looks nice, sounds good and the gameplay and design sounds like something in the vein of Deus Ex or System Shock. Me likey, me buy on releasedate. Also, mr. Levine seems enthusiastic about the gameplay and how it will define the FPS-genre for the future. Sadly, this game will probably sell 400-500k and EA will still reply with: "YO! 50-cent: Bulletproof sold 2 million with a significant lower cost in development. Nice try, be-otch!"

mkreku Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Deus Ex and Doom 3 are about as related as Planescape: Torment and Diablo. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
6 Foot Invisible Rabbit Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Well, PS:T and Diablo are both CRPGs, one being barely and Deus Ex and Doom 3 are both FPS games, one being barely. Harvey
Hassat Hunter Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 (edited) Wait; Hades admits Diablo is a RPG? And I have to say the footage doesn't really impresses me; and gives me more DX:IW shivers than I already had. Let's wait for the actual playable demo...

6 Foot Invisible Rabbit Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Yep, Diablo is a RPG. A p[iss poor and crappy RPG but a RPG none the less. Harvey
alanschu Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Looking forward to this one. I can't watch the video at work though, and I don't have internet at home until tomorrow.
Calax Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 so wait... an entire society survived on a bunch of vampiric little girls with guys who look like they could bench press Montana guarding them? Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
mkreku Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Oh yeah, now that you mention it: they did NOT look like they could benchpress.. anything. In fact, for something that's called a "Big Daddy" I must say they looked extremely unintimidating. They just resemble one of those scuba diving suits from the early twentieth century (which is probably what they aimed for.. kinda). I wish they would at least make the Big Daddy's bigger. With a more powerful stride. I wish they would tower over you and move like unstoppable juggernauts! None of that slow, sedated shuffling down the corridors. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Darque Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Maybe they're meant to be tough (as in taking damage) rather than physically strong. I mean, how strong do they really need to be?
Nartwak Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 They just resemble one of those scuba diving suits from the early twentieth century (which is probably what they aimed for.. kinda). Gee, do you really think that's what they were going for? Huh?
Hassat Hunter Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 I mean, how strong do they really need to be? If a fight with one of those 4 AP bullet mutated humans took so long they could battle themselves in they seem to be pretty tough but poor damage suppliers ^ I agree that that is such a stupid idiotic pathetic garbage hateful retarded scumbag evil satanic nazi like term ever created.

Gee, do you really think that's what they were going for? Huh? Who knows. They weren't exactly a wonder of game design. They might as well have been the designers vision of a terrifying presence, something which they failed horribly at providing. Big Daddy my ass, just rename the suckers Medium Sized Scuba Diving Gear. Catchy! Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
alanschu Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 You seem surprised by this. I've seen screenshots and concept art for quite a while that depicted the "Big Daddys" as people inside the old deep sea diving suit. As an aside, the fact that they can walk around out of water in them is actually a remarkable feat of strength.
Nartwak Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Dur hurr It's true these characters, which may be stylized after early rigid diving suits, do fail to be intimidating when not provoked.
Surreptishus Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 The developer commentary was really bad. Aside from the nasal lispy quality of the voice, the guy kept alluding to some nifty features and then proceede to not demonstrate them. The game itself looks like fun but the gun was annoying.
Calax Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 the point stands... why does a society subsist on little girls being vampires? Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
alanschu Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 There's something phisiologically different about them, that lets them process something (Adam I think it is called) that the others need to survive. Unfortunately for them, only the little sisters are able to process it. Biological experiments gone wrong!
