An official demo of the much-waited-for RPG, Wizardry 8, has been released. The demo, a 150 MB file, is downloadable from the following location: http://www.3dgamers.com/games/wizardry8/ Give it a spin, guys, and see what you think. This should be a fantastic CRPG experience. Many of us have been waiting for this game for over nine years (since 1992).

It's not of the AD&D rules or universe (Forgotten Realms)...completely different system. The game plays a lot more like Might & Magic and Ultima rather than BG and IWD.

If it combines Might and Magic and Ultima then it can't possibly be bad.

I checked out the screen shots - they were very dark. I had to turn up the brightness & contrast of my monitor to eye-hurting levels to see anything. I hope this is not a true indication of visibility in the game. I HATE groping around in dense gloom all the time - sometimes is fine, but not ALL the time!

I think you can control that with the gamma settings, Fljotsdale. Typically, screenshots tend to be of rather poor quality.
I agree fully with you about the visibility factor. These old eyes aren't as young as they used to be! Cheers, ------------------ http://www.wizardrealm.com/images/saz1.gif Welcome to Ironworks...over 4100 happy members and one old buzzard! |

I had that problem with Battlespire, (from Bethesda). There were no instructions in the manual for turning up the gamma settings and I had no idea you even could (not heard of gamma settings even) but it annoyed me so much I mailed 'em and they told me how to do it. It wasn't an in-game function, either, they'd had lots of complaints apparantly - guess I am not the only idiot, lol! ------------------ http://www.angelfire.com/mi4/hclark50/flojs_14783.gif Here be Dragons!

Thank you Sazerac! I'm going to DL while I do my homework! ------------------ http://members.aol.com/lasttrueprincess/images/ltp4.gif The best thing about karma is that you create your own. Pets Need Love Too |
I don't dig it. I've been playing around with it for the last 30 min, and I hate the gui. Hopefully they will change stuff around before it goes gold.
