Err....
Okay...
Well, the gameplay, graphics and such look really cool, despite the animation glitches (Like switching to ironsights, AI moving) and all... which is understandable on the UT engine...
.... the sound effects are incredibly cheesy... I mean, come on. It sounds like most of 'em are home recorded consisting of, people drilling, people hitting stuff with hammers, and people hitting stuff with wooden blocks.
Same goes for the voice acting, it's okay and all, really, but some parts just... lack emotion, or aren't filtered (Meaning they get a little grainy, the louder the voice gets.)
All in all the game is okay, but just the sound is the only bad part...
... is that good or bad?
I do agree that sometimes the stressing of our voice actor does not fit and it is very difficult to find good sounds, I searched on sound pool cds with thousand of sounds because we did not want to use the UT sounds which would have destroyed all atmosphere. But I cannont agree thats it is so bad as you describe, e.g our soundtrack composed by Mr.Tom.
In addtion to that we made a contest for finding a voice actor and the chosen one was by far the very best!
I didn't think the dialogue was that bad, myself. Not professiona, sure, but this isn't a professional game, it's a mod, and compared to some of the horrible voices I've heard on mods before, its above par
this game looks really really good! :)
the graphics (art direction) is amazing
the first title screen is sooo inventive too! !
on the slight downside, i kinda agree with dave about the voice acting, it sounds a little home recorded (i know its a free game which you proberbly worked hard abd spent time and effort on) however, my opinion is that you should delete the voice, only leaving the dialoge at the bottom of the scrren (i love it when a game is silent but with dialoge ((sort of like zelda))
but everything else 10000/10! :)
Ingame/Main Menu -> Settings -> UT3 Settings -> Voice Volume -> 0
Every sound will be played but the players voice;)
The voice acting is alright, the only problem is the actual gameplay, the enemies don't seem to ever miss a shot en they are running at random, there's no logic to it. The aiming system is ok, but when you aim, you don't even zoom the slightest bit. You also can't zoom al the way up or down, which is very ennoying in the mausoleum, and when you have to shoot those enemies dropped by the plane. And I keep getting lost in the first underwater tunnel. Oh, and you can't really look at your watch when you have the sniper rifle equipped, or do you have to look at your belt? And somehow, no matter how many injections you have, the player keeps saying: 'I have one injection left'
But there are some mayor improvements that come with this patch, the weapon system is much, much smoother now, and the earthquake is easier too.
Great work guys!
I meant you cant look al the way up or down when zoomed, my bad..
Still, this is a great mod but at some points it's more of an artwork than an actual game, wich doesn't have to be a problem, but after all it IS a game, don't forget that! I would love to see some of the artwork of this mod, see what it was in the beginning and how it eventually ended like this masterpiece.
Greetz!
