POSTAL Megathread: Let's piss on everything and blow their heads off v1 - Games

Im wondering which is easier to develop for, ignoring prices.

Unreal 3/UDK is amazing to work with. With Hammer, it's easy to learn, but a lot of the technology is outdated, so it'd be best to wait for Source 2 before making anything in it. You could also use CryEngine, but I'm not a big fan of it.

I started out on Unreal 2 and had to use source for PIII and hated every moment of it (mostly due to being used to Unreal). The global illumination in Source at the time was leaps and bounds ahead of Unreal though, but spoiled by them not having lighting preview in the editor did they ever add that?) Unreal 3 is just dope to work with, so wish we could just port P2 over to it and carry on from there :)

But thats about it.

Look what i just found in postal 3's models files :v: [img]http://i.imgur.com/XliSolA.png[/img]

I love the Soruce engine but I really don't like it for Postal, a lot of the usual default source sounds, the map node load thing before each level, and I'm sure there is a map size limit so transitions were needed

[QUOTE=GintokiSakata;43565202]Look what i just found in postal 3's models files :v: [img]http://i.imgur.com/XliSolA.png[/img][/QUOTE] This is the model the guy who made the models for 2 did, right? Think it could be fixed up? I could help with texture needs.

[QUOTE=AaronM202;43565477]This is the model the guy who made the models for 2 did, right? [/QUOTE] I think so. [QUOTE=AaronM202;43565477] Think it could be fixed up? I could help with texture needs. [/QUOTE] Probably the texture is the same that the one showcased in the deviantart page of the original author (or a similar one atleast) But Akella ripped the lower part of the coat because this model was going to be used in the main menu (sitting in the couch) someone with modelling skill could recreate it and use the texture to line up the uv.

God damn, im watching videos of it, did Russian Postal have ANY sound design?

[QUOTE=UberMunchkin;43566453]I played POSTAL 3, gave up for the night after trying to finish the mission with the cats and mexicans. I'm considering a lobotomy[/QUOTE] Its a very simple mission, although its stupid to pit you against heavily armed enemies on like the 3rd level you could throw the cats on them to kill them or sprint into them to knock them over (not kill them)

The main thing about the cat mission is to make sure you pick up the not so obvious catnip at the very start so you have enough to last the entire level.

I honestly had no problem with the cat mission, now the border control mission, uhg that was just shit.

Worst mission is the ultra broken gimp escort

I feel bad that this thread slowed down so much because a lot of the usual posters moved to the RWS forum :v:

Whatever happened to that Postal 2 remake some fans were working on? It looked all HD and shit, was pretty interesting

The music in the main menu of P3 is pretty cool [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-U74V-tnp4[/media]

Well considering 90% of it isn't real. The blood and gore and shit are all obviously done with after effects for example

Pretty sure it's a joke. It has to be a joke, right? Also toploader I'm so sorry but I have to back out of beta testing. Work suddenly picked up this past week and some other things my NDA doesn't let me talk about, so I have much less time now.

[QUOTE=Ericson666;43570536]Whatever happened to that Postal 2 remake some fans were working on? It looked all HD and shit, was pretty interesting[/QUOTE] It's not really tbh. While we don't mind this being done, I have very little, if any faith in this mod team to even finish it let alone make anything worth making. And to think they were trying to get RWS to agree to let them do a Kickstarter... I'd love an experienced mod team to attempt such a project.

I would laugh to see something like the frostbite engine be used for a game like postal

I like how in that video they added the gore through post processing and the guy is still calmly typing on his pc after getting his head blown off I just looked at the comments and they actually try to hide it, ridiculous. No modding team worth their salt would do something like this: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/cXBxM3K.png[/IMG] Basically all they did was a bunch of art assets

Wish I could register on the RWS forum. Seems intereting

No discussion about the Mike J office update you QA's just got, okay? :)

[QUOTE=Toploader;43571748]No discussion about the Mike J office update you QA's just got, okay? :)[/QUOTE] Oh shit that is out now?

In our internal beta only.

when will the pictures be added to mike j's office
