Turning Point : FOL Demo Impressions

no ones's made one, so thought i would.

personally. i kinda like it, YES its pretty buggy and YES the graphics are pretty poor, but for some reason i like it. the setting, the whole idea of the game seems interesting....what i would HAVE to have improved upon however is the bugs/glitches and overall low framerate (although there is a LOT going on so its to be expected tbh) but mainly the controls. the 'look' sensitivity needs to be a slider, becasue as it is, medium feels far too slow, and high feels WAY too fast.

sort those things out and i'd gladly pick it up. unless of course its some 4 hour long game then no amount of polish would make me buy it.

either sell it as is at budget price, or fix the issues and they have a customer in me.

a know a lot will dissagree, and i honestly understand why. the flaws, at least visually, couldnt be more obvious, pixilated explosions, some ridiculously low res textures, famerate issues etc. but 90% of the issues are visual. the other 10% is performance and contol related. fix that 10% and im fine with the game since visuals arnt something that make or break a game for me.

so, what you all think of it (even though i kinda know what the responces will be)

oh, one thing that is annoying me, and its to do with all demo's of late, they've all been a gig+ and they last only 10 mins...2 hours + wating for the thing to d/l and it lasts 10 mins, what the hell is with that.

I think it is a very, very, very........ early development demo, some sortof pre-alpha??? I hope so, but the demo at least showcases what I consider another generic fps. Other than a nice a background the game doesn't deliver anything special and since graphics in the demo aren't mindblowing..... They should delay the game to polish it.

It's a fresh idea plagued with all sorts of technical problems. Which is a shame. There are so many scenes within the demo which could have made a much larger impact. The part at the end where you are driven down the street could have been totally awesome if the technology was better. I won't be buying this one.

PS - Couldn't these impressions just have gone in the news thread?

Strange memories on this nervous night in Las Vegas. Has it been five years? Six? It seems like a lifetime.
