While Turning Point has come under fire for a slightly shoddy demo that went live late last month, IGN can say that their latest build is already showing signs of significant improvement.
Being an Unreal 3 powered title; people wanted Turning Point to be the next visual tour de force on Xbox 360 but the demo was slightly underwhelming in that department. Luckily the team at Spark Unlimited invested the time to bump the visual panache of the environments and character models up to a new level. The change isn't anything earth shattering but you'll certainly be able to tell that things have been honed since the demo's release.
It’s time to wander through the Game Graveyard. A haunting, foggy location in which overlooked and forgotten video games rot under the murky surface of the earth. Unmarked tombstones litter the landscape and the tears of developers that once floated upon the air are now just dissonant wails in the distance.
Not all First Person Shooters will go do in history as a legend. What about the shooters that didn’t quite hit the mark? The hidden gems or the forgotten ‘next big thing’ which didn’t even turn out to be a small thing? Or perhaps the first-person shooter that was so damned awful that everybody tried to forget it exists?
HAZE = LMAO
Cryostasis: Sleep of Reason = This was a nice game. The water Physics, over all physics, and eye candy were TOP NOTCH thus the high system requirements. Nice pick up for those who couldn't run it on Ultra back in the day.
Project: Snowblind was a pretty awesome game that never got the love it deserved.
Oh, come on... Some of these are good. XIII, Cryostasis, and NOLF are my favorites on here. Nobody forgot NOLF though. Huge fan base for the two original titles!
But then we see Haze and Legendary. Seriously? Legendary is horrible! No gamer would say otherwise. It's just trash.
Shawn Long of GAMINGtruth.com takes a look at yet another game that had potential to be great, but just fell flat on it's face.
I remember being excited before booting up this game's demo. I had hoped, like you, that the creators would live up to the story. Sadly, it just didn't happen.
Man, when this came out, I was dying for it to be awesome!
Sadly, that wasn't the case. Great article!
good for them cuz that demo was sh!t
Wondering if they just made it darker so we couldn't see it as well?
Here's the thing, why didn't they just bump the visual panache of the environments and character models up to a new level before the demo was released?
Now they have released a sub par video, word has gotten out that it was crap and they've shot themselves it the foot.
A shame too because I was looking forward to this game.
the fight is on...
Fall of Liberty or Denied Ops:...which will be the worst looking game of 2008?
"The change isn't anything earth shattering" Well, the game in that demo needed a miracle to become something decent and small to medium changes won't help it that much.
Also, is this game really powered by UE3!? Seriously, UE3 is famous for it's superb texture system and one of biggest problems with Fall of Liberty was it's textures.
