Gloom 3 - The Director's Cut Preview Slideshow ---------------------------------------------- By Gareth Murfin This is a slideshow of screenshots from the up and coming Amiga title By Alpha Software, Gloom 3 - The Director's Cut (G3DC). G3DC is still in an early stage of development but these screen shots show how it appears at the moment, and are a good indication of what the final game will look like. G3DC is a completely new game and not just a re-vamp of Gloom 3 - Ultimate Gloom. Many, many improvements have been made to make sure this is the best Gloom game yet, and to hopefully compete with Amiga Doom & Quake for low end Amiga user's who can't play Quake/Doom at a playable rate. G3DC is still a great buy for all Amiga owners with its 020/030/040/060 & GFX card enhanced routines. A few new features in G3DC include : - 50 New levels with enhanced level design - All new GFX & SFX created by Professionals (this time!) - 11 new characters each with 48 frames of animation (as oppose to g3's 16!) - Full Multitasking on Amiga's with 5 Meg+ (Play in any screenmode!) - New Shadow & Lighting effects (experience the game not just play it!) - New enemy Artificial Intelligence (enemies hide, then attack you from behind) - 60 Meg FMV full screen intro with actors! (on 030 11 Meg) - 60 Meg FMV out-takes (see the actor bloopers!) - 30 Meg of Alpha Freeware releases (save's you having to download them!) - G3DC Desktop package + Screen saver (give your WB a G3DC theme) - Fully Interactive Monroeville Mall (Walk the set of Dawn of the dead) - Audio tracks from the award winning 'William Morton' (Live performances!) - Artwork from the award winning 'Jason Jordache' - 'GloomHack' provides a 33% speed increase on all Amiga's with 5 Meg+ Plus, LOTS, LOTS more! (any suggestions to gazy@globalnet.co.uk) G3DC is a CD-ROM release and already consists of more than 150 meg of pure quality, piraters will NOT even get a taster of the real thing. The Intro slideshow ------------------- The introduction slide show is a few grabs from the full motion video introduction which has full speech and music and plays at a staggering 19fps even on an 030 AGA Amiga. The introduction lasts around 7 minutes and uses over 70 meg on the CD-ROM. These grabs are *exactly* what the introduction will look like in the final game, except they appear slightly worse as individual frames rather than streaming video.
