That is odd considering they also said this just last week:
"With a cool weapons system, complex environments, lots of character and style, Pariah looks like it's going to be a pretty fun and involving game that puts the Digital Extremes stamp on single-player shooters in a way that Unreal II couldn't quite do. I don't know if it will blow you away, but you'll have to make an effort to not have some fun."

For those of us who can't get to the front page during the day.
The last video I saw of this looked godawful. We'll all know soon enough.
Any word on bots so we can also get an impression of the AI? Even the past few UT demos had bots. I still remember how jam packed full of goodness the 2k4 demo was. XMP and 2k3 died that day.

I don't know if Pariah is going to kill off 2k4. At best I think it will be a healthy diversion. I am more interested in how it stacks up compared to Halo than anything else, personally.
Hopefully it does good, I don't want to have to have another game that wasn't worth the money. From everything I have seen about it though, I'm sure it will be great. Guess we'll find out for sure in a few hours.

Why is 'consolized' such a bad word ?
I'd say it's about time some things were 'simplified' ...
The only slightly worrying thing is the 'dumb AI', but then again I've yet to see a game that had decent AI at all. And on top of that there's the fact that the Pariah-team has mentioned that different types of enemy use different behaviours for the AI.
So perhaps it was just a bunch of novice-level fragfodder ?

I guess these guys don't understand jokes

Why is consolized bad? Two words: Invisible War.
I'm worried that because of the Xbox constraints Pariah's levels will turn out extremely tiny and linear. I shouldn't even worry, because it's a given they will be.

You don't think the HL2 AI or the H2 AI was decent ... what about FarCry? Just curious JaFO.

Well we'll get a taste in roughly 15 hours ... but really if that is your concern are you worried about UC2 as well ... or did they do a really good job with their levels ... I haven't gotten a chance to play the demo .. and that comes out Tuesday anyway. Should I buy that? Or the D3 expansion pack? Or just wait for Pariah? What would you all do ... (as if I have to ask ... you'd probably sell your siblings for UC2 and Pariah
)
I haven't seen HL2-AI and I won't because I refuse to touch anything Steam-related. I guess it's ok, considering the semi-scripted AI in HL1 is my baseline reference for AI.Anuban said:You don't think the HL2 AI or the H2 AI was decent ... what about FarCry? Just curious JaFO.
H2 ? Haven't played it either, besides it's a Xbox-game. Halo 1 was too boring, so I never noticed anything special about the AI..
Farcry ? Good AI in theory, but far too easy to break in the demo especially considering that I wasn't even trying to break it.
Besides ... neither of these games has AI in multiplayer. So in this aspect UT-series still is the best (which is very very sad).
I guess I'm an exception when I say that I liked Deus Ex:IW despite some of its faults ?
