LAST EDITED ON Jun-28-00 AT 08:15 AM (Pacific)A lot of reading there, and not much of anything new, though the statement:
"In practice, movement and combat are easy enough, if not as simple as in most shooters."
Does worry me. It is not the first time I have heard the combat in this game related to a shooter.
And regarding the title of my post, just an error I caught in reading the review. At one point the reviewer called the game Wizardry & Warriors.
Nice that he was able to throw a barb Sir-techs way as well:
"Unlike Sirtech’s perennially under development Wizardry 8, though, Wizards & Warriors takes place in an entirely new milieu, a world of Bradley’s own creation, although it does have some fairly obvious ties to his earlier work."
There was actually a lot of parallel drawing, saying that this character was based on a, b and c, ... the game has bits of Wizardry, M&M, Ultima, ...
The one thing that I still find funny, is that they keep throwing out that the game has "some 300 inventory items", when Wiz 7 had over 500 (almost 600), and we complain that there weren't enough (mostly in the race/class/gender specific areas).
And for what it's worth, I just got a computer game mag yesterday that lists the "They say/We say" release dates, and they both seem to agree that this game is now coming out in Winter 2000 (not Fall 2000 as previously expected).
