GAMEOVERGAMES PRODUCTIONS'S PROFILE

After decades of training, I have beaten the original Contra (without cheating!). Now this hardcore gamer will train for three decades to beat the even harder Super C.


O yeah, I beat Contra 4 too.

Well this is coming a few days late, but a few days ago I finished the Pokemon Hunter 4 demo (with something like 42/49 secrets I think it said).

First of all, I get and don't mind the whole uses Pokemon, but not a normal Pokemon game thing, but did you really have to Anyway, the setting is pulled off pretty well, and switching pokemon rather than just equipment'n such for the battles is more interesting. I liked the switching between groups at day and night, and would like to see some use of it in solving puzzles later on (but then again, having to end the day and switch to the other group just for a certain puzzle might get tedious).

One thing that really jumped out at me though was the variety of, well some you can't really call puzzles so I'll call them obstacles, in the game. It starts off rather simple, with following a pokemon's tracks through a forest and finding a couple of sharp pieces of ice to get up a slippery slope, but then you have trying to race over a bunch of holes before the switch you pressed pops back out a fire erupts through them again, riding boulders across lava, and a boulder puzzle that actually falls from a collapsing cave's ceiling while you go through it (I thought that this was a particularly nice touch). Also, the tracking training minigame made me dizzy. Stupid feet that look like arrows.

Instead of using the same old hide potions and stuff in pots and drawers, having to search around the dungeons and in a few cases come back to the dungeon after the boss is beaten to find hidden items was something I had fun with. (I like to explore.)

I thought that the rtp mapping is decently done, and for the most part the pokemon and rtp charactersets work together just fine, though I have one complaint with the area outside the town that connects to the other areas. It seemed kind of confused as to whether it was a world map sort of area or full-sized area, mainly because of the little world map trees and mountains being used in combination with the more full-sized temple entrance.

Overall, I think this will turn out to be an ok game when it's finished, and I'll probably play it to the end when it is completed.


I also downloaded and finished Generica today. It was fun while it lasted.

The current implementation of antialiasing used on Radeon cards causes significant problems for the engine. In the game no seamless level transitions can be displayed, and it is also possible for the programs to crash depending on the version of the drivers that are used. It is therefore recommended that antialiasing is not used on Radeon cards. Also, Radeon users should set their texture quality to maximum to ensure that OpenGL games will use 32bit textures.

(That's the problem with no one reading the ReadMes!)

But yeah, if antialiasing is disabled, and if the shadows are set to simple, it should run just fine on your system. If it still lags after that then I bet setting the resolution to 320x240 would make it run like a charm.
Also, you said something about an OpenGL error?

I do believe that I am going to try out Pokemon Hunter 4. I mean, if someone has the dedication to get to the fourth game in a series in which each game is of decent length and to keep improving on that series, it should get some attention.

B.L.O.B.: Biological Launched Obstruction\Barrier. A secret non-lethal weapons program, with quite a few other uses, that has been being worked on for several years by some of the brightest Camdonian minds. It has finally been advanced far enough to be used, and already has been integrated into an updated version of the standard combat suit, with back up kinetic generators to make sure the energy to living mass converters aren't depleted while in the field. You, a loyal veteran of Camdonia, are to be the first one to test out this prototype. Its use might be needed soon. After all, surely it will serve some purpose in the ongoing cold war with our neighboring countries.







We completely dropped the ball with getting all the dialogue done for the next area, but this demo has a completed tutorial and menu!
