daily UTC chat log for Anywherebb (Postline 6.1.30)
19:50, Raptorjedi bows down to Ubisoft
19:51, Raptorjedi> Beyond Good and Evil 2... holy shit
20:53, Buuks> great news, I love adventure games.
20:53, Buuks> and they announced a new Prince Of Persia game. Which isn't a quite surprise, since there will be a PoP-movie.
22:53, Raptorjedi> Screw Prince of Persia, Beyond Good and Evil was one of the best games ever in my opinion, but it didn't sell well at all. It's pure luck that there is even going to be a second game
23:50, Cryoburner> I still haven't installed my copy yet. :P
23:52, Cryoburner> The new Prince of Persia might be cool.
01:50, Chad> Another BGE? Woo!
01:54, Chad> And the Space MMO I've been watching is finally getting some updates... sorta... :P
01:54, Raptorjedi> Which one is that?
01:55, Chad> http://www.newworlds-rtp.com/
01:56, Chad> There supposed to release some video of combat and what-not.
02:02, Chad> But if you look around the forums alot of information about gameplay and other things are told, of course most could change as time goes on. But it look promising.
02:05, Raptorjedi> We'll see, I'll hold off on saying something like "I bet it's a clone of EVE" until I see a video :P
02:06, Chad> Yeah, they had that asked already. :P
05:02, Fth> http://kotaku.com/5011404/ubisoft-officially-announces-beyond-good--evil-2 we get a trailer, but they don't show us newJade :/
05:02, Fth is kinda torn about the style
05:06, Raptorjedi> Well it is just a teaser. Though I'm most disappointed that they don't seem to be using the same voice actor for Pey'j
05:06, Raptorjedi> They were teasing us with Jade, since you almost see her face a few times.
05:44, Duskesko> I never played the first once since people I knew said it was bad?!?! Is it really that awesome? I WAS looking into it way back then!
05:51, Raptorjedi> It's really awesome.
05:51, Raptorjedi> The story was great, the gameplay was great.
05:51, Raptorjedi> I loved the whole thing with the camera.
05:51, Raptorjedi> The plus side to getting it now is, if you happen to be crazy and not like it, you would have only spent like 4 dollars (or less) buying a copy.
05:52, Raptorjedi> Copies are dirt cheap these days
05:56, Raptorjedi> Speaking of dirt, I just thought of something.
05:56, Raptorjedi> I wonder if I crushed up a bunch of red bricks into a fine dust, and put it on ebay as Martian Soil, how much would it sell for? :P
05:59, Raptorjedi> More importantly, would it still sell if I labled it as "Crushed bricks"? :P
06:13, Fth> http://kotaku.com/5011404/ubisoft-officially-announces-beyond-good--evil-2 so others can see it too :P
06:50, Duskesko> Installing UT goty edition on my laptop! yay
06:51, Duskesko> oh holy crap, cdrom spazzed out there for a second.
06:52, Duskesko> someone needs to be sure to repost that link if i push it off the screen again >_>
06:54, Duskesko> Heh, the packaging shows the UT trophy and i can tell the statues on top are holding "Eight Ball" rocket launchers from Unreal. Not the rocket launcher in UT.
07:18, Fth> makes sense, statues = old stuff
07:29, Duskesko> you're right =D
07:29, Duskesko> lol, my laptop bugs UT out. it runs the game at double gamespeed unless i hit the power save button that cuts my processor to half speed.
07:30, Duskesko> graphics chipset can handle high res textures but 1024x768 screen res is too much for it! AHAH! weird thirdparty stuff.
07:32, Duskesko> got it runnin mighty fine at 800x600 though, windowed of course. I find I'm much more skilled and feel more at home on UT when its a lower resolution and small.
07:32, Duskesko> FTH, repost that link!XD
07:33, Duskesko> FOR GREAT JUSTICE!
07:33, Duskesko> on a side note, i may try running UT with OpenGL as the renderer since Quake 3 arena runs like a dream.
11:53, Megagun> UT's graphics code is a total shitmess that runs horribly on modern systems.
12:14, Cryoburner> I don't think it's the graphics code so much as the timing.
