Comments on: Postal III – Even The Devs Don’t Seem Impressed http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2008/08/21/postal-iii-even-the-devs-dont-seem-impressed/ Mon, 13 Feb 2012 20:18:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: The Shed http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2008/08/21/postal-iii-even-the-devs-dont-seem-impressed/#comment-84406 The Shed Tue, 02 Sep 2008 17:36:52 +0000 http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/?p=2365#comment-84406 The ridiculous "escape from the cell" thing is just Postal doing its normal gig- taking the piss out of everything. In this case it's obviously taking the piss out of all cell situations in games- MGS, Thief, Oblivion... It's just their style. Possibly the most sketchy thing about the footage was the rubbish falling over animations. That was embarassingly bad.

I still think Source is one of the nicest engines. Ep2 was gorgeous and obviously TF2, although I imagine anything Valve make would be very good looking regardless of th engine. In my opinion it's more about design than the graphics, companies seem to think that using UnrealEngine3 will make their game will be enough to make it look good.

Any game where you can pee yourself in the face and make yourself puke needs a damn medal.</i> I wouldn't go that far, but you do have a point. It's at least something a little different to your typical shooter. Whether the new one will be significantly different to the last though, is arguably more important.

I dare you! See, you can't. RWS gets the respect it deserves, for actually trying something completely different than the stock games. Postal was fun, in it's own unique way.

Postal 2 might have been a horrible game, but personally I found the multiplayer aspect to be entertaining, hopefully Postal 3 will be a game that puts them on the map and won't make them the laughing stock of the gaming community.
