Says they are planning to make a fast-paced freeroaming FPS, so you can pull off fast acrobatics and such with it. It looks slick, smooth, and sweet. Can't wait until it is farther in development. ------------------- Click to Enter the SIG OF WONDERS!

Says they are planning to make a fast-paced freeroaming FPS, so you can pull off fast acrobatics and such with it. It looks slick, smooth, and sweet. Can't wait until it is farther in development. From what I've heard, it doesn't sound free-roaming. Previews from magazines have lead me to believe that straying away from the bright colors tends to lead players to dead-ends, which would be bad while being chased by enemies. The game does look incredibly awesome though, especially if it's all like what's in that trailer. ------------------- [Princely Tamaki sig by Tater-kun] I'm in Seikazoku: Click for Details Drifter Elysium Last name given to him by Thanatos. Its meaning is as follows: "In Greek mythology, Elysium was a section of the Underworld. The Elysian fields, or sometimes Elysian plains, were the final resting place of the souls of the heroic and the virtuous. It is associated with the Christian Heaven." Real last name inherited from his parents: Aischylos (It means the following: Original Greek form of Latin Aeschylus, meaning "shame.") What he looks like: Cloaked Uncloaked As evidence of his rank as Shonshi of Chouhouin, Drifter wears a black, circular Kishou (Medal/Badge/Insignia, in this case a round band. Think a large, thick rubber band, except made of cloth and not so small) that hangs loosely around his neck. If he is in a bind and can’t afford the dangling Kishou to give him trouble, he will sometimes shift the band to fit around his waist. It appears to be just a useless fashion statement. Formal Title: Chouhouin Shonshi Age: 16 Personality: Due to his line of work (reaping), he usually keeps person information locked away from those around him. While not proud of it, he also has an annoying tendency to talk to himself as if someone else was listening. Other than that, he enjoys talking with people, and rarely talks down to anyone. Drifter also enjoys making jokes often, even when the occasion doesn't call for humor. He is easy to approach and probably won't be considered much of a threat by those he meets. Extra tidbits: Drifter is half-alive and half-dead. He is still able to feel pain and die, but he is not affected by the pangs of hunger and thirst. He is also immune to lures of the flesh. Drifter CAN eat to serve his desires to feel human, but it isn’t good for him to eat very much, as his digestive system is slower than normal in his half-dead half-alive state. Drifter has two companions, a blue butterfly and a red butterfly. Each has its own set of moves, and neither of them can use a move that belongs to the other. The blue butterfly is affectionately named Hypni in honor of Thanatos’ twin brother Hypnos. The red butterfly goes by the name of Apati, a reference to Thanatos’ sister named Apate, which translates to “Deception”. Ironically, both butterflies have a namesake belonging to an opposite gender of what they are. The bluish butterfly Hypni is often seen sitting atop Drifter’s shoulder, almost in a fond sort of way; on the other hand, the reddish butterfly Apati seems to avoid the reaper’s apprentice at all costs, preferring to land on others around him as if to make him jealous. These butterflies are protected by a god-like energy and cannot be destroyed. That does not mean, however, that they are completely impervious to the effects of enemy attacks; they can still be weakened to a fair degree and be forced to retreat. During their battles, the butterflies have received a few unfortunate aesthetic changes. Hypni's wings are littered with nicks and tears, and Apati's wings are randomly splotched with the dried blood of enemies past. Apati is also missing his right antenna. Thanatos can also order either of the butterflies around, though he often uses this merely for “reconnaissance”. Drifter vs Kon: Postponed Drifter vs Jet: Victory

Razzle Dazzle Sunshine Bean Group: Local Owner Posts: 11207 Joined: 20 March 2004	Lack of shading/shadows = clean look, which was their intention. It's a 1984-style dystopian city. I personally think it looks better than most games out now. It does something that it can do. Clean looks are easier to do, and they have the lighting down right. If you look at all the "dark" games nowadays, you'll notice that the light reflections off most of the materials are far too metallic looking. They try to cover it up with bloom, which just brings down the realism even further. (Biggest example, although this is old, is Doom 3.) That's one of the reasons why I think Half-Life 2 looks better than a lot of the games nowadays. It doesn't have all the latest effects, but the lighting reflection is good (and realistic). Also, their texture work is good, which not all companies put effort into (bad textures = ugly, no matter what). However, in the trailer, the train station scene as well as the one where you are hanging off of something are both ugly. Though, the texture of her pants is AMAZING (you need to get the HD version to see it). ------------------- { My past sets \| Sets I made for others }

Oh yeah, dystopian societies make for great settings in games.

And we all shine on... Group: Staff Posts: 4898 Joined: 23 April 2005	I understand its style and look, but lack of shading/shadows, in this case looks more like lack of polish. The way the body parts come into view, they look very poorly done. I guess I'd really need to see more content though. Going by that trailer it doesn't look like anything special. But yeah, Doom 3 is about 4 years old now using tech of course developed well before that and ID's own. I don't really understand this "metallic" you describe seen in well shaded/lighted games short of Doom 3. Farcry for example, is beautiful. Carmack does realism like M. Night Shyamalan does non fiction :S -------------------

Night Shyamalan does non fiction :S I think he means where the lighting makes a distinct line on the wall where it ends, though don't quote me on that. Probably wrong. I don't even really care if this game isn't the most realistic and has a stranger perspective, at least it's something new and different. It gets old playing games that don't even bother treading on new ground. There also seems to be shading in the video to me. ------------------- [Princely Tamaki sig by Tater-kun] I'm in Seikazoku: Click for Details Drifter Elysium Last name given to him by Thanatos.
