Man, RPS has only three posts on Cryostasis. Kinda funny. The game was okay, I find.

I was intrigued by this, then I tracked down the website and scanned through a couple screenshots…soon, I was looking at mutants from Stalker 3… Seriously, can’t we get a high-tech 3d game that doesn’t involve aliens, mutants, genetically modified soldiers, bioweapons and/or psychics? (Or government* conspiracies involving aliens, mutants, genetically modified soldiers, bioweapons and/or psychics?) Or, if I have to chance upon a mutant super-soldier, for once, can he *NOT* try and kill me? Perhaps he could actually be dealing with the trauma of being turned into something less/more than human? Of course, if I ever get that in a game, invariably I’d have to kill them or they’d kill themselves…

It’s either that or orcs and elves.

*USA’s government, or, if we’re lucky, Russia.

/me ponders a shadowy government agency involved in the Orcs and Elves conspiracy.

5 seconds for the complete warming . I know that everyone will say that it is like Bioshock, is inevitable. This is the only part in the game – maybe 20 seconds – with music “like Bioshock”. But it is impossible to avoid the topic, the game is like Bioshock XD

Really warming takes about 10-20 seconds. But it is much for a player today . But maybe in the alpha version was 2 minutes ;)

The beauty of the pc is. If the warm up is too slow? Mod it. Sorted. Hopefully the real game will give you interesting things to do in the warm.

Talked to the devs at the GC in Leipzig in the PR-Section. They showed me the game and it was looking fine. But the gameplay was always broken up when the player needs to warm up. It kinda sucks that the warming-up-phase takes a minute or two and you can’t do anything while you’re getting hot. But you need to do this cause otherwise you’d fucking die cause of fucking ice.

errr well. yeah. graphics were nice :)

Hmm… looks like a high tech uber scripted FPS, á la Dark Corners of Earth with DX10. I don´t like those. They tend to become so predictably boring after half an hour of gameplay.

No dynamic shadows from the flashlight:( That’s a pity, considering what the engine can do.

After Silent Hill Homecoming and HL2-EP2 there is no excuse that the flashlight doesn’t cast shadows! It’s plain wrong:)

If there’s anything Penumbra taught me, it’s that the only for a game to scare me is to remove any feasible method for combat.

Regardless, Cryostasis looks purty good..

Played the tech demo and it is very nice. Ran very well considering. If I were to grab my old 8600GTS and use it for PhysX then yeah it may run much better.

Either way this game looks more entertaining and PC orientated over bioshock.
