Damn you Inside Gaming!!

[Merick]

I hate the fact that their playthough is actually making me consider picking this thing up...

perhaps its a nessasary evil

You're not the only one there. I fear for the day there's a big sale on Ride to Hell.

This game is actually pretty cool. The developers did a lot of things in the engine that were unique at the time, and even now are rarely/if ever done.

Well, some players here might be younger than this game is.

[HEAVY METAL ZOMBIE]

Great game for the price when i bought it

[Chack]

JoWood would be proud

I'm sure it's very reason was to promote the game despite the making fun of and hours of laughter it gave us watching Inside Gaming, there was a ulterior motive behind the playthrough. To get people to buy the game.

Go ahead and laugh if you wish to. If you looked carefully, you'd see what I'm talking about.

Too many LOL I know but it's really that funny.

I've yet to play a FPS that doesn't have laughable AI. The only games where I find them tolerable are arena shooters as the AI doesn't need to pretend to be "realistic". All they have to do is be accurate and move.

I was speaking more about some interesting effects in the engine like dynamically lit particle effects, tesselated water surface that reacts to gunfire impacts, hybrid static/dynamic lighting and shadowing, realistic glass/wood breakables engine, environmental effects (environment impacts scope ring [fog, ice, dirt, etc], emissives from bullet impacts (shoot pipes or pressured glass windows), etc. A lot of these things are absent entierly from modern games/engines. It is a sad testatment to the negative impact of console gaming.

The engine also is capable of rendering very large areas with long viewsheds with minimal performance cost. They did some really awesome things behind the scenes in the CloakNT engine, which is made even more impressive by the fact that the engine was created in-house from the ground up.

sure but to blantely know how obviously bad it is and then release the game has got to say something about the developers quality of work. It's either like he gave up or just didn't care. I mean if I knew how to code A.I or whatever I would never release product like that with my name on it.

It is a nearly 11 year old game. Are you being serious right now?

[DjShIzz]

Steam Version Suuuucks! I picked it up on Steam and it couldnt even launch! I literally tried everything! and I mean everything! =D So I gave up...
Seen it and Bought it over on GOG for $1 and it works like a Charm! Not one issue.

Plus RIGHT NOW its on GOG for only $1.74 or something like that! Cheers!

what does a 11 year old game have to do with a game that is plauged with glitchy A.I at a state of nearly broken and I'm not one to use the word broken in games a lot

[yeeyoh]

One of my all time favorite games. Huge levels, great graphics (for the time yes but still doesn't look to shabby with everything maxed out, one of the longest games I've played.... Great FPShooter.
