Vektar On The 2.0 Firmware Nand

[GP2x = GP32]

Umm Vektar, i believe, is based on Grid Wars 1&2.

I think the one on the GP2X is really bad, due to the joystick. Try it for the PC, it is waaaaaay better.

No, I had never heard of Grid Wars. Looking at it, it appears to be a Geometry Wars clone.

I was certainly inspired by screen shots of Geometry Wars because I thought it looked cool, but since I never played that game I doubt the gameplay is the same.

I'm sorry you didn't enjoy Vektar, not every game appeals to everybody. Hopefully there are some games on the gp2x that you do enjoy. Maybe you'll like my next game better!

Its a great game. Quite addictive. It just needs mega addictive music like Geometry Wars. I have clocked in about 100 hours of Geometry wars on my 360 lol!

Grid Wars is a great game, I wish it ran a bit better at 1920x1200 though. :-(

Someone else has another version called Grid Assault at http://members.home.nl/wdw/, although I prefer Grid Wars, myself.

Vektar has a similar look, but in some ways I prefer its gameplay over the Geometry Wars 2 clones.

Funny... There has already been 2 recent threads that has drawn attention to this game

Edit:
Actually...
Can someone explain how Vektar plays.
I already figured that it couldn't play like Geometry Wars/Grid Wars since the GP2x doesn't have 2 sticks. I then figured it might be more like Smash TV - but thinking a bit more about it I figured that it was more of an astoroids control-scheme.

I don't actually have a GP2x, but I'm still curious

It didn't work when I tried it ... But now it works Awesome screenshots :blink: I especially like the various backgrounds and the distortion effects. Hope the vektar commercial release will feature the same type of eye candy
This said, Gridwars freezes on my pc so I'm not able to test it. I just had a quick look at the wavy grid effect during the first seconds

It has a typical 16-bit rotate and move scheme - which works really well, it also scrolls, infact I can't believe just how different gridwars and vektar are - i assumed they would be very similar!

It plays like Asteroids/Space Duel, whereas Geometry Wars and its clones play more like Robotron.

Vektar and the orinal Geomerty Wars: Retro Evolved are jsut so much better than grid wars. The control is grid wars is terrible without analog sticks.

 

[daclassicgamingmaster]

craig, is the new stick cap really REALLY good? better than daveC's?

just ordered one btw

 

[GP2x = GP32]

Im going to order Vektar so I may as well get one with that.

 

[PSyMastR]

Vektar was based off of someone playing around with the gp2x
Geometry Wars was based on someone playing around with the 360 to get the dual joysticks going.

Funny how they were both test runs and wound uo great.

I find it completely unplayable with dual sticks. I guess it depends on what you're used to.

You can get a dual analog controller for the PC. In fact, the XBox 360 one should do fine, quite a few people have given it a thumbs up as a PC gamepad.

I know. Thats why I have 2 wireless for the 360 and wired for the PC. . Thats how I know Grid Wars is terrible without them!

 

[Sonistar]

theres nothing like playing geo wars on the 360, its an amazing game, grid wars doesnt do it justice.

 

[GP2x = GP32]

I know. Its so addictive isnt it. Do you have XBL. if so whats your gamertag? Mine is:

The GP2x Master

LOL at ur gamertag, mines in my sig, ill add u in a sec

 

[GP2x = GP32]

Cool. I quite possibly have the Best Gamertag Ever! My brother keeps wanting to change it. I have told him to get his own but he cant be bothered. Also if its in Halo 2 its probably my brother who is like a chav of Xbox Live. If its a 360 game or something over than god damn Halo 2, such as full auto, or something like that its me.
