[Dynamite Shikoku]

The demo eats balls

 

[Kon Tiki]

Where is the demo?

 

[golem]

demo is fun.. kinda simple, but fun. hopefully the game has more surprises in store

the demo is included with KOTOR2

 

[captainflimflam]

it's on the knights of the old republic 2 disc....on the option page

 

[boyo]

[Culex]

Looks like Metroid Prime.

 

[Zer0]

mercenaries demo rocks

 

[Kon Tiki]

Looks like Metroid Prime.

The 2nd pic looks a lot worse than Prime.

Yeah it looks like 16-bit textures and bilinear filtering along with awful models.. It looks nothing like the videos, that's for sure.

 

[Rhindle]

Those are bad caps. The game looks really sharp.

 

[ManaByte]

Looks like Metroid Prime.

Sorry, this is a better FPS. You can look up and down while moving without being double jointed.

 

[ManaByte]

Just finished the demo and it's great. Like Halo crossed with Rainbow Six.

 

[Brandon F]

The shooting is satisfyingly loud and heavy, grenade tossing fuctions competently, framerate is extremely smooth, and squad ordering never seems to disrupt the flow of bullets and carnage.

It could be a winnar.

 

[Kenobi]

the demo reminded me a cross between Halo and Metroid Prime. Not a bad thing, just a tad bit weird. It's a bit difficult though, I should give another go at it.

The ONLY thing it has with common with prime is the visor graphics. The gameplay was nothing alike.

Your opinion is wrong. Never compare an Xbox game to that of a lowly Gamecube game.

The demo can be found in KotoR2 in the options, or on the volume 7 of the XBox Exhibiton disc. I've made a comments about this game in the past in other threads and this game is awesome. The music and voice action are top notch. I've played the demo at least two dozen times and can't get enough. I also mentioned in another thread that I got a chance to sample the game at this years Gen-Con at the Nvidia booth and I loved it to death. You should really head over to Gametrailers.com and grab some clips. This is one of my most anticipated games of 2005. It borrows a lot from Rainbow Six 3 and Halo (Metroid like visor is the only comparison to that GC game, and you can turn it off in the options). BUt it manages to have it's own unique charm. The multiplayer should be insane. The only worry I have is that I've heard NOTHING on online co-op play. I'd assume it'd be in there based on the type of game this is, but one can never be certain these days.

What can I say, I'm a sucker for good tactical shooters, and the develops went all out to try to make a good game regradlessof the fact that it takes place in the Star Wars universe.

 

[Mama Smurf]

I'll wait it out for Imperial Commando.

Kenobi, the only thing that makes the demo difficult is that you don't have any type of manual or instructions. What is it with developers these days releasing crappy demos <cough>. Once you figure out the different weapons and grenade types, how to issues commands to your troop, and use the environment to attack enemies, the game is a freaking blast. Here's a hint for the spider boss issue order to have your troops get vocer put your aniper a=in a good spot. When it comes up the evelator zoom in with your sniper and take out the camera eye it uses to scan located on top of it. This will make it less stressful of a battle.

Well, I only really played it to try it out...not to really play it...ya know? I'm sure if I give it another go I'll be set...but that was just my first impression.


Manabyte, Yes, the reason I compared it to Prime is because of the visor...so..I can't do that? Look at it, it almost looks like Prime. The gameplay is more like Halo. I like both Halo and Prime, so that comparison is not a bad thing.

I can compare whatever game I wish! If I want to compare Zelda II to Kung Fu, then so be it!

No part of the demo is difficult at all. I put it on hard and was able to beat it with the crappy pistol. There are far too many health refill spots, and the fact that you can revive your troops is stupid. Also, the visor effects in Commando seem far too forced to be compared tot the subtle, yet excellent visor effects of Prime. There were numerous times where I would melee a droid and the splatter on my visor would be the same thing everytime. One thing I did like about the demo is how your main gun can transform into three various guns. Also, there should be a portion in the demo that utillizes your various visor modes, but I guess I am asking for too much.
