![]() These two problems are probably what are leading to the appearence of needing to be pixel perfect. If a barrier is already open, you can select another object on the other side of it, so you may need to look to the edge of the barrier to double jam it. And if there are a lot of barriers in a row like Nerve Wrecker, then pay attention while holding the jammer to the what is being highlighted and selected. (Also marking the range of turrets on the ground would have been nice too.) As it is though, you just need to place an object as best as you can in their way, then quickly step back and watch to see if your placement was accurate.Īlso, with double jamming a barrier, make sure that you are all the way inside or outside of the barrier when you set the jammer down. I think the single thing that would have made several of the puzzles with mines and shockers easier would be if their path was marked on the ground, maybe as a burnt line, so you could see where you needed to set objects if you want to block them. You can physically block the mines with jammers to make this even easier.I did this a lot. ![]() All you have to do is walk the jammers around by double jamming and then moving one jammer up. There's still some doubt on that front.Originally posted by Lupus Albus:Yeah, I can definitely say that no actual twitch reflexes or special amount of precision is needed for Egyptian Arcade. The game is clever enough to pull something like that off, and generous enough in its puzzle design to make you feel clever into the bargain. If any game was going to look like a Voodoo 5's fever dream on purpose it'd be the one with a wide-ranging interest in machine-generated worlds, artificial intelligence, and the way that personality imprints itself on nothingness. I don't think that's true for The Talos Principle. ![]() Don't expect any Talos 2 news any time soon tho. We plan on focusing on Talos 2 after releasing Sam 4, but work on it might start even before that, naturally. Chances are, nine times out of ten, that art that says nothing was trying to say something and failed. The project is in a planning phase and has been entierly on hold due to VR projects and Sam 4. In another game I'd write that line off as overthink. More than anything else it reminds me of those benchmarking demos that used to ship with 3DFX cards in the late '90s-depopulated ruins presented for their complexity only, any human point of reference secondary to some mechanical process churning away beneath the surface. This landscape of remixed Greek, Egyptian and medieval styles is technically accomplished but says absolutely nothing: a sense compounded by the fact that the developers let you fiddle with colour filters from the main menu. I'm fascinated by The Talos Principle's lack of visual artistic direction. It's cleverly written stuff, varied and interesting. Its meat is in logs, excerpts, e-mails and interactive conversations that you extract from DOS prompts, records that touch on everything from the day-to-day running of a scientific facility to literature and, particularly, philosophy. The Talos Principle takes place in a number of lands, each of which is divided into a Temple serving as a hub, and seven sub-areas filled with puzzles that need to be solved. There is a surprisingly intricate story being told, here, and its substance is only gestured at by that booming voice in the heavens. Considerations about the meaning of personhood, apocalypse, machine intelligence and the ramifications of the Biblical Fall of man are spun through the game via text-dispensing terminals. Croteam developed Talos because they were experimenting with first-person gameplay for Serious Sam and ended up building some puzzles that led to the project. The other half of The Talos Principle is found in its loftier ideas. Framerate is uncapped and I achieved around 90fps on average with everything turned up to max. You can switch to a third person view, alter the aspect ration, and even alter the colour balance and contrast of the game through a series of filters. The Talos Principle gives you an impressive amount of control over how the game looks and feels.
