Parabellum

[Odin]

Just saw the trailer, and I swear... it's amazing. The amount of detail and effects, and the pure physics is awesome, even for pre-alpha. When it was done I said "HOLY ****ING SHIT" out loud.

Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWVQPndBve0

(I apologize if there's a thread about this already, but I didn't see one)

[bert123]

Looks nice, I think I better keep an eye on this :)

[0marTheZealot]

Looks like every other FPS coming out soon. Generic weapons, generic setting, generic idea.

[Damien_Azreal]

^^^ Sortof what I thought. The graphics look nice, from what i coudl tell at such a small size.
But overall just looks like basic gunplay. Nothing really stood out.

[Amakou]

Didn't look that great to me...but I DID like the mushroom cloud explosion in the end....

~Amakou~

Seemed a lot like the one in the DNF E3'01 video, except with added wall-of-fog particle effects.

[Mr.Sociopath]

looks nice since it's a bit like fear in a way with more destruction..but a bit less effects I think..

[Tang Lung]

Why must we continue being given the same game every year just with new shader effects!

[Hudson]

Reminds me of a diet "Black"

... Using the Half-Life 1 engine

[alpha400]

who is using half-life1 engine...????? :confused:
...parabellum...??
...or black???

[Rider]

What I just saw:

1 level
the same scene a couple of times over
some interresting details and shootables
Nice particle effects
Pretty good explosions.

Everything else was "meh" and below... except the Nuke... that ruled. :)

[December Man]

The Nuke ruled.

Parabellum :p

[Daveman]

Yeah that looked like a UT2k4 mod with pretty explosions. Looks generic.

[Dogy]

100x better quality video:

And, it looks like it's running on UE3.

[Daveman]

The mapping looks quite good, but there are dozens of HL2 mods and other games coming out with the same setting that look more fun to play.

[NutWrench]

It looks ok for an alpha. The lighting was terrible but I'd expect them to be concentrating on gameplay at this point instead of eye candy. I'll wait until it's further along.

[Water12356]

Not bad for an alpha.

[IHerman]

And, it looks like it's running on UE3.Neh... UE3 looks better with shadows and lighting effect and stuff.

Also it's not in this list (http://www.unrealtechnology.com/html/powered/announced.shtml).

[Assault]

Good graphics, other than that, it looks like people with no sense of imagination and originality made it.

[Needle]

Recipe to make a FPS:
-500.000 marines from HL1
-1 Pistol, 1 shootgun, 1 assault rifle and 1 granade
-500 grey, square rooms filled with pipes and crates

Looks like FEAR without spooky-little-girl. It even has bullet time and that big explosion, complete with shockwave coming at the player.

[alpha400]

Neh... UE3 looks better with shadows and lighting effect and stuff.

Also it's not in this list (http://www.unrealtechnology.com/html/powered/announced.shtml).

ehh..., I also read somewhere that its on UE3, and hudson
is just trying to confuse me:p

[qwerty]

Also it's not in this list (http://www.unrealtechnology.com/html/powered/announced.shtml).

a lot of games are missing from that list:

robo blitz
rainbow six: vegas
stranglehold
gears of war
brothers in arms
interstellar marines
bioshock
elveon
ut2007
stargate worlds
huxley
mass effect
too human
Medal of Honor: Airborne
Dead Space
and more ...

[Denz]

Oh what's new in that game? The ragdoll aren't any better than HL2 i thought.

Ya, it was in this thread too last week- it is UE3 (read on):
http://www.gamingbits.com/content/view/987/2/

If you don't like any of the graphics in it, you probably won't like DNF- I think people are expecting too much 'cause of the wait (and a lack of screens etc. makes people's imaginations run wild).

Game looks cool for what it claims to be: a strategy type 1st person shooter. If you watch it more than once you notice the details more.

[X-Vector]

The mushroom explosion at the end is nice, the rest is pants - generic FPS gameplay, inspirationless setting, bland graphics and annoying UT rip-off music.

Perhaps the worst part is that it's not quite bad enough to become amusing a la Kreed, it's simply "please make this go away" bad.

[avatar_58]

You know whats wrong with it? Nothing seperates it from todays FPS. You need a few quirks and things that your game does first or better than the others. Nothing is new here, just a generic soldier shooting generic enemies in a generic environment. They need to throw something new into the mix or else I couldn't care less about it.

Where'd you get that list? It looks bettar.
I only knew GoW, BiA, Bio, Elveon and Ut2k7 were UE3. You must watch a lot of games. I'm surprised Mass Effect is UE3. I thought it might have been proprietary.

[Zixinus]

I have to aggre with 0marTheZealot here. The game looks like a ripoff of counter-strike with single-player and lots of fancy effects. Not on my list unless its free or I can borrow it.

[Mr Bear]

They're now taking applications for a closed beta....anyone applied?

Dead Space uses an EA- made engine, the one used in Godfather.

[Cleric]

If Dead Space was on UE3 Isaac would be bench pressing 450 pounds and all of the dark, lightless areas would be replaced with excessive bloom to blind the player.

"Coming in 2007". Ha! Looks like they've missed that deadline. I knew this video looked familiar, I saw it about a year or so ago. I might consider it during a dry period when there aren't any decent games coming out.

Lol, now that's nice one.:love:
