BlueJedi Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Heres a real noggin scratcher (wow that was wierd...) Aight, i picked up C&C Renegade because i love FPS's, they are the cream of the cropp, i love 'em. And frankly everyone has a problem with it, it lags at every corner. And after owning, and returning it for a store credit, i am scarred for life and no longer able to trust which games will and will not work smooth. Now what adds to my inquire is the post in PC GAMER about the Quake 3 engine not being able to handle the huge envirionments in JO. Does anyone have any reassurance? Maybe some proof so i can stop rocking back and forth in the corner of my room scared of what the future holds... Whats more is dont those graphics/environments/heck, the whole damn game look too good to be true? I mean, what if these screens are taken on some 2.2 gig with tons of ram, and $1000 graphics card, etc.? ...Well i will leave the thoughts to you guyz...its starting to hurt...

BlueJedi Renegade is good...but it's just...no story!! I thought I was going fight Kain at the end but no...instead I saved some weird Tiberian scientist... Nothing is perfect Plus, we havent even started to play the game yet! The game hasn't been released!! How can it be perfect?!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueJedi Posted March 17, 2002 Author Share Posted March 17, 2002 I have checked them before, my computer beats that hugely. But, renegades recs were even lower than JKII's and it is ****! But dont worry, the game will be sitting in my room...i was just coming for some views and forshadow on the smooth factor. Thanks for the rec's, it was helpful to check them again.

Thanks for the rec's, it was helpful to check them again. You should take comfort in this...first...as you know..JKO is based on the Q3TA engine...of course Raven has gutted most of that, but that's a good thing. Second....I don't know of ANY game that Raven has ever made that has sucked in any sense of the word! Did you ever play Heretic II? Well just think that Raven used the Quake II engine on that game and who would have every thought you could use colors besided gray, green, brown and black but Raven turned that engine inside out!

Caster Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 What Bowen said. Westwood has done nothing but create RTS after RTS after RTS. Renegade is their first time creating a FPS so it's no surprise that is sucks ass both gameplay wise AND technology (coding, programming, etc) wise. -Caster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaberPro Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Another example, Like LucasArts' Force Commander... now LucasArts became smart by getting another companies to do different SW games for they to publish... Verant --> RPG Bioware --> RPG Emsemble (maker of AOE) --> RTS, Galactic Battle Raven --> FPS Oh well we, the gamers, just want the games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arimus Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Well all I can say is...this game is made by Raven. They know what they are doing. Quake engines have always been reliable no matter what modifications have been made to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necro Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Originally posted by SaberPro Verant --> RPG Bioware --> RPG Emsemble (maker of AOE) --> RTS, Galactic Battle Raven --> FPS u forgot Raven makes kickass 3rd pers. (heretic 2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueJedi Posted March 17, 2002 Author Share Posted March 17, 2002 Hrmmmmm... This reassurance is very good. You are all right, i have played Soldier of Fortune, and many other Raven games, they are without a doubt very trusted. And i hadnt brought to mind the fact that that was westwoods first FPS... You all know Medal of Honour: Allied Assault, and that runs smooth on my PC, so i take it JO should as well... BlueJedi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endo'Cun Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 They do have a point, just buy the game, you'll enjoy this game. p.s. your paranoid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHerring Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Renegade, imo, is a very good game. I haven't gotten to the point where they say the plot makes no sense, but its allright up to there. I don't give a crap about the story (GR had random missions but it's one of the best Tactical FPSs out there) Multiplayer is awesome, and the helicopters they're inputting will make it even better. I don't have Q3A or played any Raven games but I still preordered mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueJedi Posted March 17, 2002 Author Share Posted March 17, 2002 So what if i am paranoid -- Do you know how many dissapointed Renegade ppl there are out there, weather these ppl got stiffed by spike games with horrible choppiness or not...it was a huge suprise. And whoever calls me paranoid has got to realise that half of what i said in that messege was pure jokes, i dont mean it all. So chill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desslock Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Half-Life was too good to be true.. look where it was. Whats more is dont those graphics/environments/heck, the whole damn game look too good to be true? I mean, what if these screens are taken on some 2.2 gig with tons of ram, and $1000 graphics card, etc.?[/Quote] Its the Quake 3 engine.. those graphics could be produced on a machine of half that power. Heck one of my machines can make those images with the quarter of that power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmegaRad Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Ya and who gives a **** anyway? I mean, people wanna know if there system can handle this game they want so bad, so back the **** up and shut the **** up Endo... Its not bad to be concerned if your ****ing system can handle a game.. mark ass trick.. CYA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabrobot Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 It seems to me that PC Gamer UK review compared JKII with renegade. They said renegade was how NOT to make a FPS, and JKII WAS how to make a FPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
