Neotokyo Interview at Mod HQ

[Sui]

Mod-HQ.com were airdropped into Tokyo this morning at 0150 hours, sweeping through tight, cluttered streets and questioning the local techkids for the location of PushBAK, an internet criminal known for the illegal spreading of digital media propaganda. In other words, Mod-HQ have interviewed one of the lead developers of Neotokyo. He actually lives in San Francisco, not Japan- and he’s not really a criminal, but that’s not the point. [br] [br] In the interview PushBAK sheds light on Neotokyo’s key features, including game modes, weapons and the recent engine switches. What’s probably more interesting to most readers, however, is the exposure of the joys and hardships experienced while making a modification - which make this interview a decent read for both fans of the upcoming Neotokyo mod and those who are intrigued by mods in general. You can read it here. [br] There have also been numerous new screenshots released, which can be found on the Neotokyo website. [br]

[JNightshade]

That looks awesome! Those effects are really professional... and the positions of the playermodels look super-dynamic and cool. Really A+ work :thumbs:

 

[Fliko]

Damn... that is good
I feel like I'm looking at screenshots with enough quality to gain hype like HL2
EDIT: Why does the forum for this mod talk about UT2004, did they recently switch over to the HL2 engine?

 

[CrazyHarij]

I'm in love. That looks ****ing amazing.

 

[polyguns]

squirt squirt


dystopia who?

 

[Mess]

Mapping isn't as good as the other aspects, which are all otherwise excellent. Goes to show what a quality coder can do for a mod.

 

[Betelgeuze]

@Flike: When HL2 was leaked and Valve desided to wait an extra year to release HL2, they couldnt wait and made a UT2004 version but Neotokyo is still a HL2 project.

@Mess: they just started on the mapping part of the mod, nothing is realy finished.


Its all in the interview, read it please!

 

[OvA]

sort of... well not recently.... they released a ut2k4 version a good while back.

 

[Robinhood_01]

First mod. i'd actually pay for, hope it's as exciting as it looks

 

[1Luc1]

so iam the only one who thinks this cant be the source engine??

Honestly that looks awesome!!!!!!

 

[dogboy73]

Best looking mod I've seen so far I rekcon. Bloody awesome. The character models look very cool.

The website is bloody awesome as well. Have you guys checked the media there? My God! I'm gob-smacked!! This is a work of art. I don't care what the mod is actually. Some of the most beautiful graphics I've ever seen in any game. And who's doing the artworks? There's some serious talent at work there. This looks like a Manga game. Wow!

 

[SgtSpamBoy]

Holy crap! I just messed me knickers...

 

[Krynn72]

It doesnt look THAT good. Definately not the most beautiful graphics in any game... but they are damned impressive for a mod. This guys have so much enthusiasm for the project, it make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Its great to see such talented people working so hard on something they like... and then letting me play it for free

 

[Dr. Shim]

Those look awesome!
Thermal vision looks grainy which is... Awesome!

Wow I just peed all over my keyboard. Neo Tokyo is so sweet, I want to crap myself. Neo Tokyo will rule, and that's a fact.

 

[-TaNaKa-]

looks good, nice.

 

[Jimmeh]

Looking good, awesome website too. Who composed the music?

 

[xiliquiern]

Looking good, awesome website too. Who composed the music?

A guy known as Logic. There is more info about him in the interview...

 

[taroq]

I played this when they released it for UT2K4 and even then, without the graphical polish, it was one of the greatest mods I'd ever played. Now it looks like it'll be competing even with commercial level works! I'd have to say that this is my top mod right now... GO NEOTOKYO!

 

[umop]

mod's lookin pretty slick, should be fun to play, i'll be checkin it out

 

[Dodo]

i need to say this a second time. F***ING HELL. that looks... what's the word... FL4BBERGH4STING !!! you guys keep me modding

-dodo

edit: thanks. lol

 

[JNightshade]

Do I see a lean function? I think I do! YAY!

Also, you forgot an H. It's FL4BB3RGH4ST1NG!!!

 

[TheSomeone]

Woah o.o

 

[Jimmeh]

A guy known as Logic. There is more info about him in the interview...

Oh right, I didn't realise the music was made specifically for Neotokyo. Blimey :O

 

[xrikazen]

awesome

 

[IchI]

Very nice media, I have semi followed this mod for some time, the ut2k4 version looked very nice but the game dynamics failed horrible. I really hope this time they have it perfected. Don't get the me wrong the ut2k4 version was good, but it got very boring very fast because of very simply mistakes. I remember someone I know commenting on this when the mod was released and the leader disagreed. May be he was been defensive, but I really hope it plays as well as it looks

 

[Kon]

When I saw this back when it was new in development, I knew it would be a great mod.

 

[StardogChampion]

I didn't like the UT2004 mod much, lets hope this is better.
