Info On Devastation Demo

Post by Mad Max RW »

<strong>[ -> N/A]</strong>

<html><body><P>I spotted an <A HREF=http://www.bluesnews.com/cgi-bin/articles.pl?show=556 target=_blank>announcement</A> at <A HREF=http://www.bluesnews.com/ target=_blank>Blue's News</A> about the upcoming Devastation multiplayer demo. First of all, the official release date is March 20 and will include two maps with various game-types. Arush Entertainment talks about the specifics:</P><blockquote><em>On March 20, ARUSH Entertainment, Groove Games and Digitalo plan to release a multiplayer demo of the just-finished FPS Devastation. The MP demo will contain two of the maps from the final version of the game, and will showcase Devastation's amazingly detailed levels, beautiful OFX Particles, and real world physics for maximum interactivity with the environment and objects in LAN and net games.


The demo will feature two multiplayer gametypes: Deathmatch, or "Streetwar," in the Embarcadero Depot locale, and Capture the Flag in the abandoned Union Rail Yard locale. Both maps are packed with powerful weapons and interactive objects like the powerful P*Laser and the remote-controlled Rat Drone.


One of the more interesting aspects of Devastation is the physics which can be enabled at the server level, giving players the ability to pick up and throw objects at opponents. Also at the server level is the ability to set up Arcade or Simulation type gameplay, giving players more choice and appealing to fans of both styles of play.


Devastation's MP demo will not be exclusive to any particular site, and you will be able to download it from many major sites and mirrors. So get ready for Devastation on March 20!</em></blockquote><P>There you have it. Also, <A HREF=http://www.bluesnews.com/ target=_blank>Blue's</A> features <A HREF=http://www.bluesnews.com/screenshots/ga ... /20030313/ target=_blank>two new screenshots</A> from the demo. The full game is still scheduled to hit stores everywhere March 25.</P></body></html>

" think that this is the shooter 3DRealms has been trying to make for the past 6+ years. And by the time that comes out, everyone will remember that Devastation did it first. Just think, a guy picks up a crate (or any other world objects) from the floor, smashes on the head of a bad guy, killing him. Physics in single *and* multiplayer like you wouldn't believe. "

What the fuck does Derek Smart know about game design aside from defending a fucking horrible game on a million different message boards for six years?

Actually, Derek Smart would fit in great at BioWare.
How appropriate. You fight like a cow.
