...has been completed on Niobe Easy level. Cant be bother to finish it on Ghost as really its a pretty poor game - slowly with more than two characters on screen at once, even with 640x480 mode.

Sorry wrong place...

Good news everyone! I really am THAT good...

I got 007 NightFire today - not a bad game at all while we're on the topic of games.

I thought enter the matrix was pretty good, i didnt have any slow down at all with all the options set to maximum, there are a few bugs mainly with shadows n other little things. It would be good if they released an SDK so you can make mods with it but its unlikely they'll do that.

I thought this game was amazing. However I bought this game for the XBox. It looks amazing and hardly any slow down at all. I especially like the Multiplayer part, I always win. Perhaps we will all look forward to The Matrix Online.

Vulcan Omega is closer than you think !

well i'm still anxious to find out what you think of it
i wanted to write that link for the Unreal2 -> 3 story, see what my imagination could do ... so i've decided to start all over again and this time look at every single detail see what i can possible use no matter how obscure.

infortunately my CDs aren't with me so guess i'm stuck writing stupid DLLs for a stupid people who don't deserve my wisdom hehee
(sorry an earlier topic and stupidity is ticking me off)

i though Nightfire was good, but i never played it on the PC only the PS2 - i think with a mouse&keyboard it'd of been a bit simple and boring, but the PS2 version reminded me of Goldeneye
Enter the Matrix is kinda like Max Payne though not just because of the engine (MaxFX does look better than ever) but also because that to really enjoy it you have to just want to senselessly kill people.
But i think the way you use Bullet-Time is actually the entire point in the game, if you don't learn to use it properly both Max & EtM will seem hard and just plain boring.

probably the best example i could give is in Max Payne when your at the Lobby of that Corporation (i forgets the name) and you have 3 guys firing Grenade Launcher. That entire section is close to impossible without using BT (and i was determined to do it without too lol) what makes the game is slowing down to take out the threats first do a flip and come out just to finish the job with a hail of bullets to the head
and the BT follow of the bullet when you get a Sniper shot dead on very satisfying.

only grip about both games is they're too linear and far too damned short... i mean there are some sections where it seems impossible and you'll get stuck for a while - but another approach and its simple as pie. When your just getting really into the stories all of a sudden its all over

Max Payne is a very fine game - whatever happened to the film that was supposed to be made of it ?

Max Payne ticked me off. It was a ok title all around but there were some rather annoying bits including the dream sequence.

ETM was interesting. I havent played it enough to really judge. I just think they could have done a lot better. There are some assets we used on the films that I think could be applied to the games to make them look better. Then we would have had to kill the entire Shiny staff after the production and that would not have been pretty.

Here are my cheap tricks for Max Payne lol:

Quote: "probably the best example i could give is in Max Payne when your at the Lobby of that Corporation (i forgets the name) and you have 3 guys firing Grenade Launcher. That entire section is close to impossible without using BT"


I believe it's possible to walk the length of the hall backwards and the enemies won't see you and hence you can go up the escalator and take them out nice and simple but where's the fun in that?

Quote: "Yes, the two dream parts were annoying..."


Dream #1: Stay with either the left or right wall the whole time and soon you'll reach the end.

Dream #2: Jump down left onto a platform just within sight and you should be a short distance from the exit.

I agree though, the dream levels were a little disturbing.


Oh, and Nightfire would be pretty damn good if it didn't have 2 minute loading screens every 5 minutes.

wtf? walk backwards and they don't see you... what kinda HitchHickersGuideToTheGalaxy fudged up logic did that come from??

i dunno about your version, but i tried that in mine ... and i died
MANY MANY MANY MANY TIMES

but then even when you do get to the end you have to turn to the side because guards come out the side door with jackhammers, plus the guys at the top can shoot directly down... so you'd die again (i know this because i made it by strafing to the end but was only possible once i'd taken out 2 of the guys.
