Section 8 Message Board  

Like I said in one post to much time on the multiplayer aspect of games now. It's kinda like hitech heres some toys now entertain yourselves. What happened to games like Wing Commander Series from Origin bring that back, rumor has it Mechwarrior coming back, Star Wars Alliance would be nice to have back with tweaks. It seems that the games made back when PC's barely busted a 100mhz were better crafted as far as story lines were concerned.Maybe they need to do like them movie industry and rehash some old games with todays tech. I was trying to get Freespace to play other day but something about my specs.Wing Commander you could pick out your own weapons load and wingman. Earthsiege no matter how many times you played it no mission ever played the same twice. Privateer, StarLancer, Jedi Knight Dark Forces, WIng Commander. Tom Clanceys Hawx was ok but compared to Janes fighters Anthology back in the day upgrade Janes with todays tech and you have real fight on your hands

man janes i still have my six disc set, i'd play too but vista doesnt like it. man did i love it back when i could play it though.

not all games are that bad though, WiC had a pretty good storyline, FC2 was ok, CoH and ArmA werent too bad either.

Duke Nukem Forever soon very soon

what makes you say that?

Al I'm saying is instead of building upon something that worked,maybe tweak it here and there, they toss it aside. Like I said in before. Earthsiege (some of u may have heard of it, it was suppose to be a Mechwarrior contender)Had it so no single mission ever played the same twice, which was a surprise, cause one mission I started out and broke left around a mountain only to be ambushed, so I was like cool, next time I went right, not only did I get ambushed again but he had help this time, did it again next time nobody at all, come to find out they were waitng for me close to the objective. I played that one op ten times and it played ten different ways. Take that build upon it CoH four Germans in the bunker next time maybe no Germans in the bunker but their waitng for you to come out the other side, next time maybe a german just outside the bunker and tosses in a hand grenade. I think a little code like that adds vast amount of replayability. And it shows developers are working taking advantage of the technology. I rather for a game to be pushed back a month or two and give me a better product than have to wait for a series of patches. I think a patch/update shouldn't be to fix a bug, but something a developer read on the games site forum and said man thats cool why didnt we think of that let's add it in a patch.

Because 3D Realms was bought out and now its in more capable hands.

i loved the story in Star Wars the force unleashed :P still play it ^^ also the gameplay is over the top compared to the old Star Wars jedi games :P imo SW: The force unleashed is the best Jedi SW game so far
