Heretic

[larry farr]

Well I've just been playing the Heretic beta in single player and deathmatch,
and I must say it is an excellent game. Believe it or not, its better than
Doom !
My buddy just got Rise of the Triad, and he says its even better than
Heretic. Hmmm Christmas is looking good ...

Well, I just got finished playing Heretic, and my opinion hasn't changed
much. The game is still pretty boring. Perhapse it will get better as I
go on. But once thing I did notice is that the sound fx are very weak.
For instance the shooting wand (I don't know the name of it, it's the one
you start with and the equivalent of the DOOM pistol), the sound fx seem
very muffled and aren't as crisp and clear as they should be. Anyone else
notice this?

Ignore that bit in my previous post concerning the ftp.idsoftware.com FSP
site still being under construction - it's active, and the /new directory
contains plenty of pix from the game (gif and pcx format), as well as a
new Deathmatch level designed by American McGee.

There was no mention in the file about the release date on Heretic, but
after reviewing the screen shots, I've the impression that it's real
close to completion...

Word is from Jay Wilber that Romero and Raven are still putting the
finishing touches on the game, but it's not out yet.

One possible site of the game will be id's new FSP server, at the address
'ftp.idsoftware.com'. This is an FSP site, but you can still log in
under ftp in order to get source-code for compiling your own FSP client.

Last I looked, the whole FSP site is still under construction...

Yea, I finished the first episode of Heretic yesterday. The last level (9) was
UNbelievable! I like this game better than DOOM and DOOM II. MUCH better.
I like how you can cast the chicken morph spell and use magic items. This needs
to be expanded. There needs to be more magic items and power-ups, more weapons,
etc. I am drooling for the 2nd & 3rd episodes of Heretic. One time, I had to
use the ring of invincibility, tome of power, and chicken morph, and kick major
ass just to defeat one group of monsters on a level. I really want to
death-match somebody in Heretic. I wonder what the player sprite looks like.
