Postal 2 Preview
by Maarten Goldstein, Mar 21, 2002 3:41pm PSTHey who knew, Postal 2 is an actual game. Gamespot has the first preview of the game with screenshots, which shows that the Running With Scissors guys aren't just doing immature interviews. For those not in the know, Postal 2 uses the latest Unreal tech and will be an FPS game this time around.
One of the weapons that you can wreak havoc with in Postal 2 will be a gas can, and its contents will run down walls, splash, and form puddles just like you'd expect it to do. Alt-click on your mouse, and your character will flick a match that will ignite the gas stream that you previously created, causing a small line of fire to race along the trail until exploding in a giant fireball once it reaches a puddle. "You can do so much with just this one weapon," says Fouts. "One of our favorite techniques is to run circles around people with the gas can and watch them fry."

And then I realized it wasn't a mod made by 2 13 year olds in their basement.
then I just laughed sadly.
This has got to be the most amateurish looking POS I've seen since... good lord, I don't know when. Hope they can sell it on hype and their cutting edge interview style, cause the game looks like total crap.
If this ends up anything like the description, it may be fun. :) Hmm.. I'm still deciding on whether I should bother with a PS2 and GTA3. :)

killing bad guys cause your a "hero" - ala Kate Archer, or James Bond or Doom Marine is ok - it has storyline and it's fun.
but killing NORMAL people for no reason but it's fun well - hey .. fuck - that's bad.
i mean not even hollywood could release a movie with a guy just randomly killing people (clockwork orange) and not have major problems.
