Troika's PA RPG shots!!

I think some form of planet hopping PA RPG would be awesome.... like a massive planetary nuclear war took place, wiping out several planets, each planet has a different type of culture and wasteland as a result.... this would combine space combat and trading, with post apocalyptic gaming, in a completely unique setting....
 
With black leather samurai armor, katanas and lightsabers, yo.

You realize that`s another setting right, not Fallout?

True, it’s not fallout, but my guess is that was intended to be.
Anyhow, it’s all speculations.


as for lightsabers, they are the property of lucasarts and using them is a violation of international copyright law :wink:
 
Troika did say they might make a Spiritual successor to fallout :).

Heard this after they lost the F3 license.

Of course I can. Genre has nothing to do with it, duh. I'm not sure why you think RPGs should look inferior to other genres, but I don't hold that belief.

Genre has a lot to do with it, numbnuts. An FPS only has a narrow FOV camera versus on overheard isometric view game. Doom 3 can only have less monsters on the screen at any given time than the number of fingers on your hand. In top down 3/4 view, you'd have those monsters, plus a player, plus more of the environment visible at any given time than just a hallway. All of that is strictly because of the genre.
 
...is this wreck on the second screenshot the car of Colombo? :)

btw. I wouldnt say it was Troikas intention to develop a no name PA game and then buy Fallout licence and put a Fallout sticker on it. If I remember correctly the first concept art pics appeared BEFORE the big collpase of BIS and Van Buren...
 
True Petrushka, they would use the engine to make a Fallout game if they could, that tech demo is from another setting though, work on it began much earlier to the Van Buren end.

Viewpoint has everything to do with how a game is designed. Why put a huge amount of effort into designing high-poly models, a lifelike shadowing system, pixel/vertex shaders, and whatever other eye candy you can name when those features will either a) never get used because the camera is too far away or b) get used, make a very slight improvement in the scene and bog down the engine?

I'm not saying that an engine designed for an iso viewpoint won't use the above-named effects, but the design and implementation compared to an engine designed for a first-person viewpoint would be very different.

It's extremely unfair to compare an engine that will always be showing a higher level of detail to an engine that will rarely (if ever) be showing a high level of detail.

In a nutshell: I agree

Looks like the screenshots have possibilities. definitely has the TOEE/IE/VB/JEFFY "look" to me. Still too early to dream it's the second coming or bash it.

I'd tell you one copy, and only if you *really* want to play it not because you want another silly game. Afterall, this was one of the fabled reasonings for some people buying LH,a nd FOBOS. Buy *this* game to get *another* game. There is very little logic there.

Aghh, sorry to ruin the optimism, but when there’s a green circle around characters it usually implies that you are able to control more then one character at the same time (tactics anyone?).

I don't see that as a bad thing.

People might laugh, but I think Troika should try to get the Gamma World license, which would only cost like 200$.

No, Gamma World has been desecrated in it's current incarnation from what I've heard and seen.
 
OMG, go, Troika, go! The screenshots do look great, but I'm more concenred with how the gameplay will be. I hope it's not so much battle oriented, like ToEE, but more "diplomacy" oriented, as the great Arcanum. Anyway, I'm sure it will be a great game, if they'll only have the resources to finish it, so we may actually have some fun in 2006-2007 :).
