<0> dekumaru
<0> thanks for FEAR ;D
<0> big up
<1> np, it was all me (tm)
<0> haha
<0> its weird, but that explosion at the end is probably the best explosion i've ever seen in a game heh
<0> i wish more devs would do that, hollywood style, with stock footage or prerendered high quality video, instead of trying to do it for real with particles
<0> for things of that magnitude i mean :)
<1> i remember working with the artists trying to get the billboarding just right to avoid parallaxing
<1> for that scene
<0> it was ridiculously effective
<0> probably the first time my jaw has dropped at an in-game sequence in a long, long time
<1> cool :)
<2> man im glad i backed up
<2> my ISP really effed me over bigtime
<1> what i found interesting with FEAR is that about 40% of our worldwide sales are in Germany alone
<1> i need to go to a party
<3> Decept404, which game?
<3> slz, what happened?
<3> oh, Marudek made fear?
<0> haha
<0> maru worked on it yes
<4> that game owns, only problem is that it tends to reboot my computer :/
<3> I heard good things about it, pity it doesn't have any network play
<3> there needs to be more good fps that offer really strong coop mode
<3> i remember playing... quake1?... coop and having a wonderful time
<4> is a horror game, of course you should play it alone :P
<4> *its
<3> swx, so is system shock 2, played that with a friend of mine in seperate dark offices with speakerphones, that was ****ing creapy as all hell
<4> heh
<3> "HOLY ****" *I see him backpeddling like mad away from a door*
<3> door explodes inwards and a cyborg crashes in
<3> etc. etc.
<3> still, it's all about "kill your mate" nowadays, or team fortress which is all about "**** your mate".
<5> So I'm in pre-cal studying quadratic functions and how to graph them. Would I ever need this knowledge for game development?
<6> system shock 2 rocked
<6> im looking forward to the dev teams new project "bio shock"
<6> system shock was one of the truly creepy games of all time
<4> Silent Hill was also pretty creepy :)
<7> http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony_pictures/silenthill/hd/
<4> most "scary" games just add monsters jumping through windows and stuff like that :/
<0> fear has sweet multiplayer
<0> what you on about
<3> Decept404, well it's not coop storymode though, is it?
<3> swx, yeah, which isn't nearly as good. I consider Half Life (at least the first one) to be something of a successor to SS2. A lot of the "See guy run by through window, see monster run after, see body parts fly by" kinda action.
<8> actually, i have a pretty good idea for a new mechanic in fear games, which is made possible by hardware on one of the newer systems
<8> huhu
<8> but i'm probably too lazy to implement it
<3> well it's all about ambience, for sure
<0> i'm confused, halflife successor to ss2?
<8> Decept404: in feel
<3> half life is pretty good at it, but system shock was better, especially with the whole "everyone you see dies" aspect.
<0> ss2 came after :P
<8> Gambit-: what's the scariest thing you could possibly have to do when you're hiding from something?
<3> Decept404, ahah no****, really?
<0> uhuh.
<3> StoneCybh, piss?
<8> Gambit-: having to yell into the microphone to get someone's attention.
<0> ds horror
<0> woot
<8> "omgomgomgomg i don't want to make any noise but if i don't tony's gonna die"
<8> if you check all the stuff people say about terror games it always seems to boil down to the fear of being heard
<8> not seen
<8> not noticed
<8> heard
<0> the most effective horror games are the most effective when there's no action
<8> the human fear instinct is primarily tied to sound
<0> i have HUGE respect for the new call of cthulhu game
<8> forcing the player to willingly make noise is the new omgfactor
<0> they did pretty much everything right in that regard
<8> Decept404: orly
<3> actually, interesting you point that out, I'm most keyed up about /hearing/ the monsters, not particularly seeing them. See them, I shoot them, but hear them, they're about to jump out on me.
<0> there's **** so deadly you'll almost never face it, youll just be running away madly
<0> and thats the way it should be
<0> fear shouldnt be solved with bullets
<8> Gambit-: yeah. now, you've been playing for five hours, it's dark, you're hiding behind a wall.
<0> it should be solved with avoidance in the context of a game, as it should be in a story.
<8> Gambit-: some big spiny pile of teeth is about to eat your in-game son.
<8> Gambit-: you have to make noise!
<0> every story about fear that finishes with confrontation have disappointing endings
<8> omgomgomgomgomogm.
<3> Decept404, is there a demo o fthat, btw?
<0> nah man, it's xbox
<0> :(
<3> Decept404, :/
<3> I haven't even /seen/ an xbox in this country.
<8> ha ha, WORLD *** END'd
<0> but ya sound is the most important
<0> you can have garbage graphics or no graphics at all
<3> StoneCybh, yeah, or you have to get the attention of the guy with the gun (!) so he'll turn around and shoot them.
<0> and still conjure pretty horrifying imagery
<3> ahah there's an idea
<3> Who played Ico?
<0> thats another thing, PEOPLE are more scary than monsters really heh
<0> i'd like to see some good human antagonism
<0> and be afraid of some woman or something heh. which is why the imagery from Ringu is so effective i think
<3> Imagine playing the p***ive role in the game, or at least for parts of the game, where you have to get the attention of the guy with the gun so he shoots the badguys before they eat you.
<0> call of cthulhu is raw.. like a part where you accidentally cause a little girl's death
<0> and that girl haunts you throughout the rest of the game
<0> and you hear your character muttering about it "it was my fault.."
<0> she's not dangerous, because she's in the character's mind
<0> but she's incredibly uncomfortable
<0> guilt is horror
<3> hah nice
<3> they stole that right out of Hellraiser, for sure :)
<0> hm i don't recall themes of guilt in hellraiser
<0> more outright body horror
<9> if by hellraiser you mean the Seputagint or the Upanishads, perhaps
<9> PREDATE BY FOUR THOUSAND YEARS'd
<3> Decept404, well yeah, but constantine did cause that one girl's death, well, more then a few of them.
<3> but he wasn't haunted by it except in dreams.
<3> I wonder if I can get the hellraiser comics on bittorrent, now that would be excellent.
<3> ok who's playing the superbowl? http://www.yahoo.com/ says Denver...
<9> it's seattle and pittsburgh
<9> the game is set in detroit
<3> look at the front page of yahoo :)
<0> i have like no relationship to american football at all
<0> aside from the dallas cowboys cheerleaders for no good reason
<3> well considering you are gay, there definitely isn't a good reason.
<0> O_o
