Pariah

[Slaiv]

Pariah - a game that I only recently noticed; but, as it is looking very promising, I thought I would enlighten those of you that haven't heard of it. For now, I'm just going to overview it:

 

-A first-person shooter for PC, XBox, and possibly PS2

-Incredible graphics; ultra-impressive textures

-Good Physics

-You play a drug-addicted medic stranded on a devastated, desolate planet known as Earth

-Multiplayer

-Easy to use, deep, intuitive level editor included on all systems

-Vehicle support

-Modify and upgrade your weapons

-An involving [GASP!!!] storyline in an FPS

-Multiple Endings

Also, check the IGNXbox or IGNPC previews. I can't find the links right now because I have to read 130 more pages of Ivanhoe and do a project on it within the next 5 hours.

 

I'll add more later.

 

P.S. The screenshots don't do it justice. Watch the trailer on the website.

I've just read the PCZone preview of this (first for games, all year round) and i'm really excited. If all their claims of having a decent storyline, along with all the other Unreal goodness from these guys, then we could be looking at a very hot prospect on our hands. That is, after we're all done upgrading and playing until our eyes bleed with HL2. B)

This looks pretty cool, but I can't help think bad thoughts every time a game is released on multiplayer platforms at one time.

 

Look at San Andreas: it's coming out on PC (maybe Xbox) in August '05.

 

Anyway, that's the only thing I have against it.

 

Love the "story" aspect. :lol:

The story's what I want.... It's been a good while since any FPS had a good storyline. Since any game, actually, has had a good storyline.

 

Take Halo for example - too many losers say "Oh, man - Halo's story is incredible!" And I have only one thing to say - what story? ;)

 

Let's hope the multiplatform plague can be overcome. Because if it can't, Oblivion's gonna suck.
