Pete Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 UFO Aftermath has now been released in a lot of countries worldwide to cheers all round and very favourable reviews. Unfortunately, its not released in the UK until tomorrow, but I can wait without going completely insane for one more day. If you want to check out all the latest news and hype about this new tactical squad-based strategy game, then head on over to our sister site at UFOAftermath.co.uk. If you fancy ordering the game whilst you're there, please click one of the two shop links below the pre-order graphic, as we get back a small amount of every sale to puttoward server costs. Besides, teh two shops we linked to - Amazon.co.uk and Chips&Bits, both have the lowest prices for the UK and the US respectively and Amazon will ship ANYWHERE in the EU Anyway... Get all excited if you fancy playing a game that's not X-COM (for a little while at least - I know how addictive X-COM is ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted October 3, 2003 Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 Hope I get the game today... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cutedge Posted October 7, 2003 Report Share Posted October 7, 2003 The UFO Aftermath forum is fixed... so why is this one still white? Anyway. If you're in the US and you want to get UFO Aftermath, I suggest you preorder from Gamestop. They have a deal where you get a t-shirt with it. Now if only we could get X-Com t-shirts...

Loonie Posted October 7, 2003 Report Share Posted October 7, 2003 The UFO Aftermath forum is fixed... so why is this one still white? Because Pete is too busy on playing Aftermath rather than on X-Com! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morsey Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 Well, spill the beans, did you enjoy it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 I'm loving it! There is one things you should know though. It may look similar to X-Com, but it plays very different. So if you buy it expecting a sequel to the X-Com games, you may get disappointed. But if you buy it as a squad-based tactical game you'd like to try, I am sure you'll like it. Take a look at the poll at our site: https://www.ufoaftermath.co.uk As you can see there are over 100 votes from registered users, and most of them are fairly positive, don't you think?

The Veteran Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 I went to buy it today and ended up coming home with starlancer It wouldn't be so bad if it actually ran without crashing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted October 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2003 The skin for the Aftermath forums is not complete. Invision Power Services are about to release version 1.3 of this forum software that adds a few tweaks and upgrades. I thought it would be wise to wait for that version rather than create a skin adn be forced to recreate it again for another version in a few days time After 1.3, the skin upgrading will become infinitely easier as the admin panel will tell you which parts of the skin have changed. (yay!). As for Aftermath, I'm on the last mission and getting my arse kicked. This is on easy setting too! The game is VERY dificult towards the end, but if you're willing to change your tactics and weapons load-out every so often, then you should get by with the minimum of game reloading And no, this is not a game where you can get by without reloading. Someone please feel free to try it and tell me otherwise tho Anywho, all forum skins will be up to date soon. I should be working on them again this weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strong Bob Posted October 13, 2003 Report Share Posted October 13, 2003 Hasn't even been a week and you're already close to finishing the game? Ack, mine interest in Aftermath is declining... Surely the game isn't that short, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted October 13, 2003 Report Share Posted October 13, 2003 The game is ANYTHING but short, and hard as hell! The X-Com games is a walk in the park compared... Seriously though, this game is hard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cutedge Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 Yeah, it's hard. TFTD hard even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strong Bob Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Yeah but tell me... What is it like on a linearity scale? I like games that are wide open and realistic. What I saw in the interview was something that looked awfully fixed and was hinted as to being mission based. It may be harder... But is there as much freedom as X-COM? That was my main love for the series alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 You can play for as long as you wish, but there are some story missions needed to progress... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vengeance Squirrel Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Totally off the mark here, but i'm new to these forums and there is one thing that is really annoying me. I can't get either of the 2 original x-com's to display properly on my machine, i tend to get a scrambled display, and I think it might be somethiing to do wih win XP. Does anyone know of any pathes available to stop this, has any one else had the same problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 First out, there's a UFO:Aftermath demo out! You can read more here: https://www.ufoaftermath.co.uk/?c=Demo&p=demo As for the X-Com games, take a look here: https://www.geocities.com/f0dder/misc.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Where can I find MilkShape3D plugins for UFO Aftershock and Afterlight's models? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 We only have the one for Aftermath I believe. It could probably be made to work with Aftershock and Afterlight if one put a little work into it. I suggest you send a PM to Fulby to check what he thinks. Besides that, you can check out the official Aftershock and Afterlight forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
