Lord FlatHead Posted September 15, 2001 http://news.dailytelefrag.com/?action=view&mode=id&year=2001&month=09&day=14&id=17.32.24 Check out these shots and a video of a FPS that's currently in development by those crazy Russians : Kreed. That video looks pretty fantastic - in fact, it pretty much matches my vision of how Doom 3 will look. The shadowing doesn't look quite as dramatic, and there's no Dot3 bumpmapping over all surfaces in the world (the water does use a form of bumpmapping for cool environment reflection effects). But other than that, it looks like another competitor to Doom3 in the graphics department (next to Unreal 2 and Unreal Warfare). 0 Share this post Link to post
LorD BaZTArD Posted September 15, 2001 Those pics look sweet. But On close inspection all they look like is Quake 3 with GeForce 3 lighting capabilities But, I am very impressed. Good job whoever's makin it. /Edit. On a Seond Veiwing I see a very Unreal style feel to those pic's as well. The Game does look good. that's for sure. but prolly not a Doom III killer 0 Share this post Link to post
Amanichen Posted September 15, 2001 Nice graphics, but Doom III still looks better. And remember we're still a long way off from even a test version of Doom III. The lighting is OK, but doesn't have the subtle shading effects that were presented in the doom III movie clips. The other thing is...we don't know if it's real time, as in: are they just really damn good looking lightmaps, or can they have dynamic sources? 0 Share this post Link to post
999cop Posted September 15, 2001 World War III would be the killer to the existence of Doom 3 if there were existed 0 Share this post Link to post
Zaldron Posted September 16, 2001 I thought this one was called Breed. Oh well, it's still an X-box title, right? That means it's inexistant for me. 0 Share this post Link to post
Zaldron Posted September 16, 2001 OK, apparently I'm crazy or there are 2 games very much alike... 0 Share this post Link to post

Zaldron Posted September 16, 2001 Yeah, the shots don't look that good, and check the stuff over there, seems like some of them are like photoshoped or something. 0 Share this post Link to post

Lord FlatHead Posted September 16, 2001 Speaking of fancy graphics, check out these screenshots of a leaked alpha version of Unreal 2 : http://www.angelfire.com/retro/nirv/unreal2/. I would sell my mother for that alpha. 0 Share this post Link to post
Xenoman Posted September 16, 2001 Those screens are simply just amazing. 0 Share this post Link to post
LorD BaZTArD Posted September 16, 2001 Just Going through those Unreal 2 pics. SHIT! They are fucking incredible! One more title to add to my I WANT THEM NOW list Return to Castle Wolfenstein Duke Nukem Forever Unreal 2 WarCraft 3 DooM 3 Need for speed: Motor City Online. (But only if there is a single player bit. There bloody well should be, not everyone has broadband yet :() Half Life 2 Counter Strike SP (Yes seriously. It Might be good) And Quite a few more that I can't remember..:| 0 Share this post Link to post
Xenoman Posted September 16, 2001 I think we'll see Half life 2 in about 6 months or so. 0 Share this post Link to post
LorD BaZTArD Posted September 16, 2001 Yeah, I hope so too. If those rumours are right. tho If they are Sierra and Valve have done a good job of keeping it secret. They did that with the original HL too didn't they? It's Gonna BE AWESOME. But if the rumour is false. well :( The only problem with HL2 is story. Considering all three veiw points of the current story Who stars in the new one? Where is it set? considering Black Mesa got nuked. Can't wait to find out. BRING ON HL2 0 Share this post Link to post
Xenoman Posted September 16, 2001 Picture this: Gordon Freeman in a 5000 dollar suit, working for the G man (Damien Smith). He goes out on a brand, new mission and it goes to hell (as usual). He asks himself;"why me??" Then you'll have to fight through monsters, God, no aliens please. I don't want to laugh myself trough this one too. If Sierra and Valve releases a second Opposing Force then Adrian Sheppard will probably work for mr.Smith too, considering his conversation with him at the end of the game. But these are just my thoughts... 0 Share this post Link to post
LorD BaZTArD Posted September 16, 2001 Did you make his name up? Coz as far as I know Gman's name was Administator or G-Man Aliens? What aliens. It's an alternate reality. A "border world" Blue Shift Explains it. I recommend Blue Shift. I do. It's good. Tho short. The Teleports in half life needed A sideway's Zone. which was what Xen was. However the Inhabitants of Xen were NOT happy with this. And Attacked. As Far as I can tell. Going on the fact that G-Man Nuked Black Mesa I think the scientists were researching something they shouldn't of. and the Government set the G-Man in to sort it out. Which he did. I also think he blew up Xen as well. But we will find out 0 Share this post Link to post
Xenoman Posted September 16, 2001 The thing is that the new alien race that appeard from Opposing Force did NOT come from Xen. They were pissed off at the old Xen race, but why? So Sheppard is on his way to Black Mesa, he finds Freeman but he couldn't go after him in that teleporter at level A in the Lambda Complex. I haven't played Blue Shift yet but I will at some point. I've heard that you escape from Black Mesa with a few scientists, right? I believe that Freeman and Sheppard will unite in HL2 or Opposing Force 2 some how. 0 Share this post Link to post
LorD BaZTArD Posted September 16, 2001 I forgot about them. The Shock Troopers. Where did they come from? It looked like Xen. Shepard's team were sposed to look for Freeman. But then the Shit hit the fan and Shepards team crash. They arrive after Freeman got Captured, (round about) and Then had to fight the're way out. Blue SHift. Play it. Barney Does escape with a few scientists In a funny outro too. I think it was. Early in Blue Shift there is a Reference to SHepards team. Also, both shepard and Freeman were "dealt with" So we don't know what happened to them, but they might turn up. MIGHT 0 Share this post Link to post
Xenoman Posted September 16, 2001 Ofcourse they'll show up in HL2 (Freeman only I suppose), they both are the two main rolls in this whole story. They started to work for the administrator of Black Mesa, the guy nukes the entire area, get's away with it and hires Freeman and Sheppard. Calhoun escapes with a few scientists before the area was nuked by the Gman luckily. I can't imagine a fourth part of the story, can you? 0 Share this post Link to post
Zaldron Posted September 16, 2001 I'm not really surprised with Unreal 2 graphics. I love them, of course, and I fucking want that game cause it's way different from Unreal's SP. But they're just today FPSs with an improved lightmap system and a fuckload more of polygons. Natural evolution if you take a look at FPSs progress throught the last few years... 0 Share this post Link to post
Revenant! Posted September 16, 2001 I think Kreed is looking impressive...but hmm, the Unreal 2 Pictures are a little bit above normal... Maybe that its because kreed has a movie. 0 Share this post Link to post
DiSTuRBeD Posted September 17, 2001 Does "Anal Rape" Ring a bell? Cuz that's what D3's gonna do to this game. Still, it looks pretty sweet, but most of it could be done in Q3 IMO. The watery shot looked awsome tho :) 0 Share this post Link to post
Xenoman Posted September 17, 2001 Arg, if I wanna buy and play Unreal2, I'll have to get myself a Geforce3, right? heh 0 Share this post Link to post
DiSTuRBeD Posted September 17, 2001 You can still BUY Unr2 even if you don't have a GF3. I'm sure nobody would mind, except for die hard unreal fans in the event of an Unreal2 shortage :) 0 Share this post Link to post
