Hybrid - Games - Facepunch Forum

I have recently found myself interested in an FPS game that has been in development for the past 7 years (since 2003). When I first heard of the game today, I was like sounds pretty awesome. I then saw that it was announced in 2003 and was like "oh, this was probably scrapped," however I was pleased when I went to the developer's website and saw that the game is still in development, and that the reason the game is taking so long to develop is because they are using a game engine that is still in it's development stages (just like the game is). Here's the game's official website, and below is the game's official announcement, courtesy of GameSpot: [url]http://www.vulcan.co.uk/hybrid/index.htm[/url] [quote]UK-based Vulcan Software has announced that it's working on Hybrid, a futuristic first-person shooter in which players will assume the role of Lieutenant Marek Hale of the resource and cargo ship Navasota. At the end of a six-month voyage to a mining facility on one of Neptune's moons, Hale awakes to the sound of ship alarms, explosions, and screaming. The Navasota, it seems, has been intercepted by an alien vessel of unknown origin, and its self destruct sequence has been initiated. "We are very excited about the development of Hybrid," said Vulcan director Paul Carrington. "Having invested heavily in our own 3D technology, we are anxious to show the world a new breed of FPS, in which stunning 3D visuals provide more than a mere backdrop to the gameplay by offering extensive interactive possibilities. There will be countless ways to kill, evade, or fool the enemy characters, who possess AI systems that allow them to use the interactivity of the environments to their own advantage." Players will have to single-handedly take on the alien hybrid race, and as they progress through the game, they'll take in a number of different locales, ranging from the interior of the Navasota to the surface of the Neptunian moon Nereid. No release date or publisher has been announced for Hybrid at this time.[/quote] Source: [url]http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/hybrid/news.html?sid=6023486[/url]

Jesus fuck, this is still in development? I remember reading about this in 2004 or 2005.

The thing with games that have been worked on for such a long time is that they end up with out dated game play. That is a [B]bad[/B] thing.

This is going to be very out dated.

Never going to come out/going to be horribly boring or buggy and not deliver half the features it promises

at bottom of the dev page: last updated 13 Jan 2006 doubting it will ever come out to be honest and fair

I disagree with Infected Vagina on the importance of graphics. If the animations are good enough, I'd play it. However, the "forum" link on the dev's page links to a dead site for me, which I think is a very very bad sign.
