More Poject Ego screens!!

thats what im saying

/me high-fives vivi!

now lets get back to the important stuff, like bashing the hell out of the xbox

the above comment is a joke

Ryu, I believe the last interview with the developers of PE said that they were doing what you wanted, basically. Putting in hints, always make an underlying story, never letting the story get stale, etc. I was concerned about this, too.

I\'m so glad someone understood that post.  It felt like i was just rambling endlessly about stupid crap, but it\'s good to see that someone also shared the same issues I\'ve been having with this game and my inability to become excited about it in any capacity.  Now that you have brought up the interview, tell me what it is that he is putting into the game to really address these issues?  I have not seen the interview in question.  Anything juicy you can tell me?  I am understandably curious.

As far as I remember (I am too lazy to go dig up old interviews with developers, although it was on a UK games site if you wanna try) the plot of the game starts off very simplistic. Revenge. It seems to start with you going to town or something and coming back seeing your family murdered and your dog nailed to a wall (I remember that detail thinking "PETA is gonna go ape (pun intended) over that"). You, in your childish ways, set out to find the killers, as you grow up, however, it is discovered that the killers of your family has stuff to hide, etc. (The usual RPG filler stuff happens here). The thing is, what is so great about the game.

  Let\'s say you go to a shopkeeper and are talking to him and you ask him where the "witch" lives. He tells you somewhere in "Scooby-Doo Castle", but only "Jim the Sailor" knows where that is. If you have happened upon Scooby Doo Castle earlier in the game messing around, you could just go straight to the castle.

Alot of times in RPGs or adventure games, you must first talk to the guy before doing anything, he will then make you do a side quest to find out the information, and so on. Having things unscripted (as far as events go) make it so the game isn\'t restricted by it\'s own boundaries, only yours.

lemme find some interviews for you, I will post some links later.

Well, how is the combat?  Not like random encounters right?  Explain to me why that will be fun please.  Curiosity means you work overtime to please.

I have no idea how the battles will be done, but I KNOW they will not be random encounters. That would defeat the whole purpose of a living world and realistic settings. It will be realtime conflict and some of the enemies will be of people who are jealous of you (if you are famous for example), fear you (if you are a tyrant), or just looking to jump someone for cash, etc.

Its nice to see ya back AlteredBeast.  I knew you couldn\'t leave forever.

I post when people piss me off or something is actually interesting ont he boards (fat chance of too much of that going around)

that said, thanks Project Ego is one of my most anticipated games and people trashing on it when they obviously hate it because it is on XBox need to be told whats up. Read my post in the thread below for more on that

mm i haven\'t played black and white is it good?:thepimp:

the graphics are good (except for the villager modeling), but VERY demanding

the A.I. for yer creature is pretty impressive, yet severely flawed in some aspects.  thats the only cool part of the game, tho, is training yer animal to do chores for the villagers, and not to eat them!  although it does become tedious after a while.

but when the game turns into battle mode against an enemy god, the gameplay goes to crap.
