ADG Episode 115 - Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri

Описание: Originally Released: June 8th, 2013

------------------------------------------

This is one of those games that makes me hate the notion of "popularity" sometimes. It is extremely fun, exceptionally well made from a technical standpoint, has a ton of content, and earned glowing reviews from the publications of the time... yet because of how expensive it was to make and its lukewarm popularity, as was common for Looking Glass titles, it never recouped its cost to make and thus the sequels they had planned never materialized.

This game SO needs to get a sequel someday. :)

Additional Information and Corrections:

As of mid 2015, this game is now available on GOG! Click your way here to get it: https://www.gog.com/game/terra_nova_s...

Here’s a good site to find more information and fan-related stuff for this game, as well as BOTH demo versions: http://www.ttlg.com/tnova/

Yes, the same voice actress who played SHODAN (Terri Brosius) also does the voice effects for your suit functions. ;)

One thing that kinda confuses me when I stop and think about it is how a HELMET has MFDs and clickable interfaces... How would the operator utilize or even see those things? In fact, there’s a massive graphical disconnect between the insides of the helmets and the actual exterior designs of them. However, because of how awesome the game is it’s one of those things I don’t think a lot of people really notice or care about. ^_^;

One of the more interesting weapons I failed to mention are the Smoke Grenades, which can be used to generate massive clouds of smoke to block the effects of lasers. They have their uses early in the game but are almost useless later on and hard to effectively use in the first place.

Just like System Shock, you’ll probably have to reverse the stereo effects for the audio. However, the cutscenes fail to take this setting into account since, again, just like System Shock, you can’t adjust the options until you’re actually playing the game and the settings are saved with save games, not globally for all players. :P
