they are target renders

why did they even bother with multiplayer? stalker has enough single player to stand alone on...throwing in a crappy multiplayer mode just seems like a stupid idea

this game is pretty fun and really challenging...great buy for $10

any word if it uses the spore drm?

a batman mmo would be pretty badass though

that mod looks incredible...it's been so long since I've downloaded a mod...most of them aren't worth the bandwidth it's carried over...but this...just looks amazing

The Deus Ex 3 engine with BioShock like graphics? That would be impressive, if it were a true Deus Ex 1 successor.

it's using whatever engine the next tomb raider game is using so it should be "ok" at minimum

I think I remember reading that the story is going to be a prequel...which I'm not too crazy about but could be interesting...(play as paul maybe?)

also here's a peice of concept art that looks pretty cool:

cut down trees to save some plastic?

I will never download another game from ea link in my life...I bought one of the bf2142 booster packs on it...only to try and redownload it a year later and see that my game has "expired"...

what a horrible piece of shit that thing is...I'm not really an ea hater but whoever is in charge of that should look at every other digital distribution platform and realize what they're doing wrong...it's just a terrible experience and I wish they would realize it sucks and do the world a favor by pulling the plug on it...

as for spore...I'll wait for reviews...I'm pretty sure it'll be fun but I'm not really sure how long that fun will last...I just have this feeling that it'll be awesome initially but I'll never play it after those first few hours

No. Fuck them for lying by saying that the game is out already.

who cares? regardless if he said that one sentence or not it wouldn't change the fact that it's still in closed beta

What a load of Bullshit, why the fuck would I go and make an "extra" effort to Beta test a game.

Fuck you DICE and EA.

yeah fuck them for giving out free early access to a free game...

quake 3 is awesome because it's just a pure game...there's nothing that makes you feel cheated...if you lose it's because you weren't good enough...the game just didn't decide to throw a bunch of critical hits at bad times...nor did you lose because of some random grenade that bounced off 8 surfaces and landed next to you...you lost because the other guy was able to outplay you...it's just so straight forward and basic it's almost refreshing to play despite nothing changing since the original quake...

agreed...I can always go for some more ratchet and clank...this series is one of the few I'll always buy without reading a single review

also I thought the too human demo was pretty fun...though I'll probably rent it

well I can tell that post had a lot of thought put into it

I thought that said carmageddon

I really don't see how anyone who played the Quake games could "move on" to a console.

I haven't exactly moved on (pc is still my favorite) but when I played quake 3 I owned zero consoles...now I own all 3...part of that being fps games (and all genres in general) has significantly improved since then with online play...matchmaking...voip...etc...while pcs have done this for years before it's never been integrated so well like in xbl and to a lesser extent psn


Five million? For a slightly modified version of Q3? Yeah, I don't think that's going to happen.

I don't see why that number is out of the realm of possibility...considering flash games can get millions of hits it's not too far fetched to have 5 million registered players for free quake 3 with matchmaking


Um, significantly? 60 fps is much, much better than 30 fps. Hell, for an online shooter, 60 fps is the minimum framerate you should have.

while I agree 60hz is optimal...it depends on the game...some games won't make that big of a difference...with that said we don't know how doom 4 plays...if the speed and movement is the same as doom 3 then I bet it won't be that big of a deal...however for quake wars 30hz really was a distraction...looked too choppy...

and yet rage is probably the best looking game I've ever seen in my life...I don't think they're fighting advances...it's just there's no huge reason to develop for dx10...he said it himself...if you look at steam hardware numbers dx10 adoption is not very good...

stalker looks great because it's subtle things they've added...god rays...volumetric particles and so on...while on the other side rage looks like a classic id game...it beats you over the head with how awesome it looks

of course it doesn't but it still uses megatextures

yeah because there's a ton of post-apocalypic games out there...we need more ww2 or present-time military games!

it may disrupt player balance (maybe? I'm not sure how a baseball mmo works) but as a business decision I don't doubt that they'll make some cash off of this for sure...assuming the game is fun
