Well Tribes 3 is supposed to be highly anticipated as well since they are using a new type of bump map surfacing or something like that which is really supposed to be something really new. The idea was also used in Half Life 2 but they might take it a step further.

I'd say probably Half Life 2 (think Doom 3 looks like it'll be a bit samey.... constant dull and dark environments aren;t my thing), but in all honesty i'm more interested in the next Pro Evolution and GTA games on the Ps2.

What about Doom 3? Nobody has seen the trailer?
I rather prefer Doom 3, because Id's shooters impressed me better than HL. Half-Life had a good story, but the difficulty was a bit exegenerated.

Incase anyone is interested, the Lionheart demo has just come out.

The best link right now is Worthplaying (Mirror 1) since most of the other places are either overcrowded or slow. I'm getting over 200kb/s on the first WP mirror (the second one links to Filefront, and its 100% busy)

Lionheart is an alternate history RPG made by Reflexive and produced by Black Isle. It basically takes 14th century Europe and adds magical elements via a powerful magical event that happened several centuries earlier during the Crusades, called the Disjunction. AFAIK it uses a rule system similar to Fallout.

Just doing my part:thepimp: :thepimp:

In other words... Half-Life is harder than most Id shooters?

This statement is so far off into bizarro land that I don't even know how to respond.

Doesn't that pretty much describe all generic fantasy RPGs?

w00t, if it has bump mapping, it sure is to be anticipated ( sorry, was an easy one

)

I tried the Doom 3 alpha and it seemed pretty good, the dull and dark environments actually created quite an eerie atmosphere when I played it and the game was quite scary on the whole for me. If it could keep that up all the way through I think Doom 3 might be as special as HL2. Not that I'm not looking forward to that. I'm keeping a personal blackout on HL2 information in the hope that it's going to completely floor me with how good it is.

I've already ordered HW2, so I guess that answers that...

Unknown Target · **Reply #28 on:** July 28, 2003, 06:07:16 pm

Tribes 2 was merely OK. All the teamwork that they bragged about simply wasn't there

Rampage · **Reply #29 on:** July 28, 2003, 08:53:27 pm

Half Life 2 - I had the pleasure of being in HL and every singleplayer expansion pack. It was pretty cool. Well... Not on this computer. Maybe with a newer one...

Tribes 2 - Never really got into multiplayer...

Thief 3 - I had the pleasure of beating Constantine's demonic butt in "The Dark Project", but never had the pleasure of entering the world of Thief 2 [Still can't find it.].

Homeworld 2 - Oh yeah!

So true... the physics they can simulate now is mind-boggling.

All the way. At least as I experienced. Especially that shameful Opposing Force with those plasma shooter spiders and the boss.

I never knew I suffered that much with Quake 1, Quake 2, or any of the Dooms, altough I don't have Castle Wolfenstein, which is probably not an easy one.

Makil Heru · **Reply #33 on:** July 29, 2003, 02:04:15 pm

Welll Doom 3 is also supposed to be really neat as well but it just has somewhat better graphics thats about it. They should have released it earlier because we are all looking more forward to games with better graphics.

HL and RTCW are about same difficulty level ( mmh, but I never had as much as a tough time in HL as the momen,t when you fight your first ubber soldat in Wolf Castle, tho ).

Dark_4ce · **Reply #35 on:** July 29, 2003, 02:45:51 pm

Mmmmm... I'm waiting for Tron 2.0!!! I guess you can call it a the official sequel! The first movie was basically about going into the computer and playing games, so its logical to assume that the sequel would be a game itself!

Woolie Wool · **Reply #36 on:** July 29, 2003, 02:47:39 pm

Doom 3 will kill them all.

EDIT: ID shooters easy? Have you fought Xaero on Nightmare or the Uber Soldat on I am Death Incarnate? ID shooters are very hard.

Methinks the tone of his post was not entirely serious? (!)
