starship troopers is a PERFECT concept for a FPS so i find
it a great idea doing a it now

unfortunately i haven't played the demo yet cause its too
big to download for me so i have to wait to get it from a
friend but i do hope its a good game cause we are in very
need for good FPSs...
since the beginning of the year the releases haven't been
that impressive
nevertheless and regardless of the demo i'll buy this game

i'm not a huge fan of the original starship troopers movie
but it is ok, now the sequel was HORRIBLE
but what i'm absolutely crazy about is the computer animated
series done some years ago called "roughnecks" which is so
fabulous a really masterpiece
a FPS with the visuals and graphics of "roughnecks" would be
the best ever game created

When did you change your mind about demos?

With blurbs by that well known game reviewer Casper Van Dien.
ROTFLMAO.

There was already a game based on this mediocre movie. We hardly
need a mediocre FPS based on a movie nearly a decade old.

(I'm going by the demo, which had average graphics, stuck to the
movie pretty much, horrible voice acting, repetitive gameplay, a
complete lack of any kind of players controlled squad AI which would
seem to be mandatory for a military shooter these days, and a complete
lack of AI soldier AI, they just stand in place and shoot.).

The last Starship Troopers game and the upcoming one are based on the book,
not the movie.

This does sound like a cool concept for an FPS. I'm downloading it at the
moment. Hopefully, I'll get to play it sometime this week.

You haven't played the demo have you.

It is just like the film, which is bad for me as it was one of the
worst films ever IMO.

No, I thought I read a preview that said it was based on the book. Why would
they base a game on an 8-year-old movie?

Hm, I love the movie.

Does it take about 150 rounds of ammo to kill every enemy, like the
silly ass movie?

Lets invade a planet and bring .22 pea shooters to attack!

Just download it and played it. Yuck. How did they manage to screw up the
camera on an FPS game. Everytime I moved the camera was sluggish and kept
jerking around. Thank steamkiller for providing the demo link for this game.
Now I know to avoid buying it. I might have being a Starship Trooper fan.

I see it playing on Starz all the time, yet I have never watched more than
15 minutes of it.

Wasn't the squad-based RTS game (with no in-game save) released a few years
back, based on the flick...right down to the box art? I do have some vague
memory of different types of armor in the game, but could be mistaken.
IMHO, the game that came closest to the book was "Terra Nova"....which some
of us still fondly remember.

I'd shell out $50 for a decent ST FPS based on the book. Nothing
like having some REAL weapons around in the future.

Different director, much smaller budget etc. It is like comparing
Terminator 3 to Terminator 2 or 1. Poor sequel does not make the
original bad.

ST movie appeared before 9/11, yet it depicted so well in every level
how America acts in such a crisis situation.

Depends which weapon you use. If you use the basic weapon with
unlimited ammo, yes it can take ages to shoot even one enemy down,
even though I noticed that sometimes they did go down quickly
depending where you shot even with the basic weapon.

If you use e.g. shotgun in close encounters, it takes only a few shots
to bring down a bug.

Here's a tip: Aim for the nerve stem and put it down for good.

Compared to the book, the movies are utter drek. The original
proposal wasn't even connected to ST, that was added later and other
than a few bits of eye candy and a bit of a rewrite to satirize the
book, there isn't really much to connect them.

Ive downloaded, installed and TRIED to play the Demo. It .. well .. 'runs'
isn't the proper word. It crawls, in slow motion. sound is full speed and
good, camera responds to the mouse just fine. Characters/action/shooting is
like molasses.
Running it on an X2 4800+ 2 gigs PC3200 in dual channel and 6800GT, XP Pro
SP2. I got the rig, but the game doesn't seem to believe it.

So what are your rigs specs? If a 64 bit cpu, that could be it... that
engine could have some problems with them.

Nah - 'just' an AMD XP2800 Barton here. Graphics, sounds etc are great -
movement/camera like through molasses - tried first part of demo and didn't
want to try the rest. Not on my buy list currently unless someone comes up
with a tweak so I can see how the game should be.

Rest of specs are NF7-S(2), 1.5GB PC3200 (running dual), 9800Pro, Audigy 2
ZS

I can't even get it to run. Gets to the point where it loads the level,
presents the Objects, then has a "Start mission" button towards the bottom
right. When I click that, it just freezes up.

AMD FX-53, ATI 800XT-PE, 2GB ram.
