Hi all
Im speaking from 900 hours in games like Left 4 Dead 1+2 and i have played games for like 15 years now and this game has the most potential i have seen in a long time yet its a shame to see it in such a bad shape.Sorry but i can convince my friends to buy Chivalry and Left 4 Dead yet none will touch Natural Selection 2 with a barge pole sadly![:(]( ":(")
So here is my Idea list and first is the Graphics.Aka the window to the gaming world and one of the first things a potential customer will see.
ADD:
Direct X 11 support
Multisampling AA or Newer TXAA method
Depth of field (already in use when in menu why not in game)
Physx or better physics or more pronounced physics.
Tesselation on characters and alien infestation and objects
Better dynamic light system so darkness is the aliens best friend (flashlights etc)
HD texture pack for higher res textures above 1080p
Other changes:
Remove jumping that looks stupid on marines and sometimes aliens too.Let aliens jump but please put a limit or stamina cost on it.When i see this game advertised with marines jumping around with a skippy netcode i want to instantly uninstall the game.Jumping looks awful and is for 12 year olds.
The game needs a better FOV that is standardized.Fov above 90 or lower makes me sick yet aliens and marines have very different fovs.It must be changed so aliens are not making you so ill when playing,Left 4 dead is perfect example of standardized FOV.
Less obtrusive hud including minimap, holding c is fine to grab initial directional bearing but does my screen really need to be swallowed up by the HUGE and ugly hud when not pressing c?
Better usage of power and lighting, Make darkness avalueable resource for aliens with a better dynamic light system.In short make the game SCARY!
More blood! And perhaps body parts coming off on both aliens and marines! And what about blood trails for injured marines or aliens?
Make Injured marines move slower and unable to spam jump like in left 4 dead.
Give a pounce like ability to aliens so disable a marine!
Overall this game could be game of the year but sadly the spark engine is holding it back alongside overlooked issues like jump spamming.Left 4 dead im sorry to say does things a whole lot better and seems a bit darker and scary.Something NS could use and blend with its own game for a fantastic game.Sadly im going to give this game a miss until at least half of the things i listed make it into NS2.If not then i just wasted £8 which is still not enough for me to re buy this game in hindsight.
Sorry guys![:(]( ":(")
