The Ship

[2ltben]

Its 15$.
I think I might have to get this game, it sounds like it could be really fun. reminds me of an idea I had about a multiplayer version of one of the hitman games.

Its a port of the HL1 version. Give that a try before you buy.

If it's just a port then why the hell did it take so long to make? Porting HL1 games to Source is very easy, all that was required to do was to change the graphics.. I do not believe it is a port.

 

[2ltben]

Its not easy to port because the only thing that's portable is code, and even then not all of it. They had to make new maps, new player models, reformat or completely redo the audio to fit with the new audio system, and I doubt its a 100% port. There are bound to be some changes just as there are changes in any update.

It is not a port. Just check out the list of features...

I liked the mod, but I can't justify spending $20 on a Source version.

u bought RO: ostfront right?

 

[Kurt Naake]

Do I need anything else to buy in order to play this game? Like Hl2?

Or can I just get it for $20?

The Ship is a standalone game. You don't need any other game in order to run it.

Also, this $15 ($20) will be for the multiplayer and arcade style single player (basically multiplayer but with bots). There will be a seperate "story mode" released later for $10 via Steam, but this will be more towards 2007 before its release.

At that time, it will be released in stores for roughly $30-$35 and contain both the multiplayer and single player story mode in one package. Steam users who buy the multiplayer now, won't have to buy the story mode single player, but if they do it will still be cheaper than retail and contain the same content.

Thanks.

It's on the Unreal 2.5 engine, and not the Source engine.

 

[Arrowhead]

purchased and preloaded.

but I would like to know, what exactly were you disappointed with sabot?

 

[Rumo]

No, you don't need any other games, but you will need Steam.

I think he meant that RO was mod before. The Ship is not straight port over from Goldsource engine (HL1). It has lot more like RO had lot more than the mod has.

 

[Arrowhead]

The Ship source is vastly different from the HL1 mod. the mod was simply used as proof of concept. nothing was actually ported over.

mhm, I guess

 

[2ltben]

I'll buy it if servers stop playing Elimination mode.

 

[Rossa]

Hey, this game's pretty fun.
It's like a Sims/Hitman-hybrid

 

[Lionel-RIchie]

I played it a little bit...I love the idea...but...hearing "Hmm!" "yes?!" "Greeeetings!" over and over and over all at once was annoying.

 

[2ltben]

One of the best games I've purchased. All I've played is singleplayer but so far I love it.

 

[deceiver]

Knew you would like it =).

 

[Lionel-RIchie]

Now I read that there are no AI "innocents" wandering around the ship in this version...is this true?

I'm trying to debate whether or not to get the game...I wish they'd have a free weekend
