1: a character-editor for male and female players of the game!
developers will say that this isnt good for the rendered videos!
i say that do to the fact that the rooky wasnt shown that much in the videos at all, it doesnt matter!

2: a nice and easy to use map-editor! have a look at far cry 2!

3: other weapons/gadgeds with more usefull trials in the levels!
example: the potential of the slimegun wasnt used to the max in the game. the other weapons wasnt realy needet, could have all be done by proton stream.

3.a: i also never liked the fact that new things pops up on the pack! better introduction please!

3.b: the idea of an pack-editor takes place! once u recieved a new technik, u have to build it in the hq between the leves! multible ways throu out the levels are needed!
example: if u havnt developed the slingun far enough yet, u cant get pass blackslime barriers, or finding artifacts/ghostscans! find an other way!
this rises the replay-value of the game, because in the 2nd run all ur developed technics are present from the beginning!
thats all for now!
what do u think?

He didn't show up in all of them, but the ones he did showed him pretty extensively… there was the scene in the elevator at the Sedgewick and at the stairs of the hotel with Egon, some pretty expression-heavy Rookie scenes.

That was done to give the Packs more visual interest, and to show which mode was selected.

i mean when getting the new weaponmode! it just appears on the pack!
like on the floor in the librarylevel! first nothing specil and then… bling, there is the dark matter generator!

back to the rooky:
it must be possible to choose at least female, male, a couple of headmmodels, beards, glaases, haircuts!
so there must be a videosequence for every possible playerconfig u can choose on the disc! then u install the game from the disc with the ingame movies only matching the choosen model configuration! and if its gonna be like the actual game there arent much video sequences where the playercharakter is shown! voila! thats the solution! at least i would try it this way!
on the other hand: there wouldnt be that procedure when using ingamegrafics instead of prerendered animations!
u have to ask ureselfe the question:
what do u (and all the others here) like to have more? better grafics in the cutscenes or a playercharacter that could be U?

I'd rather have a game that was as complete as it could be and not have character customisation, rather than a game missing something just so I had the feature of putting my face on the main character.

Admittedly I was never too fussed about their not being character customisation, plenty of games succeed without it.

If a sequel is made I hope they either leave the create a charcter thing out or at least let yot play as the rookie again. Because games where you do create characters I think the models always look lifeless and just bad in general.

tbh a “create a character” mod in the game or if there ever is another game is worthless, the rookie appears in a fraction of the cut scenes more for comedy factor in the game, throughout the game Venkman and the others make fun of you throughout and make it clear that your name and the fact that you're there isn't really important the most important thing is their presence which is right and makes for a funny back and fourth during the game. Plus create a character modes always end up meaning you lose alot of smoothness in the rendered cutscenes which always ends up looking horrible.

As for the pack i liked the visuals with the new weapons it was weird at first but it made for something cool to look at during the game plus you have to remember this is a game and it made much more sence for the packs to be used this way and show you new weapons.

just make thoughts on it (*peter)

Let's not forget that for the entire playthrough (not counting cutscenes), you only see the back of your character's head.

this man has a strong argument!
well it was just an idea with char-editor! well, maybe some one is comming up with a better idea every one is happy with! lets swap this for a while!but i thing u all dont get what i mean about the packs!
i do like how it looks and transforms, but i dont like how u get it: bling an there it is!
but the next time a little more gameplay use, please! becouse u were never realy forced to use the meson colider/ dark matter generator! the slimeblowler, ….o.k.! if the levels would have been made for more free experimentation for the progress through out the level, the slime mode would be more fun!
i mean, the whole use of the slime-mode was/is scripted! u have to do this or u have to do that to get through the level! but there was/is never a scnene were u could do this or that! this game has a cool physics-engine! but u can only get the lamp out of the water! why not buildeing sort of a bridge out of ….. whatever, or get the lamp out of the water?

Don't forget, you did use it to pull down the bridge in the Gozerian configuration of the New York Public Library, not to mention open the gate at Shandor Island, destory the Orrery (freeing the Sloar)… I think there's probably something else, but I've forgotten it.

It would've seen more use had it been “installed” for Times Square level, but unfortunately they decided to shift that upgrade to another part of the game.


I concur on the Meson Collider, though… I never really used it all that much, the Boson Dart was far more tempting.

yeah, i know, but this was all scripted!
i would like to play around with the physics a little more!
