Anyone heard anything in Angle Falls?
 

Is it canceled? I haven't heard anything in a very long time :disappoint:

As of today, Novalogic still hasn't taken down thier promo for Angel Falls.

I would guess that could mean that Nova may still be working toward a possible release sometime. But, considering that promo was posted on Novas' website 3 years ago, Nova may never finish or release Angel Falls.

I just hope that if (and when) Angel Falls is released, that it won't be as dissapointing as DFX:2.

Me too, I haven't heard anything

Well, I just hope that Novalogic make, at least, a Demo or Beta version of DF:AF
If not, I think that DF:X2 will be the last Nova game
But at least to me it doesn't disappoint me at all.

These are apparently AF screenshots extracted from the "future".

And it's probably that this page:

http://www.novahq.net/?show=maps&cmd...maps&game=dfaf

remains empty for at least two or six years..... I just only hope not.

PS sorry for my baad english

This is the latest thing I heard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Yp2LEIJ4dw

It's 6 months ago but it means they're still alive and working.

From a really good source I can tell you that they're in big crap financially (doesn't take a rocket scientist to work that out though), and that's really affecting whether the game's gonna come out or not. And by a really good source I don't mean this BS like "someone who knows someone who knows someone"... my source is "direct" (go figure).

I'd still like to see it come out though. Seems like it has a lot of potential. :)

to bad they can't go the way of war of warcraft with their combat style games

buy item in the store and server are free to play in beside all save item & stats are online not in a player system.

i know WOW is a monthly fee charge, but other are free to download and play, with out the extra charge. item store would be a great boost to them, one main game and add-in all the item to it.

i don't dig novaworld or novaworld2 forum at all, its still crap there

but i fear the mod part would be gone or added to make the game bigger with their ok.

i a gut feeling money wise they not doing so good on now days

I agree with you Chrispy, almost as if Nova wants to go ahead and their partner EA says no
but wait one moment, EA has made big bucks from their last few games, maybe they want to give Nova the flick, all Nova needs is a well cashed partner, and quick before AF goes of the boil,....wait and see

"M"

EA's still affiliated with Nova?!

Speaking of EA there were some weird rumour on NW2 about EA going to purchase Nova, that's fake.

I still think dfx2 is an improvement over bhd in some ways and in others not.:nerd:

lol Stomp....try getting the Grimace editor working in DFX2, I had enough trouble syncing up the lip movements to the .wav file in DFX1, I lasted 2 days, then fell of my chair...lol

then again the Grimace editor was built for BHD, pity they didn't stay with it!

"M"

I'm pretty sure Angel Falls would be an upgrade to the core game itself?
Therefore the core editor would have to stay?

Buyable weapons will be hotly contested and not make sense at all. Delta Op's get most of their equipment from the company.

About the only feasible items that would be interesting are graphical such as different skins, character... maybe special ammo such as AP and SP.

nova needs to hire some fresh people, and make the game a bit more like MW2 or far cry, but have exciting gameplay with vehicles, and some inspired mission making, because extreme 2's SP and graphics were terrible. i could have made better levels..

Making their game similar to those two crappy titles is probably the worst thing they could do. They do need to bring their graphics into the 21st century, but the biggest thing Nova had going for them was games ideal for squad gaming and objective based game play. Most of the FPS games today are just run 'n gun, might as well be playing Quake.

I do think that Battlefield has taken their place though with large maps, vehicles and great multiplayer structure. They're gonna need to break some kind of ground with AF to make it back into the spotlight.

I would certainly agree that the graphics need to be improved, but those 2 "crappy titles" ( and I see what you are saying) are far better than DF in terms of AI, weapon handling physics, bullet penetration and so on, the actual gameplay was not amazing as it was a run and gun, but the features of it are impressive.

imagine novalogic improved the AI so that they take cover, flank, throw grenades, call out to you for help or give covering fire(and are affected by it) take up dramatic poses against walls and storm buildings all (more or less, with a little hint or help from a mission editor) on their own, those are the features I dream about for DF.. but its unlikely

Yeah I totally agree, they need to do something that the top titles aren't doing at the moment, bring something new to the table.

In large text I have emphasized what "top games" aren't doing at the moment and Novalogic could bring to the table.

lol good fun....lol


"M"

Hah very true :D

they need to have a new outlook on their game totally and not trying to out do other games software with the same theme. get boring real fast.

me i would go the way of mad max theme in that line! no one has done it and you have all the crazy normal weapons to boot with the trucks, jeep, tanks, personal carrier, beside boats and planes. hell even a beat up old mail truck refortify with rockets going 140mph on a run down old highway.......go in a whole new theme

the world gone to hell type of theme

DF: 2037 hell

it don't even need to be a Scifi ether all the normal stander weapons to it.
=========
DF: angle Falls will i don't know that going to release it or fold up for good hate to see that happen.

I aggree with Obraino that Nova has to use a different look and feel with Angel Falls to avoid just looking like another release of DFX.

gotta say i agree aswell if they continuously do it its gonna get stale

gonna? you mean already is?

Past stale ... The DF series has been used and reused so many times ...

It's time for the next generation of Novalogic games ! If there is any ...

yup i agreed with that

You know you're in trouble when all of your fan base is screaming for new content and you stop listening.

EA bought a minority steak in NL back in the mid 90's, I havent heard that theyve sold out but I dont know for sure if the situation was changed. The impression I got from the execs at EA was that it was pretty much a deal to give NL the distribution network of EA and EA get paid via the steak in the games...

Best Monty Python sketch ever.

i guess DF:AF
is dead no then been said about it for a very long time now!

end of novalogic, inc

It looks like they changed the background on their site.. Could this be something from Angle Falls?? I hope so!

And the next generation editor (Mapping is key to the series survival?).

As one might say ....THE PARROT IS DEAD, DONE ...DECEASED, strange but true, just like Angel Falls, a real pity but thats life, the only way I'm gonna fly a V22 is on my old FS2004
that was a mod and built by an arab of questionable character.

Yeah, I aggree ! Imo, mappers add additional dimentions to the game , and can add an extended life on the game itself with new maps.

I don't believe DF:JO, DF:BHDTS, DFX & DFX2 would have lasted as long as they did without all the help from the mapping community.

Absolutely, considering the level of development in some current games.

I whole heartedly agree with the premise that fresh maps extended the longevity of the mentioned titles, and your awesome contributions have not gone unnoticed. (dave61 was instrumental in solving my physic mapping dilemas)

It would have been nice to see Nova release a new map once in a while... but being an avid supported since 1998, NL was never known for customer support. I have yet to convince myself to buy DFX2 if they can't seem to fix the stats of DFX in 18 months...
:wave:


AF would have to provide a new level of customer support for me to be interested in it.
