Title: NightCaster (56k warning)
Post by: ho3j on July 23, 2001, 11:35:52 AM
Its not really a debate topic.  I seemed to be the only person who liked it at GS but the game is starting to really look good.  It\'s basicly an action/adventure based on elemental magic.  Very console-ish in its gameplay and certainly fun (the higher level spells are amazing).

When the game was first shown at Gamestock, I thought it looked good but nothing special. The latest version of the game looks absolutely beautiful. It\'s by no means the most impressive looking game, but it is georgous nonetheless.

looks good, the textures are good,  I hope they add more poly\'s to this game though, that guy riding that dino thingy is kind of funny. :laughing:

Lookin good.
I have a feeling the puzzles will be very intuitive, as demonstrated in pic 1.
I was about to say how absolutely amazing it looked until I realized the pic with the Dinosaur insnt gameplay but some kind of cutscene as is demonstrated with all your meters missing.
Still though, the shadows are good, and the textures are sweet.
Very interesting looking.

Yeah :)  I love the textures, colors and sytle of the game... as kimathi said, it is not the best looking game but it still does look fun.  As for polys... I wouldn\'t count on much of an increase since the devs to not seem to be graphic nuts (allthough I could most certainly be wrong), alltough it is currently pushing around 21 mpps which seem fine for a lower profile frist-gen game.

Just like anything else its really just a matter of who is developing it and time.  And like I said, NightCaster is simply not going to be on the cutting edge of graphics. ;)
