Troika's PA RPG shots!!

First for the people saying it's the ToEE engine : Stop being stupid, this engine is full 3D, try to get your facts straight before speaking.

For the troll who said it wasn't isometric, the fact is the term isometric was used incorrectly in the early days of bethsoft's FO3 discussion, but it has been rectified already.

I'd be worried about the green circle, if this was fallout 3, but since it isn't, i don't think that has any impact on how cool those screenshots look.

No, Gamma World has been desecrated in it's current incarnation from what I've heard and seen.

Hmm that's too bad. The latest D20 gamma world was done by Sword & Sorcery, with Wotc holding the license. I would like to get some of the old gamma world stuff, been around since 1978, but it's hard to find. It looks fucking cool.
 
The prospect of another Post Apocalyptic RPG is great, but I wouldn't buy it for the graphics alone. I'm not a big fan of 3D, so I'd of preferred 3D characters on 2D backgrounds, or straight up 2D only, but I know those graphics don't appeal to the majority.

Hope they find a publisher.

Unless Troika would go the same route as ToEE - meaning, an attempt to do a carbon copy of the module - they could easilly just take the setting and use what they want. One would think they'd have the same type of artistic freedom Bioware had with their take on the Forgotten Realms for Baldur's Gate.

I am really puzzled. Why doesn't anyone complain that it isn't isometric? AFAIR some days ago there was a huge riot about Fallout 3 NOT BEING ISOMETRIC (although it doesn't exist yet).

Not really the best example of attention span, are you?

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 :).

Now THAT would be hilarious.

Unamed Troika PA game vs. Bethesda's interpretation of FO3.


LET THE BATTLE BEGIN!

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.

I for one really liked Troika's first two offerings, they had their flaws, but I enjoyed playing them. And from all I read and saw about Bloodlines (and that includes a lot) I expect another great game experience from it. For some reason I'm not going out there to buy tons of Morrowind copies to get FO3 ;)

heh, true.

Bethesda doesn't really have a good PR track record as far as I'm concerned. And while it doesn't reflect on their software, it does reflect on their company as a whole.

And I don't really like what I see.

2d backdrops often do look better, especially when compared with something 3d tile-based like NWN or Fallout:tactics. If you can actually make out the borders between tiles when looking at the game then that's sloppy. You often could with Tactics...you sometimes could with NWN.

A good looking isometic 3d game, in my mind, was Commandos 2 & 3.
 
In motion...

I like the look and feel of the 2D background w/ 3D players objects too. But ...

... for those of you who haven't seen it, I really wish I could show you Silent Storm in game (in motion). The graphics were really quite detailed, blended well together, and provided all the interaction/movement and benefits of 3D implementation with a great deal of the detail and charm of some 2D games. I was greatly impressed by the game (except for the stupid-ass Panzerkleins) -- from the character animations, weapon models, art, lighting, building design, and the sound (especially dirt and rubble falling/spraying from bullet hits on rock-materials).

That's the point. you liked them. No problme there. Still, you should only buy one copy even if it's a game you love. At most, buy one or two others to introduce friends/family to the game; but buying multiple copies of games for yourself is just silly, imo.

What if he had a mental problem which made it so he could not use the same item over and over? Kinda like Jack Nicholson in As Good As It Gets, except instead of using more than one soap, he'd use more than one copy of the game :P

I imagine they could use what they want, which is quite alot given there have been 5 editions of the game, though they would have to use D20, I suppose.
 
"What if he had a mental problem which made it so he could not use the same item over and over? Kinda like Jack Nicholson in As Good As It Gets, except instead of using more than one soap, he'd use more than one copy of the game"

LOL If that were the case, he has much bigger problems than simply buying mutliple copies of games..

Actually I like to rub game boxes all over my body and so I need quite a few them ;)

@Volourn: Although I didn't mean it really serious I have to admit that I actually have two versions of each Fallout (german and american). That was part of my Interplay rescue plan :lol:
