Xiau, if you think FPS aren't fast action enough, you've obviously never played Serious Sam. It's the only FPS that actually tired me out, the action is so relentless.

Xiaou2:

 Speed means very little without balance of control and challenge.

 FPS perspective reduces your control immediately because you can
not see behind you.   It again is reduced because your characters
actions are not translated very well... meaning..  a real human in
a real enviornment can react like 10x faster than a FPS controlled
character.  Not only react faster... but have more fluidity and bodily control.
 
 
 Also, I pretty much say that anyone can beat a FPS game eventually...
where as not too many may have the skill and dedication to beat a
game like Platypus.   Or another example... is getting good enough to
say...  get to level 40 on Robotron.   Took me a year of off/on playing
to finally beat Thunderforce II.

 And now...  can you really say that Serious Sam was more fun than
a good old 2d  Super Mario world  romp?


 To each his own.   But I just dont get any pleasure from FPS games.

I am capable of enjoying both apples and oranges. I refuse to compare them as the same thing.

If the person doesn't like an FPS game why should they have the skill and dedication to beat it?  Also anyone can have the skill and dedication to beat Platypus since anyone can find it fun and start playing.

Question.  Can you see behind yourself?

AtomSmasher:
I'm surprised no ones brought this topic back now that the game is out.

I played through the demo earlier today and while it does seem like a fairly entertaining game, it doesn't even remotely feel like galaga.  It's way too chaotic and you have turrets that you're constantly rearranging their placement and direction, which is fun at first, but I can see it getting old quick.  The demo was short, so I could be wrong, but that's just my initial impression of the game.  I won't be buying this one.
