DoD:Source, BiA, Serious Sam, Oh My!
It's been an interesting week to say the least.
Between the Christmas-like anticipation of the unveiling of DoD:Source on Monday Sep 26th, to the new demos for both Serious Sam 2 and BiA, to the new episode of Lost (damn control room looks like the bridge on the USS Seaview for gawds sake), to the hurricanes from hell, a new Supreme Court Chief Justice...and the Washington Redskins beat the Dallas Cowboys. I have to say either the world has tilted on its axis or we're in a strange time indeed. It's been a wild and wacky week.
Ok DoD Fans: Question one: How many of you will take PTO from work on either the 26th or 27th? I will because I figure I'll sit down to play DoD:Source at 6pm EST on Monday and will only leave my seat for sustenance and bathroom breaks for the next 24 hours. My buds on the dev team all tell me they are hyper-excited about this release. It's breathed fresh air into a game that was becoming very out-of-date and, truth be told, getting boring for us who have played it for the last four years. I think most of you have seen the ign videos and still shots so we've had a lot of our questions answered. So far things are looking great.
BiA Earned in Blood released their demo version today as well. One single player and one MP map were included. The game looks better than the original and runs about the same. It incorporates some HDR components and it looks pretty good. It has the same game play dynamics except this time you play as a Corporal Hartsock...it's sort of like Opposing Force when you see Gordon Freeman every now and then...in this case you see the main character from the original BiA occasionally as you cross paths.
BTW...Fileplanet finally posted my flyby video of my remake of dod_falaise and you can d/l it HERE

Considering Opposing Force was made by the same company..... ;)

Well, I already have the 26th as one of my scheduled days off but I took vacation on my night shift of the 27th to "go to my sons soccer game". I hope my wife doesn`t think I`m going to do stuff around the house that day.
