They really should have gone with a premade engine. They spent all these years mostly just developing their inhouse one. They have no game content to speak of after all this time, just an engine with a lot of assets.
[QUOTE=Str4fe;51688281]What's the hype around half life 3 anyways? You just run around and shoot things?
Anyway, my best explanation for overgrowth is that it's a level based reflex fighting game with some stealth elements and a campaign. For every scenario you have to 'scout ahead' and plan your approach. Or anyway, in Lugaru i had, the fighting is actually challenging.
It's not everyones cup of tea but i can clearly see the appeal.[/QUOTE]
Dumb comparison, Half Life 3 is the long-anticipated resolution to gamings greatest cliffhanger, the sequel to an immensely successful series of classic PC games. I don't really need to belittle Overgrowth any more to make my point.
The (old) weekly dev blogs were great and taught a lot about game tech. That alone made it worth buying back when they did the bundle with Natural Selection 2. Glad to see it finally nearing release.

The problem is, it's such an old project that wasn't really an option when they started.
