NOLF2 Screenshots

I really enjoyed nolf!!!

I tried a little of the avp2 single player demo, did nothing for me...

will eagerly await nolf2!!

here's hoping there is as much or more unique content in the game... the guard conversations and the text of the intelligence items and stuff... they really added a lot of context and colour to the game.

Shots look great! Of course they're not up too par with Unreal 2 or DOOM 3, but IIRC, the engine costs a lot less. If licensees are able to pump out games of such quality as NOLF and AvP2, then I see no need to concentrate on upping the graphics. The gameplay in those two games are miles ahead of any FPS currently on the market, and are two of my favorite shooters released(NOLF being my all time).

GG Monolith, I can't wait for NOLF 2, easily my most anticipated title of next year.

No One Sucks Forever, LOL. Graphics were not bad, but the game sucked ASS. It was ridiculous to the bone. FPS should be scary, in the style of DooM, Quake, AvP. Or at least military style. But that sixties action crap was plain hilarious and nothing else. Exactly like that kind of movie one could watch just to find another fine example of Old God Awful Crap (TM).
I couldn't find anything immersive in that game, it was constantly reminding me it's just trying to make fun out of everything.
Imagine you're playing Doom and then instead of the cyberdemon there comes a fat opera singer.
Yuck.

I also love how people bag the nolf engine for being "out of date" and so on.

I swear to christ these people pick this up from web boards such as the shack "oh if it has ONE less featue than the Q3 engine it must be 1996 code"

for JEBUS SAKES.

Nolf looks in MY opinion (and SEVERAL friends) EXCELLENT - the graphics are not made up just by "an engine"

there's modelling / texture work / level design / lighting and I can assure you people - those with a PHAT system (GF2 pro or higher, 64mb to boot) and 1ghz + cpu's this game fucking owns for graphics

Sure Q3 can do better - but it's still mostly red / grey / brown / vomit.

FAKK2 and ST Voyager is the Q3 engine looking good, but none the less NOLF for it's time (over 12 months now) still looks nothing short of _EXCELLENT_ in high detail.

You could tell me it's the doom 1 engine, I wouldn't actually be silly enough (unlike most morons around it seems) to say "it looks dated gfx wise, fun game though" - if it looks great (as in really great) then hey jesus, who cares what engine it is, it MUST BE GREAT.

I also hold this PRECISE argument for Daikatana - it may not be the best game, but in SOME PARTS specifically the first level - the texture work - models - lighting and fog DEFINATELY didn't look Q2 to me AT ALL.

I swear if lith said "ok here's nolf our Q3 engine game" everyone would love it besides the mouse and net code
, or AT least admit it looks good rather than shrug it off as "it looks bad because it's lith"

This looks fucking great - I hope they fix the mouse code (YES I KNOW YOU EMAILED ME DAN FROM LITH, HOW CAN YOU NOT FULLY COMREHEND WHAT I MEAN, WOULD YOU LIKE TO CALL ME IN AUSTRALIA, I WILL EXPLAIN IT OVER THE PHONE WITHOUT HESITATION)

jebus.

awwww man
i dont know what kind of crack everyone was smoking when they praised the first game

is it just me... or were all those 'briefings' and cutsceens just TOO fucking long i just wanted to hop into the game and kill a few peeps, run around and hide from people and use the gadjets ... which you didnt really need to use that often anwyays =~(
that and a few of the missions were just down right fucking annoying

Damn their eyes, damn them I say. NOLF was a pretty fun game, but I want SHOGO 2!

Hey assholes!

Ever heard of "work in progress"?
Actually, probably never heard of "work", its what you do after high school..

Is NOLF2 coming out tomorrow? Nope, its a ways away and things are looking good
for such an early stage, doy!

Go back to praising TF2 and PC Halo :)

not even the original Unreal had this much colored lighting...damn...

Nolf1 was a highly stylistic, well developed (cept for the boring briefings) game.

Nolf2 will be eaten by Doom3, Unreal2, and DNF, and the bean counters know it so there is no way they will spend nearly as much time or buy as much talent as last time.

Pretty enough, those shots. I expect Lithtech will do quite well indeed.

What most fanboys don't grasp is that it's not having the "best" technology that matters. It's having the tech that developers will buy. PC developer decisions in this area are going to be increasingly guided by the flat market. The PC market is kaput: hardware manufacturers can't move their stuff even at all-time low prices.

People have to buy fancy hardware in sufficient numbers for games requiring that hardware to sell well. Since they're not doing so, and until they demonstrate again that they'll do so, lower-cost solutions like Lithtech that are tailored to existing tech (rather than to future tech, as Doom 3 is geared) are going to look more and more appealing to developers, and that's what's going to shape our gaming experience.

unless you've got an engine that's way better than all the others, screenshots aren't going to do any good

hmm is this a new engine, becuase to me it looks like a bad q3 mod.

is the sky suppose to be purple? It seems like there not even finished the map yet, why bother senting it out

alright ! loved the first part, the whole 007/seventies feel to it. It's true, not the highest level of details etcetera, but the game itself was nice.

Holy crap this is ugly! Are you folks who are praising this steaming piece of crap high or something????

i worked a lot with the lithtech 2 NOLF engine and editor.

these shots are an obvious huge improvement in visual splendor and whatnot.

NOT IMPRESSIVE !!!

looks nice : )


but probably going to be kind sad next to unreal 2 and doom3 stuff graphics wise. although the AVP2 terrain was quite impressive ! almost looked like the unreal 2 terrain! almost!

Dude! Throwing stars!!!!! http://www.shacknews.com/screens.x/nolf2//1/thumbs/Japan_Night.jpg

"Yes Sir, No Sir, err I mean Yes Sir"

That second thumbnail screenshot with the busted floor and purple sky reminds me of SANITY: AIKAN'S ARTIFACT...and no, that's not a good thing. The outdoor shot looks alright. eh whatever, I didn't dig NOLF 1 at all, and yeah, people say the full is so much better than the demo, and I've seen how a game can improve UNBELIEVABLY from demo to retail (ie. Hitman)), but I don't even dig the premise or theme of the game that much.

these shots look like boiled ass. i'm sure they don't do justice to the final product. NOLF was great, i can't wait for the sequel.

These screenshots remind me of space quest 4... is it just me?

heh

Why do textures in LithTech always look like ass? They seem to be able to get a decent amount of polygons pushed, but the textures still seem to be pre unreal-1 quality....

I think I have a painting of this in my living room.

Is that supposed to look good or something? I'm confused - it looks pretty "meh".

-J

Groovy baby, gro00ovy!

awesome, I loved the first one, can't wait

OOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooo

NOLF owned... but goddamn, drop the Lithtech engine. Its netcode sucks my nuts.

Well, LithTech is still kinda behind the Epic/id offerings, but shit, third best ain't bad. The visuals aren't distractingly bad, in fact I think they've been rather good from NOLF onwards, and recently they've had games with kick ass gameplay, so I'm not bothered. :)

The shots look... interesting. The low res doesn't help and it's blatantly early stuff, but the polycount looks up there, nice texturing and the lighting looks real nice to me too. But what do I know. ;)

exclusive shack content?

I'm still not convinced

looks good !
but everything is too bright here : http://www.shacknews.com/screens.x/nolf2//1/thumbs/111201_lithjupiter_4.jpg

OMG OMG OMG, sweet. NOLF sequel, uNF

--Valiance--
