This would be an insta-buy for me if this ever appeared on GOG and the price was reasonable.
Killing enemies with the grenade launcher was so satisfying and the upgrade system itself was fun and interesting, forcing you to explore every inch of the map. I remember buying the original Xbox just to play this and Halo 1 and 2, back in 2005.
Although I´m more a singleplayer type of gamer I even loved the multiplayer demo, yeah right, I even played the demo for hours and oh boy was that fun using the grenade launcher after obtaining an upgrade point with the possibility to let it remotely explode with the press of the mouse button. Also the other weapons like the let u shoot like an electricity ball that dealt out area damage, a when upgraded fast loading shootgun an rocket launcher with a homing in missles similar to that in CoD4 to destroy tanks or like in Ace Combat. But skill won in the end. The vehicles had kind of bad controls like in Halo but were neat on some occasions.
You know it is the same guys that really developed Unreal Tournament, namely Digital Extremes when you played that multiplayer. The campaign wasn´t that memorable but ok. If you make the multiplayer playable again with the map editor I never tried then I´d hopp on board.
Sadly only the Xbox version had a coop-mode for the campaign.
I miss this game so much! Had one of the coolest and most accessible map creation tools for online and LAN play. Still have my retail copy, but this game really needs GOG's touch for preservation, as it's already a largely unknown title that has disappeared into obscurity. Please bring this game back!
I played it in game club and I like it, but because of bug cannot proceed further than second or third level... I actually wonder about this game around 2010-11 and firstly found some "clearly licensed" disks on which I can't spare money anyway at that time. From that time this game popping up time to time in my memory as ghost of unfinished business and there are still no way's to legally obtain it, because my PC now not even have disc drive and cost of them is even more prohibitive than it was back then...
Look's like good enough games will stay accessible only thankfully to pirats, unfortunately. Same with Freelancer for example which still have alive and kicking community unlike this game. And frustrating part is that many objectively worse games are still available digitally because they was a cashgrabs in a first place and sold without and changes as they was released something around 20 years ago. Not all of those are bad... But still.
I personally wanted to obtain this one legally, complete walkthrough and without gamebreaking bugs to judge myself if it's oblivion deserved at least. And at least some money I ready to spend for that.
P.S.: Somehow only now I catch that it was developed by Digital Extremes which developed Warframe which I played something around 20k+ hours before game became overwhelming for me... They have good ideas in this game which You can trace in Warframe. It can be even posible that there still developers which work on this one. Mean from my view it be even easier and real to cooperate for rerelease of Pariah.
I know Unreal 2 doesn't have the best reputation. And I get it, it's not a revolutionary game like its predecessor.
But it's a good game nonetheless, for anyone who likes old school shooters and can bear the occasional jank.
Pariah is just more of it, but still with it's own identity. I had plenty of fun with it.
It isn't available anywhere digitally and is certainly worth to be preserved.

Resident Evil Code: VeronicaResident Evil Code: Veronica is the fourth video game in Capcom's Resident Evil survival horror series. The game continues the survival horror gameplay of its predecessors: the protagonist explores the surroundings, fighting monsters and solving puzzles. However, it is the first game in the series to do away with pre-rendered backgrounds using a fully polygonal 3D engine instead, which allows for features such as real-time lighting and camera movement. Still, such movements are only used sparingly, and the use of perspective is mostly unchanged from earlier installments: the camera automatically switches to different static angles showing protagonists, monsters and rooms from different spooky viewpoints.Trending Action Horror Survival

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
