Ion Fury |OT| Maiden Build
- Thread starter Mr. Tibbs
- Start date
That grenade gif brings to mind fond memories of crashing Blood on my family's Win95 PC because I'd enabled cheats and spent 20+ minutes coating the entire level in dynamite.
Played the Early Access build and goddamn it's good. I seriously can't wait to play through all of it.
I played through the preview campaign recently and it was pretty great, even liked the bonus 'infinite blowing balls, no other weapons mode' (good way to practice with them too)
Even the boss was pretty well designed, more interesting than pretty much any other build engine boss encounter

I doubt this will surpass Sunder or SIGIL as my favorite thing of the year but it seems neat enough on it's own.
I'm not an FPS fan, but I loooove the classics, especially Duke 3D. Looking forward to this game and Wrath very much.
And I recently played through Duke 3D in Come Get Some difficulty for the first time (the same as the hardest difficulty, but without the respawning enemies) so I'm ready.

Another genre renaissance snuck up on us real fast.
Was DUSK last year?
Fuck its out in 2 days? Finally get to play this (media blackout and didnt early access it, wanted to experience it with very little knowledge).
It was. In fact it was the one who started the ball rolling. After that it was Sigil, Amid Evil, the doom ports, now this, later Wrath Aeon of Ruin.
Well STRAFE shat the bed a few years back as well though.
oh right and Prodeus is this year as well. what do you know there's actually some decent fps games nowadays. a shame about the last decade.
I hope they expand the "Queen of the Hill" mode. I spent several hours in it, but the last level had so much enemies that the game became unplayable. I wonder how much better the final version will run compared to the latest update (which is very old already).
I created a thread talking about bosses in FPS. In short, great bosses and FPS are not two things that mix often. I thought that giant robot was ok, but it falls in the same place many bosses in FPS fall: just ok.
Everyone knows helicopters are the most natural FPS bosses.
Judging from the launch trailer, there might be a gunship battle in this game... reminded me of Perfect Dark. But besides Half Life 2, I can't think any great helicopter battle. The one in the first Half Life for example was pretty forgettable. In Black Mesa it was better, but I wouldn't call it great.
Been looking forward to this since it was announced. This was developed by modders who used to just make stuff as passion projects.In this case the game is comprised of Duke4.net forum members and long time Build engine modders who were hand picked by 3D Realms. It's fucking cool to see.
Half-Life succeeded where its bosses were more integrated into the story and environment than usual. Like the Blast Pit Tentacle sort of felt like a boss to me, as well as things like the Ichthyosaur and Helicopter encounters. They don't have health bars or boss music or anything, just strong and rare enemies presented in specific scenarios.
Will wait for "coming later"...
Game looked great since I first saw it. The name was cooler before.
