Thanks Sal, I've been waiting for that one!
111MB, it's a big one, will have to leave the PC on while I go to work.

[Sirc]

Somebody start a server! :w00t:

[Slash]

:bandhead: Umm, I downloaded it and it fried my os. Reinstalling now.

[Sauron]

Downloading it right now

[Sirc]

W00t! Playing it now. The crossbow rocks! :jammin:

Very, very much like SS. Dang, I hope it's not using the same engine. I'm looking forward to multiplayer.

*cough* Slash *cough* :angel:

[Slash]

If I can get my box back up, I'll try to run a server.

[JIMINATOR]

Does the demo offer a multiplayer level (or two?)
If so, :jammin: :jammin: :jammin:
I'll see you tonight!

Yes!

Thanks Slash, that would be great! :wootrock:

It's pretty mindless, just like SS. Fun though. :thumbs:

Mindless??
Sounds like they made it just for me&#33; :P

[Saretta]

This mp level is quite interesting.

And those enemies are really funny in sp.

[Slash]

There is no dedicated server option. :WTF: Hence, I cannot serve. My servers won&#39;t even install the game because of poor video cards. :bandhead:

[Sauron]

Server is down again sorry and it seems like the game can&#39;t find any servers yet

[Sirc]

I finished the single player part. :thumbs:

Dang, you would have thought they would have some dedicated servers up. :bandhead:

[Sirc]

Has anyone figured out how to get the stuff on top of the statues? :blink:

[OUTLAWS WHOCARES]

no server.
Looks like Sam.

Where up here :oooo:

[Sirc]

:lol: Um, yeah. :P

[EXEcution]

Looks sweet&#33; :jammin:

[Grimmy]

Just played for a bit. Looks awesome. Feels pretty close to sam single player. The weapons are kewl too, I like that acid gun :shifty: I will have to add this to my game collection :thumbs: :thumbs:

[OUTLAWS WHOCARES]

Pretty sweet.
you would think they would have servers up.
:down:
Feels like Sam. I like it.
Has anyone figured out how to get a 3rd person view?

[SALvation]

Just read that it has co-op like Sam. Nice.

u can get there by using one of the teleporters

[Sirc]

The single player game is SO much like SS that I kinda wonder if it&#39;s the same engine. There are parallels to everything. Including the bulls that knock you into the air and the lava guys that break into smaller guys when you kill them. Its like only the skins have been changed.

And the rats that explode when they touch you. :hmmm:

[JIMINATOR]

take a look in the directory paths and see if they use .gro & .wld files...

[Sirc]

Nope, the files are different.

There doesn&#39;t seem to be a 3rd person mode, or any way to talk in multiplayer. :hmmm:

[OUTLAWS WHOCARES]

I noticed that as well.
Does it seem weird to turn with the mouse.
Almost a hesitation.

[OUTLAWS WHOCARES]

Gonna try to host a game.
Can&#39;t tell ya how it&#39;s gonna run.
IP is 24.233.160.129
It looks like you are gonna have to manually put the ip in.
Anyone wanna try?

[Sirc]

I can&#39;t now, but I&#39;d like to try later tonight if you&#39;re still up for it.

great :w00t:

[Saretta]

Doesn&#39;t work :bawling: I get "client create timeout" all the time

[Sirc]

I got in, but it was unplayable. WAAAAAAY too laggy. Don&#39;t know if it was Whocare&#39;s server or the game. It felt an awful lot like the 1.50 patch. People disapearing into walls. About a 2 second delay in firing. It took me 5 tries just to change weapons.

Not good. :bandhead:

[OUTLAWS WHOCARES]

Part my server. The rest is the game.
I was the host and had mad lag. Also had a nice weapon delay as well.
Did you notice how much it felt like 1.50

[Me(UK)]

You got that right Sirc 1.50 was easier to play than this. Who ran thru walls then reappeared, you try to change weapons and nothing happens or you run to a door won&#39;t open at the first few attempts. Not too good :(

[Fred Bear]

i&#39;m downloading it now.

[Sirc]

This has got to be based on the SS netcode with 1.50 patch. :lol:

I hope they didn&#39;t pay too much for it. -sigh-

Sirc&#39;s hopes, they are dashed. :unsure: :bawling:

[Sirc]

This is from the UbiSoft forums:


The game is on it&#39;s own netcode and runs on the Saber 3D engine.

And it&#39;s supposed to be released in June. :bandhead:

[OUTLAWS high ping camper]

Crap&#33; :bandhead:
I was really looking forward to a new (multiplayer) game to play. :WTF:
Oh well, maybe Will Rock2 will be better. :rofl:

EDIT: Oh yeh, I downloaded the game this morning and installed it tonight. It said "you need Direct x9 to play, would you like to install it now?" I said yes.
But when I went to play the game, it said I needed Direct X9&#33; :)
I went to Microsoft&#39;s site and downloaded it, and the game played just fine....too bad about multiplayer though..........poop.

[OUTLAWS Tip]

Well I hope they can fix the multiplayer. I like the game playing single player, but that would not be enough for me to buy the game.
:bawling:

[FASTway]

WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH THIS GAME?

How do you search for servers for deathmatch????
I was getting some weird jumpy lag as well.

I want to try this game&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

Um, forget it. Its due out in June. No way they are gonna fix the netcode before then.

[Fred Bear]

It&#39;s a OK game. Remineds me of SS . Not bad. I would like to play the multiplayer part of it.

From the sound of this thread it seems multiplayer is totally unplayable. :WTF:

I couldn&#39;t even find a damn server to play on.
Like I am supposed to know what IP to type in. :WTF:

But running around in my own server was fun.
This game may have potential. :hmmm:

[JIMINATOR]

yeah, you have to start your own and post the ip,
or msn some people that have it also. kind of sucks.
if the netcode is poor, then I have doubts as to
the viability...

[Grimmy]

How much you want to wager that Will Rock will have a better netcode then sam, and I bet they come out with a patch with in the first month. How long did it take Croteam to come out with 1.07?? And well look how they fixed it, 1.50 :down:

[SALvation]

Interesting news from their developer:

"There will be an updated demo with internet support and some fixes out very soon. This demo was not intended for mass release online. We should be releasing it within a week.

Stay tuned&#33;"

[JIMINATOR]

anybody notice that the weapon models look like flat 2-D images?
No biggie, but not impressive...

Coolio&#33; :thumbs:

[mod]

this game is ok im looking forward to playing the game the shovel isnt that great though... :lol:

[Burn the Witch]

You think this game is OK? Well each to his/her own, but this is not a game I would buy, the Single Player is like massively waterdown SS, and poor old Will cant even climb steps&#33; The enemies are lame, except the Skeletons (which Sam did first anyway).


This game reminds me of Blood 2.....Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez and Blood 2 was crappy even when it came out.
