I just looked at the awards on Plus+ and I was wondering if anyone knew if there will be award progress. Getting that many kills or wins without knowing how many you currently have would be annoying. They had the same problem in Star Defense.
Well the pixellation is caused by the fact that there isn't any antialiasing. Since this device can't handle AA, you shouldn't blame them for that. Just know that while the game is in motion, you won't notice it. As for the gun shaders, I agree, they are pretty bland. Hopefully they've been tweaked a bit since these pics were taken.
Oh yes, they sure did. Tyrants took a long ****ing time. I doubt they've learned since then, considering that they still haven't patched Star Defense. Just assume that this is gonna take a lot of play in order to get them all. I'll probably get bored before getting close to some of the further ones and move on to something else, but who cares, right?
I could do better texture work on the gun, yes. I have some experience in texture design, and I'll tell you right now that the gun texture in those pics is lame.
It gets old, yes. Still, none of the other mobile devices can handle it, so I don't fault Apple too much. I wonder if developers could have the 3GS versions of games be antialiased...
True, but this could be the first online FPS that many will actually sing up to, and NGmoco known for their polished games, this could be a winrar.
That is to be expected Anyways, the gun texture doesn't bother me too much. Everything looks much better in motion. Also, if you're spending all your time staring at your own gun, you're gonna get shot pretty fast
I don't really care about textures and graphics that much, just as long as they aren't as bad as runescape graphics back in the day >_>. Just keep them exceptional and I'll be fine. Practice mode isn't really for honing your skills. It's probably intended for the newcomers to get used to the controls and for anyone to test out their guns and armors, which I would find pretty convenient so I wouldn't look like I just started using this gun online. Although it would be nice to train against the bots but still, +1 for ngmoco. Edit: If you can choose maps in practice mode, that'd be another plus. You could get used to the areas before fighting in it online. Thus making practice mode a really useful feature.
Choose maps for practice mode... That would be extremely useful! What a great suggestion, I hope that ngmoco is reading this. Then we could try our guns, our suits, our upgrades, and the maps to become more proficient.
Yeah, you're right about that - practice mode would make for a great way to try out each map and weapon before taking yourself online. Still, I can't help but feel Ngmoco could have done a better job about implementing single-player bot matches. Something with a loose plot similar to Unreal Tournament would be ideal.
Yep. It'd be the perfect mode to go into 1st so you wouldn't be a complete noob, so there would be less retardedness online (although it would be funny and useful for getting tons of credits but it wouldn't be fair) Although this mode could backfire if there are any glitches in the map people could use. They would be searching the map for them in this mode :-/. Let's hope there aren't many major map glitches.
Well I don't think you can earn credits in Practice Mode, but I'm not sure on that. Also, I wonder if you can earn awards from playing in practice mode... might be worth having the developers step in and answer a few questions. Hopefully they'll check up on this thread again soon This does use a modified Quake 3 engine, and that engine isn't known for its glitches. I know Plus+ allows you to report people, but it doesn't really let you say why you're reporting them. Hopefully it won't come up.
