Meo Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Resident Evil 4 looked AWFUL just from screens, yet in motion it was awesome (incredible infact). I'm sorry but you can't really judge it by screens. ... You didn't read my other post and my response to Emasher, did you? I already said in my other posts, I didn't complained about the image quality of the screenshots, or its lack of technical prowess; I said I found the art style generic. That as nothing to with screens vs. motion.
... Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 (Slightly low-quality) GC TRAILER I really think they should change those blood effects, they look like shit. Looks like a cloud of red smoke to mine eyes. They could at least use something similar to the headshot effect in Counter Strike, which I always thought looks ace. Blood stains on walls would also be nice. And this is not about being "teh mature", it's just that good blood effects (together with good physics) help you feel the impact, they help you feel like you are actually hitting something solid and making some damage.
The fish Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 (Slightly low-quality) GC TRAILER Minus the naff blood effects, that looks awesome. Looking forward to this.
Zechs Merquise Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 New trailer looks fluid, fast and aiming looks great.
Hellfire Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 this is full customization: http://wii.ign.com/dor/objects/14248157/the-conduit/videos/conduitDF7_controladjust_07.html
Noku Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Wow sweet! Dead zone not quite the size of the cursor though...
... Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Full customization is standard in PC gaming since forever, I think it's a welcome thing in console gaming and I only ask why isn't it done more often? Surely it's not hard on the processor or something.
Emasher Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 One thing I noticed was the fact that you can change the running speed. Why the hell would you want to run slower?

mr_bogus Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 New trailer looks fluid, fast and aiming looks great. *watches* Ok, the Wii is indeed > PS2.

DazzeL Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Even PC games aren't this customizable, unless you go to a console. They clearly are - even in standard options. Although once you do go to a console the customization at your finger tips is as near to complete as you could possibly get. You see the big deal with PC FPS is adequate mouse sensitivity/filter/lag settings and options to make the aiming feel right. Finally devs are getting the message that this level of customization is also needed in Wii games to get the IR feeling right.
Emasher Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 At this point I'm just hoping this game gets a "T" rating or I'm going to have to wait an extra year to play it.

I don't remember many PC games having (but I've played so many PC games, obviously I might've missed something, but it's not common) customization to the running speed the turning speed or the angle. It's usually what, inverting the axis and turning speed? Like I said, the rest is all in console.
mr_bogus Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Even the GC > PS2, seriously, is this news? :P I was taking a stab at all those other Wii games that looked like early generation PS2 titles!

It's usually what, inverting the axis and turning speed? Like I said, the rest is all in console. Turning speed translate it mouse sensitivity and mouse acceleration really but it is complete control of what speed the mouse moves in the same way that The Conduit offers complete control of how the IR moves. So in those regards they're equal. Running speed is something that you simply cannot change in most PC games, without a hack/cheat, as it would give an unfair advantage online. That's not a lack of cutomization though - that's providing an even playing field. That said many games have walk and run functions to give two variable speeds. I think in The Conduits case when it comes to online MP running speed will be standardized or everyone will just use max.
Zechs Merquise Posted August 29, 2008 Posted August 29, 2008 Whether it is or is not more customisable than PC shooters (which I believe it is as customisable as any PC shooter), it's certainly more customisable than FPSs on other consoles.

THIS is full customization:http://uk.wii.ign.com/dor/objects/14248157/the-conduit/videos/controlcusthighcond.html The more I see of this the more hyped I get! I'm really getting into MOHH2 online at the mo, would love to see if this is as good. The only thing, it's just 16 player, whereas MOHH2 is 32. Still, I believe that MOHH2 is the biggest number online for next gen consoles?
Emasher Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 TBH unless the stages are really big 16 is generally enough players I find. I guess it depends on the mode and how much health you have ect. I just hope they don't screw the online up.

Now you're in a war. I was watching the Match on X-League TV the other night, it was COD4, looked awesome, but only 4 on 4? Still ace - and before the angry people come in I'm not saying MOHH2 is better than COD4 - but not as epic as the big 16 vs 16!
david.dakota Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 Now i'm far from a tech wiz, so excuse my ignorance. If EA can pull together 32 players online, why can't other developers? Its only basic movement and action thats sent via the internet, and EA have proved its possible to send 32, so why only 16?

I'm not sure you understant competitive gaming, i.e. esports which is what X-League is. 16 vs 16 has absolutely zero chance of ever being trated seriously - it's too chaotic, too random with that many people. COD4 is normally played 5v5 so the 4v4 thing must be how the Xbox guys do it but the massive esports are always played with small teams. CS is 5v5, UT/Quake and stuff are normally 1v1, maybe 2v2 and even TF2 is only 6v6. Much more skill involved with these smaller teams and proper tactics.

Its not that we don't understand, its more that we'd rather play a game that we find fun. More players can make FPS games more fun for just the average hardcore gamer. But they still need to balance it right. I've played matches in online FPS games where you got fragged as soon as you re-spawned because it was just too crowded. Large groups can also be better to create a balance between Newer players and experienced players, if its just a few people you could more easily have a bunch of newer players facing a bunch of experienced players, and that doesn't really work out that well.
Goron_3 Posted August 31, 2008 Posted August 31, 2008 16 vs 16 is pretty cool but 4 vs 4 is far more important to get right.
