"I just killed a man for 2 dollars!"

It's beautiful...

Here it is! http://www.stanford.edu/group/htgg/cgi-bin/drupal/?q=blog/21

Holy crap. Consider me amazed.

So I broke your chair. So goddamn what. It was a table anyway. It made for good radio. I'll give you money for it later

The whole demo level definitely is a tutorial-- in fact, it's the tutorial level from the full game (which is sort of amazing, considering how much work was obviously put into it.) That said, the rest of the levels in the full game are completely different from the tutorial (which makes it a bad choice for a demo...) As far as I've heard, Blood Money is actually the most open-ended of the series. Other points: the stealth/disguise system has been smoothed out from the previous games, which is nice. 47 sneaks more quickly and disguises are more effective. All the levels take place in populated civilian locales (as opposed to the military installations from Hitman 2 for instance.) 47's abilities have been expanded greatly. See: taking human shields; using melee attacks to knock out enemies; THROWING shit (knives, mines, claw hammers, distractions such as coins); being able to carry anything in that case of his (check it out in the demo-- you can hide the shotgun and the mine in the sniper case ) Plus the graphics are way nicer.. and have you seen the crowd scenes from the full game? Have you SEEN them?? They updated the engine to allow for 3000 realtime characters to populate a level. 47 wading through a crowd, fading into the mob to evade his pursuers... the videos I've seen are amazing. Oh yeah, and the story of the full game-- in each mission, 47 is tasked with taking out his target, while also being hunted by other hitmen from an eccentric rival agency! I'm a sucker for outlandish assassins, but the hunter/hunted thing itself is really cool. I'm super stoked on the game.. the demo is meant to show off all the mechanics from the game in a relatively controlled environment. It's linear, but you can ignore most of the tutorial prompts if you want. I've been having a blast with it. I loved the first game, and the second and third not so much... I'm really hoping that Blood Money will finally be a real return to form.

actually, this is the Dullest Online game Ever You are a stag, a male deer. So are the other players. You meet each other in an endless forest on the internet. Name Your Deer

I think it bears repeating that the title of the movie is GAME BOYS That's worth a lol if anything is

So, I know it's totally lame to beg for votes on a webforum but... I am totally lame! Backstory: A while ago, some of you may have read my review of F.E.A.R. If you couldn't tell, I was totally "into" the game. I started messing with the level editor and doing some mapping stuff for it. Then Fileplanet announced a contest-- 'make a FEAR map and enter it. You could win big!' Long story short, I made a deathmatch map called Residential Evil (you know, a clandestine facility under a spooky mansion) and entered it. Screenshots: Now my map's up for a public vote on Fileplanet. It's cool to have it in the running, but it'd be cooler to win! Check the maps out at http://www.fileplanet.com/fear/contest/poll.aspx , and uh... vote for mine! Registration required... a pain, I know, but it's free. If I take home the gold, I'll dedicate the win to all you Thumbers across the world. Thanks in advance, guys... and sorry for being totally lame!!

hey guys check this out: You guys helped get me into the second tier, and I've got you all to thank for the Nvidia card that'll be coming my way! Thumbers across the globe will hold a special place in my heart as I play FEAR at a million frames per second on my sweet new GeForce 7900. Thanks again guys! Next time... I'm goin for the gold And also... I'll insist they actually get the name of my map right in the announcement

Wow that is awesome Duncan, high five

they've got time to tighten up the system.. but maybe considering their overall lower financial investment, they can't afford the infrastructure to support an Xbox Live-like matching service.

jesus that one's just frightening

They have not announced it yet I ended up third place in the public voting. But the outcome of the contest is decided half by the public vote and half by official judgement of the game developers... so it's still up in the air! Hopefully the winners will be announced early next week.

I am left completely aghast at how someone can say so many completely wrong things in just three sentences.

"[Note: A representative told us that the F.E.A.R. Extraction Point expansion will likely make it into the Xbox 360 game.]" Perhaps the instant action mode will make its way into the PC version of the Extraction Point expansion as well?

I will have a Wii for the interface alone, and the awesome games that will undoubtedly follow. I may be forced to buy a PS3 if Metal Gear Solid 4 and Assassin's Creed are both exclusives. I just won't be able to pass them up. I'm not sure why I would want a 360. I don't like Halo.

Wow, that video is coooool. Still looks super promising! spore

Haha, those guys don't deserve a chance to defend themselves. That's exactly how they treat guests on their own show.

That would be cool. I bought the original trilogy on VHS because I didn't want to see greedo shoot first, etc. But I won't rebuy it on dvd now.

zoidberg... and jack black... neck-and-neck... GO ZOIDBERG GO

It's because you can sign into FilePlanet with your login from a range of sites such as 3dgamers, gamespy, etc. btw the voting's up til May 8, so I'll hopefully have an update then!

I appreciate the sentiment sir! But I just want to make sure any voting stays legit... I don't know what the reaction will be when the admins see my map get five votes from your multiple profiles all back to back... I just don't want to risk disqualification, you know. I'm not just picking on Nick, this is more a general note along the lines of "please nobody create multiple accounts just to vote" or anything like that. Let's have a clean fight, people! Thanks again to everyone who's voted. If you want to check out the map without having to register for fileplanet, it's mirrored here as well: http://www.vgpro.com/file/12263_residential_evil.zip.html
