Smilee Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 The Specialists Extremely fun hl mod that incorporates matrix-like physics into gameplay. You can do stunts that can help you get out of trouble. One of the most interesting things about this game is the ability to slow time down during gameplay. When time slows you can see bullet trails glide past you as you frantically try to shoot down your opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daeval Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 (edited) Gran Turismo 4 GT3 was the only non-combat, realistically-oriented racing game I've ever really liked, so I had to try GT4. (I never played 1 or 2) I didn't like that they didn't start you with enough for a new car - you pretty much have to start used. I guess that kind of gives you more options though. I thought it was neat that you could import the A and B licences and up to 100,000 credits from a GT3 save. That gave me enough to start with a new car. The interface is very smooth looking, but a little more clunky to navigate than GT3s. Things are spread around the "map" more, which made for more time spent on the map menu and more load times. Browsing for a new car means searching in probably at least 10 different places, and several sub categories within each. That's a lot of load time - having them all in one place in GT3 was a lot easier. And tuning your car must now be done at a dealer, so you have to locate and open the country, then the manufacturer, then the tune shop - instead of just the tune shop in GT3. Car stats are tougher to get to as well. The stat sheet in 3 was awesome, but now a lot of stuff is missing - power to weight ratio being the stat I miss the most. Gameplay is still as good as ever though, and there are a LOT of cars to play with. Edited February 24, 2005 by Daeval Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HP and Weight are both given, but no pre-calculated P/W. It's possible that I just don't know where to look. Another minor thing - When you're buying upgrades, the description scrolls along the bottom of the screen in text that is kind of hard to read on my screen. I would have much preffered a text box of some sort that didn't freaking scroll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daeval Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Aliens Vs. Predator 2 The Marine campaign makes me nervous and paranoid.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> I flocking loved part 1. The differences between the three sides gave each the perfect feeling - and yes the marine campaign was very paranoia inducing. Is part 2 as good?

The differences between the three sides gave each the perfect feeling - and yes the marine campaign was very paranoia inducing. Is part 2 as good?Yes, maybe even better and it looks lovely, even though it runs on Lithtech. That god damn motion radar flocks things up even more paranoia-wise, since it reacts to every moving object, including shattered glass and whatnot. The thing about aliens that really scares me in the game is the fact that they are so damn fast; when I was playing Part 1 with a friend, we saw this one lone alien at the other end of a long corridor... *swoosh* 1.5 seconds later it's right in front of the marine's face. Talk about having heart attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryph Posted February 24, 2005 Author Share Posted February 24, 2005 AvP2 is one of the scariest games I've ever played. Atleast the marine campaign. I reinstalled System Shock 2 last night. It took flocking forever since the CD was scratched to hell so I had to take it out and wipe it off a whole bunch of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 good tip for scratched cds. spray em with furniture polish then wipe em down. the polish fills the minor scratches.and it's quicker then toothpaste buffing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
