...any news?

[v1r4L fr3nzy]

i havent been paying attention to the latest news recently. so i am kinda out ofit as regards new games. i know doom III and, UT2003 are being anxiously awaited as was WCIII (which seriously kicks A**). But other than that, has their been any other breaking news as regards games?

[aym]

NOLF 2 and Unreal 2 are on their way too.

[v1r4L fr3nzy]

is NOLF actually a good game? ...it doesnt strike me as one.

Let's not forget Wolfenstein XPAC hopefully for XMAS!

Mafia is supposed to be good. I think as far as waiting for titles, you mentioned them already w/UT2003 & Doom3. I've got WC3, between that and the UT2003 demo, i don't even touch my PS2. What else could you want?

Have you tried medievil:total war or battlefield 1942?

[aym]

I think NOLF is a fantastic game, a great mixture between stealth and action.

[Nuclear Krusader]

I completely agree with you aym_7.

Does anybody know when DeusEx 2 is being released?

[pam123]

I'm still hunting for a good new MMORPG.
Earth & Beyond has just gone gold and StarWars Galaxies is due out in December.
I feel a new obsession coming on.
Which to choose ?

As for Deus Ex 2, Eidos site says 2003, but there is no specific date.

I just DL'ed the NOLF2 demo today, it's really nice. It plays like Deus Ex except not quite as clunky with the fighting. And no endless dialogue!

The system req's are out of this world though, I have an AMD 1.4Ghz with a Geforce 3 Classic, and I only rate *medium* detail in system specs. For high detail you need a GF4 and at least a pentium 2ghz or equivalent!! Whoa... The models look excellent in medium detail though... but the urge to overhaul my system is becoming great.... ooooohhhh!

I'm stuck though, if anyone reads this, what do I do when the dude tells me to find the new Ninja Meeting place? I think I was supposed to listen to the ninjas talk rather than indiscriminantly kill everyone... but uhhhh, I did.

Whoa!!! :eek: :eek:

A 155 MB demo??? No, thanks. Guess I'll wait for the full game instead.

[v1r4L fr3nzy]

haha, definitely... that game doesnt interest me though for some reason

Friends with broadband and CD burners can be real friends indeed! :D

NOLF2 and UT2003 have both gone Gold

[v1r4L fr3nzy]

but they havent even come out yet! how can that be?

[Texuspete00]

Gold means it is in it's final retail form. They just have to mass produce them, put them in boxes, etc. Not gold like in music where you sell 500,000 copies or whatever.

[Nuclear Krusader]

Well, as I recall, a Gold version of a game is the final release plus extra levels and/or extra features. I think v1r4L fr3nzy has the same idea and that's why he said that.

[v1r4L fr3nzy]

yeah, thanks nuclear. but i now have a new perpective on things thanks to texuspetes description...thanks guys


besides that, what is the release date for doom III??
also, does anyone know when counter-strike:cz is coming out definitely?? sierra keeps pushing back the release date. right now i think its february 2003 but a while ago it was november 2002!!! its unfair to anxious customers!!!

[spork891]

There is a release date for doom3?

I thought they were still working without one at this time.

[v1r4L fr3nzy]

um, i just cheacked gamefaqs and the release date is yet to be announced... theyre probably still working out the bugs.

The Gold thing- looks like a semantics issue- I've seen Gold used both as Texus and Nuclear use it-- for instance, here the use of Gold as Texus defined it:

Regardless, both games should be on the shelves soon.
