Saber Warrior Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 It's official! UFO: Aftermath has gone gold and I'm counting the days till I get my hands on it. Unfortunately judging from the screenshots, I'm not very impressed. Heh, maybe it's the cynic in me so let's hope I'm wrong. Besides, Silent Storm is coming out soon as well (though the theme is WWII) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 UFO:Aftermath may not be perfect, but it's as close to a X-Com fix as you'll get in years... I'm thrilled! And there you have a Aftermath thread not started by me Vet. In your face! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strong Bob Posted September 13, 2003 Report Share Posted September 13, 2003 I've already placed my comments on the off topic forum. Although my opinion is right up there with Saber Warrior's, it's more due to the more linear UFO crashes than simply the graphics. (Which is what I'm gathering to be your peeve with it, please correct me if I got it backwards. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saber Warrior Posted September 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2003 Heh the graphics is one of the reasons but I'm also curious about the technology tree. Maybe I liked that Marsec Armor from Apoc too much cuz the armor design in Aftermath is just plain weird! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowBlade Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 I can't wait to get my hands on UFO: Aftermath! It has great graphics, seems excellent gameplay-wise and is related to X-COM! I really hope it lives up to my expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strong Bob Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 It may be good, but I won't get too optimistic. I was brutally scarred by the utter disappointment Ultima 9 turned out to be after almost a decade of hype. Thus I've learned to expect the worst from games as anticipated as this. If it's truly that good, I'll be glaringly impressed and it'll be all the better in my perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 Agree with you Strong Bob. But I have a good feeling about UFO:Aftermath:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowBlade Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 Yes, of course. I've also had disappointments with games before, but you must consider that all the reviews so far are very good (86%!), and so are the previews. However, the thing that bothers me is that Altar Interactive's last game, Original War was clearly a failure, so I hope it doesn't happen the same again with UFO: Aftermath.

Strong Bob Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 86% isn't too good to me. I've been let down by games judged to be in the mid 90% by PC Gamer before. I'll reserve my true opinion for when they air a demo, or if I just go buy the thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim69 Posted September 17, 2003 Report Share Posted September 17, 2003 I expect nothing therefore anything good will be an improvement. I learnt that from MGS2 and I will never make the mistake again. Never the less I still feel a certain level of excitement I don't usually get anymore. Feels good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
