No One Lives Forever

[JJ650]

SLOW? Hell, I can't even get the thing to start. Brings up that first screen then takes me back to windows. BAH!

I have no idea what's going on but the sucker won't work for me.
Thumbs down till I get a working demo. :|

heh, well it's only a demo! remember guys it's based on the Lithtech 2 engine, which AFAIK is completely new.

I'd like to try it out one of these days...

 

[jpprod]

You have a point Soccerman, but for crying out loud, Lithtech 2 was supposed to be the first engine boasting full T&L support - from what I can tell, GeForce owners are having the most performance issues. This is just damn contradictory in my opinion 🙂

I downloaded it to a server at the office over the weekend (lots of bandwidth there). I'll grab it and put it on my home PC later in the week and see how it runs on my PIII 733 Voodoo 3 setup.

I have both Shogo and Blood2, and i can tell you right now that this isn't really "lithtech2". Its more like lithtech 1 with a few new graphical additions (detail textures actually seems to be the only one). The game starts up the same exact way, has the same options under the graphics tweaking section. IMO, its less of an improvement from lithtech 1 than quake2 was to quake.

But why does it run so bad? Its a tech demo, meaning it isn't optimized at all yet. Hell, for all we know it can be running in debug mode!

"Annoying? I don't think so. General hardware coversmany things,nothing specific.Thats why its GENERAL."

Mmm hmmm.... General indeed. General Hardware indeed. 😉

hehe 😀

Turn off shadows..It'll run a LOT better..

 

[DarK SagE]

The player models are some of the most detailed i have seen, so are the animatioms. O and u play one hell of a hotie 😛

Graphics are considerably better than Deus Ex and Soldier of Fortune. Performance of NOLF at 1024x768x32bit rivals Deus Ex at 800x600x16bit. Although "turning" is not as smooth. I've enabled a lot of the "pretty" graphics options too. Also I find this very fun to play... With that long gun with the silencer muzzle, I feel like I'm Leon from The Professional. (movie)

I am currently 95% of the way through Deus Ex full version, and playing a game like this is kinda fun; you're a Superman character, who can run through a level like a guy in the movies and use your silencer-equipped gun to take out thugs with one shot. Man do I miss that. Do that in Deus Ex, and you eventually end up dead.

Edit: Looks like in NOLF, when you kill someone, you shouldn't leave their body on the floor. The funniest thing about Deus Ex, is picking off people from a distance (thugs in a group) and their buddies just walk over their dead comrades, who were standing beside them a second ago. LOL

Noticed that too locutus, but here's what's stupid.

In Deus Ex they don't care if their buddies are dead...but you do have the ability to carry the body off and hide it.

In NOLF they do care when their buddies die, but you dont even have the option of hiding the body except for that stupid dust (I much prefer the idea of stashing the bodies in a closet or something) which is extremely limited.

heh, I have P200MMX, 64mb, and a voodoo1 card. It loaded, the engine only rendered the characters and not the environment (it was all black with a couple soldiers here and there). When I moved it was very choppy (1FPS, yes 1FPS)

Actually the serious sam demo ran pretty well (err, to my standards, lol), rendered everything (lowest detail of course).

I finally have a cable connection to download all the newest demos and now my computer is crap, great 🙁
