[/color'] Wow, It's Descent with the name Defender on it! Some games are just better left as 2D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted October 4, 2002 Share Posted October 4, 2002 Whatever that is, it's not Defender. They may call it Defender, but that's definitely not the Defender I know. Defender 2000 is Defender, but first-person will never really be Defender. However, it looks like a good game, and may perhaps be worthy to carry on the legacy... although I doubt it'll be able to outdo the original. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari Master Posted October 5, 2002 Share Posted October 5, 2002 This may be news to you people but games change as time goes on. And I'm getting that game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liveinabin Posted October 5, 2002 Share Posted October 5, 2002 No they don't. New games and genres are released and thats all very good. BUT the game remains the same. Defender is what it was designed as, a 2d bi-directional adrenaline fix. Making Defender a 3D game may make for a good game but it isn't Defender. They should call it something else. This is a lot like, say, taking a few key phrases of a Beatles song, changing the instruments, the tune and most of the other lyrics and claiming it to be the same song. As soon as art is made, that's it.[/b] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquid_sky Posted October 5, 2002 Share Posted October 5, 2002 using the defendername will give it hype and credibillity moreso than trying to come out with a new franchice is my reasoning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Master Posted October 5, 2002 Share Posted October 5, 2002 How do you all know it's not the same? It might have better graphics but it could have the same concept. It could be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linkin Park Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 It looks like a pretty good game and all, but I will not be buying it. Probably renting it, but not buying it. For two reasons: 1. It doesn't look like its worth $50 of my money I could spend on something else 2. I can play the much-better-looking original version for nothing at all! Seriously, graphix look good, but graphix aren't everything. I'd have to wait until it came out in order to talk about it more in depth.

Inky Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 There was a second sequel to Defender, but I don't remember the name, or if the rom on MAME was prototype. Does anyone recall this? IIRC, it wasn't that spectacular... Oh it had great GFX and SFX, but it was a big so what... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariDude Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 Are you referring to Stargate or is it another game that you are referring to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 Are you referring to Stargate or is it another game that you are referring to? It's a different game. I know I dloaded the rom from MAME DK before they went lame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
