    CMC - Conceptual Music Competition 15: Love at First Sight

    in Competitions

    Posted

    Jeremy Robson - Orchestral beginning, it continues the whole song. It's romance, I guess. You have mixed it well together, but there's nothing special, it's all the same. Only the end is a bit more powerfull.

    Elan Hickler - Nice beginning, I like the trancy beat on the background. The intro is long. I like the built-up to the middle section. It is a very interesting part, a long part again. I like the calm part after 4:00, the variation of the song is excellent. Especially the built-up to the last part. The only thing I can say is that the song is a bit too long, excellent work.

    I had to laugh at this one, since Bundeslang is the only one who thought I deserved first place and didn't give Jeremy an honorable mention. HAHA :-D

    larsdood, very funny mix, especially the words you use in a poetic way. "A goddess in a human shell" I liked that one. You said it with such passion. However, I wish you could have kept it PG.

    Any co-op games coming out?

    Umm, I played it like a year ago and it was amazing. Why in the world does the year matter? The best games ever made were well before 1999, back when companies didn't water shit down to appeal to the masses to recoup their $10M investment.

    The future does hold games that will be worth playing way more than any other game ever created before. That future hasn't come yet, but it will, and co-op games will show up too, I believe. :-)

    FPS elements are pretty basic, and definitely not the game's highlight.

    ?? Then what is the game's highlight? If killing things isn't fun, then what could possibly be fun about SS2? Getting items and solving puzzles isn't very fun especially won't require cooperative strategies.

    I was watching Youtube videos on System Shock 2, I just can't see how it's a fun game. As a matter of fact I'm not going to take anyone's suggestions on co-op games. The fact of the matter is that there's very few games with a co-op mode in the original (non-modded) version. Until a copmany creates a game centered around co-op in an intelligent way then it won't really be worth the time. I might actually check out Left 4 Dead since it was created for co-op and it might be fun in hidden ways (ways that the videos can't reveal).

    And System Shock 2 is possibly the best game you will ever play.

    Arrite, i'll have to take another look then.

    Also, watch this commentary vid on Left 4 Dead: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/24756.html

    Some of the comments make Left 4 Dead seems like a great game but I'm still disappointed that the action is fast, jerky, and unrealistic. It prohibits the game from doing some cool scenarious such as being lost in a big dark building with only a small flashlight to guide you. Using your ears will help you stay away from zombies. What is stopping Left 4 Dead for doing a scenario like that is that there's only a split second from the time a zombie appears to the time it's already attacking you.

    It would be better if there were few fast zombies, a good amount of jogging-speed zombies and lots of slow hard-to-kill zombies so that there would also be the scenario of being surrounded and having a small window of time to come up with an innovative way to escape. With Left 4 Dead, you don't have time to think.

    Seems like in Left 4 Dead there's no time to think, no time to plan out your next move. In a good co-op experience, you aren't just killing something before your friend gets hurt. It's also cooperation to give your input on strategy and operation.

    Discounting a game based on its age is like discounting a person for the country he comes from.

    Welp, I'm the kind of person who looks forward to new age games that make use dynamic lighting and destructible environments to add a new level of emotional content (such as realistic weather and day/night cycles) that was previously impossible to do.

    Is it because you don't have friends IRL? :sad:

    It's because I don't live near to them. Co-op is not that great if you play with random people on the internet.

    grab yourself System Shock 2

    I'll check it out!

    Edit: Naa, dood. That game was released in 1999. It's really time for something new.

    it wasn't that great, but its modding scene was awesome, and its small multiplayer community was insanely fun.

    You bring up a point, and in my opinion the problem of 99% of PC games is companies haven't got it through their heads that co-op is actually worth more than single-player.

    Edit: Anyone played S.T.A.L.K.E.R? That game would be awesome with co-op. However, single player isn't very fun because there's some things lacking in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. in general. With co-op, those lacking areas would be very easily overlooked.

    Shoot man, I just remebered another game I am missing:

    It's an old racing game with a futuristic setting where everyone had vehicles that looked like spaceships. AND GET THIS! After most races, there would be a 3d-animated commercial of some futuristic product. Some of them were funny, such as the mechanical hand where you could lift large boulders with ease. I think that one was where the guy drops a boulder on his head.

    Another game I am missing that I remembered the name of: Whiplash

    Left 4 Dead looks to me like the worst attempt ever at a zombie game: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/24569.html (gameplay vid)

    Looks like all you do is run around and hold the fire button. There's no carefully placed shots, there's no hiding and sneaking, there's no feeling of limited ammo, there's no feeling of survival. The video clearly shows that you can get bit many times without much penalty and you and the zombies run around like olympic runners 100% of the time. Left 4 Dead will not be worth playing, period.

    Can you name any PC games? There's plenty of co-op games for consoles and there's plenty more coming out, no need to discuss thems. Co-op on PC via LAN or WAN is way more fun than console IMO (and I don't own any consoles). Just that I'm behind in the gaming world so I was wondering if any of you have heard news of a good PC co-op game coming (or already out, and not too old)
