New IGI2 Screenshots

by Maarten Goldstein, Nov 15, 2002 7:00am PST

Related Topics – IGI 2: Covert Strike, screenshots, Codemasters

Codemasters has released several new IGI 2: Covert Strike screenshots today, showing the "enhanced" graphics of the game. IGI 2 is due out February 2003.

Innerloop, the team developing the stealth-themed first-person shooter, has invested additional time and resources in advancing the game's visual quality and level of detail. Displaying a remarkable enhancement over those seen to date, the new screenshots show IGI 2: Covert Strike to be very much worth the wait. The game's continued development is also benefiting the multiplayer mode, which will offer full team-oriented multiplayer gaming, with squads of up to eight players on both sides.

LOL HAHAHA! DOOM LOOKS BRETTAR THAM THIS!!! LOL!!!!!1

Bloody hell people itÃ¢Â€Â™s not that bad. Stop being so bloody spoilt and face the facts that not all dev teams have access to the latest Quake or DOOM engine. If your first judgment on a game is based on its graphic ability then IÃ¢Â€Â™m assuming you have all missed out on a lot of great games. The dev teams do their best.

Not every game released has to top the graphics charts to be considered any good.

IGI 1 is still sitting on my shelf uninstalled and unfinished. I really wanted to enjoy the first one, I really did. In the end, the lack of saves was absolutely brutal. It destroyed gameplay. You could deal with the respawing baddies if you didn't have to replay entire segments after dying. I know they've added limited saves to this game, but IMHO that is still lame. Did the ability to save anywhere destroy tension in games like HalfLife, System Shock or Deus Ex? Nyet!! (sp?)

Well, the first one was fun, sure. I don't see any real difference graphically over the first one here, and I think that the MP aspect of it will get lost in the crowd, especially with more ambitious titles out there like UT2 and BF1942, but I'll still get it. Might wait till CompUSA has it for $29 though.

IGI1 was pretty fun except for the respawning enemies, lack of save (and the corresponding tendency to force you to replay extended pieces of missions). For it's time, the engine was pretty good. Multiplayer would/will be nice. Let's hope IGI2 doesn't end up being abandonware like the first though. I'm still hesitant to buy it if they decided to fix all of IGI2's problems in IGI3. I know patches suck, but so do glaring flaws.

Perhaps it's fun, but don't release screenshots in 1600x1200 if the textures are like 128x128. It really does feel like the first game looks better than this.

That said, looks aren't too important, and I hope it's a fun game like the first.
