Pop Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 Should've named him "Rock". If you can throw people through the walls of shacks, does that mean that the shacks can collapse? That destrection looks exceptionally clean. Destructible environments have been done before in FPSs (Red Faction 2, which I'm still embarassed to have played all the way through) but not very well. I'm guessing they just marked a specific place on the wall that could be destroyed with flying bodies. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
Slowtrain Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 David was the TV series (the producers thought "Bruce" was too effeminate), even though his name was "Bruce David Banner" in the comics, IIRC. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Did you look that up? Or did you just know that? 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.

I'm guessing they just marked a specific place on the wall that could be destroyed with flying bodies. Crytek claims (of course..) that their destruction will be like nothing we've seen before. They've released videos showing how they demolish an entire building by driving a truck through it, how full auto on a Gatlin gun tears down the forest in front of you and stuff like that. I vaguely remember seeing wooden planks splinter exactly on the spot where you shoot them too.. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Morgoth Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 Ohh...after all this GFX hype and stuff I forgot something to ask: What's actually the story about the game? I just don't remember anymore... Not that it is any important when I also can throw people through walls and watch the physical perfectly calculated wooden plank flying around, which also bounce back properly according to DX10 Sm 4.0 specifications....and stuff. Rain makes everything better.

metadigital Posted January 12, 2007 Author Posted January 12, 2007 Well, the tv series was on when I was younger, and The Incredible Hulk was my favourite comic (along with Iron Man: I still remember the look on the customs official's face when I took my entire collection through the checkpoint at Moscow :D ); so it only makes sense that I took an active interest in such details.

Darque Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 But will it be fun? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I could throw guys through walls all day long and not get bored with it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, ok, that'd be fun.
Darque Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 It's going to be very Deus Exi-like, with bonuses to slealth, power, speed, regeneration etc. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ok, now this has potential.

mkreku Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 You guys need to check out the trailer on Gametrailers, the one where the player takes down a helicopter. It really resembles the best moments in Boiling Point (a small favourite of mine) and that's a good thing! Let's see if this link works: http://www.gametrailers.com/player.php?id=16173&type=mov Ps. It works. If you turn off Ad Block Plus in Firefox.. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

Watchman Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 The game looks quite cool!! It is DirectX 10!! But if that is a problem for anyone, know that it is also has a DirectX 9 version for anyone that has yet to spent all the $$$$ to get a full DirectX 10 machine to play it on.
Bokishi Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 I like how this game makes Oblivion look fugly. Current 3DMark
Pop Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 There's apparently a scaled-back dx9 port coming to the 360. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
metadigital Posted January 14, 2007 Author Posted January 14, 2007 The Xbox 360 version will supposedly incorporate similar story elements to its PC brethren, but will feature different gameplay aspects (physics, environments, etc.) that better utilize 360's DirectX 9 technology (the PC version is being built using DirectX 10). I wonder if it will be multi-threaded ... OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
