Doom 3, Serious Sam 2, Battlefield 2, and Tribes Vengance
Category / Games
Some interesting gaming news tidbits for you tonight.
Gameindustry.biz reports that Doom3 has gone straight to #1 in Australia!
Croteam are not resting on their laurels, Serious Sam 2 is well underway with a new engine named, incredibly, Serious Engine 2! Which probably means we'll be able to get twice as serious making puns using the word 'serious'. I'm imagining some serious pun action.
There are some awsome looking screenshots of Battlefield 2 on the EA Games website. Yeah, Battlefield Vietnam is a cool game but it's not that much different to battlefield 1942. Yeah the graphics are much better, helicopters are cool, it just feels a bit limited in scope. Battlefield 2 looks like it'll be the equivalent leap to that of Codename Eagle to Battlefield 1942. 100+ player maps, 30+ vehicles, modern weapons, material penetration, persistant character skills & rank... it's gonna rock!
And speaking of similarities between Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield Vietnam, here's a sneak preview at Planet Battlefield of the Battlefield Vietnam: 1942 MOD we'll soon be able to download for free. Man I don't think I've ever used the word battlefield so much in a sentance. Check out the flamethrower!
HomeLAN Fed has reviewed, would you believe, the sequel to Tribes 2, Tribes: Vengence. If you read the review you'll notice one glaring aspect of this new game; it sounds just like the old game. It now uses the Unreal 2 engine instead of the V12 engine (or whatever they were legally allowed to call it), but it seems to have less vehicles than Tribes 2 while us punters always seem to demand more damnit! It's not being done by Dynamix but rather Oz company Irrational Games. Lets all hope we don't die of screenshot boredom before it's actually released like we did with Tribes 2.
