Sounds interesting but the only way you will get me to believe this is if you post some info (concept art,etc..) on the game. Other wise I'm having a hard time believing this.
The overall "press release" is really unprofessional. It sounds like a couple of kids in junior high just got their hands on a Mac and the SDK. 1) Fission FPS (FPS necessary in the title? It just feels cheap). 2) "!!!!" Really? 3) Massive hyperbole and comparisons to games that aren't even out.
I still have a hard time believing that a game called Fission FPS will have a better story and graphics than DOOM: Resurrection. So may i assume the project was called off, OP?
Another announcement from iphoneprogrammer...http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=16147...there has been no word on the progress of this little one either...
Wow, it's like he chronicles his ideas here. Doesn't look like he'll ever get around to developing either of those.
Well then, in the case that he is actually serious about this, i apologize for making fun of your project
wHat the hell would concept art prove? Screenshots or it never happened. I can post Andy Warhol paintings and claim them as concept art for my new Cambell Soup game. Doesn't mean it will ever get off the ground. Or be any indicator for how the finish product will play. Edit: just to clarify, it will be THE best soup based game of 2009.
What is there to get back on track about? We have had no confirmation from the dev that this game/company even exists, so as far as I'm concerned, this is just some silly little prank.
The dev did reply. But it was one of the offending posts that were deleted. So if the dev would like to rewrite the post to update us on the project, its up to him. But in any case, the rest of us, please stop insulting him or his project. Edit: Let me quote the important bits he said:
Ok guys here is a gist of whats going on. I am not the programmer. I do some of the Graphic Design for the game. At first I had high expectations for this game, but i have little idea where this game is heading. Now i have extremely high hopes for this game. Just from some of the concept art myself and my brother and my coworkers have come up with i am expecting a great game. We are going for a story driven FPS like Doom Resurection, and the game will not be on rails. AS for aiming and shooting, the controls are similar to Modern Combat Sandstorm. Walk with a d-pad but aim with a finger drag. The 5 programmers we have are always in constant contact with each other but i am given a decent amount of info. They dont have TA accounts because they work all the time and dont really have the time to talk to the consumers. Thats my job. So any questions you guys have I will relay to the programmers. Right now the story line is this: (kind of cliche' but bear with us) You are one of few humans left on the earth after a mysterious storm. You wake up the next day to find that every single motorized machine is out to kill you and its up to you and the rest of the survivors to get down to the bottom of what happened and shut down the machines for good. Its kind of like a movie that i saw once, in which machines could control themselves and everyone was doomed. Like a vending machine went crazy and started shooting soda cans at people. But thats a basic gist of what goin on. Sorry to Prab and every other TAer for using the language I was annoyed at that person for making stupid comments. ALSO WE WERE THINKING ABOUT CHANGING THE NAME BECAUSE FISSION DOESN'T REALLY FIT ANY LONEGER. PLEASE HELP US PICK THE NEW NAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The game is projected to come out sometime next year. There is a lot to do and we dont want to submit a crappy game.
And then... I thought you would finish that sentence?! Looking forward to see those screenshots, best of luck. Peace.
actually he's talking about maximum overdrive http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7K44PqV2Idk be warned however, for that video clip is disturbingly awesome.
