Sacred 2

Postby Twystyd » Thu Sep 04, 2008 11:20 am

Ting and I were thinking of checking this out this month. I know its carebear but it looks pimp as shit. Anyone else checking it out?

The game supports up to 16 players on 3 different gaming platforms (PC, 360, PS3). Full physics environment with over 200 seamless dungeons. Pretty cool graphics and a storyline based around angels, demons and half naked elves....good stuff.

At least check out the trailer - http://www.gametrailers.com/player/33308.html

The game looked like asshole when I saw it at PaX this year. Framerates were absolutely terrible not sure what the issue there was but it was choppy as fuck. The game just looked like a hack and slash crappy clone of D2. Maybe the person playing at the booth had no clue wtf he was doing though who knows :P .

Doh that sucks man. Sometimes the trailers look so much cooler then the finished project ever turns out. I still remember anticipating Fable only to roll through the game before dinner on a Saturday :mad:

The trailer makes the game look pretty cool, especially with that tiger mount. A lot of these games only end up being entertaining for a week or so, we'll see how it turns out. The next Diablo clone I'm looking forward to is Divine Divinity 2 since I enjoyed Divine Divinity a bit more than Sacred 1.

Yeah a few friends of mine told me the DoW2 demo they had was amazing, best aspects of CoH + War 40k IP + Sweet graphics = awesome.

Between Left4Dead, DoW2, SC2, and D3 not sure how much time there is to even play an MMO :biggrin: .

Looks like THQ is quite busy with their 40k MMO, DoW2, and now this Gears of War type shooter. For a pre-Alpha build it looks pretty slick.

Several games have wanted to have the cross platform multiplayer (IE PC players can play with PS3 players and whatever), but it usually gets canned for either fees or logistics.

Microsoft tries to charge money to do that if the title is branded "Games for windows" :onfire:
