Story line: Your country has just been bought by a giant corporation and people in the streets are rioting. Your trying to bring down the company and get them out of your country, everythings corrupt, the cops, everyones going crazy, this game is going to be awsome

the reason it doesnt look super realistic is because, damn that would be way to violent, so they make the people look goofy so that its not as bad.You can beat people with limbs of dead people, i saw a clip of a guy with a rocket launcher, shot it into the side of a bank, and him and his gang ran in and stole all the money, man it looked sweet!!!

Sounds Pretty Intresting. Sounds Great Infact. But..... Isn't This A Bad Thing. I Mean Just To Run Away From The Censors, They Have Make The Graphics Cartooni, I Mean Thats Bad! They Should Try Making It As Realistic As Possible. And Win The Trail Against The Censorship People! I Mean Common! Its Just A Game!-! And It'll Get The "Mature" Rating Anyway!.!

Aaagghh:mad:

Makg, do you know how much **** rockstar got from GTA3?! i mean they banned it in Australia, it was just that bad. They are not cutting down on the violence, just how the people look, i mean good lord man. The game is going to rock, thats the bottom line. If you didnt like GTA3, then..your gay lol. The game is going to be awsome, youll see, cartoony or not.

Thats What I Am Saying Man!.! I Am Not Saying That Rockstar Is A WUSS. Just Saying, They SHOULD BE Able To Win The TRAIL. I Am So Sure They LOST The Trail In Australia Thats Why It Got Banned Over There!.! Thats Such A BAD THING!.! They Shouldn't!.!

I Remember When Mortal Kombat Came Out....... My GOD Soo Many People Went Against It!.! That The Graphics Are Life Like (They ARE) And U See All These Fatalities All OVER The Game And It Should Be Banned. But Miday And EdBoon Won The Trail And They Are Still Making Games!.! I Just Think RockStar Should Get A Better Lawyer! lol

I don't think that State of Emergency needs realistic graphics. The cartoon-ish look is pretty interesting and fresh looking.

But I do agree with Makg (hee, that rhymed), that it shouldn't be cartoony to avoid the censors. But then again, that might not be the reasoning behind it.

BowevelJoe
Jan 25th, 2002, 11:46 PM
i guess it could be that the cartoony graphics were easier to work with, i mean if they developed over 600 different looking people that all looked life like, your talking about some serious time lol. It can handle over 250 on the screen at the same time, all doing their own thing, i mean this is mainly aimed at having some AI, and this is going to be implemented into GTA4, thats what this project was mainly aimed at, to include stuff that GTA4 lacked it, but man this game is going to be something to look forward too.

It shall be released Feb. 5th

The only review so far was in Maxim.
They gave it a 3/5 (GTA3 got a 5/5 a few months back).

BowevelJoe
Jan 27th, 2002, 06:00 PM
arrg, thats pretty rough, Maxim, is that the whole name of the mag? meaning its about average in their eyes..

MakgSnake
Jan 27th, 2002, 07:40 PM
I Think...GamesRanking Will Be Having Its Review Soon, They Usually Have Reviews First!.! I'll Check on Their Site Soon!.!

Reid
Jan 27th, 2002, 10:08 PM
Yeah, Maxim's the magazines' full name (it's a pretty famous men's magazine).

Their ratings are actually, usually pretty decent, but their wasn't enough description in the column so I don't know why it got a 3/5.

BowevelJoe
Jan 28th, 2002, 08:23 AM
ah i know Maxim, i was making sure thats what it was lol, i had no idea they rated games in it lol.

ill wait for IGN or some other place to see what they say about it, even if it sucks ill probably still buy it, i mean its still gotta have an awsome fun factor level just by looking at it.

BowevelJoe
Jan 29th, 2002, 08:47 PM
thats not to shabby, i might buy it right now lol

Mercury Shadow

Makg and all you other guys, I'm hoping you can be a guinea pig and try out the game when it comes out :D I am still skeptical. Feb 5 is only 6 days to go!

BowevelJoe
Feb 1st, 2002, 08:00 AM
well this sucks majorly, i was really wanting to get it as soon as it came out..i guess this will just give me more time to build up some money to get it lol...

Spirit
Feb 2nd, 2002, 03:34 AM
aaaaah thank god.... I'd be too broke to buy it now lol

BowevelJoe
Feb 2nd, 2002, 08:38 PM
It has been moved back to the 15th, so its coming out a bit earlier, i was really hoping on it being the 5th but ah well...i think theyre doing a bit more touching up, so...i guess all we can do now is wait..

MakgSnake
Feb 2nd, 2002, 08:48 PM
I Am Starting To Like This GAME, And Am Totally Waiting For It To Come Out!.!

In the most recent Circuit City catalog, it says SOE is coming out FEB 7 and is only $40.

BowevelJoe
Feb 4th, 2002, 07:46 AM
haha Rockstar cant get their release dates straight, perhaps it will be released on the 14th and only be $25 or something lol

Spirit
Feb 4th, 2002, 03:47 PM
I sure hope so.... that would be great but doubtfull...
I need $150 for xs, suikoden III and this....ahhhhhh

BowevelJoe
Feb 5th, 2002, 08:06 AM

Spirit

oh year on special reserve they say its coming out 22nd :( but the official site say its out, im so confused :confused:

nanjij

Save your money folks, my friend bought this game and its not better or even close to being as good as GTa3.:( I know it upsets me too. He returned it in less than 24 hrs.:(
I thought this game had potential but they hyped it up way to much.:p It's too corny.

Mercury Shadow
Feb 18th, 2002, 05:57 PM
I bought State of Emergency today, and I am undecided so far. It's a very fun game, but I am sorta confused. I heard you go on missions and do those missions, but what I'm doing right now is just blow up buildings and cars and beat the crap outta security guards to get points, and then once you get enough points you move onto the next level (of only 4 levels...)

Another disappointment is, you can only carry 1 weapon at a time. if you want another weapon, you have to drop yours and pick up a new one, luckily there are quite a few laying around.

On the good side, there are a lot of cool weapons such as a meat cleaver and a *****in rocket launcher!! You can even shoot someones head CLEAR OFF with a shotgun.

Mercury Shadow
Feb 18th, 2002, 09:08 PM
nevermind, I retract some of my statements from the previous message....

State of Emergency is just like GTA3 in the fact that you have missions. There are 2 modes, a revolution (meaning, an overthrow of the government) mode where you get missions and try to bring down the corporation, and then a chaos mode where you earn points to go on to the next level.

Just buy this game! once you start playing it you'll like it!

Smokey Mcpot

Iono man, i just think this game is crap. Sure thirteen year old kids will eat it up. But i've become very picky with games in the past year. If it isnt exceptional or at least very good i wont get it.
i'm on a tight budget ya know?:cool:
