Hey, I LIKE Chaser!

digitalwanderer · Jul 8, 2003, 07:33 AM

The darn game has totally sucked me in! I was bummed by the "Memories" crash bug that plagues all Radeons, but they released a 1.46 patch that fixed that....but it also nixxed all the trainers from working.

No problem, just figured out how to bind cheats to keys and added me custom bullet-time and have been having a blast getting lost in this game! I can see where the story is going, but I'm having fun letting it take me there.

It looks good, it runs good, the story is absorbing and the action keeps it going; all in all it's a really solid little story shooter so far.

Anyone else tried it/liked it/hated it?

**MIG-31** · Jul 8, 2003, 07:48 AM

i have chaser it's ok,been there seen it all before but still reasonable graphics gameplay story so so.but i might have to reinstall due to developed a framerate problem straight after installing the 1.46 patch.

I think this game is alot better than the reviews its been getting, it has some very effective levels with good gfx but the thing that makes it is the storyline... it puts me in mind of the bladerunner movie.....

Wreckdiver[NAF] · Jul 8, 2003, 03:02 PM

I have to agree with Zardon here. It also reminds me a bit of the (highly underrated) movie Bladerunner.
Nice graphics, nice story but some REALLY disturbing faults with the AI on some of the characters. Well, cool game that keeps me playing it hour after hour

dipstick · Jul 8, 2003, 03:07 PM

Thx guys, sound like a decent game. I will try it

i would defenatly give it a try but i do think fps are lacking any real umph at the moment.

dipstick · Jul 8, 2003, 05:43 PM

Yeah, I hear that. But as long as I can kill some time on it'll be cool.
Speaking of lack in umph, I hope HL2 is does not dissapoint. I'm really looking forward to it

**MIG-31** · Jul 8, 2003, 05:49 PM

hl2 is looking decent at the screenies i've seen,graphics have come along way since the original but don't forget doom 3 either!

screenies of chaser here

I have one question to ask: Does it get better after the first level? because I'm hating it right now. The level is poorly disinged and everything looks the same.

don't know whats past level 6 still havn't done what i said in earlier post but answer is not too much more different location more than anything else.

digitalwanderer · Jul 8, 2003, 06:58 PM

Yeah, it gets better.

I still haven't gotten to mars yet, I just got to the train station....

I'm thinking of doing a brief write-up on this one, mainly covering how to bind the important cheats and the fact that this game is a lot better than most reviews are giving it.

It blows Unreal2 completely out of the water for me, as well as Devastation. (The plot/atmosphere is vaguely reminiscent of Devastation...but Deva sucked and Chaser just WORKS for me. )

The story is good, that's what makes it for me. (Well, plus with bullet-time it's not too hard...

)

wertret · Jul 14, 2003, 03:36 PM

That bullet time you're talking about is a game feature or just an addon-trainer thingy?

digitalwanderer · Jul 14, 2003, 03:52 PM

Neither. The trainer's don't work with the 1.46 version, so I got ugly with it and figured out how to do binds.

It's a timescale bind to a couple of keys, think a quick page write-up with how to do it and some cheats could get me a few hits over at EB? (I'm a bit bummed at getting rather scooped on an interview right now...

)

Guide to binds in Chaser, quick enough?

wertret · Jul 14, 2003, 04:34 PM

Well, im impressed, thanks

Zardon · Jul 14, 2003, 05:05 PM

im still loving this game, some nice levels !

Dyre Straits · Jul 18, 2003, 03:13 AM

I downloaded the demo for it. It looks like it could be very impressive.

However, in the training session, after you do the running leap across the area using the 2 pillars, you're supposed to climb up a couple of crates. I cannot seem to get onto the first one....nor can I find anyway to get the text instructions to re-appear to see if I'm doing something wrong.

I've checked the controls (using Mouse/Keyboard) and simply am stuck.

Help!

~~craig588~~ · Jul 18, 2003, 03:19 AM

After the 1st level the game really picks up, its got good level disign and a storyline too.

You have to hit either your walk or crouch key right after you jump to give you an extry little bit of vertical lift, I forget which key it is...but it's as tricky as the old Half-life crouch-jump.

Thanks, digi, I'll give it a try.

EDIT: All right! It's a little tricky, but that did it! Got through the training and made it above ground from the sewers in the demo.

Plays smooth, too!!!

OK, you've been warned!

Here's a cutscene from the SP demo. No sound to keep the file size down.
