Breton Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Looks cool. Notice how it has stolen bullet time from Max Payne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightsaberboy Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 they put bullet-time in just about every game now. when i was playing this at e3, the exhibitor guy was like "oh, if you press this key, you can go into max-payne style bullet time!" it was pretty fun to play. i doubt my pc would be able to handle it tho. =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GothiX Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Wow.Ever since cheap Japanese horror-attempts got popular, little girls are the scariest thing ever, it seams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toms Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Originally posted by TiE 23 Oooo, I thought that was Matrix? OOOO!!!! TiE Actually it was John Woo... or maybe even someone else before that... (or if you are talking GAMES then i'm pretty sure Requiem: Avenging Angel had it well before Max Payne) Ever since cheap Japanese horror-attempts got popular, little girls are the scariest thing ever, it seams. No, its the chicks with their hair over their face that are the scariest thing ever. Sadako from the Ring still scares the pants off me... *shudder* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IG-64 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Let's not get bullet time mixed up with slow motion. >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Groovy Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I'm giving out free demos for this game at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toms Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Originally posted by IG-64 Let's not get bullet time mixed up with slow motion. >_> But in the original Max Payne all it was was slow motion. And in the original Matrix it was pretty much just slow motion as well (at least for the iconic scenes of the hall shootout and neo falling backwards). It wasn't until games like JO all started including the effect that it became some sort of speedup. And fear is doing it in the slow-motion form... just like Requiem and Hardboiled... Actually, those screenshots kind of remind me of a super-enhanced Requiem... same type of weapon, similar looking soldier/supernatural enemies. Still, monolith do great, but underrated games... so it should be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IG-64 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Yeah, but i've always used the term "bullet-time" for the method they use in movies for achieving extremely slow motion (or no motion with a panning shot) by setting up regular picture cameras on a track and having them shoot at precise times. Said method was started in 1981, then taken further (and named) in the proccess of making The Matrix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acdcfanbill Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 bullet time in the john woo sense, is only the ability for yun-fat chow to spit more rounds out of his twin pistols, perminute, than any other person on the planet. anyway, i always liked monolith games, hopefully this will be good and allow them to develope N.O.L.F. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toms Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Well, Chow Yun Fat is god. IG: Ok. But by that definition no games have "bullet time". I first remember seeing that technique in BBC wildlife documentaries a year or two before the Matrix... though i'm sure it existed in some form before then. NOLF rocked (and NOLF2 simultaneously improved lots of things and ruined others)... but i don't think either sold very well unfortunately. So I'm not holding my breath that they will release another.

Since atleast the 80's, the thing was it was never placed as an exhibit like in the Matrix movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 I'm looking forward to F.E.A.R. And I do hope Monolith makes a third NOLF game - even if it's the last to round the series off as a trilogy - because they are great (if under-rated) games.

toms Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 if you like NOLF you might want to try XIII. It isn't as good, but it has a few similarities and is pretty fun if you don't expect too much. the best bit is that you can pick up chairs and things and whack people over the head with them.

Astrotoy7 Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 NOLF = No one Lives Forever I assume ? Bullet time games .... so 2002 I played XIII....not my cup o tea yes astro stick to your rpgs and hackn slashers mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toms Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Originally posted by StormHammer I already have XIII...and you're right, it isn't anywhere near as good as NOLF. :/ Both got the same humerous overheard conversations though (i love the bits in XII where the guards start singing), and the same annoyingly implemented stealth bits (though i would probably say XII has better stealth mechanics), NOLF had the cool gadgets, XII has the VERY cool way you can pick lots of stuff up and throw it at people, or break it over their heads. NOLF is definatley better, but NOLF with a few bits of XIII in it would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crow_Nest Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Indeed FEAR looks awesome. But im afraid it'll pwn my peformance with its requirements. But i'll get it anyway when its released Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toms Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Monolith make nice engines, but htey never get the hype of Doom/Quake or Unreal engines.. and you almost never see third party games using them... I've always wondered how they make any money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acdcfanbill Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 maybe monolith is three friends coding in one of their mothers basements, that way they have a low overhead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact they used it better in Max Payne, then in that stupid Enter The Matrix game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toms Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 They are making another stupid matrix game where you actually get to play as neo through all three films... but i'm not sure anyone cares about the matrix anymore...do they? *remembers when everyone had matrix sigs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
