film was crap, but hopefully the game will be good ... goin'a kill me s'um bug scum ...0 -
Slightly off topic, but if anyone has Half-Life 2 there is a new mod on Steam that is a kinda re-make of the last stand scene from the movie ... basically you are a combine soldier in a outpost that is being over run by AntLions
anyway, back to the demo ... looks good, but my PC is currently in a shipping yard with Komplett.ie so it will be a few days till i get to play it 0 -

If you want it you only have to travel as far as town, I'll do you a copy?0 -
Its almost half way done already, but thanks anyway.....I should be hammering away at Arachnid scum within the hour
God I can't wait.....cannot wait....The original SST game was pretty bland and I thought a waste of the up close, gritty ugilness potential a game license had.
Forgot - my name is taken from SST btw for all those non SST fans 0 -

Hard not to but its just as completely different type a movie as could be. Swap Epic battlefields and mind blowing futuristic set pieces for cramped and dark bland hallways, with little variation. Think Alien with more gore and superb special effects.
I'll rent it one of these days, btw: %100. Back later 0 -

It's very poor.
Lovely weapon model for the morita, sound effects not great. Love the shotgun combo. Arachnids look great, enviroment looks great, your fellow soldiers look like - literally almost something from the days of Unreal Tournament. Models of dead soldiers look worse then something from Half Life original, and this is no joke.
Controls felt slightly sluggish, but nothing major. Music is crap too - an attempt to mimic Pouldouris' score from the movie but falls fall.
Opening sequence is rubbish - about as exciting as emptying a bin. Shoot at a few bugs that seem very few on a large landscape. Surely they could have thrown in a lot more bugs for the demo, to really wow us.
Overall, pretty crap, not even going to bother trying to play it again.
Unrelated really, but difficultly is unreal. Had to revert to easy and still found it hard to get past some packs of maurading warriors...
Unless the game improves big time I personally give this two thumbs down.
Below is a screen from pc. Runs fine at max everything.0 -
They really need to work on the sound, the music is crap. Wich is sad because the movies was so good. I turned off the music and put on the StarShip troopers theme in the background.
And its a bit ****e when the Arachnids instantly turn into a green pile of gue, because they look good when moveing around. The humans look like crap.
I ran it @800x600 with shadows on low with a go6600 and 1.73 centrino.0 -
i dont think is that bad its fun killing bugs
runs perfectly on high settings 1280*1024 on my a64 3400+ 1gig ram 6800gt
but it is very hard even on easy no quick save either but that cud b just the demo
and tbh i didnt expect much from it so wasnt disappointed 0 -

Whats the deal with the music? They have this absolutely ****ty poor SST imitation music in the game, which I ended up turning off. Then in the end of the demo they have the full music score, which if used in the actual demo would have improved things no end.
Also, how an EARTH do you get past the huge swarm of bugs at the minelayer/crash site? There was about 50 bugs, killed them with shotgun until my ammo ran out and then ran until I was sliced to death? How do you get past this part? 0 -

It doesnt look good enough for the minimum specs tbh. It played on my spec with everything full but chugs a bit. Deffo need a new gfx card but uni fees come first
Game itself seems to be a mindless blaster. Might killa few hours but doubt it will ever be considered a classic. Can you man the turrets btw at the base? there is a use interact button but ic ant jump on em 0 -

Guys calm down :cool:
To get past that part you need to find the super-shotgun thats around the lower end of the crash site. It can blast about 6 bugs a peice. It gets better from there. Then go back to the outpost and 1000s of bugs start attacking. A real bug attack.
I also reccomend you get the ST theme ture and play it on repeat instead of the demo music :P0 -

I'll try that now....
And yes, some of the ambient sound is terrible for me too. The machine/grenade rifle sounds meaty, the morita sounds really low and barely audible.
Giving it one last try now for the "super" shotgun..... :cool:
Rotal - cool, did it install via copy or retail disc? Hope it all went okay for you in any case....0 -

Runs fine with no shadows in 1024. Very odd that some of you guys posting that you're getting sluggish controls - I find controls too fast on mine (walking/aiming) as if some FPS limiter was not set/working (A64 3000+, 512, 9700Pro, nothing o/c'ed), i.e. having trouble lining up to climb the outpost ramp at the beginning etc.
But it's very, very, veeery crap - assault rifle sound is nothing like the movie - big disappointment here
BoS demo is more fun -ish... still not a patch on BF2 by a few light-years, IMO.0 -
