So i had nothing to do for the rest of the day. No one on vent, didn't feel like playing anything so i thought I would talk about Neotokyo. Now if you didn't hear about it on Moddb yet then either must be under a rock or not care because you don't own a hl2 related game. Neotokyo is a game for the source engine based off of the cyberpunk world of ghost in the shell and other Japanese animes and it is awesome. First off the mapping will blow you away for being on the ep1 engine of hl2. Its detailed, beautiful and also I get little to no lag while playing. The sound and music make you feel like you are there for suttle bird and crickit chirps to the bang of thunder and the gunfire of the weapon. When you start a round you see at the bottem of the screen you are in a way "uplinking" to your body which gives you more of a grounding into the neotokyo cyber punk world and makes you feel like your not just playing a game, but commanding cyberneticly linked commando from miles away. Now thats all good but i bet your asking what the game play is like. Well the short anwser is that its like the graphics and atmosephere of the game. There are three different classes with many things seperating one class from another from the type of vision you can use to how fast you can go. There is only one game mode right now but it fits in very well with the cyberpunk theam of the game, capture the ghoast. You are split inot two teams and you are then spawned at the other teams cap location. the ghost is randomly spawned somewhere in the middle of the map so its fair. The objective of the gamemode is to capture the ghoast by taking it to your cap location (aka the enemy spawn) and also the keeping the enemy from cappig the ghoast at their location (the place where you spawn). The other way you can win is by whiping out the other team which is no easyt feat with the weapons you can get. You start with a small collection of weapons each round and as you rank up by killing enemys, being alive when your teammate caps the ghoast or capping the ghoast yourself. Also here is the catch if your carrying the ghoast, you have to drop your primary weapon. In return if you have the ghost inhand you can uplink to a satalite and show the enemys locations which you can then call out to your teammates. The reason i like this is because it isn't like TF2 where you can grab the flag and run away, blasting anything in your way with your primary. It requires teamwork and if you don't work as a team you will fail. Also anyone who Tks will be insta killed, anyone who tks in the first 30 sceonds will be kicked from the server to prevent greifing and let someone play who really wants to play. So i say its worth the download and if you want to find out moreand download it you can find a link to their main website on there moddb page which is here. See you ingame.
