Llyranor Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Thanks! Nothing too new. I think some of the special abilities described are new. Anyhow. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 The description of the beginning of the game is rather new. Also there are a few new pics that show Thorton with a different face than the default we've seen. Given the relative unsexiness of it (asian guy with thick glasses) I'm assuming it's the first disguise we'll have seen. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!

Gfted1 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Holy crap Thorton is loaded for bear in that first picture. Two heavy machine guns on his back, an SMG on his hip (which we know come in two's so there must be one on the other hip) and a pistol!

Slowtrain Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 How many guns can one man carry? ANswer: lots. lol. He looks like a porcupine with all those quills sticking out. 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.

Matthew Rorie Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 How many guns can one man carry? ANswer: lots. lol. He looks like a porcupine with all those quills sticking out. Yeah, his carrying capacity has been reduced to two weapons (counting SMGs as one weapon). So he shouldn't look quite so crazy in future shots.

fastpunk Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I'm curious how the action part feels, but the guy who wrote the article doesn't have an opinion on the matter, or so it seems. Anyway, I liked the perks/achievements idea, I hope Obsidian will include a healthy number of them. It might be fun to discover these perks by experimenting with different tactics and weapons. What I'm worried about is the character system and how it relays the feeling of character growth throughout the game. Thorton seemed pretty powerful right from the get go, at least that's what the preview suggested. I really hope AP doesn't turn out to be a cakewalk or something. Btw, has there been any word about the existence of a difficulty setting? Also, the screens included with the preview look interesting, it's a shame higher res versions are not avaulable though. Anyway, I'm pretty excited about AP, can't wait to play it. :D "We do not quit playing because we grow old, we grow old because we quit playing." - Oliver Wendell Holmes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llyranor Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 (edited) Well, it probably plays likes a 3rd-person shooter using UE3. The game doesn't base its core shooting mechanics on RPG stats or whatever nonsense, instead using the RPG elements to add to that base.

Well there is a certain cool to his terminator-esque appearance. But yes, probably a good call on the teams part to tone it down a bit.

Llyranor Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Except it doesn't, since aiming is the same regardless of how many points you have in your gun skills. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
