Re: Ancestral Tales Campaign!

Just completed the campaign; 'twas excellent! Great work. Enjoyed the story and all the different characters. The environments are really well done. Hope you make something sweet for Overgrowth as well! I have a few complaints; a few of the levels were a bit too hard (too many wolves, platforming + ...

Re: Can you Imagine DMM technology in Overgrowth?

Eh. The technology is impressive, but not really necessary for Overgrowth. It's probably fairly demanding processor-wise. You can have fun physics interaction without it. But it is fairly cool in Star Wars: Unleashed, as far as I've seen (I've only played the demo). I saw on the Pixelux site that &q...

Re: Games with good writing

I love the MGS series, but yeah... the story is pretty convoluted. There are definitively some good moments in there though. I do like the somewhat self-contained story of Big Boss' struggle in MGS3. The ending is actually quite sad (in a good way!). Wait, didn't anyone mention Portal? GlaDOS' dialo...

Re: Games with good writing

I love Shadow of the Colossus (Can't wait for The Last Guardian!), but I don't think "good writing" is what makes it exceptional. It does tell a story, maybe several, in a very understated way, using the environment -- it's more about the atmosphere and emotional impact... Tycho of Penny A...

Uhm, yeah, that's going to be in the game. ;P
And I think the team has talked about co-op as a feature they'd like to add.

Re: all the things i hate

if multiplayer is produced then i WILL end up hating all the people who will just spam counters unless wolfire finds some way to fix this upcoming suckage Uhm... That's not really an issue, you'll have to time it correctly in order to perform a counter/reversal anyway. I doubt you'll be able to 'sp...

Re: Games with interesting Stealth Mechanics

wait a second that reminds me of something - there was another game that did that... I think :? Messiah , maybe? In that game you control an angel who can possess people and creatures to get them to do his bidding. I've only played the demo, but it seemed like a fun game. Abe's Odyssey & Exodou...

Re: Combat: how long will it take to kill as basic enemy?

It'll probably be like in Lugaru; it'll vary. You can kill enemies quickly and brutally, but sometimes fights last longer.

Re: Combat Suggestion

You can actually dodge by pressing attack + back, Turner will do a handspring and back away from the enemy. I don't really have the problem you mention, but I can see how it can be annoying. It has happened, but I just revise my tactics. (Use more flips and wallkicks, split the enemies up and deal w...

Re: New users, please report here

Yeah, the alphas have been great so far. Really liking the editor, very easy and enjoyable to use. Haven't really made anything worth sharing yet, though. Perhaps later. I have gotten some bugs and such- I usually don't make a fuss, most of the time they're fixed already in the next alpha. I guess I...

Re: On epic.

They should allow you do something different than just punch, punch, low kick, You do have different CQC techniques, but the game isn't very good at telling you about them, I guess. If you are carrying a two-handed weapon, like the M4 Custom, then if you press R1 Snake will push the enemy away with...

Re: Unofficial, alpha 24 weekly build

Lookin' good! I didn't get the sound bug Jo mentioned. I have experienced the problem with shortcut buttons not working and such, but I didn't have that problem in this alpha. The ragdolls are kewl, and I like how Rabbot 2# follows you around. The punching is also very enjoyable, great sounds and se...
