"How..........."

is the games industry going to better the classics?


Half Life, Deus Ex (in my opinion not very good - yet still hailed as a classic) Planescape:Torment etc.

All classics, and there are more. I shall use Half Life as my example. Recently AvP2 was reviewd in PCZone. I read the review, and found the reviewer thought that the game was better than Half-Life. In a second opinion, another did not.

It got me thinking - Half Life cam out a few years ago, and really had nor opposition because it came out at a time when the values of Doom still lived on in Quake 1 and 2. Not much AI, blast everything that moves etc etc. Now that a game that looks and plays as good as 'Alien v Predator 2' comes out, and there is still discussion as to if it is better than Half-Life, I wonder what the games indusrtry is going to do.

So far, Half-Life has been the Star Wars trilogy of computers - ever since it came out, most people have been trying to imitate it, not improve on it - that is my point, how is it going to be improved upon, apart from graphics and sound wise - I mean in AI, level desgin, and any unusual features - Red Faction came out claiming to be better with its Geo-Mod tech, but it was nothing like as good as Half-Life - or even the first AvP.

On paper, a new FPS to claim Half Lifes crown, of both single and multiplayer gaming (due to counter strike) needs to combine the variety of Unreal Tournament, and the beauty etc of AVP2 - y et people have tried to do this, and to no avail - I personaly think a new game would have to feature incredible AI, and a new way of telling the story 6to entrap the player:

What are your thoughts?

I have made a topic on DBZ in the Chat forum, to attract you away from this topic, and too keep Cyclone from tearing your heart out with a spoon.

I just liked the title.

If you didn't read the topic, then why have you replied to it? I am not being nasty or anything, I am just curious.

And I am also trying to help, because ruining peoples topic by talking about something other than the topic or something related to the topic, can be hazordous to your health.

I didn't read the topic, but I have played Half-Life, hasn't everyone? Oh yeah, I did mean Trunks from DBZ.

First off, I will presume you mean Trunks from Dragonball z, and if so, he is a cool little character.

Secondly. Have you read the topic? Have you played Half Life?

I only ask this because Cyclone wrote out this topic to find out peoples opinion on the topic.

you tool

Don't you think Trunks is MINT?

it's 'uksgamer2002'. Get it right. Did you see my work on the topic 'I'm on........'?

..many ways can you ruin a topic?

Ask UKsgamer.
