Gamespot Movies

Just watched some of the new movies released on gamespot. The game is looking really good but I do to agree with some other people about the speed of the disc launcher. It seems like its moving in slow motion or somethin, hopefully this will be fixed, cant wait to see some more vids.

How can you tell? All the movies are low quality, and frankly, you haven't even played the game.

Are you sure you just aren't thinking that because someone else mentioned it?

Thrax stated that it actually moves faster than previous disks... I think it's just the slightly different perspective on the screen, and possibly the trail length.

Stuff like that can be adjusted during beta, however, I wouldn't look for it to be adjusted much...

It's a combination of things, but measuring the actual scale speed is not the important thing. It's how it feels. If you're going 500 scale kph, but you feel slow, it's still not right. The number in a simulation like this is pointless. It's the feel that matters (gravity in T1 and T2 Classic were identical. Doesn't make T2 gravity feel right).

Thrax after watching KP tear it up for a bit the speed looks decent. I'm just wondering how much further a player can push it especially with say .. oh .. a disk jump? :D

Also please boost the speed of the disk chucker if at all possible. It really looks slow right now. Anyways, I had a blast watching the conference man. Can't wait to see what you monkeys can do with this game. Lates.

I didn't find the speed of the discs to be that much of a problem. Seemed reasonable to me.

Imo, the "slowness" of the discs are what provides the player with the greatest satisfaction when it hits an MA. It demands more skill from the player, as the player needs to consider both the direction (and possible direction change) of the target, as well as the time required for the disc to reach the target. :shrug:

The discs are fine imho.. and that reload animation kicks ass.
As I saw it, the hand grenade seems to have an explosion the same size as the mortar.. o_O wtf

nothing like bitching about gameplay tweaks 6+ months out

lol, can someone host the Items and weapons video plz.

I'll play it no matter what,
1)because its tribes
2)because it looks pretty
3)because I love you guys

Thrax, I havnt heard much about missile launchers? Will they still lock onto heat? I'd really like to carry some nades, other than flares.... :roller:

man, where have you been?

NO ML. Rocket pods with direction control after they're fired (up to 6 at a time)

Yeah I saw that stuff, I just wasnt sure if they might put in turrets with ML or something?

I didn't have a problem with the disk speed at all. I'm quite thrilled with the way that gun is turning out.

I took another look at the movies, and I think the disc speed is probably fine, but the trail is far too long, making it seem like it's not fast enough. (others have suggested the same and I'm agreeing)

Where can I get this video?

I just happend to watch the conference video again. The disc speed seems good from the trailer that was shown in the begining of the conference. I love the mortar gun its cool but the explosion jus needs to be tweaked and it will be perfect. Mad Props to thrax and the rest of the team the game is looking Awesome even with 6 months left of production!

Hey thrax what happend to the smoke that would come out of the jet packs? After watching the new vids I didnt really notice any smoke coming from the jet packs but 2 little black puffs.

I'm actually kinda glad they didn't go with the larger smoke fx. With more players running around all over it would pollute the environment. :D

Yeah it did. It looks good though.

gamespot wants money, if someone wants to DCC the movies to me in IRC i can host them
