DominusDefunctorum Gaming Aged Member Posts: 3645 Reg: Jan 2000	posted 10-04-2000 06:47 PM im just wondering... why on earth would anyone buy this game on the dc or UT on the ps2 when they were designed for the pc and are best played on the pc?? Not only will you get better visuals on the pc due to higher resolutions.... but you have the multi-player time of your life. Now if you can't afford a pc that can handle these games then ok... ------------------ Lets toss a coin... Heads I win, Tales you lose...:D

Cool8man Expert Member Posts: 964 Reg: Jun 2000	posted 10-04-2000 06:59 PM Half Life actually looks much better on the Dreamcast than it does on the PC. Quake 3 looks very good, UT looks like crap. As far as who would want them, someone who doesn't play PC games, a console gamer like myself. I don't have the expensive hardware to play games like these on the computer. I don't even own a 3D card. And the quality of most PC games (imo) doesn't justify the purchase of a new computer. But even when I had a top of the line computer I hardly ever played PC games. I don't like playing with a keyboard and mouse either. And spare me the PC gamer spiel. Let bygones be bygones.

DoobyDoo Member Posts: 83 Reg: Aug 2000	posted 10-04-2000 07:00 PM The game looks better then the PC game to me, and I can't stand playing some games on the PC cuz the computer is doing other things when i'm playing so it goes slow sometimes ------------------
Thompson! Gaming Aged Member Posts: 1276 Reg: Sep 99	posted 10-04-2000 07:06 PM Now you see what I was saying earlier. If Timesplitters looked like this with those characters x20 on screen I would be impressed. The lighting, chk out the curved surface in the 1st screen - & this was playing at 60fps, well according to DC-UK thats the frame rate.... power. Thompson ------------------
Ryan Thompson Mr. PC & Admin Posts: 2099 Reg: May 99	posted 10-04-2000 07:08 PM While this is indeed, a very solid effort, and I am happy for the chance console gamers will now get to play this game, it does not look better than the PC version. Play the game on a decent PC and you will see what I mean. Nothing against the Dreamcast version, I really hope it turns out nice and I think a steady framerate will be one of the neat byproducts of having it on dedicated hardware... As for HL DC, well the original PC version is over 2 years old, of course it will look better. If the PC version was revamped it would look at least as good. I am just setting the record straight, I play my Dreamcast a lot, but my PC ROX! MUHAHAHHAHA...ok I am done. ------------------ Ignorance isn't my excuse, it's my accomplice.
Thompson! Gaming Aged Member Posts: 1276 Reg: Sep 99	posted 10-04-2000 07:17 PM Ryan, players will have the opportunity to play this - online too. Initial outlay 150 notes for console, 40 notes for game & off you go. The PC man playing it at that res & frame rate pay's what ? 1500 maybe 2k min. Perlease no contest. Thompson ------------------
Dragon Gaming Aged Member Posts: 1087 Reg: May 2000	posted 10-04-2000 07:27 PM In addition to playing with 4 people online, there are also bots. So you essentially have more than 4 players while playing online, although only 4 are actual people. The rest are cpu bots. ------------------
Ryan Thompson Mr. PC & Admin Posts: 2099 Reg: May 99	posted 10-04-2000 07:27 PM Thompson!: At what point did I even challenge the value of having a DC version? I fully understand the opportunity it presents for gamers who don't want to spend the money or time on their PC. BTW, your PC doesn't have to be that nice to get Q3A running smooth and beautiful. Assuming you need a 2000 dollar rig for every PC game is the most common downfall of beginning PC gamers. Lay off. ------------------ Ignorance isn't my excuse, it's my accomplice.

Alex Gaming Aged Member Posts: 5942 Reg: Mar 2000	posted 10-04-2000 07:36 PM If the lag is as low as NFL2K1, then I'll be mighty impressed. It dosen't look as good as the PC version at all, I run a 333 celeron 96 RAM and a TNT 2 Ultra and I can run mid-high options at 1024x768 and 60FPS. TIme Splitter's and Outtrigger's eat it grapihcly, but I skipped the PC version for this, so I hope the lag is as low as it's susposed to be otherwise it can jump in a river. One thing though, this is lacking a ton of detail compared to the PC version, like the weapons have texture detail rather than polygon, and are also blurred, the backgrounds are also blury, so why the hell is this running at 30FPS, WTF? ------------------ 10/02/00-Today in the wacky world of Magic Holoduke: What do you mean someone "H4x0r3d 4Nd 5t0l3 m4h Pympm0b1l3" -Magic Holoduke Today's Magic Holoduke was sponsered by: Mr. Bob- He likes 'da booze.

Fragamemnon Gaming Aged Member Posts: 1652 Reg: May 2000	posted 10-04-2000 07:37 PM The whole '4 person' only thing is a non-issue for everything except CTF. I've had tons of fun playing Quake 3 with 4 people on a server, and I don't see how that would change. Team DM is especially fun with 4 people. CTF, like I said, is a lost cause with that many, though. And the game certainly doesn't look any better than the PC version at 640x480 on the highest quality setting. quote: The PC man playing it at that res & frame rate pay's what ? 1500 maybe 2k min. 640x480, high-level detail at 30fps? Practically any machine released in the last year can do that. You must mean Canadian or Australian dollars, right? ------------------ If you plan for the worst, all surprises are pleasant.

skrewup Jebus Lives Posts: 1503 Reg: Dec 99	posted 10-04-2000 07:53 PM Fragamemnon: well i guess every one has different preferences, i mostly play q3 on the school lan with 8-12 people...4 people makes the map seem empty (atleast for me) ------------------ Nurse look at this straight jacket, it crooked
Fragamemnon Gaming Aged Member Posts: 1652 Reg: May 2000	posted 10-04-2000 08:06 PM skrewup- Four people on a map turns Q3 into a completely different game than a game with 8-12 people (which is still "hella fun, balls-to-the-wall" action). It's more of a 'prepare-for one on one combat' by running set routes through levels and maxing out your armor and health at all times. In a full map, there's alot more emphasis on getting quad and and approaching typically packed areas with the proper weaponry and getting tons of frags in short bursts, while picking up health and armor in stride (making a run for it doesn't work when there is 10 people on the map). TeamDM is a totally different ballgame altogether, though. Wait! We can't have a Q3 thread without the following! UT sux0rs! Just keeping tradition. ------------------ If you plan for the worst, all surprises are pleasant.

Like you made the point I made the point 600 notes for a basic PC in the UK. the ones I saw at ECTS cost more, and they ran the game like it should be ran - hi res, fast & smooth thats the point.... go easy on the caffine man.

Fragamemnon Gaming Aged Member Posts: 1652 Reg: May 2000	posted 10-04-2000 08:49 PM I'll probably be gone from the forum until Sunday, I actually fly back on Saturday, but I know I'll be reveling the conquering of the Miami Hurricanes once again when I get back. I've got a nice high perdiem, too-does anyone know any good brewhouses in Raliegh, NC?

Rehashed, recycled crap that id has spewed forth many a time already in different iterations! Any of you DC owners deciding between UT and Q3A, get UT. Q3A isn't worth the CD it was printed on! UT has better level design, better gameplay options (Although I hear Assault got hax0red, that sucks.), and more fun gameplay!

Alex Gaming Aged Member Posts: 5942 Reg: Mar 2000	posted 10-05-2000 12:31 AM Reeko: No way in hell, Quake III is a decent game, it grows old with any depth at all, but Goldeneye was a masterpiece, Quake III isn't, espically a port of it that looks quite a bit worse than the PC version running at 30FPS, half-assed programming. Now, Outtriggers will be the Dreamcast's Goldeneye, there's a fine piece of work right there. Good year for FPS's on consoles though, Quake III, UT, Time Splitters, Outtriggers is coming to the US next spring though. ------------------ 10/02/00-Today in the wacky world of Magic Holoduke: What do you mean someone "H4x0r3d 4Nd 5t0l3 m4h Pympm0b1l3" -Magic Holoduke Today's Magic Holoduke was sponsered by: Mr. Bob- He likes 'da booze.

Darkshire Gaming Aged Member Posts: 3173 Reg: Nov 99	posted 10-05-2000 05:51 AM FGNOnline notes that this game has been pushed back until the 17th, a week later. I was under the impression that titles had to be finished and run by the parent company in order to go through QA first... how does Sega operate when it comes to giving thrd-party titles the OK?

From the article: quote: Quake III Arena was scheduled to be released on October 10, but according to IGNDC, the FPS will now ship on October 17. When asked about the cause of the delay, Sega's Heather Hawkins said, "You know id...they’re perfectionists." Still, if Quake III Arena is flawless when it ships, who can complain? ------------------ Stick a fork in me, I'm done.

The DC version of Q3 allows JUST THAT! Oh, and DC owners are about to recieve the FINEST in FPS this fall. Quake III, Half Life, and SYSTEM SHOCK 2!!!
