Topic: Powerslave (game)


  
  TNL Forum - Metroid Prime and ...... Powerslave?
Powerslave (aka Exhumed but you knew that) was one of the few FPS I liked; Metroid seemed to have many of the same qualities to me. However, I wasn't able to find any connection between Lobotomy and RS.
Powerslave was certainly not as good as GF hyped it to be and Lobotomy's port of Quake to the Saturn sucked even taking the hardware limitations into consideration.
For me Powerslave on the saturn remains the best single player FPS ever, the PS and PC conversions were horrible by comparison, smaller levels, different layouts and gone was the tension and platforming and instead replaced by smaller levels with horrible layout and far too manny enemies to make up for those deficiencies.

As the game tightens it’s grip on you and you become addicted to its’ hyper play mechanics, you tell yourself that you must be crazy, this must be some kind of strange dream.
Games can be played with or without the foot pedals, but playing with the pedals is preferred as they are more reliable than the buttons on the Steering wheel and add a layer of realism to play.
Playing the game with the manual transmission selected is actually an enjoyable experience thanks to the shifting gear which is intuitive and extremely responsive.

 IGN: Lobotomy Exhumes Powerslave
Powerslave (or Exhumed in Europe) first appeared on the Saturn and was critically acclaimed for its remarkable 3D engine and well-balanced gameplay.
Powerslave is expected to take place in both a living world and an afterlife.
As players progress through the game they will be required to travel back and forth between the living world and the afterlife.

The fire used in the game is handled nicely, except for the point you can't ketch on fire from burring bodys.
Powerslave has a live pair of lungs to show versous things, such as breathing rate and how much air you have left when under water.
Powerslave has an option like this, its STRAFE SPEED, does the same effect but on differant keys, together in the same game they would be a killer.

 Powerslave for PC video game review and cheats   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
The basic theme of Powerslave is also very similar to Doom -- you are a special forces commando who goes to see what has become of a bunch of your comrades who have disappeared after going to investigate some mysterious goings-on, this time in Egypt rather than in a futuristic space port, though.
In Powerslave much is made of the Egyptian environment, the pyramids, tombs, and desert plants and creatures.
I was half expecting to hear a little Iron Maiden hidden somewhere within the game, as I assume from the look of this game that the title comes directly by inspiration of the British rockers' album of the same title.

 NHL 98 review @ www.vidgames.com
The games are close but the scoring is not realistic with final scores of 9-8 and the likes.
At the end of the game you can see how much ice time your players have logged, and my 2nd players seem to be playing 2-3 extra minutes per game compared to the 1st line.
Overall - This game is a great addition to the NHL family as by far my favorite of the series.

 Curmudgeon Gamer - Interview: Ezra Dreisbach
Among the games that seemed to be highly acclaimed were three by the company Lobotomy Software.
Those games work very differently from the way that things need to work on the Saturn, so there is really no way to do a port other than to basically remake the game.
Matt: Porting a game to a platform is said to be far less rewarding than creating a new game, tailored for a specific platform.

 Curmudgeon Gamer - Why Game Reviews Suck
Those are all nice to have in a game, but they are not necessary, nor are they likely to matter to anyone who truly wants to enjoy a game beyond the first 10 minutes.
Many games today look and sound good enough that I can set aside my knowledge that they are games and attempt to engage on a different level.
One will be that new ways of criticising a game on deeper levels will become more prominent and varied(and ultimately more worthwhile to everyone involved), and another will be that people will get in touch with themselves better as gamers.

 Neowin.net > Anyone ever play GORE?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
i played the game about quarter of the way through, yes i had a lack of games at the time and nothing better to do, there was some nice ideas and the plot was ok i guess but you couldn't forgive the chunks, and i mean chunks of blood.
For a game called GORE you'd expect the blood effects to be far better than that.
BUT, that doesn't mean that the game I have to give them a break and lie by saying "oh it's a good game and can compete with some other titles." I will say it again, that I thought the game was PURE CRAP.

 Game Mag Online - Saturn Game Reviews
Although the movement through the corridors seems to be some of the most tiresome sprinting to be seen in a game of this genre, the strafing, turning, and shooting ultimately remain true to their roots in Doom.
The graphics in Powerslave are correspondingly well designed and executed, and do their job in at least temporarily silencing those who still insist that the Saturn hardware is ill-equipped for games which incorporate three dimensional graphics.
Nonetheless, Powerslave is far more balanced for the better, and while it fails offer anything that has not been offered in a previous effort, the game provides an interesting shooter with solid control and great presentation.

It is the second-biggest game con in the country (The largest is Gen-Con, which has always been sponsored by TSR and held in Milwaukee every August.) The various small gaming companies of the U.S,.
Released in December 1996, this PC CD-Rom action/simulation game is a cool blend of Tie-Fighter-type battles with a complex story-line submarine simulation.
This game is lots of fun, the graphics and sound are quite nicely lifted from the movie, and the controls (unfortunately) are less than state-of-the-art.

 TNL Forum - What happened to Lobotomy Software?
I remember an interview Gamefan did with them a while ago where they gave details on Powerslave 2- to be honest, from the dtails given, I wasn't too excited (2 was supposed to become a 3rd person Tomb Raider-style game), but whatever.
Powerslave was released in Europe as Exhumed, so I would bet it is the same game.
And if I may be so bold, I'd say they made the PS2 sing with that game just as nicely as they made the Saturn sing with their FPS ports.

 Quake 2 - Playstation Game Review - ABSOLUTE PLAYSTATION INTERNATIONAL ( API )
I refused to be disheartened as the brief, grainy intro showed signs of being thrown together under the instruction to "waste as little CD space and memory as possible on the opening movie".
As eager I was to get the game underway I restrained myself from savoring the action for a few more moments and patiently waited as the game switched into 'Demo Mode'.
I glanced around after taking control of the game character for the first time as he clambered from the wreckage of his downed craft.

 Powerslave - all the cheats, hints and codes for this popular PC game
Most games just shove a ton of guns at the user, and are not really different from each other.
And the complaining about "only 4 vehicles." Well in 2001 when this game was released, that was a ton.
This does however, make intense battle scenes a lot less choppy, so it's not just a matter of holding down the trigger and waiting for the game to process what all is happening.

Everything about the game is well done....the game really makes you feel as if you're raising hell in the ancient Egyptian tombs.
The one and only downside to the game is that when you look up or down, the graphics or angle gets all distorted, it doesn't seem natural at all, everything seems to bend all weird.
This is probably the only game i would buy in 32-bit ps1 form.

 Virtual Urth: Strife & Powerslave Game Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Bottom line, however is that this game is another Doom clone with some slight differences.
Set in Egypt, the game starts you off with magic weapons and as you traverse the catacombs you collect amazing modern day weapons, and thats where it gets interesting.
Strife is a role-playing oriented action game by Rogue Entertainment Inc. It uses an improved version of Doom's excellent engine to bring you an RPG style world.

Just because a game doesn't come out when YOU want/thought it would, doesn't mean it was delayed.

Don't think of it as a card game either, cause it only has elements of it included.

It was for Global Gladiators for the Sega Genesis (Dave Perry's first game in the U.S.) This is the CD version that was recorded for my first album with Capitol Records.
I always liked this one because it was so far removed from any video game music at the time.
I'm pretty sure that it was the very first video game to have live guitars (although I could be wrong).

I'll buy the game if it's like that for sure, but not if it's just a RE rip off with no humor.

 ESR - Quake 4 Forum   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
It could've been a good game but they should've kept some weapons from quake 3 but with a new looks and some special attacks.
However, with such a small player base I think the game is doomed (pun ?) in the long run - it just doesn't have the volume of players to support it like Q3 did.
Even if this is all still your personal preference, your apparent view that the game should be just the way you, as an individual, like it, is pretty wrong.
