Ace of Spades.

No, not the awesome Motorhead song but a new freeware fps that feels like a cross between Minecraft and Tribes in a WW1 setting. Does digging trenches, building bunkers and running into no-mans land to get shot sound good to you? Check it out then.

Damn, those graphics look almost as bland and boring as Dragon Age 2.

 

[Trash]

WTF is it with you people and graphics these days? Yeah, it is dog ugly. Since when does that stand in the way of playability and, you know, fun?

Looks great. I've been wishing since day 1 that multiplayer minecraft had a point (note: I haven't played minecraft in at least 6 months, if they have added 'a point' in a recent update I am unaware).

Site is getting hammered to hell right now so the DL link isn't working, but I'm looking forward to trying this. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[Ulminati]

So this is minecraft with actual gameplay? colour me intrigued.

Also, YAY VOXELS!

 

[Turisas]

The server system is retarded, the only way for people to connect is via the game's website and you cannot have a password on the server so no private games either.

Sure looks like fun tho, and heh the player POV is trippy as hell, I bet people prone to it will get dizzy and nauseous because of it in no time.


Trash you found an actual working server yet? I'd host one myself but since my U/L is puny it'd probably be no good.

 

[SoupNazi]

Crashes instantly on startup. No FAQ or forums on the site.

 

[Turisas]

Look at this in case you haven't already, Soup http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/images/ ... /spade.png

Wouldn't start playing just yet, it's in a very early phase and all the values are stored client-side so cheating is piss-easy.

I played for a bit (figured I had to click on a server not try to run the client) and I must say it is awesome. If just something like this was implemented as a Minecraft mode (smaller, generated map, with guns and intelligence to capture) that'd be even more awesome.

 

[Trash]

It's very, very early beta but already a shitload of fun once you find a working server. Game's getting more popular by the second it seems. Guess it being on RPS and it being FREE helps.

 

[Pony King]

The server I played on closed and now I can't find a new one.

Now that somebody else has thought of the idea, you can safely expect the Minecraft team to steal it.

 

[Pony King]

Notch has been talking about adding actual gameplay for ages, but hasn't actually done it.

 

[Destroid]

The irony is that infiniminer actually had competitive multiplayer gameplay.

 

[Gragt]

Oh, I thought you meant the hentai card game.

Since the rest in the game is on a par.

Indies are a fucking disgrace of PC platform. Shit even consoles don't have such low-grade shit that indies churn out en masse.

Indies are a return to the formula of succes that made pc gaming in the 80's and early 90's so great. A guy or a few guys cobbling together something in their basement that might or might not work. Sure, you have to wade through a pile of shit to get to the gems. Just like you did in those days. But at least you can count on some creativity, originality and fucking love to be poured into these games instead of the products resulting from the daily grind in the cubicle farm at EA or Activision.

Your reply is apt, Trash. But when I see a pretentious & edgy freshly-plopped shitpost like the one you responded through the safety of a quotebox it reminds me why MetalCraze is on my double-blocked ignore list.

 

[Pelvis Knot]

So, is anyone playing this?

I had loads of fun, I meant to replay Witcher, but this is 8-12 times more fun.

 

[Destroid]

I tried, but I can't connect to any servers

 

[Pony King]

Keep trying a server that isn't full, it'll work sooner or later.

 

[Pelvis Knot]

Yeah, it's much better now, no problems finding a server. The number of players shown lags a bit, I often click on seemingly full servers and get in

 

[Destroid]

Ah k, persistence is key it seems and a willingness to wait about 30 seconds for the client to actually start while it appears to do nothing.

It's really annoying the way the view autolevels when you look side to side.

Despite not playing a shooter for about a year I still got the touch

 

[Trash]

Im in ur base digging a hole

 

[Ion Flux]

Battalion of Saints recorded a really excellent cover of what was already an awesome song.

Anyway, game looks fun and gameplay >>> graphics ffs.
