I love the idea behind the Sheriff and hope to see a number of other stragglers (or even small grouops of stragglers) in the game.

I sent HVS an e-mail about having an ingame economy where you are paid for clearing out towns, allowing youto purchase equipment upgrades. They either listened to me (or someone else), or they already had the idea. In either case, this is really good news.

One more idea on the scoring system. Instead of being docked money on the ammo, we should beleft to buy our own (unless the towns supply it for you). Ifyou run out, you should be forced to do some trivial, borring tasks to make enough money to buy some more as punishment forpoor planning (or be charged high prices for using thetown's ammunition).

It would be really cool if we could buy different types of bullets like you can in real life (i.e. frangible, non-expanding, expanding, as well as shape -- wadcutter (flat point), round nose, semi-pointed, pointed, and semi spitzer, etc). Some of my bullet terminalogy may be off as I'm not an expert, though I do have fun shooting at targets every once in a while (ok, I did yesterday for the first time in over a decade -- the assult rifle was amazing....).

Sounds really interesting.. the game already has more variation in early development than The Conduit does..

Hopefully that means The Conduit was mainly a focus for building their engine, and now they can actually start improving gameplay?

All i have really seen from the game so far is killing Vampires. That being said i havn't seen ALL the videos. I hope it isn't a flop like the Conduit!

How was The Conduit a flop? You have seen the vampires. HVS decided not to do the typical people with pointy teeth version.

I definitely agree. Each game needs its own death animations. The hand of death worked in The Conduit, it won't work here.

I defenetely sound great... and if the solo play is good I`ll get it, after all I do not do much multiplayer FPS online (do not like deathmatch and the likes. If I get to play for objective in a story with a friend that`ll be GREAT..) I`m sad thus by the fact that is another FPS, that even thus looks nice, I was expecting more of a less pointless bullets and runing around to more horror, story greatness... BTW: I do not see the "buying ammo" part in that article, that`ll be more survival in a lil sense ... thus I do not know how good would taht work in a high demanding FPS.. :?

The Conduitdid worse than most people expected...isn't that a flop? Yes i have seen the Vampires. What i basically said is i have seen too much Vampire! That is all i have seen them kill!

I'd like an area in which you're in a shopping mall trying to salvage supplies, and mannequins come out and attack you. All sorts, mind you - full body ones, ones with the torso only, like Silent Hill monsters, in a way, dragging themselves along the ground with their arms, heads flying at you like in Doom 3, that sort of things. I've always had a fear of mannequins. Everytime I go clothes shopping, I hate turning my back towards them; I feel as if they're watching me...

I totally misread that. I think The Conduit did about as well as people thought it would, perhaps slightly worse but not a whole lot worse and that's just reviews which are basically opinions anymore.

That would be cool, except for they'd be old western style stores instead of modern malls to fit in with the theme.

The article didn't mention it. I was expanding on an idea based on the reciept you get for clearing a town -- they subtract money for ammo. My idea is you should be able to pre-purchase ammo of your choice, but if you run out, you can find the local gun store and take ammo from it, but at a high price.

The one reason I want this game:

Encounters lone vampire. "Well, hello Edward Cullen. Do you want to see what happens to real vampires when they go in the sunlight?"
