pretty sure many of you have already downloaded the demo

my impression from the demo:

1. gfx is ok, character model especially controlled player aint so hot

2. one shot melee kill using the knife is not implemented well. ended up using knife all the way for easy kills! imho, the melee kill should only available during/in stealth only la, once you're exposed, it should be temporarily disabled

3. weapons feel allright (but i personally dislike dual wield, even in halo)

will wait for proper reviews

personally, it's an ok-looking title for next gen.

its just not that 'tight'...a solid FPS should be just that...solid. Like Bioshock for instance, you can feel the weight of walking or running, and each blow or shot from a gun feels like it should..even though it's just a rumble on the pad.

i kinda laugh at FPS' which look nice but runs through like it's on ice. okay, during crouching you have that GoW roadie cam feel..but still it's just too..loose.

The guns don't feel solid...they're like arcadey and all...and true the knife is overpowered.

the gore too..is kinda childish. i mean yea there's blood and all..but the damage modelling on the human models.. laugh.gif they just fall limp when kena arrow..then back up again..

and since they use Unreal engine..the dead bodies just fling around like locusts...but at least locusts were not glitchy.

the programming on the physics are so visually observable. like..the AI falls dead..when the animation stops, immediately physics kick in and the bodies jump around like dead fish..

ah well...it was enjoyable anyway..but something i won't look out for.


now where's my GTA 4 demo?????!!!!!!

well..yeah..absolutely true. but the reason we need a demo of GTA 4 is not to 'test' it out...it's just to whet our appetite while waiting for the release!

like bioshock, we didn't need the demo cos we know it's gonna be great..but the demo only made me a 150% more sure that i would buy the damn game!

so, well..i need the demoooo...pronto!!!!

Knife, you think the one hit knife kill is bad arr? Think about this for a second, your enemies are armoured to fight gun battles, and how many arrows does it take to kill them? ONE. So Turok is carrying with him a bunch of cyanide tipped armour piercing arrows.

I was just wondering who is going to get this game. I am afraid of purchasing this game and ending up with playing the mp alone ! ..... which kinda suck.

yeah... come to think of it, of course la, the demo is like early level of the game, so one knife kill is a bit easy. maybe in further levels, wont be that easy heheheh laugh.gif

I hope when they release the game. They would make the dino better looking and at least give them a brain that dosen't tell them to rush at anything 24/7. Raptors are suppose to be intel dino ! At least what they should do is set a trap and ambush their prey's ass ! that would be wicked awesome and wicked deadly too. LOL. Now about the knife problem. If they would change the knife for instant kill if backstab, that would be better. Lol ... maybe I should post them this shit but they wont give a shit anyway.

Well, you got me on the "what makes you think they are smart" but its proven that they hunt in packs and could take on prey bigger than their size. They have predator behavior similar to lions. They prefer to ambushes and quick chases using their high maneuverability along with strategic pack-hunting tactics. So I would say they are smart even for a small brain reptile.

Dino crisis is similar to resident evil style and YES ! I would say dino crisis is way more fun to play than turok but you can't compare this both games because its two different gameplay. I wish dino crisis would come back and return TO ITS ORIGINAL GAMEPLAY !

Just tried the demo . IMO , they shouldn't release the demo based on the cave . It's dark and uninspiring , no wonder the demo got poor reception .

I , for instance , feel nausea playing it =X .
