Those damn gremlins at work again!:)

Me and 3 other friends were playin Timesplitters when we thought we might try something different. First we made a stage with one room(2x2squares in size as small as possible, you could make it even smaller if you want:D) that\'s it, then we added in lots of respawn points. Next we added in 10 bots(all of them duckman) and for the weapon we had TNT and put the start with a gun option to yes. We loaded it up and started throwing TNT like madman all around the room and it froze:eek: we tried it three more times and the same thing happened:D. It is either a bug or the PS2 couldn\'t keep up with all the people and explosions on screen at once:D  

People with Timesplitters should try this and see if it happens to you as well. Mabye that level creater was a bit to much freedom for a console.....Ah well it\'s a great thing to have in a game even if it does have bugs:D

it\'s not that it had a bug, it\'s that all the crap you guys got the PS2 to do, it didn\'t have enough RAM to hold it all so it kept having to go to the CD to get the code, and because it was all happening so fast the PS2 couldn\'t keep up, and it froze, it happenes to PC\'s all the time, just ask Bill Gates

yeah the next time you play Halflife on the PC and there is more than 4 Soldiers in a Area, smash some grates and throw some Greanades and see what happens.

Running UT with high graphics, 16 bots each with thier own voice pack on a small stage...all I can say is jumpy jumpy jumpy that\'s with 128ram too:D so it\'s understandable that the PS2 would not be able to keep up with only 32 meg ram and 4 meg Vram.

see?....I\'m not so dumb after all, and by the way 007, my woman is still sleeping, so no sex for me right now , but when she get\'s up I\'m gonna be all over her like flies on ****

in fact just about any game has the ability to slow down and become unplayable.

just look at Deus Ex on the PC .

Yeah UT is still playable but only on the smallest stage and if you don\'t have everyone on screen at once:D. Nowadays you need a beast to run PC games at a decent old pace with good Graphics, Dues Ex and Giants:citizen kabuto are prime examples. The PC mag I get recommended a P3 600 128ram and a 32meg Video card to run Giants with good graphics(the graphics it was meant to have) and a decent framerate:eek: they weren\'t kidding either it runs like a dog on my P2 450 128ram 16meg vcard.

dose anyone know who Black and white runs or will it to be added to the UNreal T and Deus Ex list ?.

unreal tourney sucks donkey a$$ on a geforce card, SSSSSLLOWWWWW with huge loading times

yup it is sometimes a matter of a poor graphics engine rather than the power of your rig.

Yes it was made for Glide, then openGL and D3D was added in at the last minute I own a voodoo though so I can\'t complain:D Unreal 2 though is being made on a Geforce board so you may need a Geforce to play it with the added graphical enhancements and a good framerate.

If you own a PC then I think the Geforce 2 is a must have for this year and next, the Geforce 2 MX is a reasonable price to so most can afford one now. I\'m saving for one right now:D Voodoo3 is really showing it\'s age:laughing:

Could a move like that spark the 3D cards wars ?
i know they always try to out perform each other , but will they start to get developers to coincentrate on there cards more ?

Half-life for PS2 will be very nice... I hope none f these problems occur though!

na they shoulden\'t if the news is anything to go by, oh a full makeover for the PS2, i have it on my PC and love it so i might buy it to see whats it like .

yes , the unreal engine is a bad engine for geforce cards, I run a geforce 256 pro DDR and I get blazing fast framerates at q3 and half-life, why not at ut or deus ex??
C\'mon epic!!
