Absolutely Astounding

<div class="IPBDescription">could this happen to ns?</div> This is slightly off-topic, but can be linked to NS so I thought I'd post it here.

<a href='http://www.rasterwerks.com/dev.public/phosphor_alpha_4_248.htm' target='_blank'>http://www.rasterwerks.com/dev.public/phos...alpha_4_248.htm</a> (requires flash, and an extra plugin is useful but not needed, it should prompt if you need).

I can't really describe how amazing this is, but it's flash.

Can you imagine what NS would be like on this?

Let me know what you think of it!

    Just played some of that, and all i can say is, amazing. How that could have possibly have been done in flash blows my mind

    Those sound effects take me way back.

    That performs beautifully on my machine, but I question how amazing it would look when 16 or 26 other people got involved.

    ( I don't question that it's only a matter of time before that too would look amazing -- as computers just get cooooler and coooooler as time goes on )

    Thanks for sharing. That's very interesting.

    I can't play it. In FF there is just a blank part of the page above the text. In IE it shows an image outline with the 'Image Cannot Be Displayed' image in the corner. Any ideas on what I need to download to get this to work?

    I have nothing special installed and it ran on mine, make sure you have flash from <a href='http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash' target='_blank'>http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/downlo...=ShockwaveFlash</a>

    There is one more plugin that can be used, but doesn't seem to be essential. It will prompt you to get it.

    It uses Shockwave.

    Very impressive considering that, but I don't understand why you would want NS ported to it... It's a nice gimmick and I'm sure you can make some great Shockwave games but it doesn't hold a candle to something like Source and is probably less functional than even the HL engine...

    are the textures rediculously screwed up for anyone else?
  • theclamtheclam Join Date: 2004-08-01 Member: 30290Members
    It doesn't even hold a candle to Q3, much less Source.

    It's a cool demo for Shockwave, but it's nothing revolutionary, at all.

    It's pretty damn cool, wouldn't've thought the code basis could be fast enough for it. Thanks for sharing.

    damn fine game for flash but i'd rather see NS to the source engine


    that and it'd probably be easier to import all the levels and models over from half-life to a "native" engine.

    Toothy, that isn't flash, it's shockwave. This explains how they did it in shockwave because shockwave has a built-in 3d engine. Flash does not.

    Yeah, I remember playing a crappy little Shockwave FPS where you were stuck on a ship... or something. Looked similar to that one, but ran really slowly, and the controls were atrocious. But it was definitely just as 3D as that one was.

    Holy **** man. Excellent. We need to see more internet games like this and less lame flash games.

    If you're interested in more Shockwave games:

    <a href='http://jp.shockwave.com/games/games.html' target='_blank'>http://jp.shockwave.com/games/games.html</a>

    There's quite a few addictive ones there, though I haven't been to the site in forever so I don't remember which ones :S I do remember an Aliens-esque one (also an FPS) being on there somewhere...

    I like it. *bookmarks it*
    I didn't wanna go install Unreal Tournament GOTYE after
    playing it, but I did feel like firing up UT2004 and running
    some people over.... Just me I guess.

    Has anyone managed to get more than 1 person playing in the same match? My friend and I were playing at the exact same time, but we were each in a 1v1 bot match...

    Edit: Nevermind, just saw the server options...

    Well, one thing to remember is that this doesn't require long installs, Steam, or anything else.

    It's just really accessible. That's why the concept of an advanced game like NS being on something like this (which is, at this point, probably impossible) is kind of cool.

    Something uniquely cool about launching an IE window, connecting to a site, and then being in the game. I don't think anyone seriously wants NS "ported" to this, it was just a neat "imagine if..." concept to think about.

    And it is a cool concept. =P

    It's not flash, it's shockwave apparently. Shockwave has a built in 3d engine, or so the good folks here say.
