Psi-Ops was frickin' great.EHKOS said:
I can't wait for XIII. I never knew what the first one was and played it on a whim. The cel-shading was new back then and with the comic book sound effects and mini panels showing enemies dying were a cool touch. I always wondered what happened to the series.
Let's be fair; I don't think Mr. Duchovny knows how to sound anything BUT bored. Unless he's yelling, in which case he sounds bored and irritated.WMDogma said:
Still, I heard a lot of good things about the original despite never getting to play it myself, so I will keep an eye open.
You can try!
You can fly!
You can lose your mind, but I'm still on the run!
I Try to escape,
The Prison in my mind...
This game (XIII)was a favorite of mine for a long time, and man I wanted a sequel. From Robbing a bank, to raiding an Alaskan military complex, and even sneaking through a terrorist base in Mexico... I must have number two!
but please, please PLEASE don't compare this game to borderlands. Yeah, cell-shading. This time, at least, it was cell-shaded for a reason.

The original was a bit brown, I will admit. Then again, it was also on the xbox/gamecube, and the brown was more due to graphical limitations the it was to aesthetic choice. And then there are the blue levels. And the Green levels. And the "villa on the cliffs" level was fairly multicolored...Ironman126 said:

I played through it and...I didn't think it was that great to be honest.
The gameplay was solid (when you weren't pushed into the not so well thought out stealth sections that is) but the story telling to me just felt a bit lacking (I'm not gonna go into spoilers for people who are genuinely interested in finding out for themselves, it is a good game, I just thought it had more than a few hiccups keeping it from being great).
It'll be interesting to see how this new game turns out so colour me intrigued.

I wasn't really comparing it to Borderlands, i was just stating my apprehension about the cell-shading, but you're right, this has a reason to be cell-shaded.Liquid Paradox said:
I'm going to have to go with 'no, I did not'. I was very tired when I read the post! Either that or I was just so bedazzled by the title of the thread that other information slipped by unseen...Jazoni89 said:
Major Jones'd better not look like a dude this time.
This is Major Jones :
This is a dude in an army jacket :
Learn the difference please.

I prefer my Major Jones to look like a military woman rather than a fanboy-service sex object...so I go for the version in the game, and I also loved Eve's voice acting.
Anyhow, looking at this link:

Looks like this *isn't* going to be a sequel...but a re-imagining. But I'll still go for it to support the project. I'd be happy to replay a reimagined version of the original if it means I'll eventually get that sequal.

I couldn't find a picture from the original comic book where Jones is in military gear, but my point is, she should look like a woman.
