But it will have outdated gameplay mechanics.

It doesn't do anything new.

[Madaz]

stalker will be good.

i think so also

Based on what?

That its been in development for 5 years?

using out dated technology?

Got Alpha demo!

look @ steam when the source code was 'stolen' it went back into development for 3 years

But it will have outdated gameplay mechanics.

It doesn't do anything new.

by the statement doesnt do anything new is just plain silly look @ the amount of people still playing quake games and ET they dont do anything new there built on solid game play of CTF and whatever ET's gameplay is capture and hold

i still have the Alpha demo it was solid and the movie that i saw of stalekr just then hosted @ GA still looks ok

but if you dont like it thats fine just dont buy it and start complaining how they should of done this and that

Finally got vista installed, but the funny thing is i didnt do anything different.

I had the first half on my 74gig raptor for xp, then the last half broken into 3 pieces - 15g for Ubuntu, 7gig a swap partition, then a free 7 gigs...

Installed vista on the last partition and it worked...

Basically doing not what they recommend to do - to have all the os's up the front of the partition blocks.

Once it was in (in the small 7 gig space) i had to delete the middle 2, and resize vista to take over....

Now ive got 30gig fer xp, and 30 for vista

[CleanGTS-t]

cool

Fraps is a sweet program - will make a 3rd MajorTangles BF2 fraps video soon (first 2 are linked in the sau games discussion section; 1st one didnt work out that well, 2nd one is funny IMO), will do it on shock paddle kills for say 50% and the other 50% would be footage of a variety of say a minimum of 4kill efforts.

[kralster]

Ok Madaz, that must mean that commodores and falcons are the best cos people keep buying them.

CSS is boring plain and simple. It was good 7 years ago, but i've since gotten bored of it and have been playing other games.

I'm sure stalker will be a confident game but it will offer nothing new to the genre, as has been the case for many years now. And there is nothing on the horizon that suggests that will change.

Gaming really has become boring since the playstation era.

Thats really a personal thing. I never got into ps much, but my friends had em, and i played em. TBH the only game i ever got into was gran turismo...

I need at least 2 or 3 games to play at the same time cos i get bored too easy..

I don't think it's a personal thing.

Gaming has lost all originality since the playstation era. Sure there have been a few new franchises but almost everything is a sequal.

[Whiplash]

personally i like RTS so consoles haven't swayed me away from the trusty pc.

and i like the racing sims and there are no good sims on console so pc all the way for me.

There really hasn't been many significant gameplay changes for a while now, but then again, do games need innovation to be fun? Have you picked up and played a Wii for any amount of time?

I've recently gotten back into RTS's with the release of Supreme Commander but I really don't see any major gameplay innovations for a sequel that was released 10 years after the original, it is still a lot of fun though!

[Pauly33GTS-t]

i still play c&c1 (c&c95) occasionally. I wish it was more tcp/ip multiplayer gaming friendly...

[kralster]

I just want more titles like Okami, Loco Roco, we love katamari, etc, etc.

I've been gaming for 18 years or so now and i just find it the same old thing.

I took the company PS3 home the other night, and it really wasn't all that interesting. It doesn't do anything that can't already be done.

And GT HD is shocking, it's the same as GT1 only with better graphics.

[Pauly33GTS-t]

kralster bullet into head coming your way .... GT never dies.

Unfortunatly old bastards like myself (gaming for 20 years +) and yourself have seen pretty much everything thats been around. Back to the old Atari 2600...

Nothing new in terms of genre of gaming has been released up until recently with the Wii and its wave your arms around like your being attacked by a swarm of bees type games....

If you find something u like rpg, fps, etc...its always "how could they make this better" type of thing not "what can we do that hasnt been done before...?"

[kralster]

GT HD is shocking,

forza 2 is coming along nicely and i believe will be a better game

[Pauly33GTS-t]

call me ignorant but i think the whole m$ and xbox thing is a piece of shit. I dont consider myself a fan of either of the "big two" in gaming consoles either. ps3 is more of a hard core console and I think its biggest titles and developments in features will be realised in the future when developers get used to its SDK environment. The new metal gear looks so cool.

[kralster]

All three consoles will have great titles, thats why i have about 20 different consoles.

Some games i can only get on certain platforms so it's not the manufacture that sways my gaming habbits, it's the games.

So as long as good games come out on ps3, 360, and wii i will continue to buy them.

[Tangles]

after owning an original ping pong machine in the late 70's, a Commodore 64 through the 80's, Pentium in the early 90's, Nintendo, Playstation and Playstation 2, plus a full deck Pentium now........... I dont think Id ever get back into a console machine for gaming, a good PC does it all in my opinion.

as far as games go, console games are too expensive. Only played two games in the past 18 months both of them being online games 1st was day of Defeat: Source for 3 months, plus 40mins only of Counter Strike: Source (hate it, what a terrible game full of free hacks), but the past 850hours of gaming Ive spent on Battlefield 2. What an awesome game, every round there is something 'different' to do or try out.
