Please keep in mind that this is going to be ongoing until I feel I have searched through and played out the Beta for all it's worth. I haven't barely scratched the surface of the game yet. So expect new screenshots, etc. etc.

Circy may or may not make more comments, that's up to him really.

Sorry if some of the screenshots don't work, I'm having a hell of a time with TDC's server at the moment.


Graphics
===========
Shab - "The Graphics are the quality of early PSX/late SNES titles, and do the job quite well, though the club animation is a bit, out of place in my opinion." Some of those Background look a little odd (nowhere near as odd as those "trees" in Gunner 3 level 1). As always Gunner is well animated, as are his enemies.

Circy - "They are pretty nice. A bit moody and a slight improvisation on Gunner 3. The parallax scrolling makes the game jerky in this higher resolution. The character animations are very well done, clearly a lot of time has been spent on them, but as Shabatha said, the backgrounds tend to look a little odd and out of place." (Shabatha? - Shab)

Gameplay
========
Shab - "Gunner has changed, I can't quite put my finger on it, but the generalized feel of the game is different. It's a bit darker, and I tended to feel more vulnerable in this game, than I did in G3. It's not necessarily a bad thing though, just different.

One thing that I do not like is the new aiming system, hold up or down to switch the angle that G-dude is firing at, the only problem with this is that he aims up incredibly fast. My suggestion for the up/down aiming is to have the roll/pickup buton also act as an aimlock. Hold the button, press up, the angle will go up one notch. I also disliked having to hit down and that roll button to crouch, I think that should be switched to just pressing down."

Circy - "Ah, well. It seems to be a lot harder un-necessarily, simply because of the awful aiming system. Looking up and down is too quick. A system like Gobin Cram (by Duncan Fenn) would be better, as you could then aim up and down in increments. Love the ability to customise the controls. The engine is good and the enemy AI pretty purdy."

Presentation
============
Shab - "Top Notch, but what else did you expect?"

Circy - "Yes, very nice. Like Gunner 3, the menu selections have to be done by use of the mouse, which is a little niggle that I think should be addressed. Otherwise, very cool."

Image

Overall
=======
Shab - "While still an early version, this is shaping up to be great. Few niggles aside the engine is solid, the music is good, and the game is coming along. It's a shame that the final product will not be free, but from what I've seen, it should be worth it. Gunner Multiplayer, Gunner Multiplayer!!"

Circy - "What Shab said."

The aiming is really annoying, I found myself dead several times because he only tilted his gun upwards a little instead of completely upwards. I agaree with Circy's way of doing the aiming.
Also, I found it the lying down annoying for some reason. I also was kind of annoyed at how it didn't save my game. It was fun overall, though, and it kept me playing for a while.
If I can find some spare time this week, I should have a Gunner 4 preview on Klik-Me by next Sunday.

^^^ The man's got a point. Halo 2 was a big meh. Now if he said, "Gunner 4 is the Halo of click" then I'd be more likely to agree.

Nitpicking over metaphors aside, the game looks very impressive judging by the screenshots. I enjoyed the first game, and I like the darker style he's taking with this one.

I was one of the first to try the beta version, and it's much better than it looks (and it looks awesome already). I only had problems with the aiming system too, it'd make the game a bit less frustrating.

Some things KNPMaster let me know, if you hold up and left or right, it goes to a 45 degree angle.

Also, G4 will not have multiplayer; sorry for the confusion.

@Rapid - Make a folder called save in the G4 directory.

Aiming sucks a bit, but after you have trained using it, it is very good.

Sweet. I played the beta [I'm one of the testers who got it, yo XSheep, you know me. Liji, ditto.] , and it's really awesome. Good view Shab, and again, the game is just awesome. I have no problems with the aiming system, I think it's great. Btw, COOL weapons; So many: weapons, helmets, boots, armour and stuff... Its totally cool.
P.s.: sorry for the bad grammar, Im new here.
I think I gonna play the beta now. Adios!
