They technically look good, but artistically the game is quite ugly. Half-Life 2's engine is probably doing 1/4 of what Riddick does but the great texture work makes it look 1000x better. This game has the Doom3 style where everything is shiny. It looks technically impressive by IMHO, artistically blah.Originally posted by: Renob
I find the graphics pretty meh. Everything looks like plastic.
I find you post pretty meh.Post some links to some better looking graphics.
Dam must run out and buy that game.

Been playing most of the day. It's totally a konsole kidz version of a FPS. The weapons are dinky and there's almost no strategy involved other than stealth. I swear the weapons just fire at a random point where you aim. Almost zero accuracy in the aiming. The dialog is straight out of a Vin Diesel movie and can be boiled down to:Originally posted by: LocutusX
bump... been wanting to hear more about this game, so people keep posting their thoughts
Riddick: Tell me what I need to know.
Guy: Hey Riddick, f*ck you, asshole.
Riddick: <grabs guy> I said, tell me what I need to know.
Guy: Ok, here's what you need to know.
The Xbox has created a new niche of sub-par shooters like Halo 1 & 2 and this game. I can't believe Gamespot rated this game higher than HL2.

sad, there is always a hater. everyone else who is playing seems to enjoy it. sad. as for the aiming, I guess you kinda suck
. And if it sucks so bad, did you play most of the day just to tell us how much it sucks ? rofl. I am pretty far along, and there is plenty of strategy to the game.I am not a "hater" -- just an very critical gamer. The aiming is off, at least on the shotgun and assault rifle. I swear I blast guards dead on with the shotgun and it takes 3 - 4 shots sometimes to take them down. The rifle is useless, the hit pattern is all over the place. Not like FarCry or HL2 where you can aim at any limb and do exact damage. I don't even think you could do headshot if you tried. The reticle is useless in this game. It's not my skill, it's definitely the game.Originally posted by: RealityTime

Sure I am going to play it, I paid for it. But I don't see how it scored better than HL2. It's not even in the same ball park.
It's definitely not the game, it's your skill, or lack thereof. I hit everytime. Shotguns and autofire assault rifles are not precision weapons, they spread. Try using the zoom, moving closer, or stop playing.
Great game, graphics, storyline. Great gameplay additions like eyeshine, stealth, physics, HUD-less gameplay, and great voice acting. Everything is very well integrated, and a breath of fresh air to those jaded by FPS conventions and rehashes. Let's you save anywhere and has checkpoint saves allowing you to experiment. If you like/love Vin and FPS, this game is for you.
BTW, what's the point in contrasting to HL2? There's room in the market for both games. CoR is one of the best games this year and it's $30. Voracious Gabe Newell fanboys need not apply; nobody likes closedmindedness except other people who are closedminded. Go play HL2 if you like it so much.

definately one the years best fps so far. not trying to hype here boys, just want everyone to take notice of this title before it falls below your eyeline
I'm sure with the plain 2.00 shader it would run very well. I have a 6800gt but am using the regular 2.00, as the 2.00++ is too much of a hit, and I can't tell the difference too much anyways. a 9700pro would run this fine.
I hate Vin Diesel and everything about him and that is why I will not buy this game. I still hold him and his Fast & the Furious role responsible for every lowered 120hp ricer with a big wing and bumble bee muffler. :roll:Originally posted by: dwell

rofl... rofl....rofl... lol .. .rofl. true, true. Those blasted cars are entirely irritating. Even the legit fast ones such as the subaru wrx sti, or one that has been turbo-charged, or the 350z etc.. STILL is completely lame. I don't get how those guys don't get that those cars look like the sort of thing a 12 year old would dream up if he could pick any car he wanted. Sad. A really nice, fast sleek car... STOCK owns any of those flubbed up freak-mobiles. But brother, the game is sweet man.!!! :beer:
I wouldn't blame Vin Diesel for that, as ricers were around long before the movie. Maybe it was mainstream America's intro to the supposed lifestyle aspect of it, but kids have been tweaking cheap cars since the beginning. Heck, before cars you had people tweaking their chariots! The roman who put a spear on the wheel of this chariot was a true ricer!
Yeah, there are actually some fast ricers but for every fast one there's 200 that couldn't run a 15 second quarter mile if they were going downhill. I used to "mod" cars myself but back in my day we modded muscle cars that were fast to start with. And also back in my day our cars had to meet a certain sound requirement. Some of these bumble bee mufflers are way louder than some of our old cars were ticketed for.
I know Vin isn't totally to blame but after that movie I swear the amount of Fast & Furious clones was 10 times more.
I've raced my car (2000 VW GTI VR6) only once since I owned it and the reason is it's just not a "fast" car. Anyway, my one race was against a guy with a newer VTech Integra with a muffler lost to me by a car or two.
Sorry to totally threadcrap. I'll stop now.
PS -- The screenshots do look pretty good so I guess I will check the game out if it's got a demo. I'll just pretend it's not Vin.
