<div class="IPBDescription">yay</div> you can find it on www.download.com .
I think it rules! there are bugs with the demo of course (I keep auto switching to my lockpick in combat heh)... but overall I think its a cool game. The cel-shading is AMAZING, it multiplies the atmosphere so much <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

What's also cool is watching the death sequences in your little Sixth Sense box!

    cel shading is one of the most beautiful things you'll see in a game, it looks <b>horrible</b> in screenshots but when you play it there's hardly anything better.

    Jet Grind Radio for life, yo... I probably won't download this, but if you want an example of cel shading done right, look no further than JGR. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Not really a fan of cel-shading and I just didn't like the demo, couldn't get my sensitivity right.

    yeah; posted this awhile ago on IRC; nothing new in terms of gameplay, but loved the style... (specially headshots)

    I think they should of made it humorous like NOLF, instead of the serious "Borne Identity" plot.

    Blech, I also hate cel-shading, though the game looks interesting.

    I don't like JGR, just ugly to me. Annoying also. It seems to take more work, but to me it looks worse than realistically rendered games. They look more sprite like in appearance...It just seems like a step backwards to me.

    I tried it. The first level was pretty damn good, but the second was too 'pseudo sneak' to me. This is supposed to be a straight shooter. Why not stay with that?

    if you guys want great cel shading, get the wind waker, it's just done amazingly. It'll turn the non-believers.

    cel shading is just a graphics technique... nobody says that bump mapping or dynamic shadows are bad...


    I liked the demo, although i wished i could save mid-level..

    I have, and I still don't like it. I don't really even like the Wind Waker all that much either. It just looks <i>waaay</i> to cartoonish for me. Links head is bigger than his body!

    The game is pretty good, but it lacks substance. Once you get over the "ooh, purdy, like a comic", all that's left is a simple shooter.

    I don't know how many servers are left, but for a cel-shaded HL mod, I really liked the look of <a href='http://www.buzzybots.dk/' target='_blank'>BuzzyBots</a>.

    I'm not sure how big it is anymore though... when I tried it a while ago, there weren't many servers and few players in the first place... <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Games are going to hit the ceiling of realism in the coming years. We arent far off to photo realisitic realtime rendering.

    Once that happens, graffic becomes boring and we wont be entertained. Wow it looks real.....great.

    I love the trend towards more artisitc and hyper realistic graffic.

    Play Zelda: Legend of the Wind Walker. It looks fantastic.
