Istima Loke Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I 've been playing Psychonauts almost non-stop for more that 12 hours. Maybe I should take a break. Though this game turns to be far more entertaining than what I ever expected. I think therefore I am? Could be! Or is it really someone else Who only thinks he's me?

Bokishi Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 FEAR single player and FEAR world editor. I suck in multiplayer though. :sad: I wonder how Project Origin will turn out.... They're using the exact same engine, it looks like another expansion Current 3DMark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tale Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 (edited) They're using the exact same engine, it looks like another expansion They have an in-house engine that they upgrade as they go along. It's the same engine used for Condemned that will be used for Condemned 2. Anyway, Uncharted is completed. Very good game. I'm hearing Ratchet & Clank Future is just as good, so I'll give that a shot next. Edited December 30, 2007 by Tale "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

They're using the exact same engine, it looks like another expansion How would you know? Sure, the rendering engine is still DX9/10, so I wouldn't expect huge leaps forward there.... I don't think Monolith would be as dumb as Crytek to put everything on the rendering features just to alienate a huge fanbase due to monster hardware requirements. I expect that they upgrade the more important gamplay-related systems first...like physics, AI, particle FX, animations etc.... that's where FEAR had it's strengths, and that's where I want to see PO flexing it's muscles again. Btw, these screenshots look very good to me. And considering the game is prolly still a half year or longer away, things might still change a bit. Long live Monolith!!!!

Hell Kitty Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Project Origin might not be the graphical leap that Crysis was to Far Cry, or HL2 to HL, but all the screens I've seen do look like an improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveThaiBinh Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Holy crap, I got bored of Project Origin just by looking at those dull screenshots They look so sanitised - all straight lines and geometric shapes and greys and none of it looks lived in or used at all. I think 'it's a military base and/or research facility' is getting a little old as an excuse for why this doesn't look like a place that has ever been used or visited by people. This is why I liked the graphics of The Witcher so much. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I liked the graphics of The Witcher so much. Would you expect playing it in greenish highlands with garish rabbits hopping around? I think the look is perfectly fine for that kind of experience (and environments). I like the strong shapes and the overall low-saturated colors. Too many games these days are too oversaturated and colorful, like Bioshock.... gruesome. Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgoth Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 monolith, I want NOLF 3 now. Thanks Agreed. Although I doubt it would be named "Nolf 3", since Monolith only owns the content, not the name. Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shryke Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 boredom lately has driven me to playing Diablo 2 playing as a Holy Shock Paladin and just about to go kick Big D's butt Andariel, Duriel, and Mephisto were all ridiculously easy when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!

Starwars Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Finished Call of Duty 4 today. I had heard it's short before I started it, but the ending still caught me by surprise to tell the truth. Certainly a well made game though, the best missions were when they really released all mayhem. Not sure what I'm gonna play now.

Sand Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Yeah, but Witcher is too limited.

jaguars4ever Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 That's true, but limitation can sometimes be a good thing when it helps create a tighter story like it did in Witcher and PS:T. The ironic thing is, despite The Witcher and PS:T having world-class storylines, they both used the cliche amnesiac protagonist plot device. Go figure. Also: ^That's the first time I've ever used that guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sand Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 PS:T was fine in its day but I expect more out of games today. In today's games of 3D modeling looking as good as it does I don't want to spend 20, 30, 40 plus hours looking at a guy. Maybe that's just me.

jaguars4ever Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 @BoK: Only in the sense that they're RPGs. @Hades: I thoroughly recommend that you get it if you're willing to suspend your disbelief with regards to the amnesia. It has the subtlety and moral ambiguity that MotB lacks, and lacks the genericism and MacGuffin based plot that ME has. Definitely RPG of the year for me. I'd give ME: 85%, MotB: 90%, & Witcher 95%.
