Title: Parabellum
Post by: Razor on December 03, 2006, 11:56:34 PM: 1. Read about it here. (http://parabellum.xg1.net/gameinfo.html)
2. Download one the trailers here. (http://parabellum.xg1.net/downloads.html) Right click save, it doesn't seem to work if you open it normally. Alternatively, if that doesn't work, just watch the youtube version instead. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=ElzBOgVWLy0)
3. ????
4. Discuss.

Post by: Archem on December 04, 2006, 12:08:36 AM: It looks a bit generic. The website also described it as a Strategy First-Person Shooter (SFPS), but the video looks like a basic run-and-gun title. Like Drace said, I prefer WWII. Blasting Nazis FTW!

What I wanna see for once though, is a german campaign. I mean, they suffered too. They deserve a game.

Post by: Archem on December 04, 2006, 01:04:43 AM: I know. The German point of view of the war would be really cool, because then the genre wouldn't just highlight the victories made by Allied troops. It would show them all, and offer up a whole new set of campaigns never seen in the WWII genre. And there aren't enough parts covering the battles in Africa. What happened to Rommel? I know his page in history didn't just drop off the side of the Earth. The flat side, that is.

Post by: Archem on December 04, 2006, 01:44:17 AM: Hey, is this game about what WWII would be like is there were more 21st century weaponry? Because if that's how it is, I would love to blast a Nazi or two with a P90!

Post by: MrMister on December 04, 2006, 04:02:36 AM: WW2 games suck. Play Day of Defeat, you get to play as teh Germany I think.

Anyways, this game looks boring. It's gimmick is people falling over. Oh boy.

Post by: Meiscool-2 on December 04, 2006, 05:45:28 AM: The concept looks cool, but the effects are as gay as something really gay. The sparks, blood, and fire all look extremely fake, 2-3 colors, and don't blend at all with the tectures of the buildings/maps. The physics look meh as well. The graphics are nice, but arn't as good as some of the more current things I've seen coming out that are also FPS.

All in all, it looks like counter-strike with coding updates but without any graphical updates.

Post by: Razor on December 04, 2006, 10:53:06 PM: Bizzle please, incase you missed that gigantic text at the beginning of the trailer, it says "pre-alpha trailer". IE, that stage before that stage before BETA, which even then isn't completely ready.

Also, I think the trailer is from around March. So they're bound to have improved by now.

Post by: Meiscool-2 on December 04, 2006, 11:15:00 PM: So... I'm supposed to rate it based on what the final outcome could be? No, I think I'm going to rate it on what is actually made and is tangible, that is the intellegent thing to do.

Post by: MrMister on December 05, 2006, 01:25:37 AM: The graphics wouldn't have improved, that's ridiculous. Professional games wouldn't make such hiqual(though gay)itah placeholder graphics. Seriously Razor, maybe you should end your life.
Just a.. suggestion.
That suicide is the answer.
