The Thing looks pretty sweet

[Tactics]

I just checked it out over at gamespot and the SS's look nice. We need more scarier games put out. Undying was the last real scary one besides AvP2 as the marine. Playing Undying with the lights out damn near gave me a heart attack on a few occasions. :eek:

Edit: here's the actual site

WOW looks realy good , remainds me of Half Life :eek: need to get need to get........

[fishlung]

I saw the game in action at the San Diego Comic Con... Eh, I dunno what to tell ya. I've seen the movie a bazillion times. I love the movie, but how interesting can the game be? Hm... I keep hoping for the next System Shock 2... one can hope :)

[-=DVS=-]

Yeah System Shock 2 was awesome , very sceary also , it could look so sweet with newest DX8.1 engine like Doom 3 or Unreal 2

with shadows and effects *drool* :p

Man that's one game I never played. System Shock 2. I heard it was killa. I wonder if I can still buy it. I'm sure if I do some research i can grab it.

[-=DVS=-]

its not real First Person Shooter you should know , its slow shooter lol its more like RPG action quest not for kids actualy , complex and not so easy :D

One of its kind hehe , graphics will be outdate to todays standarts but if you get tell us how you like it ;)

You can still buy it. I see it in stores here for like 19 bucks or less. This game is totally worth owning, regardless of how dated it looks.

Made by the same game designer (Warren Spector) that brought you Deus Ex (and soon Deus Ex 2!!), Thief, and Thief 2.

Get it.

hehe system shock 2 had one of the greatest endings of all time imo ))

[prydah]

yeah its at fry's electronics for around $12.99 or $9.99

yeah i liked the thing movie. i watched it long long ago. i just remember it was scary

i hope the game is just as good

For a movie title, this game is looking suprisingly good.

[DoinkyBottoms]

System Shock 2 was so freaky I couldn't play it. All those weird freaks groaning and coming from behind while you try to deal with the automated machine guns... AvP2 aged me 2 years easy. Undying nearly killed me. Still weren't as bad as SS2.

The Thing would be pretty freaky if it had friendly guys aka half-life that followed you around until all of a sudden... groan...stretch..creak..mmmUUHHHHH!!!!!..:eek:

[de><ta]

Yeah love those kinda game which totally scare you. Avp and AVP2 scared me big time. Especially when u are in a room with that flashig strobe light and u see an alien... arghhh

Real sweet playing it with the sub woofer directly behind the back of your chair.

There is another game called CALL OF CHTHULU which is another claustrophobic kinda games. You have real time phobia's hallucinations etc depending on ur character. (it FPS)

The THING looks ok, hope it has a good story line and game play...

yea really, cause most movie games sux, I guess we'll see....

o anyone know what engine they're using?

[fishlung]

Hm... my only question is whether or not I should get this for the PS2. It looks like it might be better suited to a controller.

[wysiwyg]

i have the game.

the graphics are VERY nice.

bump mapping everywhere you look :cool:

makes things look very real. nice lighting effects too. and the "things" looks very gross as they have shiny textures.

ill post some screenies when i get home tonight :D

oh.... the game itself...

its certainly designed for the console. you cant look up and down with the mouse. the game is quite kreepy too. nicely animated models too.:)

its great too the way your companions become frightened, makes them much more believable.

[de><ta]

holy smoke thats a scary game, still in the early stages. But man it is spooky... :)

The sounds are real nice, helps create the right atmosphere...

[Nephilim]

Sh*t, I didn't know it was out already!

I need to go get it....I LOVE scary games.

[de><ta]

I dont know where my friend <cough> Mr. money Pants </cough> got the game from but hey i played it and i love it...

Have not got far into the game but scary as hell....

[DoinkyBottoms]

You can't look up and down with the mouse? Do you have some kind of beta? That's like reverse evolution. If the retail is like that here's one person who won't buy it. Maybe when it's discounted--coughdownloadcough--I will try it.

[de><ta]

whatever u do dont watch the e3 trailer. It spoils the entire friggin game:mad:

[fasedww]

I just got it sunday at bestbuy, there selling it for 39.99, I had a 20% coupon from my PC gamer mag, so cost me 34.00, You got squad member's to interact with and you interact with your envirnment with different item's, got a cool flame thrower. sound is good, graphics are pretty good, the game only requires direct X 8.0;)

Between that and Deus Ex, i'd pick DX

The story of DX is more appealing.

Also, you are given like NO information about what different skills/attributes do in SS2, so you have no idea how to develop your character

[DaveW]

This game is scary!

[DoinkyBottoms]

I agree, they are very similar, except for the scare factor that Dues Ex lacks. Dues is much more fun to play especially if you like to sneak around.

[fishlung]

They're different games, of course. The Thing is of the survival horror genre. I should be picking it up this week for my PS2. Looks way cool. And since it has the music and other elements from the movie, well, I will totally love it. :) Woohoo!
