I bought because of the "interactive" aspect and concept but have NOT bashed the new technological approach because virtual reality is the future.
I am, however, not impressed with "Incoming" as opposed to other games I have downloaded. Yesterday, I downloaded "Half-Life" by Sierra - now that is what I thought and is where I think ITOY should be.
"Game of the Year" PC Gamer, VooDoo Extreme, Gamesmania, Download.net, Houston Chronicle. and over 12 other PC Games Magazines and web sites that rate games.
The audio, 3D graphics, visuals, options are exceptional and once you get to try the demo and compare it to Incoming, you may find that Incoming may impress Compaq but it is the CONSUMERS and GAMERS that matter and that will buy the games.
I hope I am wrong, but someone posted earlier that there are loads of virtual reality game companies, and that is correct - competition is stiff.
Having spoken with Klein, I realize the elation and positive feelings experienced since the success at the show, however, I hope that they have other things in the works because the download left me wondering if the posts at raging bull don't merit some concern and consideration.
I wonder if anyone knows if the "Queen of Interactivity" is going to set up another company and if anyone has her number or contact information please email it to me or post it to me. Because if she doesn't continue with that great interactivity idea, I believe some other firm will run with it if it is not ITOY.
Thanks, Jacalyn |
