Let this be a hint to Brat...having your own artists do voices DOES NOT WORK. Besides the bad sound effects (the alien fighters sound like a flanged distorted wind sample) BAD VOICE ACTING TAKES EVERYTHING DOWN 5 NOTCHES JUST BY ITSELF. HIRE SOME PROFESSIONALS.

The CDV website still says Breed is being released in November

And it has to be said that the intro for the Breedgame website has more interesting gameplay than the feckin demo

I was about to write about everything that annoyed me about this demo - however CableGuy has said it all already. Well done

How to make your demo fantatistic TO THE MAX:

1. Start with horrible, hackneyed narration.
2. Switch to a "general" who sounds like he has throat cancer and looks like he's stuck in a can.
3. Make your first combat situation a sluggish landing craft versus a squadron of fast jets.
4. Offer multiple viewing cameras besides first-person, such as "under your feet cam" and "useless isometric 3/4 chase cam"
5. Offer the ability to see four miles of map in any direction, but only see enemies within 20 feet.
6. Make it so that running in the 10-foot gap between mines kills you anyways.
7. Introduce a female Marine so smart, she wears heavy armor everywhere except for her bared breasts.
8. Let the player drive an alien tank that can't hit targets accurately until they're under your treads.
9. Start the demo with 45 seconds of unskippable promo ads, and start the game with 2 minutes of terribly-edited cut scenes.
10. Take out two #2 pencils (sharpened). Jam them into your eyes, then slam your face on a desk. Repeat.

Halo killer? This game couldn't eat the peanuts out of the Master Chief's manly turds.

Because the morons at brat tried their hardest to make this one suck even more?

How about a reason why we should try this one if the first one sucked?

these are the main guys who did the original turok and whilst that wasn't the best fps ever you'd have throught that some lessons might have been learnt. my 90yr old grandmother can program better than these losers, hell, shes on a ventilator these days and her voice acting would be more convincing!

shame on you bratt designs! give up now and get down to your local burger king i hear they are hiring

I fully agree with #1...

for example, right after landing the spacecraft i was hit by grenades and died almost instantly... i could only resume from the very beginning and i didn't find a way to skip cutscenes... yes voiceacting is the worst ever.

oh no.. say it aint true..
i want this game to be great.
damnit.. just damnit. i hope u guys are wrong

Hmmmm. It's such a shame to see an obviously talented group like Brat thrash and churn broken code for years on end.

I'd say they should strip the Mercury engine and sell it for parts, then move on to something more productive; mark the whole thing up to experience and get the heck on with their lives.

Breed is just a mess.

"A graphic engine doesn't mean a damn thing if it doesn't have a great sound engine to back it up."

So so true.

Next Tuesday.

When the hell are developers going to learn that sound is a part of immersion too. I'm sick of games with lackluster, uninspiring sound effects. Miniguns and assault rifles do not sound like repeating pea shooters. Explosions are a lot louder than the sound of a cat landing on a carpeted floor. Jet engines are not as quiet as a brand new 4 cylinder engine. And wherever you go, except maybe if you lock yourself in a 3 foot thick lead box, there is ambient sound to be heard.

A graphic engine doesn't mean a damn thing if it doesn't have a great sound engine to back it up.

To paraphrase Dubya...

Fuck that I'm not gonna get fooled twice.

I remember that a YEAR ago they were already delaying the demo...

I think it was funny in a sick sort of way.. lots of riff raff around these days though.. heh

Very, very disturbing.

As my bathroom wallows gnawed at my underside, I realized the synchronious and bizarre unison with the game Breed itself. My very bowels were being coaxed into the daylight by the sweet siren that is Breed.

If wine is the nectar of the gods, than surely breed is the muse of the colon.

Sinner's saint, you need to get out more often.

When I initially loaded the Breed Demo on my computer, in nervous anticipation I could feel a turtle head trying to slink its way past my ever possessive posterior. Immediately I felt the urge to release myself into the nearest procelain recepticle, however I was so mystified by Breed that I held myself together.

whoever designed the aliens should be shot, imho looks way weird and unsatisfying to kill, atleast in Halo you wanted to make them shut up, in breed their just blah
