Does anyone think this game should have geo-mod-like qualities?
Now from what I've read Descent 4 was supposed to have the Geo Mod put into it. That is until it was cancelled and all the Geo Mod stuff was used in Red Faction.
I personally would like to see Core Decision use something similar.
Geo mod in this??

Geo-Mod was really a feature ahead of it's time. I don't expect to see game engines that can really handle destroyable/deformable levels for a long time. And deformable levels aren't even what developers are working on, plus it would really require a total rethinking about how levels and maps are constructed. And not just from a construction standpoint, key hunts and code searches would be meaningless in a game where any door in your way can just be blown up.

very true Krom.... but I've always found it curious that you could shoot a missile roughly the same size as your ship that, on detonation, is able to shake the entire MINE and not so much as scorch the door it was fired at!Krom wrote:...And not just from a construction standpoint, key hunts and code searches would be meaningless in a game where any door in your way can just be blown up.
