Alpha Prime retail

BlueMak · Nov 10, 2007, 04:25 AM

The first 3 pics are with the use of the printscreen & Paint. Unfortunately the game does not return to normal if you alt tab a couple of times and you have to close it. So for the rest I had to use FRAPS. Also for some reason the FRAPS fps numbers do not always appear or appear half, so don't give too much notice to them.

The quality of all the pics is lower than of what you actualy see in the game. The game looks great and the animation with the physics is just beautiful to look at.

This first one is from a corridor that I just loved the colours.

Reloading weapon while fired upon by robots. Have I mentioned how much I love the lighting in this game?
BTW, for the first 2 pics I don't know why but the HUD refuses to appear with the printscreen button. The rest are normal though.

Bad day at the office.

Lights!

Be very very quiet!

Right in the (back of) the face!

Zooming in with the very cool sniper rifle, hint, that red thing, is not kitchen towels.

They have reinforcements! Also that is the normal view of the sniper rifle.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four. Unfortunately the grenade only took out one of them and I had to finish off the other one with my shotgun.

Health restoration points, aka Half Life 1 rip off.

A forcefield. On the other side you can barely see an automated machine gun. It can't shoot through the forcefield, but it is covering your only way out of this room...

After normal play at 1.5 hours I reached the third level of the game. Normal difficulty setting.
It feels alright so far in terms of how long it takes.
So far I like the game a lot.

I just found out there was a new patch out in July. Makes the enemies a bit easier (good!), extra ammo (good!), headshots do more damage (good), and some graphical enchantments. It's awesome whenever I read about a game receiving a patch 2-3 years after the release date and not abandoned. Good job.

Alpha Prime looks really good. you have got me interested in fighting robots, seriously!

BlueMak · Sep 14, 2009, 03:39 PM

If you decide to get it, be careful, it is a hard difficulty FPS.

IvanV · Sep 14, 2009, 06:43 PM

But it does come with an easy difficulty, right?

I see that it's only € 7.09 on SpRocket, though I'm not sure about payments and delivery to my country. I'll see if I can find it in retail locally.

What is sprocket?

You might want to check Gamersgate, but at impulse they sell it for 3 euros I think.

yes, it has an easy difficulty setting, but I have never tried it at that.

BlueMak · Sep 18, 2009, 01:59 AM

So, got it?

IvanV · Sep 18, 2009, 02:23 AM

No, I haven't. I must admit that my gaming enthusiasm has quickly dwindled as I'm way behind with my studying.

BlueMak · Sep 19, 2009, 03:26 PM

I gave another go at Easy. A few levels in. The game is easier, but it it still more difficult that the vast majority of FPS out there at normal to hard difficulty. (at EASY!)

Yeah, not for those looking for an easy FPS lol.
