the wire frame looks like kryton from red dwarf hehe but the mod does look kewl
 
I tend not to get attached to mods unless they're very closs to completion, mainly because 99% of mods don't make it all the way through the development process. A lot of people seem to think making a mod is just a small hobby, when in fact it could turn into something that ends up taking up most of your time, something some people just can't handle. I know this from experience, I used to work on the DarkTruths mod for Half-Life (it was fairly popular at the time), but the leader simply couldn't take it anymore (especially after 3 years).

Personally, I wouldn't be surpised if all of the mods listed on this page die out. Not to say they will or anything...

Yeah, that's a big worry for most people. Some mod teams have no idea how much effort you have to put in a project for it to survive and thus they drop down dead when people start saying "can't be arsed" and such.

I'm hoping most of the more ambitious mods with dedicated teams will survive though, but you can never be sure.
 
Just hope we won't see too many realistic CS clone mods, we already got enough of those.

But yea there are some impressive looking mods in progress :)>
 
this may sound really friggin stupid, but i've always wanted a good quality realistic car driving/learning to drive game. Like the ones they have in theory lessons (in uk anyways) but better :) and the fishing thing sounds cool :D i had hours of fun on zelda:eek:rcarina of time on N64 fishing :D

Actually that doesn't sound so silly to me. Things like that end up being quite a lot of fun.. Having a properly simulated Car, with other cars around, pedestrians. Basically a town with laws. Would be cool, better than GTA too ;)

lol i thought GTA would have been it, but the fact the cops always wanted to arrest you annoyed me. Like simple stuff such as stopping at traffic lights and flooring it on a motorway (freeway americans?) and loosing control realistically just fill me with oodles of...erm....something gd anyways :D

Yeah, I had hopes GTA would have been like that. It was still fun, but a proper mod of driving, done as realistically as they can would be great. Though I'm sure a lot of kids would complain its too difficult to drive it (be fun when they get their first lesson in RL :) )

Missions could consist of nipping to the local store to buy the weekly shopping (game changes to a trolly dash around ASDA) to picking up the annoying neighbours kids from school, then trying to drive back home with them pestering you constantly. Another mission, going to work during rush hour.. hmm ok maybe not that one, be a tad boring sat in a traffic jam for three quaters of an hour ;)

No I think the point is not like a GTA style mod going around shooting cops stealing cars etc. :p

Edit: moved to general editing.

Test Drive was kinda like that, had more focus on driving the car than racing around.. Old game now, very basic but was really really good for its time. Accolade made it, you can probably find all of them as abandonware now. Hopefully with the extra's, had some great old sport cars :)

Oh and just noticed the fishing mod idea.. a proper fishing sim, would strangely be fun. Atleast there would be no drugged up gangs trying to kill you for a few dollars in it :)
 
or what you could do is that your fishing and if you run out of time to catch a certain amount of fish a strider could come from around the corner and kill or you could try and hit it with your rod
