I was very impressed by 2027. Nice minimalist soundtrack, great custom gun models, great robot buddy system. I think the only shortfall was the design of the first level, which I found rather empty and overly-spacious, but perhaps that was intended. In a very DX sort of way, 2027 gives you quite an ...

The Talos Principle: Road to Gehenna (excellent expansion for this game, I was expecting to be disappointed). I was meaning to buy this, but it felt pretty expensive for DLC. How long would you say it is, and does it have new puzzle mechanics? I got pretty sated with the ones in the main game. I ha...

Thought I'd bump this thread, if that's alright. Been playing: Reflex (indie arena FPS, search on Steam) The Talos Principle: Road to Gehenna (excellent expansion for this game, I was expecting to be disappointed). Thief: Gold with graphics mods. Obviously quite dated visually and substantially, but...

Mainstream 'AAA' games certainly appear to lack in innovation, which is nothing new. Because of the scale of mainstream video game development (millions of dollars, sometimes hundreds of staff) there will always be elements of conservatism and gratification in mainstream games - new game concepts ca...

For real? Are you making this up or did I just never notice it...pity I don't have TNM installed.

I'd say TNM is more canon than this or HR.

What are the benefits of hanfling's launcher?

Oh well, so much for the original source material. Sheldon Pacotti I miss you!

The beta is good enough. Besides, there won't be bodies in the streets if we can't have a 2003-level graphics mod for a game from 2000. The guy working has made it pretty clear that he doesn't enjoy working on it and I completely empathise with that. It's a huge amount of work for something that ver...

Please tell me they're using an in-house engine...at least not UDK.

Does it have to be Underworld? I mean, it was kind of cool back in the '90s but I think I've seen enough Tolkien-esque source material for a lifetime, thanks. Regardless, good luck to them.

Come again?

I played it a few months ago and thought it was really good. However I'm not sure how much longer your mod will get played since Revision is due for a release soon. Go fuck yourself. I've invested so much into this, almost every day working my ass off with nothing in return, and you claim an unprov...

I'm surprised to hear Ion Storm Austin described as a cult of personality. They always seemed to have a very intellectual approach to game development, rather than a charisma-based approach, but on the other hand when you gather a bunch of highly accomplished designers under one roof, each of whom ...
