The dying games people should be playing

[Taranchio]

I hope no-one is offended by this but I just wanted to try and get a couple extra peeps intrested in two awesome free online(or lan) multiplayer games.

1: Subspace/Continuum
This is a top down shooter alla asteroids. except you play team deathmatch with about 400 other players. Great for those instant gratification gaming urges. It may sound simple but for those who enjoy learning all the IRC commands simply because they can, there are years worth of skill honing to perfect the play style.

You want the continuum038setup.exe

2: Savage
The OC lanning guys from Cape Town might remember this one. It's a bit special. Team based gameplay with one player/team playing RTS and the rest playing FPS with some RPG thrown in. This has a fantasy based feel with human vs beast being the main theme. Natural Selection players would probably understand the idea best except that te gameplay is on open maps.

The commander has to build building, towers and worker peons. Do research to provide the FPS players with new weapons and units to pick from and provide them with tactical planning and coordination.

The FPS guys run arround farming gold from neutral creeps, help building and of course run of and murder the opposing teams players, peons and buildings.

The game supports up to 64 players with a planned patch that will push that up to 128.

Have a look here. http://www.s2games.com/savage
pretty big download at about 350 meg. but I have the original ISO that Ill try to distibute via DC++ soon.

I would love to see this game get some extra support since it is now free and gives everyone who is tyered of playing DOTA|CouterStrike|BF2 at lans and online a place to come together since there is something for everyone.

I stay in centurion now so I'm gonna do my bit for savage at some of the lans in the area as well.

I hope you guys try these out and enjoy them as mutch as I do.

New Savage patch

Ok they seem to have broken everything now.

They took net code that had trouble with 24 players and have now updated it to handle 128 players, in four teams (up from 2 in original). They have added 5 new NPC charachters to pwn for money and XP. They also seem to have thought that snow and rain would be fun so thats in too.

Wow, this sounds like my kind of game! RTS, FPS and RPG all in one! I like.

Yeah it's awesome...

I C ur from Plet.. I dont know how much of a lanning culture is going on down there, but if you are all alone this won't work since it is multi player only.

However since the game is comparible too quake3 in performance requirements it should be pretty easy to scrap a couple of guys together for a brawl.

If on the other hand Plet is the South Cape gaming meca then you have no probs right. Just get it and go.... or get someone else to get it for you, that works too.

Well whatever you do don't miss it for the world. I really is the most fun i've ever had with a MP game.
