Title: The Second Coming of Tyrian is on it's way...
Post by: Hollewanderer on January 17, 2005, 03:30:03 pm
...you know how I feel right now.
Today, I have learned that Tyrian 2 has been annouced. As in, the sequel to Tyrian. One of the best games that I have ever played, and I played many. My personal favorite. And now, there is a sequel begin made, with most of the features that I absolutely love in shooters, and in 3D, too.
I hoped so much for it for many years. And now, the dreams came true. Tyrian's creator is also doing quality control, so it should be as good as expected.
So, knowing that some here played Tyrian and liked it, I have decided to share this information.

BTW, if you didn't play Tyrian, go to HOTU and download it. It was made free for download by it's creator recently.

Do not torment people with that which should not be mentioned... for a minute there I reverted to my uber fanboi form:

"OMG FS3 FS3 FS3..."

:(

You know, I guessed that it would be painfully obvious that I, a blatant lurker, wouldn't have inside information regarding newly annouced FS3 first, especially with such a thread title.:p
However, it catches the eye, and is a very accurate comparision regarding my emotions on the subject.
Rictor, here's the link to the site with it the info:
http://members.iinet.net.au/~vannevar/tyrian/
It's the largest currently active Tyrian fansite, and so far it has been accurate.
Unfortunately, it was just announced - no screenies yet.

I hate to piss on your fire, but I felt like that when DX2 was announced. And when I watched the trailer. Right up until I played the actual game, in fact. God damn you, Ion Storm :sigh:

I believe this calls for him to be tied to a tree naked... in the gay district.

People here sure are touchy, aren't they?:p A perfect emotion comparision, as I said.:p
Diamondgeezer, I considered such a possibility, but when the original creator does quality control, I have hope.

Well, yes, some people get... ideas later in their life. Strange ideas. Possibly related to Cthulu.
However, there are games like Half-Life 2, Freespace 2, etc, etc, who have the same people in charge and still manage to be even better than original in terms of gameplay. So, the optimist in me, so fearlessly supressed during my life, surfaces in this case.

I'd feel the same way I did when all that Derek **** stuff came up.

I liked Tyrian, but the story made no sense. Like one part where you were told to inspect shipments or something at a certain place, but then you go somewhere completely different without giving a reason. That was weird...

I think Tyrian 2 sounds pretty neat.

If Freespace 3 were ever announced, I'd email the staff of the Source Code Project and congradulate them on a job well done because that's the ONLY way it's gonna freakin' happen.

I'm telling you, after seeing some of the things being cranked out by people right here (Babylon Project which is an unbelievable masterpiece, Blaise Russel's update of "Derelict", the Inferno mod-campaigns, etc), FS3 just isn't that much of a deal to me anymore.


Well, beyond all that Bosch/Capella crap.

At least Volition didn't blow it by coupling their brainchild with the Jessica Simpson of anti-piracy/web distribution programs.  Said program shall not even be mentioned by name in this post.

And this has... what to do with thread subject?:p

Reading opening posts helps!:p The title is a comparision of likely community's feelings on that matter to my feelings on the matter actually mentioned in the thread.:p It's called subtlety.:p

To satisfy the uncautious minds, I have edited half the title of the thread. Be happy!:p
