Ok, Maybe I'm pathetic and have no life. But I just got chills watching the
new trailer. Obviously they showed all the blowing up bits again, but there
was a little shot towards the end of what looks like LC working on some
kinda neat door puzzle. And as an aside, I like the music in the trailer ;0)

GOTTA pop outta the shadows long enough to say that the new trailer
looks like a blast! I wonder if they took a page from PoP in the
fighting style? judging by the way she rebounded off that rockface I'd
say they did.

I didn't like PoP:WW right away, but once I picked up the key combo's
and created a fighting style......I haven't played a better game! I
*really* hope they did nab a few of those ideas!

The fan site is just a load of graphics, sounds, fonts etc. that are from
the TR site etc. so fan sites are easier to construct on the graphics side.

It does look pretty good I must say, however the music I was not so much a
fan of - I prefer the more ambient style of previous games where the
graphics and in-game experience made the somewhat basic but none the less
effective music come alive. The background music on the TR site is a good
example of this.

Puzzle wise, I saw more shooting than I did puzzle solving, but yes, I see
what you mean; sort of like a 3 cog setup with different ordering etc.
almost reminded me of a similar puzzle near the beginning of TR1 with cogs
all having to fit together to divert the water.

Did anyone else notice that neat move as she was traversing around a pillar?
Vaulting upwards from hanging on a ledge to finish hanging on the ledge
above? That is a fab additional move; previously you could drop down cracks
but never get back up unless there was a ladder next to them.

I saw that! There were some other climbing and shimmy around moves
shown too, but that one was tops. Whoa man, she's BAD! I notice also
she's fond of swinging round horizontal poles, like a gymnast on the
uneven bars. No less than three shots of that one in this trailer. I
too think they seem to be focusing more on the action than the exploring
aspect. At least in the trailers. So they could have shown her making
a full classic signature Swan Dive. The animations look good, but the
model itself.... I sure hope the game has scalable Level Of Detail (LOD
henceforth) and we are viewing game demo-ing from unoptimised unpolished
engine and level and models \ Lara is looking particularly LOW poly
in this. And I mean on the order of Unreal Tournament grade models.

I don't think the music in the trailer will actually be used in the game.
The trailer really seemed to be cut like a movie trailer, hence the crazy
music and the rocket launcher........;0)

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
I couldn't stand those games. The repitition was...not good. At all. I'm not
going into it, but I will be frustrated and I'm sure many others will be if
they go anyway near that engine!

grrrr!

Yeah but.
Ok I'm not one for combat, though. I really like a game because of its story
and characters and puzzle-ish gameplay. That's why I liked Oni and why I
like TR. Sure killing naughty dudes is fun, but I'd rather it be a cakewalk
and the puzzles to be hard or the story to be interesting and complex.
FPSs for instance...I only play the ones that look to have good stories -
like Doom3, Half-Life etc.
And I'll play them with God mode enabled - because I only want to play them
for the storyline.
I'm looking forward to Quake 4 for the same reason.

So yeah, as you said, when it comes down to us we're a very varied lot!

Then I whole-heartedly suggest NOLF (No One Lives Forever) ... and, yes,
I know it is *old* by today's standards! If you want better graphics
you can get NOLF2, but if you ask me, NOLF is a better game.

Yes, its an FPS, but its a *strategy* game. You go in whole-hog,
shooting everything you see, and you'll either be dead in minutes or
you'll be disqualified from some (stealth) levels.

It's very linear, but its definitely built around a solid storyline (FOX
produced it). And, quite frankly, the whole game is *hoot*. Its
premised on a very '60s spy theme ... or more accurately, a '60s spy
*movie* theme.

If you take your time and move cautiously, you are rewarded by
overhearing the strangest conversations out of the "bad" guys. Some of
it so entertaining, you almost regret having to kill them.

Sample Dialog ...

"It's not easy being a criminal, you know?"

"Its so hard to put things on colored walls."

"I wish I could get a promotion, so I could feel special."

"Excuse me, but could I borrow your parachute?"

Criminal 1: "You're an idiot! Who hired you?"
Criminal 2: "Uh, you did sir."

Sample Weapons:

Exploding lipstick
Briefcase rocket launcher
Sleeping Gas perfume

Sample Equipment:

Coin
"zip" cord belt buckle
dead body dissolver

I'm sure you could pick it up on the cheap ...

advert over.

That's interesting. I bought Homeworld because of the music in the demo
on the Half-Life cd it installed. I tried the demo, found that a
competitive space combat strategy game actually has an interesting
STORY. I still don't know the full story though, I didn't find any
cheats to let me just see all the fmv's Gave it to my son. Sigh.

Ok, have you played Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butchers Bay
yet? Now there's a story I bought this game JUST to get more
filler for the "Saga of Riddick" as I fondly refer to the whole
'Riddick' shebang

ok ok! I actually remember hearing about and being sort of interested in
this game back when it came out...I think a lot of TR people were playing it
as well or something.

But after your little spiel, I'm gonna have to give it a try!

Cream while at the petting zoo looking at all the cute little rabbits!!!

Heh.......yeah, I was thinking along the lines of bunnies, sunshine,
smiles WHILE EATING ice cream.

Blech. Eating bunnies.

My fourth grade teacher had our year end at his house and served
'chicken.' I still think that was a cruel, cruel trick! Especially
since all the kids were at the rabbit hutch laughing and playing with
the bunnies.......only to go and snack on their abducted family members
minutes later!!

Eating bunnies. That's right up there with haggas and black pudding!

Yeah, but bunnies don't constitute meat in my opinion. It's like cats
or dogs......somewhere, someone is serving up a plate of cat. YUCK!
That just sounds nasty.

I've eaten snake, tarantula, even roasted insects.....but for some
reason bunnies just don't equal food. I'll stick with buffalo, pork and
chicken for my staples, thanks.

I understand. Chicken and fish are my fave staples. And lots of
veggies. I've learned equine flesh is consumed in many places outside
the US. I feel that's a real tragedy. Horses. They're a simpler folk
than us, but to us around here, they are a folk. They work for us, they
earn their keep, we often bond with them as with a dog. And I for one
will not eat their flesh. So I understand how you feel.
McG.

My bro fell in love with that game, and its sequel.

Are you sure about the FMVs? From memory it uses Bink video (the same as the
original TRs) so I would assume the FMVs would also be directly
available...strange. How very very strange.

What about finding a 'beat level' cheat, so you can just skip through all
the gameplay?

I'll try it again sometime. At the moment, I have a lot of other
gameplay going on. And definitely anticipating Legend and also
Oblivion.

Ugh no...I don't think I could stand the FPS part of it.
I'm happy with the Anime and the Movies.
In fact, I much preferred it when Pitch Black was just a little-known niche
movie that gave me a warm glow because a) Vin Diesel is, well...he's just
hot and b) it was made in Australia with all these low-grade Aussie
actors...teehee.

Claudia Black is a low-grade Aussie actor? C'mon, where YOU been?! Even
getting torn in two she looked great!

The game Riddick: EFBB has a lot of the backstory to Pitch Black. I'm
kinda collecting what's becoming the "Riddick Saga". Looks like I'll be
a while at this game.
Riddick is an anti-hero that's kinda easy to identify with. At the end
of the movie, Chronicles of Riddick, he is now the new Lord Marshall.
Come on sequel!
McG.
