thepixiesrock Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 (edited) I want this game so bad. The video sucked though, for me at least. It was all laggy and like, four advertisements came before it. Stupid MTV.

Gorth Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 (edited) Apparantly, Australia is part of the US then Looked like Unreal Tournament meets Starsiege Tribes.

alanschu Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Yeah, that's probably all they checked for. Well, maybe some places in Europe and whatnot, but since I don't live there, I don't know. Why check Australia? It's not like they have teh internets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really shows, that there has been no competition for Telstra. It's their terms or no terms... “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Meshugger Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Got the video to work for me though. Looks like the combat has become even more action-oriented.

angshuman Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 Did Bloodlines have auto-target-locking? From the video, ME seems to have auto-aiming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 (edited) Did Bloodlines have auto-target-locking? From the video, ME seems to have auto-aiming. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It'll probably (hopefully) be a toggle function, as I believe it was in Bloodlines. Or perhaps it's some kind of pseudo-free-aim lock and shoot deal. I just hope there are more weapons than just that shotgun. Time will tell. I didn't find Bloodlines' ranged combat system to be counterintuitive, my problem was that they had castrated it for 90% of the enemies. Like all Troika games, the combat was not balanced very well. Perhaps a limitation of the source material, but still, they could've given it some teeth. Edited November 16, 2006 by Pop Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!

mkreku Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 It works in Sweden. But DAMN that game looks crappy! I really hope that planet they were on was one of the most generic places in the entire game. It looked so dull and uninspired! The combat.. I have no idea how fun it is to play, but it sure looks boring to me. And stiff. And the physics looks insane. And the character models are unbelievably ugly. The whole thing reminded me of MDK2, if anyone remembers that old game, down to the unrealistically thin extremities on the models and the aim reticule on some of the weapons. All in all, an extremely unflattering video of a game that sounds too cool to be true.. on paper. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

Morgoth Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 That video was lame. And why did this huge machine-creature-thingy just stood there, awaiting teh blaster shots? It should move and bring the player to sweat. Combat looks not very challenging. Bio should either do a proper FPS or a proper tactical RPG combat system. I don't like combining RPGs with action combat, just look what happened with Kotor. Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I dunno, RPG and FPS elements can be combined to great effect. I think of Deus Ex. But this is a TPS, which is different. At this point, I'd count on the eventual death of "RPG tactical combat" relatively soon. The continuous-turn-based-with-pause systems are sucking, and they can't very well revert to full TB, with RPGs moving onto consoles more and more. They're going to try and find a way to make RT combat work, but I haven't seen any so far that can function without detracting from the RPG elements of the game.

DA is gonna have a tactical RPG combat system, and if done well, I'M gonna enjoy it. Deus Ex and Bloodlines were fine too, I just hate games based on a ruleset and then add this action-layer on it. Kotor was based on d20 Modern? So what? Nobody cared, you just clicked and watched. Looking at the ME video, it seems Bio makes the same failure again: Adding stats and skills and feats and whatever just for the sake that the so called RPG fans shut up, but then turning it into this unchallenging arcade-style shoot-em-up fest. As I said, I love good action, but then it should be done properly. Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
