they should make 3 deus-ex movies. (3 because it would be ruined if it was crammed into 1)

i can see it now...

Games should stay as games. Just look at Super Mario Brothers.

(Sure, there was a wasteland but that's the only good thing about it.)

I just love stories with echelons of symbolism etched into the storyline. The recurring theme in Planescape: Torment was one of the best.

I got to play that game again. Been a while since I've defeated/merged with the Transcendent One.

hmm been playing Deus Ex again, for the fourth time I think, I keep finding new things...

I never knew there was a secret floor under jacobsons office, I never tried the mission to save smugglers friend, and meet the MJ12 for the first time, I never really bothered with the junkies and zyme and so forth. Fantastic game.

As for HL2, well... I don't expect the same geniusity from deus ex, or the long gameplay, and replayability, but rather a good one-shot gaming experience, and then some awesome mods.

I suppose you'll have to wait to use the public servers as I had to then the DL itself takes about 6-8 hours on DSL. The video though is a full 20:40sec long. DL it when you have plenty of time to stay online and go do something else maybe go to the movies then go out to eat.

You might be able to find faster DLs but this is a Gamespy exclusive and basically compiles all the other videos out there on the net.

Fuck Me I knew it was going to be good but not this good!

I think I creamed my pants while watching it, I don't know whats better sex or Halflife 2

Well thats a dumb thing to say, just because I name my site something does not mean its my name. What if I named it Jack Forst? Does that mean its my name? No.

So, getting back on topic.

Any word on Doom 3 and a physics engine?

Alphawulf · Post by **Alphawulf** » Sun Aug 10, 2003 3:29 am

I only heard Doom III looks good and will only support a 1v1 or 2 player co-op mode online (not sure on this). Where as Half-Life 2 will look not as good but damn good in my book, support a physics engine, and the Mods! Counter-Strike 2!

Ernesto · Post by **Ernesto** » Sun Aug 10, 2003 3:35 am

Yes, I've heard the same thing about Doom 3 when it comes to multiplayer. John Carmack will most likely create a free patch (Ala Deus Ex.) or a expansion pack. (ala Unreal 2, last I checked.)

There's no way Half Life 2 can screw up, with a game this big, Valve can't risk fucking up. (Pardon mon francais.)

Counterstike 2? Minh Le out of Vancouver must be thinking the same thing.

Rumour has it that Half Life 2's Multiplayer will be Team. Freaking. Fortress. 2.

Personally I've been waiting for Doom III so long that it's lost a lot of its apeal, but by no means all of it. Although I'm sure a week before it release all the anticipation will come flooding back.

I know that my PC won't run it, so unless I get a X-Box or upgrade, my demeanor will be quite calm.

Alphawulf · Post by **Alphawulf** » Sun Aug 10, 2003 4:18 am

Yah I think Half-Life 2 will be a much better game, and yay me and Mr. Green are no longer SDF!s

Ernesto · Post by **Ernesto** » Sun Aug 10, 2003 4:24 am

Hoorah!

Half Life 2 will be better in gameplay, Valve knew what they were doing in the first one.

I know this dude who played the illegal copy of the Doom 3 Alpha. He says that it's not so scary, and the AI is good. Then again, it is an Alpha version.

On the subject of FPSs, five bucks says Duke Nukem Forever will turn into Unreal.

Alphawulf · Post by **Alphawulf** » Sun Aug 10, 2003 4:28 am

I know of a person who played it too, they say its that screen of the dead guy in the bathroom. You walk in there and the Hell dog thing runs away so you go off and try to find it then the dead guy with his guts hanging out on the floor wakes up and takes a couple of swipes at you.

Duke Nukem Forever has switched graphics engines so many times they must have wasted about 2 million dollars on what are now Out-of-Date engines like The Quake 2 and Unreal engines.

Sounds like John Romano's ub3r-kool FPS.

Old graphic engines aren't that bad when they're modified a bit. Look at Elite Force 2, it looks sweet for Quake 3.
