Mortyr Demo Downloadable

#51 Have you been asleep for a year, the engine is severely dated, the sounds are pathetic; I think the architecture is a step above doom. All in all this game is not worth the cd they are going to print it on. I think they should have tried using the \'build\' engine. the game might be better.

NICE CASTLE

BUT THE GAME SUCKS MY BALLS

Well, here\'s my thoughts.
I think the game has a lot of potential, but it also has a few very major flaws that will keep me from buying it. The fact that it\'s being released in poland in 2 weeks makes me think that these issues will be not be addressed by the time that they find a publisher for the states.
Things I liked: I think the engine looks great. It may be the use of lighting or the architecture, but I think it looks better than Unreal, IMO. I also really like the architecture, and the environmental effects. Well, effect, really, there was just the snow in the demo. I liked the crunching on the snow, that was nicely immersive.
Stuff that will keep me from buying it: As good as the game looks, there are some pretty severe problems with cracks on the polys. Maybe it\'s my V2\'s, but bullet holes look like big black lines in the walls from a distance. I thought I was cracking the wall and had found a secret, but they disapeared when I walked up close. Also the engine has a lot of wiggle when you\'re holding still. I guess they put in a mild bob to simulate breathing like in Unreal, but it makes stuff jitter really bad. A couple of graphic glitches I might be able to overlook, but that wiggling crosshair. That\'s a bunch of crap. I don\'t care if they\'re trying to make it more realistic by making it harder to aim while moving... If I wanted realistic then I\'d play Rainbow 6. Or even paintball. I do appreciate that the crosshair is accurate, reguardless of how far away what you\'re aiming at. I mean, if you walk up to a wall, the crosshair is right at the tip of your barrel, but I just can\'t play a game like that. Too many years of everything from quake to Unreal has acclimated me to an absolutely positioned crosshair. The other thing that bugs me is the movement. The walking speed seems inconsistent, and I really dislike the strafe/run at 45 degrees to move twice as fast bit. That\'s just dumb. Who runs like that? I think it\'s fun to exploit an oversite like the strafe jumping in Quake 2, but I found myself running down long halls in Mortyr sideways to cover ground more quickly. :P Anyway, that\'s my 2 cents.

So I downloaded the demo (the language question was a good enough motivation)... and the Nazis are definitely not speaking Polish. Must be german, with bad accent.

As to the game itself, it\'s not as bad as I expected it to be. The sounds have GOT to go, though :)

My previous comment was, of course, a reply to #42 and #44

I *really* doubt the Nazis spoke polish :)

#40 I thought it sounded quite like a seal or sea lion. I was running around under water looking for the beach ball to bounce on my nose!

Ackk!! How do you assign the middle mouse button on my logitech mouseman? Also, how to increase the brightness??

I dunno I think it needs allot of work,but I think it is cool to run around killing those goosesteppers.I do have allot of gripes about it,like problems setting it up on my 3 button logitech,and of coarse that jump,hehe.I do know it is a dem,and they will probably(I hope so).I am not gonna give up hope yet on this one,I think it still has a chance.To be a fun playable game.Oh and far as a wolf(or doom clone????)I think any nazi killin\' game are gonna be labled this,I do not see it really.What only B.J. is allowed to kill nazis awwwwww.....

anybody else think it was weird when you would walk he would be all slow,but if you strafe and walk forward he would haul ass???

Damn, I\'m still trying to figure out what those Nazis are saying...and I\'m German ;)
At least this game proves that Germans usually grunt like a werewolf in a \'30s B horror movie when they jump...

This guy jumping sounds like Tim Allen with a hemeroid problem.....WTF?!?!

I would have to say this is the best wolfenstein version I have ever played.

#35 - Well said. I think that what the gaming community needs is a little more independent thought. I\'ve had enough of this \"Well, he doesn\'t like it, so I won\'t like it\" mentality. Or \"<so and so> said it was l33t, so it is\" shit. I\'m not saying that I\'m giving up on the community, just the under 15\'s :)

That is, of course, not to say that they\'re all like that. (I hope :))

I forgot this:

\"Damnit, I forgot. This was the one place on the entire internet that I wasn\'t alowed to voice my opinion without getting some sarcastic comment. Sorry about that.\"

And that wasn\'t sarcasm...? 9)

#31: Nah, sarcasm is so much more fun. You managed get it but others, who most likely isn\'t as sharp as you are, might just as well have gone ballistic and started to proclaim that \"I might as well go suck Epics cock then!\". You get a lot more information about people when you use sarcasm.

The anonymity of the Internet swings both ways. For all I know you could be a 15 year old hacker-wannabe who likes the net because he can dish out his opinions, no matter how badly put, in any situation and get by with it. Or you could be a 38 year old art and philosophy professor who just happens to go to GamesCon and not like UT... 8)

This environment makes it very easy to misinterpret things as well. On more, shall we say, \'neutral\' grounds I might not have looked upon your post as the obligatory UT bash/Q3A praise. Although the Shack is labeled a \'gaming news site\' I sometimes wonder why id doesn\'t point www.quake3arena.com here and get rid of their own site... 9)

Thanks for a curteous reply, appreciated.

If you still want the demo go over to 3dfiles.com
They have tons of servers to d/l from.

Ok, maybe I am ignorant. That first line of the second paragraph is supposed to say \"I\'m not a preacher of the quake3 religion\". Martin, you could be right about me :)

#29() - Damnit, I forgot. This was the one place on the entire internet that I wasn\'t alowed to voice my opinion without getting some sarcastic comment. Sorry about that.

I\'m a preacher of the quake3 religion. Nor am I saying that it\'s not something I\'m looking forward too. I\'m also looking forward to TF2, tribes 2, and a host of other non-fps\'ers. I\'m just saying that there are games that might not live up to they hype they\'ve been generating. I\'m not very impressed with Mortyr just like I\'m not very impressed with UT. I could be completely wrong. The full games could come out and blow me away. I\'m just not giving them any points from what I\'ve seen already.

You think I\'m ignorant? Fine, just come out and say it. Don\'t hide behind sarcasm.

DOH! Meant #23, not #24. Sorry... 8/

#24: Deleteing the avi? Replacing it with another one?

#27: Glad to see you managed to bash UT, just what this thread lacked. I do miss something along the lines of \"I wish this game would have been Quake 3 because then it would have ROCKED!!\". Perhaps you can post that later though...

-- Martin

I played an alpha/beta version of this at GamesCon, and it looked better than this. (I don\'t remember the jump-sound though. Could do without that for sure.) Was about as impressed with it as I was with UT.

Which is not much.

Wasn\'t this supposed to be that great looking game? Like, remember the screen shot with the lighting going through the staind glass window, and it reflected on the floor or whatever? Now I see all these people saying that the engine looks dated. What happened? (I have yet to d/l it.)
