Evolution of the Quake Engine

PC Games Hardware has an interesting article that charts the evolution of id Software's Quake engine. The album of screenshots that starts with Heretic II and finishes with the upcoming game Rage brings back some very fond memories. http://www.pcgameshardware.com/aid,687947/14-years-of-Quake-Engine-The-famous-games-with-id-Technology/News/ -- Rob

steam summer sale

Noone talking about the steam summer sale? Got myself GTA4 Liberty City Stories for �15 and L4D2 for �6 and Beyond Good and Evil for �2. Todays games are a bit boring though, Civ4-Collection - well, I have FreeCiv. Warhammer 40k Dawn of War �27,49 is not a special deal. Flotilla for �2,25 doesn't get my attention, Eve for �2 - already played it for seven years, Half-Life 1 for �2 is nice for those who havent got it yet. Only for US, Max Payne Bundle for �3,75 and Gothic Bundle (2+3) for $5. Kane and Lynch: Dead Men for �7,50/$5/�3,50 would be interesting if it wasn't such a h

OT: Web browser comparison/problem

posting here cause I regularly check this group and you guys must be fairly PC savvy I'd like to use Internet Explorer because its supposed to be the most secure browser but I've always found it to be the most problematic browser. As an example I regularly use Fileshack to download demos and stuff but with IE its *always* slow to load and once the page is loaded then it performs poorly - in spite of smooth scrolling being enabled when I scroll down the page its jerky as hell. With Firefox or Chrome all pages load quick and work fine so whats the problem? This is on a re

Max and the Magic Marker

All of the true innovation is happening in indie games these days. The concept here is quite forward thinking if not amazing. I haven't played the game yet because its $20 on Steam and this feels like something I might wait for the inevitable $10 sale, but lately I think I'm getting my money's worth for these bargain indie games. It sort of takes me back to the roots of the Atari 8bit and Atari ST days, but with much updated technology. The best part I think is the new ideas that the better technology enables? Whoever pulled off this particular concept, assuming it's as it looks,

Let's Make the Perfect Zombie-pocalypse Game!

(I accidentally started this thread in cspig.rpg but think it fits in better with this group so I am reposting it here) --- I was playing STALKER- Call of Pripyat the other day and -as I was wandering through the abandoned city-streets- it occurred to me that with a little bit of modding the game could be used to simulate the post-zombie-apocalypse. And that got me to thinking; if I could write the perfect zombie game, what would it include? Mind you, there have been a number of good zombie-games released (Left4Dead of course is the one that springs most easily to mind) but in m

Splinter Cell: Conviction

This is the 5th Splinter Cell game. All the previous games had the same general style in all respects. The point to make about this SC:Conviction is that it is significantly different in every respect. It's (say) "Max Payne" 2.5 ..."Just Cause Again" ....maybe even "Blood 2" .. or even "Soldier of Fortune" without the level variety. It has a story center of Sam Fisher tracking down the killers/kidnappers of his kid daughter. It is Checkpoint save only...in this case a really,really big game wrecker IMO. The stealth aspects are there but secondary to the shooter n run n hid

Portal for free till 24. May

Steam is doing some advertising for Steam-for-Mac and is releasing free Portal licences for Windows and Mac until 24. May. I think Portal is one of the most innovative genres of the last 20 years and a real sensation for free. Create a steam account, search for Portal, click on play/install. Done. Whoever doesn't get a free portal is a moron. No exceptions. Christian Brandt

Did Rockstar use pirate game code for Steam Max Payne 2?

"According to an eagle-eyed game buyer, Rockstar could have caused themselves quite a bit of embarrassment when they made Max Payne 2 available on Steam. A close examination of the game's executable reveals that it contains the ASCII text logo of game piracy group Myth." http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1263556 http://torrentfreak.com/did-rockstar-use-pirate-game-code-for-max-payne-2-on-steam-100512/

Red Dead Redemption GameInformer Review 9.75/10

It may be GTA on horses but still... a few more good reviews from actual gamers and I'll be sold. "To succeed where other Western games have failed, Red Dead Redemption deftly recreates a sandbox playground of a tumultuous historical period swept away by technological progress. The game perfectly captures the expansiveness of frontier life and the gritty gunplay of spaghetti westerns, rightfully earning its place alongside the great Western films and the best Rockstar games." http://imgur.com/3MIUkl&uWSk0 <-- part 1 http://imgur.com/3MIUk&uWSk0l <-- part 2

Amnesia: Dark Descent preorders 50% off til 5/11!

For $10, this is a very good deal for a 3D adventure game with some limited action :) http://amnesiagame.com/#main Steam users will be given codes to activate the game on steam on release, so no need to wait til it appears on steam. You adventure-only people should also check out the Penumbra series. They are pretty easy puzzle-wise, but the plot is decent, and fully 3D environments have gotta be a breath of fresh air after billions of 2D point&click games -- I mean, come on :) rms

STALKER Call of Pripyat

Unlike many people in this newsgroup, I never really liked STALKER. I loved the concept -Russians are masters of the post-apocalypse!- but the actual implementation was disappointing. The wonky A-Life, the lack of direction, the patchwork levels, the unsatisfying combat: it all combined into a sub-par experience. Still, after playing Metro 2033 last month, I decided I had to give STALKER another try. Well, not the original "Shadow of Chernobyl" -I think I've given up on that game- but the recently released "Call of Pripyat"; after all, one would assume that with the third iteration o

The future of gaming?

This is where the industry wants to take us. http://business.scotsman.com/business/All-profits-bulletin-Scots-computer.6266334.jp APB, which looks like it might be the ultimate casual multiplayer game, is following a pay as you play model. In just the same way as the music industry want us to pay every time we listen to a track, or perhaps any media industry that wants to create something once then charge us all many times for its use (think buying albums on vinyl, cassette, CD, download etc.), the gaming world will want us all to follow the MMO model.
