Realistic Paintball?
by Greg Berkhof · in Game Design and Creative Issues · 12/06/2004 (1:29 pm) · 5 replies
I've been thinking about making a paintball game, but more akin to a sports game rather then an action game. So real guns, physics, locals (anyone in canada herd of SkyBall? games of paintball played in the skydome in toronto)
I market hasnt exactly done paintball justice (extreme paint brawl ring a bell?) and I beleive paintball is a sport, so why not look at a paintball game as less of an action game and more of a sports game?

I seen that game in the stores, I just wrote it off as garbage, as most paintball games are. Its even got a reduced price, I might have to take a look at it, for ideas and a cool game to play.

I was tempted having been a avid paintball player before moving to the states. Had a private paintball club and used to play on ministry of defence land, like the oak hanger tank ranges, and around and about oak hanger which used to be a WWII airstrip.
Havent played since I came here though.

I picked the game up today, pretty good actually, good graphics, and build by only 14 people, which is super rare now-a-days. Luckily, its all speedball (small fields, little or no terrain play) and the game I have in my mind is open fields and such, with a lil speedball thrown in for fun. Im gonna borrow some ideas from it tho :)

Cool glad you liked it, hate it when you recommend something through word of mouth and it turns out to be crap lol. look forward to seeing your game someday :)
