by Steve Gibson, Jul 25, 2000 6:24am PDTThere hasnt been an official announcement but it looks like the Sanity demo from Monolith Productions has been released. You can grab it from Real.com (exclusive there for 1 week, thanks GA-Source) Here are a few screenshots of the game in action to look at, if someone downloads it and plays it let us know what you think eh? Looks pretty neeto, and Psycho Circus kinda renewed my faith in LithTech.

After trying the singleplayer I even went online and got on one of the 3 servers running this game and joined and waited for somebody to join so I could throw a spell on them or whatever. But nobody ever joined and so I left.
The ice-T voice was particularly annoying. I don't think I will play this demo again...
fuckin shit...
-KRAZED-
is Linear
has piss-poor dialogue
has stupid puzzles/plot twists (ooh, a psychic child suddenly shows up to give you an all-important mind reading device, HOW ZANILY CONVENIENT)
HAS THE WORST FUCKING VOICE ACTING I'VE HEARD IN A LONG TIME
is fucking frustrating (power plant room anyone? and since it takes like 3 minutes to load a game on my machine, it sucks that you'll die a few hundred times in that one room)
has a pretty lame camera system... i got used to it, but it's pretty lame.
therefore, Black Jesus will compromise and warez it when it comes out.

That's the lamest thing I've seen in a while.
Problems : POV thing, you get used to it, it works ok, and it sucks with keyboard control so how about an option to turn it off? And let us postition the camera? Keyboard control is buggy. Sometimes I hit backward and go forward. Sometimes I hit forward and don't go anywhere at all.
Gameplay is pretty decent. I want to play multiplayer, as it looks like that might be really cool.
Some annoying shit in single-player mode -- the power core room in the temple map was completely unneccessary. What is that, a NES "puzzle"? I died 10+ times in there trying to figure out which ones I could run through and which ones I couldn't. Plus it's non-obvious which ones you can and cannot run through, they all look the same...
Then in the next room there is a parody of one of the "talk to a then b then c then d ... [etc] ... then z" puzzles. It was kind of ironic.
I think I'd like to see a turbo mode too, it feels slow.
Overall it seems pretty fun aside from some minor problems, I'll probably pick it up, especially if multiplayer winds up being cool.

The POV bugged me to kingdom come as well but I suppose you would get used to it after a while. I didn't tho.
I can't for the life of me understand why Monolith lists "Features the voice of Ice-T as Cain" as one of the good things about this game?? Quite possibly the worst voice-acting done in a long time.
I'll try it out in MP later on when my bro and our friend shows up but so far it only gets a so-so from me. It's different but that doesn't automatically means that it's good...
Just so you know where I'm coming from: I play FPS and racing games (MCM2! Yeah!) primarly but enjoy Diablo II quite a bit. MDK2 and Deus EX are the latest games I'm playing (and liking). Never was much for RTS.

Then come back here and ask me why, exactly, I would start shelling out 5-7 bucks a pop for "virtual booster packs" of "virtual cards".
I guess maybe it's not too bad a deal, but still, this game would have to kick ass for me to shell out that kinda cash for extra packs...
So now I'm gonna go play it and see if it kicks ass or not. =)

doh!
a download one minute before i gotta leave the house.
yeeeehaw!
The concept is certainly cool, though. The collectible cards and stuff are a great dynamic [or seem to be, at least].
/me will try this game
