Turrican 3
Has anyone played Turrican 3? if so, what do you think :)
I've had a quick go, not had the time to have a proper go just yet. So far though i have mixed opinions. Credit where credit is due, the play does play like Turrican and Turrican 2. The graphics on level 1 seemed too much like Turrican and the 1st big (mid level) boss turned out to be a big fist, which was a bit of a let down, as after all, there is a big fist as a mid level boss during the first Turrican (although on the Turrican 3 the fist is animated).
The collision seems somewhat iffy at times, there appears to be no in game sound fx? and the screen glitches alot when lots of enemies appear on screen (although i was using an emu, so maybe this does not happen on real c64).
All in all, the game does seem like good fun. I will need to play some more to form more opinions /wec :) |

Quote: Ok, I guess there was some kind of missunderstanding on Willow about the intro on the 3rd disk side of Turrican III release. Sorry About that! But hey you are free to download the "Return of Darkness" intro/demo from Breakpoint and enjoy it!
@All people which are bitching around the bugs in Turrican III, I can only say, what a lame behaviour! Nobody said that Turrican III is perfect, but realize that it took 7 years of hard work to do it. Also realize that AEG was not payed for it, so the only motivation was to present a good game to you (please keep that in mind, next time you start argumenting).
100% Agree!
Right, I am not bitching, I hope O:-)
And yes, I have loaded "Return of Darkness" seperately myself, too! Not a big problem. Still it would be nice if it was infrtont. Don't get us wrong
Ah and @G-Fellow: regarding your Turrican III prod comment: The game is done. I guess the rest will have to be done by some crackers.

Is it an excuse for bugs and spelling errors that a game has taken seven years to make? I don't think so. I can't see why it's "bitching" to criticize any production, no matter who has done it, if they were paid for it or how long it took to make it. |

Well maybe it wasn't meant as "bitching", but when you spend so much time in such a project. And you only hear nagative things about it, you feel pissed. If you would say hey nice that you spend 7 years in a game thanks for that, hey found some bug! That won't be bitching. Please think about that. |

Most comments I have seen so far has actually been positive, so I don't think that AEG and the others have only heard negative things.
My only comment so far is "seems a bit unfinished" which was my first impression after testing it for a few minutes, and experiencing both spelling errors and bugs, and not really seeing anything that looked like an improvement compared to T1&2.
I don't really like playing games a lot, but when there's a +47 trained version I'll prolly take a look at the other levels, and see if I get more impressed, and maybe write another comment. |

A good diskussion about the game T3. I think the game T3 IS a winner, with bugs or not. It gives the scene some more motivation as anyway existing in the scene. And yes i want to play also a 100% bug free version and i think we get one.
We can maybe share some ideas to make the T3 "pervect", and that could maybe help to fix it, whoever it will do...
@Nafcom: We will see who fix it, the important thing is that it get be fixed! |

Totally agree with Cruzer. Just to make it clear, I still get extremely pumped from playing the first 3 worlds and I rated the game '9' for overall effort, *but* at the same time I'm very curious of the motivation of leaving such obvious bugs like the Commando-style flicker in the game. Maybe because the source will be released (stated in the endtext) so we can fix it ourselves :)
IMO there must be honest comments and dialogue about releases, without it immediately labelled as bitching, friendlyscene benefits no-one in the end. |

Cruzer is right, yes.
So we all agree and hope that the bugs/flickers get removed.
well Laxity did a nice job on Crush who had similar problems.
I am sure somebody is fixing also Turrican III. I guess there are the cracking groups and so there is sure one who licks their fingers to release a 100% version? :)
I guess everybody here in that thread said all stuff which is true. I really cannot disagree to 100% with any statement here. But nobody bitches it or wants to flush all down the toilet! |

Well, I loved the game, even though I came across a few bugs myself.
Just wanted to comment that though I have reported some of the bugs, personally it wasn't intended as bitching but just "bug reporting" incase its any use to anyone who may fix the bugs (Maybe even AEG himself, who knows).
Even if the game is left as it is, i'm really happy to see it after all this time, and am still enjoying it now. It's thanks to the likes of Smash Designs, Lasse, Protovision etc that we still get to see some high quality games releases, and T3 is certainly that.
And the news on Katakis 2 sounds unbelieveable.. :)

I haven't seen a lot of bitching on this thread. If we were bitching about this game, we would have said completely different things. We have the respect for the 7 years, and AEG's commitment. But I agree with Cruzer as well and I stand by the things I have remarked. It's not a lot of fun when you jump into an area which is empty, only to see 6+ monsters pop up out of nowhere (and damaging you in the process)! Note that personally, I'm not looking at the other bugs, even (slowdown, illegal characters, disappearing sprites, ...). Only the gameplay matters for the time being.
Also, in the subsequent 3 games I played, I have been teleported into the background twice. However, you can get out by moving to the right. Turrican will slide through the background until you can move freely again. At least, that's how I managed to get out - on both counts.
I do like the learning curve, however. The first world is easy - enough to get you into the controls, the second is a bit harder (suddenly, the time limit becomes important), and the third world requires a combination of reflexes and knowledge about the aliens. You do have to learn the attack pattern of the bosses in 3-2, and the confrontation in 3-3 is rock hard. Can't wait to dig into world 4 =). |
