Inside The Booth

[CSN NewsBot]

Dutch site InsideGamer has put up a brief interview with Turtle Rock Studios' Mike Booth about Counter-Strike: Condition Zero. Relax, there's no explanation for the game's current MIA status, but there's this:

What are you going to do after CS: Condition Zero is released, are there any other projects that you will be helping on?



Turtle Rock is already hard at work on new features for CS/CZ which will be part of future Steam updates. We are also starting a new project of our own that we plan to publish via Steam.

New project? CS related? Who knows, but I'll just be glad if CS:CZ shows up any time soon. At any rate, check out the rest of the interview here.

Nice. Still would like an MIA update though.

[TorchedN00dle]

You and the world.

[Relica Religia]

Exactly.

New features

VALVe: Well, Turtle Rock, we just made CS:CZ gold. Soon thousands of loyal fans will enjoy your work. Why, think of them all, rescuing hostages, protecting VIPs, planting bombs...

Turtle Rock: Wait, what's this "planting bomb" shenanigans?

VALVe: You know, when the Terrorists plant the bomb?

Turtle Rock: ...?

VALVe: On all the de_ maps... you know.....

Turtle Rock: ... Oooooh yeah. That. Well, you see...

VALVe: ...

Turtle Rock: What? What??

VALVe: IT WENT F*CK!NG GOLD AND THERE'S NO BOMB?!?!? GOLD I SAY! GOLD!

Turtle Rock: ... Uh, don't worry! Only n00bs and the truly hardcore will buy this game. The truly hardcore will support CS no matter what, right? Right??

VALVe: Listening...

Turtle Rock: And for the n00bs, we'll release "de_" as a, get this, "New feature", through Steam!

VALVe: ... And you think the community will buy that?

Turtle Rock: Absolutely.

VALVe: Well, we just might dodge that bullet, eh? Or, you could say, the B-8-2 Kevlar might take it for us.

Turtle Rock: ...Kevlar?

VALVe: Sh!t.



In no way, shape, or form am I bashing VALVe or TRS. I just felt like writing a dialog.

Getting back to the interview...I thought it was good. Its something to tide meh over until the game actually comes out (hopefully before the end of this month).



...ya know...I've been thinking. It says in one of the interviews that they will have "deleted scenes" where you can play the ritual missions, ya know? WELL, they also said that the "deleted scenes" missions will have updated models. :) SO, wouldnt that mean if you wanted updated models, you could just snoop into the cz file directory and copy the "updated" models into your regular models folder? Why not? It could work. Well just a thought.
