    Some of the Developers have played gloom. It had a big influence on NS, that's sure. Most people here now it already since there were many topics with nearly the same header. That's the reason why you'll perhaps get a bit unfriendly answers <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->  hope not
    Anyways, welcome to the dark forums of evolution!

    agreeing with Ramses for the most part, but to a lesser degree.  Though I have never played gloom, from what I've heard there are some similarities but not many.  NS is rather original.

    Aye, I've played it. Gloom is fun, but extremely difficult to even start at. The marines hardly ever stick together in it, and the aliens slaughter them when they're alone. That's what'll make NS different in one part. Marines sticking together.

    Also, I think in NS, any Marine can build stuff.

    I'm not sure that's true. Part of our dev team have played it and enjoyed it, but I really don't think it played much of a part when deciding what NS shall be like.

    I can see how one could get the idea, but Gloom is more... hmm.... futuristic and... umm... it has more "spider"-like aliens.

    ahh, cool, thanks for the replies.  i never saw any topics and from when i saw NS i thought it was almost a Gloom port to HL, boy was i wrong!!   and yea, the teamwork in Gloom is kinda few and far between thats for sure =\
