Nuclear Dawn Website Launched

[-smash-]

Finally, your anticipation can end, sort of. After waiting for about 7 years (Maybe a bit less), the Nuclear Dawn website has been launched and to celebrate, the team has included some new screenshots and concept art of this Half-life 2 modification. But what exactly is Nuclear Dawn about?

Nuclear Dawn is a modification for Valve’s Source engine that combines visceral and violent First Person Shooter action with fast-paced Real Time Strategy in the aftermath of an apocalyptic war. You can choose the mission or lead the attack as a commander, marshalling resources and deploying weapons and equipment for your team to use. You can storm a building as an assault trooper, cling to the shadows and rely on your active camouflage as a stealth, or unleash terrible firepower from a powered suit of exo-armor…

That is quite the sexy looking gun in that last screenshot :o

 

[xombine]

Damn that stuff looks good! This is turning out to be great!

 

[OvA]

oh shit, I was expecting this to look good, but DAMN

 

[Ennui]

Fantastic media and the team's all over the place. I'm liking it.

 

[nutcrackr]

Fourth quarter 2006, I'm sure glad they waited till now

 

[Kadayi]

V.Nice looking. One to watch I feel. Hope to see some footage soon.

 

[JNightshade]

That's just awesome

 

[Sui]

Looks. Bloody. Awesome.

 

[Captain M4d]

ugh...oops...I'll be right back.

 

[Praetorius]

Great stuff, great stuff. Looks like they might just be able to deliver on the hype.

 

[Asuka]

Is it me or does this look INSANE! Look at the GFX! Holy shit....Wtf...

I want you to tear this ship apart, until you find those plans!

I don't know what this FPS/RTS hybrid crap is about lately, but it looks awesome!

 

[DuB]

Indeed looking awesome.

IMO it's because the teams are recongnising that the market is saturated with "brainless" / simple CS:S/HL2-DM type of games. Trying to add a little more depth I suppose, by adding the RTS element which I for one, am very glad about

 

[Roland Deschain]

Very gritty looking mod; lets see if the gameplay pans out.

 

[ktimekiller]

Looks FANTASTIC

 

[UltimaApocalypse]

For some reason the back of those models remind me of Stormtroopers.

And yeah, looking great so far.

 

[Betelgeuze]

OMFG! I love the textures and skins they made.... and no hl2/css textures

 

[Geogriffith]

or unleash terrible firepower from a powered suit of exo-armor…

Ah yes, M.I.T. style FTW!

 

[Penfold]

This looks great! Also, whilst just looking throught throught the screenshots I noticed there is a small, what looks like a small Lamda logo in the top-right of this screenshot, just above 10:34 on the digital clock. Just thought you might all like to see it

Infact that's not the lamda logo, but a japanese charachter, which I think means something like "person" (that whole line is japanese text)
It does look a little like the lamda sign...

[Sulkdodds]

Well I never.

 

[Crispy]

Good stuff and an excellent-looking website.

 

[westie]

WOW that looks cool.

 

[bigburpco]

Sweet stuff man. They also know their tactics (getting everybody excited...)

That can be Japanese or Chinese.

 

[polyguns]

looks a million times better and more origional then sin episodes. and it blows anything ive seen from dystopia AWAY.


hell looks better then hl2.

if it was a real game i could get the box, poke a hole in it and make sweet love to it

 

[Gorgon]

com on bring on the final version......

 

[Varsity]

For some reason the back of those models remind me of Stormtroopers.

And the front, Combine.

 

[clarky003]

It looks kick ass, Imo those player models look very similar to some of dysotopia's, except less colourful.

 

[polyguns]

and hl2. notice all these mods have the glowing eyes gas mask.


finally looked at the site. way cool screens there

 

[Garfield_]

Damn, Damn, Damn, Damn, Damn, Damn, Damn, this looks good

 

[[eXp]Grey]

indeed ... but fourth quarter 2006 ?

That wasnt worth the countdown hype. Its still only a MOD and no fullprice game, they shouldt rate it too high.

 

[DjBourgeoisie]

Looks good, but the gameplay sounds like a ripoff of natural selection. Doesnt mean I wont play it I just found the similarities pretty obvious.

 

[Cruor]

Holy shit, that minigun is the sexah!

 

[Beerdude26]

Great graphics, we'll see how it plays.

 

[NoNe]

The media is truly impressive, and I'd like to congratulate the webdesigner for a nice layout as well

NS has pretty much spawned a new genre by popularising the FPS/RTS crossover. I think that we'll see a lot more from this 'new genre' than just Iron Grip, Zombie Master, Empires and Nuclear Dawn.

 

[^Ben]

Congrats on 2 years worth of work :roll:

I hope so because I LOVE ns... I hope my comment wasnt taken wrong, I think ND looks great, I hope it can deliver on what counts though which is gameplay.
