Waves Demo Released

hal · Oct 13, 2011

UDK game, Waves, can now be sampled via demo. The full version will be coming to Steam (as well as a standalone DRM-less version from the Squid-in-a-box site) and is set to retail for $9.99. It looks like a pretty fun an colorful shoot-em-up and I'll definitely be looking for it when it hits.

The video makes it look like a perfect two stick game. Will this come to consoles as well?

The 'original' is already there:

(there is a pc version as well)

This variation on the theme looks quite nice tho.

Holy geeez! Did you guys try the demo? AWESOME! The soundtrack is great and... is that announcer lady GladOS? I'm still really looking forward to the final release of this, so far I am still heavily impressed.

the Techno Viking would be pleased

I on the other side am pleased with Xenon 1&2 instead of that.

Plumb_Drumb · Oct 14, 2011

What? Xenon sucks.

nELsOn · Oct 14, 2011

Xenon as in Bitmap Brothers and Bomb the Bass?
How in the world can you say it sucks?

(Well, I guess this weird 2000-something remake wasn't quite as good but Xenon 2... <3)

DarkEmperor · Oct 14, 2011

Yes, I was talking about the original Xenon (1989?) which has superior gameplay and music than this crap

Plumb_Drumb · Oct 14, 2011

It's a bit strange that you would bring up the Xenon games though; this is a different type of shmup altogether.

You could have at least brought up one of the great scrollers! hehe.

Fun as fuck. Loving the soundtrack.

Hideinlight · Oct 14, 2011

The ingame comments made me lol and play a few more times...

nELsOn · Oct 15, 2011

I always thought it looked rather confusing in the videos but while there's a lot going on on the screen it's not really confusing at all. Fun stuff

Bloeb · Oct 15, 2011

Looks like an Asteroids-clone with annoying light-effects, not noteworthy. :hmm:

It doesn't even need to be compared to them. Waves is just too monotonous, stupid and brainless. Not that Xenon is not great of course.

I am currently playing the demo of Steel Storm: Burning Retribution. Nice top-down action packed indie game. I would rather spend 9,99 gold on it instead of Waves. Pity that it costs less than half the price of Waves...

dude, been there beat that game.

It doesn't really matter. You're so off topic it's useless.

If you say so.

Plumb_Drumb · Oct 16, 2011

god, you suck

Sir_Brizz · Oct 16, 2011

Steel Storm is fine but it isn't a true dual stick shooter and it doesn't have any controller support. It's also vastly different than Waves.

Kyllian · Oct 17, 2011

That reminds me, I need to put a 360 controller on my xmas list as nothing recognizes my PSX->USB adapted controller

That's true. It is not like being stuck in a vertical cylindrical tube moving in circles for hours until you have no brain cells left to burn...
