...You don't care about the ambientation in a game? I feel it's what greatly defines the enjoyement of the atmosphere of a determined level, helping the player immerse himself more and consequently have more fun.

Well, sure, but there can be many different kinds of atmosphere. Saying "you like space levels" means you're not open to other types of things.

I don't have a single preference, which is what I believe the original poll was about.

I voted for other as well. I think the coolest idea sofar was the Duke levels with the flooded city - citylevels, but under water.

That was a great idea indeed, a good atmostphere.

I liked it.

But it's like Joe said, as long as the level has got an atmosphere that is fun (or scary

) to be in fitting for the game it's allright by me.

I don't know about a city but a power station near the Hoover Dam? Sure.

I don't suppose Meqon drastically updates 3DRealms with brand new features unless they're working to incorporate the Ageia stuff for their existing clients. That's unlikely but if they could only get that water flowing physics in for a dam rupture scenario, that level would rock! There was a time when such a thing was considered technically impossible.

What Joe is really saying is that he is frightened out of his mind that this is going to turn into another SPACE STATIONS thread.

I so love this idea

What? I like space levels and I'm open to other types of things.

Being neutral or indifferent is Joe's thing.

Waiter · 10-21-2005, 03:20 AM

I'm not as interested in wether a game has my favourite type of level. I think the most importatn thing in a game is the diversity of the levels. I get bored quite quickly when the whole game is played in a space ship or in a cave system or in a tight jungle.

Night Hacker · 10-22-2005, 02:53 AM

I chose OTHER, although I like City levels, I specifically like RUINED Cities, post war style with lots to explore.

Of course I enjoy ALL types of levels if they're done right, but I have always especially loved ruins for some reason.

Marty · 10-22-2005, 04:41 AM

cities... becuase in games like Duke with tons of interactivity. you dont have to leave the house to experience shooting hookers

dudetheman19 · 10-22-2005, 05:28 AM

I love cities!

Hopefully the cities will be a bit like it GTA, where there are random people running around. Cities can be boring if noone is in them :-(

The reason why I kinda dislike subways is that they are often like mazes. Hard to find ones way around and when you get lost there is nothing interesting to look at.

Well, Postal 2 would be more like it, because there were tons of people running around in that game, too, and that was an FPS. IMHO, Postal 2 is what DNF should have been like. Only, you have aliens mixed in, and they do attack on contact of seeing you. Yeah, here I go again, but with your mention of GTA, I thought that the Postal series would bring that to the FPS genre even more. And Duke is a desert dude as well as a city dude, and so is the Postal Dude, so there's a lot in common there, as well as the shades and the one-liners. There's no telling where that's probably gonna go. No, I'm not turning this into a P2 vs. DNF thread.

IMO Postle 2 sucked, and I hope DNF will be nothing like it. I think it will be more like GTA. Havent you seen the DNF2001 video - looks a bit like GTA in the streets.

It is already confirmed that the levels wont be as big or open ended as in GTA, however they might still be similar in other ways.

Imfamous · 10-22-2005, 11:12 AM

I like just plain fun, creative levels. Some of my favorites in Duke 3D were the canyon, subway station, and level with the submarine.

The reason I'm so blown away by Prey is because the levels look amazingly creative and fun.

That's also what I'd like :-) Levels with the same interactivity as GTA, just with more story relevance.

Zaarin · 10-22-2005, 06:46 PM

I want levels that make sence, if you have a stripclub, it should contain every aspect of real stripclup, not just the pole and bar.

dudetheman19 · 10-25-2005, 09:32 AM

For horror levels i prefer caves, what do you guys think? I dont think that subways are that interesting, they usually lack variation, while caves are easier to variate!
