Two More SoF2 Shots

Heh, glad to see you guys have such long thought out arguements. You still have a passion for PC games. I lost mine after Q3A.

Gotta agree with teh potato on this one - realistic games are fine if you like that sort of thing, but for me they're just too....normal. Recognisable places, themes, combats - stuff you could have seen in a thousand films or tv programs, stuff that actually happens in RL (though you'd rarely get to experience it).

But with sci-fi/fantasy/unreal themes, the escapism is so much stronger, it's so much more detached from the mundane reality that games provide a fun counterpoint too, there's so many more themes to explore.

And on the subject of doing any old weirdo shit in an unreal game and getting away with it simply because it doesn't have to be realistic, there was a great quote from an interview with Clive Barker (about Undying), when he highlighted the importance of making fantasy worlds convincing and logical, no matter how weird they are. The idea being that such worlds have their own rules of coherency, their own internal logic, so that whatever happens makes sense and fits naturally *within that setting*, even if that setting is utterly different to reality.

Sorry that this post is poorly written, the ideas aren't coming out how I hoped...

Looks pretty dull to me :/
The enviroment is stale and lifeless lighting is awful. I know right now the technology isnt in place for games to do dynamic real time lighting, but there is a difference between making the best of what you've got and not bothering. Weapon models are beautiful, very detailed. Enemies are not bad, nicley skinned but all identical : /

does the shack ever get exclusive shots?

Not to be picky, but I hope they change that weapon on the ground so it looks like its laying down on the ground.

IF YOU UPDATED THE NEWS BEFORE 8 PM INSTEAD OF SPENDING THE ENTIRE DAY IDLING, YOU MIGHT GET SENT MORE SHOTS.

I bet you're the type of guy who'd do a guy up the ass and not have the common curtesy to give him a reach around!
