Most Anticipated Games

MAG, lol. One, count it, ONE released screenshot, probably rendered.



I have high hopes, though...it's made by Zipper.

i really want to play Rule of Rose, i heard it's realy good.

The game is very interesting, albeit quite disturbing.
I never got past this fish bitch, oh well...

Anyway, gameplay is slow and get tedious, but the story is very interesting, but if you're into fast moving characters and gameplay, its not really a game for you.

Its just a disturbing game about a girl who stumbles upon a group of girls that live on their own and have their own rules, torturing the ones at the bottom of the group.
The group are full of young girls though, and it has some lesbian stuff in it (Nothing graphic, just in notes), thats supposedly why it was banned here.

zipper, the guys that made socom, hmm, i hope this game is better than socom.

i like mostly all genres, but im still not sure on Rule Of Rose and Eternal Darkness.

but they look pretty good though.

Get Eternal Darkness. It's one of the best standalone games I've ever played. That and Mass Effect. I bought it not knowing what to expect, and was blown away by it. I love it.

I thought Eternal Darkness got repetitive by the 3rd or 4th Chapter, it was pretty much the same stuff, while the intro and the first 2 chapters I thought were great, and had some pretty creepy moments for its time, I found the rest of the game pretty much was me running around hacking things to ribbons trying to find the next forced scare.

What makes you think it's rendered?

Tread carefully about Eternal Darkness. Like I said, the three big letdowns for me were the bad graphics, the sluggish gameplay and the ending.
So don't expect too much from those aspects of the game.

i don't really care for graphics at all, but gameplay is a big issue, what is bad about it?

[Alexia_Ashford]

The graphics weren't terrible. Given it was a GameCube game and there could have been a lot more done with it, but it's still definately playable. The gameplay really isn't that different from Resident Evil - select your target with R, and aim up, down, or in the middle. Except with this you can select bodyparts and use spells. Valentine, if you didn't find the original Resident Evil's gameplay to be a pain in the ass (by the originals I mean RE1-3), you won't have any problem with it. I also found nothing wrong with the ending.

[The Dude]

I thought Eternal Darkness was just a N64 game which was ported to GC during Development and tarted up somewhat for the console?

[Darkmoon]

Basically, if you like HP Lovecraft you have a good chance of enjoying Eternal Darkness. It has a very similar vibe to Cthulhu.

[Alexia_Ashford]

That's what the game was based on, Denis Dyack is quoted as saying the whole game is very "Lovecraftian". Instead of "Old Ones", it's the Ancients, and the game has its own version of the Necronomicon. The story is focussed on the concept of sanity as well. It's very interesting, and I love it. The game was what made me buy the Necronomicon as well and it's a very good read.

[Darkmoon]

...someone wrote up a version of the Necronomicon? That must be fun. Do they make it look like an old version or something?

Well, I find the characters run kind of slowly. I dunno, sometimes it's almost like they're trying to run through water, for the slower characters.

I felt like the ending was rushed... Either that, or they got lazy. Maybe I'm just spoiled, but I feel like after beating a game like that, it would've been nicer to be rewarded with something a bit more elaborate. A cool cinematic would've been nice.

Look, all I'm saying is, if you do get it, don't get your hopes up. Then maybe you won't be disappointed like I was.

Erm... You are aware, they're not talking about the Evil Dead Necronomicon, right?

[Alexia_Ashford]

No, it's basically a compilation of HP Lovecraft's Work, including the Cthulu work and a lot of his other stories. Very interesting.

[Darkmoon]

I assume they're talking about the Lovecraft Necronomicon...which is a fictional book. In fact, as far as I know, there is no real version. And since all the Lovecraft ones are supposed to be, at best, 200 years old...

Edit: Now that I would love to buy. Mmm, Cthulhu.
