  • Deus Ex 3

    Quote from kleinluka

    Just some answers to some of the major questions from our Marketing community dude.Auto Health

    Yes, Deus Ex 3 will use auto-health regeneration. This is a departure from the original but the industry as a whole has grown up and changed quite a bit in the last eight years and the designers didn’t want people exploring levels just for health packs or having to reload to an old save game because they messed up a scenario and couldn’t advance. I know some people actually liked the exact scenario I just described but this is a decision the team made.

    This REALLY should be an aug/implant/whatever it's going to be. The industry has not grown up, while it has changed - that change has swerved onto serving the more casual gamer as consoles are now the mainstream and primary focus of a lot of developers. That idea right there for health regen is designed for the causal / console gamer. Having health regen is going to be a real no brainer. If you're hurt all you're going to have to do is sit in a corner and suck on your thumb for a while until you're at full hit points. In deus ex 1 you'd actually have to think about how you're going to approach a given combat situation if you're low on the old hit points. But oh no, health regen has just thrown that out of the window. I would shit my pants in deus ex 1 when I had low hit points and had to take down several enemies. It made me think about other alternatives to the situation as there was always more than one. But from the sounds of it all I'm going have to worry about is if I can find a corner to sit in. I'm still looking forward to what can be done with the game, but it's little design choices like this that start to make me lose confidence.

    Ho ho ho, I'm gonna get raped.

    Quote from Furyo

    Deus Next: The next installment in the long series of "damned if you do, damned if you don't" video games where nothing should be different but everything that is exactly identical also sucks.Fan boys may be the bread and butter of this industry, but there are times when not listening to them at all should really be your first priority.

    I can't even describe how irritated I feel when someone says something like that.

    So much for seeing JC.

    SIGH. I'm getting really pissed with developers lately.

  • STALKER: Clear Sky

    Whats the deal with people still sodding dying for no reason, it's so annoying! I save a stalker in the cordon, after wolf asked me to. I save him. Bring him back to base, go off to do another task, come back, and the stalker I saved is dead on his back with everyone standing around as if nothings happened. Ugh.

    Quote from Buddy

    I recommend using float32 for clear sky: http://www.thefloatingpoint.org/main/news.php

    All it does is crash the game for me. Had to re-install it. Naice.

    Quote from KoKo5oVaR

    I was looking for items in a city, but didn't found anything, so i started to look at texture bugs, collision problems, holes in the geometry of the environment and stuff like that . Once the communication guy saw it, he told me : "Alright you played enough, there's some people waiting to try"

    Nice one Koko

  • Silent Hill: Homecoming

    Quote from Taylor

    Yahtzee is a wonderful entertainer, but he's a pretty terrible reviewer.

    He's not going to like this anyway, he's already made a reference to not liking the current development team.

    That was my general sarcasm. I just like to see him rip the piss. But at the same time he brings up completely valid points that I agree with on all the games I've played that he's mocked.
