Posted by: Bradley Marsh on January 31, 2013 in News

Special Forces: Team X (STX) is a team centric 3rd Person cover based shooter, featuring brutal firefights between elite squads of special force operatives. STX takes place in tomorrow’s world, one that is infested with conflicts amongst the geo-political power brokers.

It's some hacks who have somehow gotten their hands on the Microprose trademark.

I know.

But it is still adds a one further polish to my personal "Glittering Gem"...

Are the subtleties of older games lost on modern audiences? I was watching Game Informers look back at Thief the Dark Project and they were calling moss arrows stupid, oblivious to the purpose to quieting your steps and how this benefits you, or calling water arrows stupid, once again short sighted in their application.

Do modern audiences simply not get these things?

That video annoyed me way too much. They kept doing the same thing over and over again wondering why they got killed and then blamed the game for not aging well.

Link to the video?

You don't wanna see it. Trust me. It is just a guy getting killed by the same guard for nearly 15 minutes.

This is my last warning. These guys are complete idiots and it will frustrate you. Don't dew it anon.

 

[Rivmusique]

Skipped through. That was disgusting.

He's not even crouching. HE'S NOT EVEN CROUCHING!

 

[Lancehead]

You generally don't need to crouch in Thief.

Having never played Thief until months ago, it pleases me to see that I'm much better at playing games than those jokes at Game Informer and am able to provide non-stupid criticisms of its many weaknesses.

 

[Zewp]

But watch the video. The guy is so abysmal at playing the game that I've even wondered if Eidos Montreal didn't perhaps pay them to do it so that dumb consoletarted plebians can think the new Thief will be better.

nothing to fell smug about, to be fair. Thief is a very casual game.

Huminds asked 7 Nov

Why would anyone consider using Turn Based combat instead of RTwP?

Turn Based combat is always a slow and low intensity affair. Why would anyone go that route in this day and age?
GZiets responded 9 hours ago

Depends on your target audience and the pace of your game, for a start.

Despite the greater popularity of real-time combat, turn-based gaming (especially grid-based) is a qualitatively different experience that – in my opinion – evokes traditional tabletop strategy games like chess. The market for such games will always be smaller, but they do have a niche audience that’s underserved by the market. So in the age of Kickstarter, it’s perfectly viable to target that audience… and since there aren’t many titles that offer a turn-based experience, you’re likely to catch the attention of a pretty big share of that niche audience. With a small budget, that can make for a very profitable game.

Another reason has to do with the overall pace and tone you’re trying to set for your game. Sometimes a slower-paced approach fits better with the themes, narratives, and ideas that you’re attempting to explore. A turn-based approach might put players in a more thoughtful, strategic mind set, and that might be perfect for the game world you’re trying to create. It certainly wouldn’t work for Diablo, but every game has to find its own equilibrium, and even if most games are using real-time combat (or first-person shooting, or whatever), that doesn’t always mean it’s what’s best for *your* game.

Frankly i would not waste so much words on this fool but Ziets is the man.

People like Huminds don't like TBC because it requires them to actually do something other than move their party into an area and click the health potion button every once in a while.

 

[Athelas]

Neither side is doing themselves any favors in the battle of TB vs RTwP. It makes both groups look about as mature as the angry 12 year old Call of Duty players.

 

[catfood]

Those forums are disgusting. Why do these devs hang around those cesspools? Why not hang around this one?

In a battle between children, what truly matters is who started it.

That's not a forum, it's George's personal Spring.me page. People ask him questions there.

Like Fallout?

You have to click the other guys too. See? Added complexity.

Spoiler

Fallout's combat is not very good, news at 11

 

[Roguey]

Most turn-based games are sadly not very good. Damn shame because they have the potential to be wonderful.

 

[evdk]

It's a matter of preference. The problem with the question was not that the asker preferred RTwP, but the "in this day and age" aka "technical limitations" bit.

EDIT: But of course you knew that and I am falling for your bullshit again.
