Demo: Country Justice

2005-04-24T10:09:00.000-07:00

On Attack of The Show last friday kevin p. showed the public a small demo of a trailer trash man who gets, well, mad. The demo lasts 60 minutes (cheap I know). This probably isn't worth your time but I thought I'd mention it. Well its a 3rd party indie type game, Okay graphics, frame rate is set low so it becomes choppy, aiming just doesn't feel right, I dont like the game that much, but if hill billies chasing around zombies and 3 headed dogs is your bag then by all means this is the demo for you

Sorry for the delay

2005-04-07T15:43:00.000-07:00

Working on 2 minor posts about Splinter Cell and Snow Blind sorry for the delay but I'm so caught up and busy. Which I bet nobodies ever gonna read this but oh well. Also I'm going to start a data base in my old web site that will host all my flash content, stories, and more. But not yet. I'm also working on a new short story call "Lone Wolf". A military story, seeing as how Tom Clancy is my idol. I'm also reading Rainbow 6 thought im only about 8 pages in, its a big book with big pages and I dont have time so dont laugh.

Good news (PSP)

2005-03-28T15:15:00.000-08:00

If I get staright A's in school (except PE my teacher gay (not homo but just stupid)) I'll get a free PSP. Seeing as how I'm to lazy to buy one myself, this is a good deal. I'm not spoiled, this is the only prize (or money) that I've ever got for my grades. I'm failing and this is a insentive for me to do better. Why this is good news? PSP reviews in mid July (or when ever school ends), that's why it good new.

Debate: Fatcrap vs. Tj elite x

2005-03-28T14:53:00.000-08:00

I've been pointed toward the light on some of the Halo 2 issues by fatcrap you are right on some issues (look at comment on "Bad ideas for Halo 2" post). If you are to lazy to got there and read I will print what fatcrap and my counter-arguments here.

fatcrap said...

Goodness, your a retarted.

You only have to press white when you want to talk to your teammates, unless you want everybody to hear "They're going ribs!"

Matchmaking is not of course with random people, it has a host, equally skilled players, and a system that ranks you based on wins, loses, and skill. How else would the matchmaking system work?

Updates, check bungie.net, I see 9 maps and tons of glitch/bug fixes along the way, not even a year since the game's been out.

You go to a completly different halo, with a completly different environment and theme scheme. If thats not the premise for a new level I don't know what is. And the 2nd level starts from earth and goes on from there. Maybe if you play the game a couple times through you would have a better understanding.

New enemies? What are the drones then? What is the scarab and smarter AI?

And yes, the graphics glitch does exist, for a second at the most. This is a trade off for complete and utter lack of loading times in each level, ever notice that?

Due to the extensive ranking system, which is awesome, how would guests work being ranked into the system. Unfair disadvantages such as smaller screen size with clutter (which, what don't you know, they're fixing) and if the other person(s) on a differnet team they could give away locations, these situations would occur every single day on live.

New game modes?! They came out with all the counter-strike modes, and incorperated different vehicles into halo game modes for variation. Tell me, what other game modes would you make.

Online co-op probably could have been put in so I'll agree with you on that one. Would have been a nice feature.

Ending, well the game ended right? Wait for halo3 man, it was not supposed to have an ending.

Oh yeah, and if you knew any backstory on that PA comic, you would know it was intended as a joke towards bungie for kicking they're ass in the humpday challenge.

Tj Elite X said...

A few counter arguements too your post,

Well first of all the scarab is barley a enemy,
Its the guys fault to let him have a guest also it would be ranked by the profile you pick at the start
Yes less then a year before they realse but there are still alot of exploits so I'm saying there not cover every thing and they are slow, they should come out when they relize theres a problem, the graphics before each cut scene is annoying, and only 1 earth level big woop, false advertizing, they said it was all on earth, halo (the planet) is getting boring,
Guests should be on the same team as there leaders its very easy if theres a party they all are on the same team, just dont allow more then 4 people (or 8 with a big gattle).
I find pressing the white button is tedious and in a gun battle, to hard to reach.
I didnt know about the PA thing (which I doubt its true anyway) but you did make some nice points.

3rd party game: A Tale In The Desert

2005-03-27T17:59:00.000-08:00

Theres a free 24 hour gameplay trial of a great 3rd party game called "A Tale In The Desert". Ive tested this game and I have to say stick to it throught "Immagrant Island" (noob island). It rewards you greatly in the real game. Im tempted to pay the monthly carge of about $11.50. Here are some of the good gameplay aspects of ATITD

Building allows for towns to spring out in the middle of no where
Lots of skills to works for and keep you occupide
MMO (massively multipayer online game) making it a community effort
Nice graphics, the best I've seen in a 3rd party game in a long time
Lots of item to collect

Now here are some of the bad

Walking takes for ever and the map is so big its hard to get from one place to another
Universities are to far apart, Making my 1. observation true
Random slow downs
Grass being one of the resources you can collect, comes in big patchs, cause slowness when walking throught the fields

Those are the few pros and cons of this game I recomend downloading it. Have fun

F.E.A.R. Gameplay video and my opinion

2005-03-27T17:25:00.000-08:00

Heres the video takes a while to download thought also you need a fileshack account but its easy to sign up. My thoughts on this video are as follows, and if you havent seen the video, there might be spoilers.

Follows "The Ring" esc style (creepy little girl, crazy visions)
Looks like a not very wide verity of weapons but its was only a video so how would I know
Looks scary and sure to give thrills to any gamer
Realy good graphics, state of the art if I do say so myself
Good gore and blood effects
Creepy story even for a short video (s.w.a.t. mission turns creep-fest)

"First Encounter Assault and Recon" gives this game the very clever acronym F.E.A.R.
Apparently "Command Recon Advanced Patrol" didn't acronym so well

War Craft 3 bonus map: "Full Scale Assault"

2005-03-27T16:55:00.000-08:00

Heres a look at the new map in War Craft 3 its called "Full Scale Assault" . Suggested Players: 3v3 or 4v4 Size: Large Tileset: Lordaeron Wint I have yet to test it out but I will soon seeing as how my clan is getting ready for a match. More on it later. The game finding process could take a while and I wont quit just because I'm not on the right map to test. I know some people who, when trying to get to a certain map, quit before it even starts.

Resident Evil 4

2005-03-27T16:40:00.000-08:00

RE4 or for those who dont know that abreviation means and the picture rings no bells, its resident evil 4. The game rated number 1 by X-play at E3 2004. With stunning graphics, great story, great violence, and so on. Me and my friend have been playing this hit game. We have almost completed the first disc. We are stuck at the moment and we were borrowing it from another friend, and well, he took it back. I talked to him and we will be getting it back in a matter of days. picture from G4 Tech Tv. If you get stuck you might be able to get throught it with the help of Cheat

Bad ideas for Halo 2

2005-03-27T15:49:00.000-08:00

Bungie, the makers Halo 2 (DUH), seem to not get what made halo 1 so great. It was new and exciting. But they stayed to close to the premiss in Halo 1 for Halo 2, ya xbox live is the bomb, But playing on Delta halo gets boring because we've all seen it before.

Having to press white when you want to talk
Match making is with random people
Lack of updates
You goto halo again (mabey it should've been on earth like they advertised)
Lack of new enemies and weapons
Graphics glitch at the beging of every cut scene
Guests cant play in real matchmade games
Lack of new game modes
No online co-op
No Ending

Those are all off the tip of my head there are more but I dont remeber what they are. Comment if you know anymore.
Here is comic by the "Penny Arcade" crew to futher prove my point

2005-03-27T11:43:00.000-08:00

Even thought I dont have a PS2 my brother does and somntimes when hes not here he lets me use it. He gets demos throught the mail and a little while ago he got a "God of War" demo, the new hit game that took 3 years in the making to complete. It got its ultra M rated title for, Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Nudity, Sexual Themes, and Strong Language. This is for a very mature adunce. seeing as how I dont have a PS2 and my brother is a cheap ass, we wont have this game intill it goes on sale. It could be a while before I have a review if my brother even lets me play it at all.

Halo 2 Maps

2005-03-27T10:50:00.000-08:00

As i have come to know in the past few minutes there are some new Halo 2 maps on the way.

Bungie said this

"We're releasing a total of nine new multiplayer maps. All nine maps will eventually be available as Live downloads and as a normal boxed game disc - available at retail for $19.99 (US). The release on Live will be staggered, some paid, some free!The first two maps are free and coming in a few short weeks. (late April) The same day the 2 free maps are released, 2 additional maps will be available for purchase. The remaining 5 maps will be made available as a paid download on the same day the retail package goes on sale. The retail disc will contain extras, including a documentary, a cool project from our cinematic and animation team, every Halo 2 update released so far and possily one or two other little treats. By late summer, ALL the maps will be available for free."
This is good news finaly they got off there asses and started making new maps. Here are the pictures and summaries by bungie

CONTAINMENT

A massive, mostly outdoor, and somewhat symmetrical environment set in the frozen tundra near Sentinel Wall, on Delta Halo. The icy terrain is a walled valley floor, scarred by a massive trench, running between two enormous Forerunner compounds. Each of these structures acts as a base, and each base is itself large enough to drive a vehicle around in.

The bases contain a heavily fortified flag capture point which presents a tough challenge for an unorganized offense. To even the odds, it's possible to open vehicle access to these bases by activating a switch - exposed to sniper fire in the center of the map. Above this switch is the teleport exit for each base.

The rapid access enabled using teleporters and vehicles means that while this is by far one of the largest Halo maps ever, it's also one with a large number of transit options, on foot or in vehicles.

Caves, ridges and tunnels provide stealthy entrance to enemy bases, while the jagged central trench is a great spot to take cover. Above, the exposed, icy fields are littered with the most explosive cores in the game. Default vehicles include Hogs, Scorpion tanks and Banshees. Containment was built from the ground up, with large scale objective games in mind, especially CTF. If you like Coagulation, and were a fan of Sidewinder, you'll love Containment!

WARLOCK

Set in the rain-soaked ruins of an ancient Forerunner structure, nobody knows if Warlock is a temple, a castle or even a dwelling. What we do know is that the architecture predates the Halo itself, and that it must have been moved here, brick by brick, with obvious reverence by the Forerunners themselves.

A small to medium sized map, Warlock is ideal for close-quarters fights, Slayer matches and thanks to its four way symmetry, multi-team Territories battles. Warlock's mix of obstacles and open areas makes it a perfect spot for more chaotic matches like Rockets. Sharp-eyed players may note its resemblance to the map Wizard, although it has been rebuilt from the ground up to take advantage of Halo 2's new graphics and gameplay features.

Warlock is filled with nooks, crannies and other hiding places, and while the ground is a warren of obstacles, it's possible to reach any other point in the map by taking the high road - a series of platforms and ramps that stretch across the map, with a temple-like center structure dominating the arena.

Teleporters dot the walls allowing you to evade pursuing enemies, or take instant shortcuts across the map.

TURF

The surrounding streets and evacuated buildings of Old Mombasa make it a dangerous warren, with potential assassins lurking in every shadow and around every corner. Dusty storefronts hide mazelike interiors, and narrow walkways above street level make this shadowy part of town a sniper's haven.

Although it was designed primarily with Territories and CTF in mind, Turf's wildly varying situations - open streets, large buildings, narrow passageways - mean that it's surprisingly flexible. In spite of its size and complexity, the level even works well as a cat and mouse one-on-one map.

Although the tight alleys and streets are initially confusing, there are plenty of vital landmarks - a downed Covenant Scarab, a makeshift Human military base and a massive warehouse, complete with huge swinging doors. Players can knock down catwalks to control ledges above the streets, and a well-parked Warthog can lay down covering fire for the team quick enough to grab it.

SANCTUARY

A walled grotto defines the center point of this Forerunner habitat, from which aqueducts span out, like the hands of a clock. It perfectly obscures a clear line of sight between two more robust temple buildings primarily used as Flag capture bases.

The map was designed to be perfectly symmetrical and used for smaller, team based objective games, like CTF and Assault, but its size and layout also make it a perfect spot for Slayer matches and slightly more frenetic types like Territories and Oddball. The tunnels at the sides and the open areas in front of the bases make for frantic firefights and nerve-wracking chases.

Stop for a moment to admire the scenery and you'll see a complicated system of waterfalls, canals and pools. Splashing water and the chirp of birds help define the sound scheme of this otherwise peaceful environment.

Larger versions of these images have been added to the Halo 2 Screenshot gallery.

Jade Empire and Splinter Cell 3

2005-03-27T10:02:00.000-08:00

Ive reacently reserved a copy of the greatly anticipated splinter cell 3 for the xbox. I have also played a demo from xbox magazine. For those who have'nt played or heard about it here are some new fitures. There are now there modes you pick at the begining of each level. 1. Assault, a guns blazing approach. 2. Stealth, Silent but dealy. 3. Balanced, A mix between the first two.
Also in a diffrent demo disc there was Jade Empire, An Action RPG, With many fighting styles.
The demo was too sort in my eyes but all in all it was fun, If you dont already have that demo disc, so if you wish to have these demos even thought the rest of demos on those discs are crap, go out and pick them up, The cover tells which one has which demo. Here are also some listings of the other demos on those discs.

Jade Empire
Area 51

Splinter Cell, Chaos theory
Unreal Championship 2: The liandri conflict
Worms 3D
Conker: Live and Reloaded
