Neotokyo - awesome technobabble nipple grabbing gameplay

It's about some fucking time someone did that.
It's been done a billion times before. There's a reason it's not more common.
Those sorts of reloads tend to annoy most people.
 
I have the day off, I'll definitely try it. I might even get the soundtrack, $10 for DRM-free MP3 files is nice, and apparently 90% or so goes to the artist.

Am I the only one who considers this to be an amazing feature?

It's such a simple feature, and I'm sure hardcore milsim games like OFP do it, but it's sure to add some tension to longer fire fights.
iirc, in SOCOM, you actually carried several mags, and manual reloading was more like swapping for a clip instead of simply tossing it to the side.
 
There's no specific time they have set for it to be released, just "today." The server binaries are already out there, so I'm guessing right now all they're doing is trying to upload it so there's as many mirrors as possible.
 
They didn't release the server files until about 10 to midnight last night, so I hope the actual mod is released a little earlier today :/
 
Well after a little research it seems that they will release the download link on their IRC channel first at irc.gamesurge.net #NEOTOKYO.

Since I want it asap, I need to know how to access IRC's....Help?

If you are using Firefox, there is a plugin called Chatzilla you can use.

Yeah, that was how it works, pretty sure. Played the fuck out of that game. I remember, if you survived long enough into a round, you were often desperately switching mags out to make sure you had 7 rounds instead of 6. Good times.
 
Both channels are in prerelease moderation lockdown. I think I should go eat dinner, and hopefully it's up by midnight. =P
 
I think im stupid. All of my post on the IRC's are always follwed by
"=== #neotokyo Cannot send to channel"
so am I missing something?

Ugh.

Saw that, it was doing it before the lockdown. Is there something I have to type before my message for it to come through?

You need to pm one of the op's to let you chat :) Everyone is locked out, unless you are a server admin.
 
The system requirements for this game are the same as Half-Life 2 right?

The mod looks interesting and I love the Ghost in the Shell universe, but I will wait for some impressions before I check it out.

I'm too lazy to figure out how to open a 7z file. Will it work with winzip? They should just put this on steam.
If you're trying to host a server (I assume that's the .7z file), go download 7-zip at http://www.7-zip.org/. It might work with Winzip, but 7-zip is one of the best zipping/unzipping programs ever. It's open-source, supports a ton of formats, and I think it can even open ISOs and stuff.

It's a free mod, unless you've got a fairly strict bandwidth cap what's stopping you from downloading it and forming your own opinion?
 
When the link goes up I'll have to put Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy down to start this download....then immediately pick it up to wait for hours as it dl's.
 
Shit, there's 978 people in the channel :lol

Nearly a thousand people waiting impatiently for their faux-GiTS fix :lol

Including me :D
 
You know, seeing they get away with such heavily Ghost in the Shell "inspired" game makes me want to get off my ass and start working on the BLAME! "inspired" game I've been dreaming to do for years.
 
will check it out, but i'm worried the mod won't really do much in terms of gameplay. looks like they have solid mappers/modelers, but what are they doing to make it fun to play?
 
Hm... Is this game suppose to be like Dystopia? Because that game already nails the cyber punk aspect with great art AND gameplay.
 
"Hm... Is this game suppose to be like Dystopia? Because that game already nails the cyber punk aspect with great art AND gameplay."


Different styles of game (and setting, somewhat). Dystopia's an "assault/defend" game type with some fairly over the top weaponry and fairly fast paced. Neotokyo's game mode is "Capture the ghost" where two teams fight to capture a ghost and bring it back to your base but there's only one ghost unlike traditional CTF modes. Neotokyo also works in "Rounds" like CS, when you die, you sit out for the round until one team wins (I believe that's how it works anyway).
