Team RADI-8 seems to have accomplished their goals perfectly in terms of aesthetics. Many mods and games cannot fully flesh out their concepts and really surpass their hand drawn artwork with in-game models and environments.
From the official website: Some helpful information about the release...
- Neotokyo will be available for download at various sites and torrent.
- Download links will be released in our irc #neotokyo on gamesurge network during our release party. Then posted here and elsewhere.
- This first public release will contain 10 maps total ...all capture the ghost gametype.
- We recommend max 24 player slots. (9v9 to 12v12 are best as far as gameplay and flow). 32 players is fun but a bit spammy.
- Total size of the installer is about 900megs and unzipped is 2gigs.
- In order to run NEOTOKYO, you need to have any game that gives you the source sdk base installed.
The IRC channel has a pretty lively community attached to it. I've been visiting it for 5 years under the moniker "Jin Dogan".
Trailer:
I posted some pictures but there's way more on the sites I listed.
When you posted the news yesterday and left the release date out, I was upset at you. But then when I realized the release date was on Friday. Suddenly, it didn't matter anymore and I was happier than ever.
Honestly, this looks and most likely IS the most professional mod for source period. I've been waiting for this moment for a long time and I seriously can't wait. Thanks for posting so many updates though, it's good to see someone else so excited about it. (Everyone should be)
Looks very high quality; I'll have to try it out, and you can't really beat the price.
Also, you'd get better reactions from people if you linked pictures of the mod into your blogs. Walls of text and links aren't all that appealing. This trailer was enough to convince me, so you should embed it!
@Nukka: I wish I could tell you everything off the top of my head, but check out their MODDB page or the official site. All of the info is listed there.
@nukka; if you want the specifics, you can go onto the irc channel or the forums to ask the devs and playtesters. I do not have any first hand experience but I've been pretty tight with the community and have gotten many questions answered in those two places. If not, you can always wait till friday to give it a shot!
Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
