Rise of the Triad

So, anyone got this? Thoughts?

So far for me it's a little "meh". The movement is what's letting it down for me, not sure if that's inherent to the game or the perma-shite Unreal engine. However it does hark back to the original nicely, I might spend some more time on it this weekend. It even has "classic mode" for audio so you have all the original soundtracks.

Absolutely mindless, lots of gibs, lots of cussin', even looks like you feel it should.

I've been toying with the idea of getting it, never played the original but somehow I'm following the devs on Twitter and I'm just about convinced on it.

Another thing that keeps nagging at me is the fact it's using the Unreal engine when really it should be idTech for obvious historical reasons (Apogee, Wolfenstein) No doubt licensing reasons (money) involved.

 

[Billargh]

Hah, why such hate for the Unreal engine?

 

[Kryten]

Don't hate it - just never liked the way it feels in FPS games. May well just because I'm a stubborn ol' Quaker As said, it's historical reasons this game should be id tech and not unreal though (ROTT was supposed to be Wolfenstein 2)

 

[Billargh]

Aye, that's the only point I could've got from it. I spent the majority of my online FPS time playing Unreal so I'm open to it

Played the original and in its day it was mediocre. Nothing ground breaking just playing on nostalgia imo

 

[Kryten]

That's probably it. There's a lot of that going at the moment, especially with Duck Tales too.

The original was shit.
Like released way after doom and still a worse game.

Also unreal engine is a pig. At least ue3, not sure about ue4.
