Natural Selection 2

awesome

What's up with the way the dude is shooting though?

(Other than that looks cool)

- pros

realtime, no compiles

- cons

alpha and crashes sometimes

Looks very promising and true to NS! There is however clearly a long way yet before this gets anywhere near release state.

Agreed...anyone else feel they parted with there cash a little early on the preorder

Without it we wouldn't be making it anymore.

Worth it to check out the editor. Worked out at £12 for me, that's f all really.

I guess you're the type of gamer who'd rather buy another installment of COD: Modern Warfare than support a more decent cause and a bunch of decent developers...

Not that NS is in any way shitty, but how is this a more decent cause?

Theres actually people that are dependent on the cod series doing well as well.

But in reality CoD is gonna sell well regardless if individuals that care about games and devs buy their games. I would think NS is a lot more dependent on the more knowledgeable individuals and their choices then CoD.

I know I'm more inclined to buy a good game at full price that sold shitty like Mirror's Edge then Mass Effect. It doesn't help that the choice often comes to one or the other and I can't split the money in a fashion I think is fair.

Actually i'm not ;o and you know that Sind, because you know me . I guess this time i'm sat on the other side, so from my perspective things look quiet. I'm so used to knowing a games campaign structure.

I'm looking forward to NS2, but like all excited little gamers i want things now ;D~.

I'm hoping the game release will be around the same time as Edinburgh Interactive Festival. Spoke with Charlie about it last year but nothing was ready to show.

COD ≠ NS2

because

CONSOLE ≠ PC

Thanks . Also, I'd imagine that the developers don't get as well payed as the publisher's employees do.

I'm surprised this has not been posted yet.

I still do not like the alien designs. If I am playing a game with space-marines, I cannot vision fighting mutated zoo animals in space. The overall environments and cinematic look great though.
