 Posted: Fri, 22nd Sep 2006 09:39 Post subject: Overlord |
|
 |
| Quote: | Overlord is a groundbreaking action adventure, set in a seriously warped fantasy world, launching for PC and as a console exclusive for the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft.
Controlling a mysterious figure that has inherited the legacy of the evil, long-dead Overlord, the player emerges, near death, from the ruins of the old Overlord’s Dark Tower. Only the player’s actions will determine if they will rise to become the new all-powerful Overlord; it’s all down to how much of a bad ass they want to be in order to succeed...evil or really evil! Played out with plenty of black humour and dark irony, the game will immerse players in twisted parodies of classic fantasy scenarios and characters.
Overlord’s key innovation is the introduction of an array of impish creatures – the Minions. They believe you are the old Overlord reborn and will use their unique skills to fetch, fight and die for you. Throughout the game players will actively control a horde of these gremlin-like critters and they’ll follow your every instruction no matter how despotic or, for the Minions, life threatening it is. |

So why the hell should it be fake screenshots? Get your head out of yer arse and open your eyes instead.

*ignoring racial discrimination*
okay okay, they were to small and too good-looking. the big ones look quite real.
still it's a common solution to put semi-fake screenshots of pre-rendered game content composed in photoshop + some nice effects added. they only thing they're faking is the final picture quality coz everything is rendered with global illumination, soft shadows etc but when the release comes it's much simpler and less impressive.
I still remeber those delta force 2 or LW early screens with explosions, smoke effects and some other stuff so obviously done n Photoshop )) we never saw that in the game itself afterwards )

No, but it does make a hell of a lot of difference on what you claimed he said. People always seem to call everything racism nowadays.

Aren't Russians a race of their own?.... You may also be interested to hear that language is always evolving and changing, so misuse today is correct use tomorrow. |

omg, lol, i only said that early screens are OFTEN fake because developers NEED th show something but they ain't got it YET. why are they so concerned about early leaks etc - because they are afraid consumers will think the game looks bad while in fact it's just not completed yet. The same goes with the early official screenshots - they know what the game will look like but they can't show the real thing, it's not done yet! That's where the super pre-renders and photoshop editing comes in.
i never said the game or the engine is bad, you ignorant moron ) and russian racing games and/or engines have nothing to do with that either. that's why i ask again - what's your goddamn problem? i never ever said an english, french or norwegian game was bad because it's english french or norwegian. so SHUT. THE FUCK. UP about russian/non-russian.

what the hell is going on this forum? one russian guy says that a bunch of unreleased game screens are photoshoped and already we got a no-life 50 years old polish grandpa and some needforspeed obsessed, immature fuck going bonkers over his nationality.. way to go nforce!
p.s. this russian guy, just happens to know english way better then most EU/US geniuses in this forum.
