Breed Demo
by Maarten Goldstein, May 23, 2003 8:36am PDTAfter many delays, the Breed demo is finally here. The demo is a 142mb download, and it's not exactly clear what's included, though it is singleplayer only. Thanks BreedFiles. It's recommended that you have a 1.5Ghz machine, 256mb of RAM and a 64mb Direct3D compatible videocard that supports hardware T&L to play the game.

Comments
-Felt like it was chugging along on my system, while other games with comparable graphics don't.
-Enemy design sucks. Oooh stupid robot menz are running at me. And suddenly they do a right summersault for like 50 feet.
-Tutorial is lame. The guy's voice sounds like someone took a cheese grater to his vocal chords. And ATTN: German Devs HUD is pronounced "huh" not "hood". Those are nitpicks but overall the tutorial is really lame. Makes you run crazy distances for some reason. Plus on the sniper orientation you have to kill 3 guys in 40 seconds or whatever but you start on the opposite side of the platform from where they are from. So it is very nonintuitive to find wtf they are. Oh and the super challenge at the end takes literally 5 seconds.
-The mission design sucked pretty bad too. Had to shoot radar panels, but you had to shoot each individual panel off this tower. I had literally one little panel left and the thing detected me. Ok furthermore I was using the so called "UBER GUN" against a turret and I died real quick while the turret continued to fire. Then it was just running while some artilery turret fired wildly at me.
-AI sucked. My favorite part was when I had climbed up a tower with two of my AI buddies. I then switched to the other guy at the bottom and started running away from the tower assuming that my AI buddies would climb down the tower and follow. Instead the just start walking towards me and fall off the tower gg.
-Viewbob is crazy.
Eh I could go on. This thing really has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. One would think that the devs would try to highlight the cool parts of the game in the demo, but apparently not.
Leave FPS development to the Americans or the Eastern Europeans, Western Europe seems to suck at it.
