Rise of the Triad |OT| RocketMinigun not OP
- Thread starter Noisepurge
- Start date
Not so sure about selecting winners already. We still have until the 31st, so there will probably be some strong contenders.
It's OK, Germany forgives you. Germany knows this situation is dumb as hell. Still, Germany's gotta German. Derp.
Yeah, I figured it would take some work.
Could you comment on the style of level design you guys aimed for? Is it more akin to Doom (levels which require backtracking and open up like a flower as you progress) or more like Serious Sam (a series of empty rooms with enemies)?
We sent out codes over the past two days. Reviews should go up on launch day. I wanted to give everyone 2 weeks with it but 6 days is what they got because we're bad at generating Steam codes.
Definitely more like DOOM. Or more like Rise of the Triad obviously. Definitely not as mazey as ROTT 95. Any true ROTT fan can tell you the Shareware levels were the best and the other gajillion were mostly rubbish. Think of it as a good mix between the original levels and newer gameplay design. Colored keys and doors, monster closets, super fast speed, stupid powerful weapns, lots of secrets, it's all there. It really really really feels like a shooter from the early to mid 90's dressed up in Unreal 3. There's no other way to describe it.
Dave, does the new game still have different violence levels like the old one? For some reason I really liked the way you could scale the game anywhere between completely bloodless and literal showers of gibs.
Also, do severed hands in said showers of gibs still flip you off? This is important.

It's basically in /EKG mode all the time now. However, you can turn the gore OFF. We had to do that at PAX AUS
YES.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Is the soundtrack composed entirely of butt rock?

Pre-bought. Played the shareware ROTT as a kid and the new game has me hyped.

I still hazily remember the day me and my father found a boxed copy of Rise of the Triad from a random electronics store, in the middle of a road-trip our family was taking. My father bought it ( since we had played the shareware version to death ), and I was probably pleading him to do so, too, in the manner an excited kid does when he sees something he has to have that instant. RotT defined a part of my childhood, as it was easily the most 'violent' game I had played up to that point, and it just had this sense of foreboding and danger that most games lacked. It was also pretty damn challenging on the second-highest difficulty ( which I played it at ). It was my father's favorite FPS ( alongside Wolfenstein 3D ), as he always preferred to shoot 'real criminals' instead of imaginary monsters. Ergo, he was never a Doom-guy.
My father unfortunately doesn't play video-games anymore - he has this excuse of 'being too old to keep up with the speed' - but this new RotT is something I'd love to share with him ( and I will install Steam and buy a copy for him the next time I visit his house - he can't ignore a gift, right? ). Now... Those trailers pretty much summarize what I want out of this game: that old-school RotT spirit in a modern visual presentation. Pre-ordering it for myself was a no-brainer. Now I can't wait for it to unlock. See you in multiplayer, GAF!

I am playing stage two of the original ROTT and how fitting that this .gif dances well to the music.
From what I understand the soundtrack is entirely composed of butt rock covers of the original games fantastic soundtrack.

Kind of like "Doom the metal" that works so well with Brutal Doom?
Because that would be awesome.
Sold!

Really awesome to see all the excitement in here for this. They ran out of codes for reviewers but imo that's only a good sign for the excitement of the game in generating. People WANT to play this!

Mod Idea - Have a new HUNT character, Jim Lahey. Permanently drunk and you can have quotes like 'There's a shitnami coming Triads!'
You've done a good thing
Even if our game sucks (it doesn't) it's only $15 and you get $10 worth of stuff free for pre-ordering so WORST CASE SCENARIO you're out $5.
WORD.
