Support the gold standard? Deep Shadows' previous game Boiling Point ended up as the poster child for the 'buggy but beautiful' brigade. Its striking cocktail of Deus Ex, Far Cry and GTA was somewhat undermined by its many issues. To quote sparsely from the contents list of the first patch: "posters in bar vanish as you turn away from them", "dog does not cast shadows", "jaguar floats across screen at treetop level".... read more
White gold sound's interesting, the problem is i've got Fallout 3 and Stalker: CS coming out around the same time both of which are gonna require a hell of alot of attention. Leaving White gold as the underdog, unless either are pant's i don't think i will be able to experience this games charms. _________________ C2D2.4GHZ|3GB|2X750-SS-F1|HD2900|

By all means point out that Boiling Point had bugs on release, but why always mention the floating jaguars, etc, which even a lot of 1.0 players never saw, unless you just want to carry on turning the knife for some unknown reason (oh yea - their not a Bethesda or Valve or EA are they?!)!
Well that's journalism for you. You can pretty much see the game getting an inevitable high 70/low 80 percent rating just by the wording of the preview.
I must say though, that this game looks way too much like Far Cry, so it better have some innovation in the gameplay department, because it hasn't got it in the looks.
they actually released patches that fixed 99% of the problems and made the game great!
I played the updated version and it was still horrible, of the unintentionally funny variety - passers-by being killed by walking into stationary cars, trucks trying to drive under low arches, etc. Ambition is admirable, but you have to be able to chew _some_ of it off.
With White Gold, it's definitely a case of wait-and-see.
You could say there has been no such thing as 'neutral journalism' for years, such is the way things are. Mind you, I dont think thats particulary the writers fault. If im not mistaken im sure they're told to prioritise 'big game company x' over 'small game company y', especially with regards to time spent or pages used.
That said, imo PCG UK isn't too bad at this. They hate EA (no, its true!) and they tend to be a damn lot fairer to the minnows then most other publications out there.
As for white gold...looks interesting, might be worth a shot. We shall see.
Yeah it's good i've just started playing it, if your using vista you might wanna give it a miss xp is fine.
Actually it work's fine in vista now, lord knows why. It seem's to be a bit hit and miss, but still a good game. _________________ C2D2.4GHZ|3GB|2X750-SS-F1|HD2900|

White Gold must be better then BP even because it will be next progect after BP. Experience is important thing in game design.
WG haves much more fetures and quality, if I can take into ccount information from Deep Shadows forum. _________________ http://board.deep-shadows.com/index.php?act=idx

Thats a problem for me as well. Defiantly getting clear sky as Stalker is a great game. Then theres far cry two, then possibly fallout 3 then white gold.
They patched the game to REMOVE flying jaguars? Isn't that the kind of thing which would have reviewers gushing if it were found in a Tim Schafer game ?
