They Hunger: Lost Souls Announced

after playing Fear.....HL2 is ugly lol. Im amazed at the Jupitor EX engine. I play fear with all options High and 4x Antico and makes HL2 look ugly plus the story is superb.

This game just looks terrible....does HL2 look that bad? cant remember been away since i played it.

You know, Steam is an interesting thing. I only accept it because it's the only one of it's kind worth anything. But what if every major game developer had one of these? Do you realize how much of a pain in the ass that would be, and how many resources would be sucked? I love what it's doing for the mod community, getting them some well deserved cash for their efforts, but I really don't know where all of this is going.

I guess what the game industry needs is a good third party steam that doesn't simultaneously put out competiting games. If I were a major game developer, I sure as hell wouldn't trust Valve to publish my game.

WHY...MUST...WE...HUNGER?!

Things I want in a zombie game.

1. head shots put them down instantly.

2. Some sounds that are actually creepy. Not the same "aargh" or "uuugh" over and over again. Yeah thats really the only sounds a zombie makes but they can still be better. Like when a head crab zombie gets set on fire for example. Their scream is awesome.

3. NO SLAPPING. Games like doom3 and the LOTD demo that have these zombies that try to beat you up instead of devouring your flesh are LAME. Weapons are ok I guess. A zombie trying to bash your face with a pick axe would be pretty creepy as long as its well done like the chainsaw guys in RE4.

Even though they weren't zombies I think the villagers in RE4 made better zombies than any zombie I've ever seen in a game. It is fuckn CRAZY when the guy with the chainsaw comes up behind you screaming his head off as he comes after you. I think thats what I want most. More intensity. Slow moving is ok But when they get a hold of you I want to see some insane anamalistic ferocity ya know? Not hands slapping me in the face. Whos with me!

did USS Darkstar just not get that much love? I always thought that was better than the They Hunger series...

Dear Valve:

If you read this: PLEASE FUCKING FIX SOURCE. I CAN NOT PLAY SOURCE GAMES. LOOPING SOUND CRASH.

Thank you.

Sounds great, I liked the other Neill Manke Mods.

I have more fond memories of TH1-3, than the original HL1 game. I'm glad to see Neil Manke getting his due.

WTG Neil! Can't wait to see this.

The They Hunger series was so, so good. Nothing like the intensity of hordes of zombies coming at you and you actually have to conserve your ammo for fear of running out. Oh, and every scripted sequence/gameplay senario was incredibly inventive. I'm hoping this bad boy can give us the best zombie game experience since Resident Evil 4!!!

Intriguing that it's commercial and blatantly using loads of HL2 assets... but that's part of the charm I guess. Good team behind it too.

This is going to fucking rock! I think the sub title is rubbish though, too generic.

Guess Normality is doing things away from the shack at the moment, otherwise he'd have already asploded all over this thread.

I loved They Hunger for the venerable HL engine. To date I think it was the best first person Zombie experience to be had, granted... not a lot of competition, but it was great for what it was.

Playing something as atmospheric, only professionally produced on the Source engine makes my pants tight.

I've played They Hunger 1 + 2, but I must have missed the third one... Time to load up the 'ol HL

Need more Zombie variety..just look at the lastest movie Land of the Dead and you'll see what I mean...

Hopefully headshots kill these zombies.

I've talked to Neil Manke off and on for years. I've always been a fan of They Hunger. I'm glad to see it go next gen.

I bet Normality is creaming himself right now...

Fucking yes.

I was wondering what Neil Manke was doing these days.

Seems he loves himself the zombies.
