Going by the demo that's a perfect definition.shuri said:It plays like a 1991 Ocean sidescroller action game
Nice sprites, but horrible gameplay.

Yeah, too bad most homebrew stuff is like this, or the other way around. Halflife 2D was okay...Funky Papa said:

You mean DataEast's Midnight Resistance.
Ocean made the conversion for Amiga, Atari, Commodore, Spectrum , and Sinclair.

Ocean is one of those words that the more you say it, it starts to not even sound like a word. Try it. Ocean. Ocean. Ocean. Ocean. Ocean. Ocean.
BruceWayne said:
No, I think he means the period where there wasn't a movie license in the world that Ocean couldn't transform into a joyless, forgettable side-scrolling action game.
I sent them a sprite set for a Twin Peaks platformer in some form of hilarious art-wank protest once, but the joke was on me, as I was always secretly upset that they didn't steal them and actually release a game.

You forgot how they managed to compose entire soundtracks (game sounds included) with the same two motherf*cking samples.D2M15 said:

Heh, they weren't rumors. THQ was going to release it and I know development actually began on it too. But after THQ publishing Oddworld and Banjo for GBA, they ended their affiliation with MS; it just wasn't profitable.

The last action hero game for instance, total and utter crap.

Didn't THQ publish Zoo Tycoon DS?

Wow. This game really captures the level design of the Halo games.
EDIT: And I don't mean that in a good way.

Midnight Resistance forever! I loved that blond jeep driver chick
and ocean had some excellent games in the day. they had Navy Seal, it was one of the best Amiga games I played, well ahead of its time in terms of gameplay.

Wait, is this the same game as Halo: Blood Covenent?

The sprites look the same, but is this the same game or a clone?
Well, if I read right, the teams on these two projects were close, so that makes sense.

Damn, I've tried all day to post this on [SMB] but Blogger is being a little bitch right now.
Fuck you, Blogger. And btw the demo is worth the dl, by far.

Seriously it'd be so hot if they somehow managed to get it licensed and put on XBL Arcade. I'd even pay the small fee to have it.

It was Infogrames.djtiesto said:Didn't Ocean eventually become Inforgrames (now Atari) or Eidos? I just remember them sucking on the NES
I'll hate Ocean forever. I bought Tintin on the Moon for the Amstrad. I still want retribution for that.
Suckers.
Actually I retreat my previous statement. Claiming that someone's game is about as fun as an Ocean game is the bluntest thing you can throw to a developer, specially if the good pals are amateurs.

Ocean *did* publish some good games too...like Batman The Movie, Combat School, Pang, Parallax. Platoon, Rainbow Island... and on Amiga games like Epic, F29 Retaliator and of course the best Vietnam war game ever, The Lost Patrol.
Ah yes, Abuse was fantastic...but it was actually created by Crack Dot Com, not Bungie. If only there were a way to play Abuse at 60 fps (which should be standard for any side scroller).silenttwn said:This game blows, and Bungie did it way better when it was called Abuse.

Abuse was the first thing I thought of when I saw those pics.

looks like a metal slug rip off
Aaah the music kicked ass! (though it was a little out of place)Kleegamefan said:
Just played a bit of Halo Zero. The controls are aweful, but I had a smile playing through the first level. It was pretty cool seeing all that Halo stuff in an early ninetees games setting, although I'm sure that wears off quickly. Worth the download.
Also, online multiplayer?! We need to setup a clan asap!

Abuse... Crack dot Com...wasn't that ddt's old company that went under?
Chairman Yang

Abuse is now open-source, right? Why didn't the creators of this just use that (superior) engine instead of making one from scratch?
yep. their old lead now does application virtualization, and i guess ddt works at id. bungie published the mac version but i guess they passed on the followup project (which was an over-imagined turd, as far as i can tell), as i don't think they ever found a publisher for it.ddksanrokumaru said:
