mystery game.

I remember hearing about a game that cost in the thousands because it had a true fully destructible environment. Would anyone here happen to know what it was?

 

I'm tempted to put something here involving real life viewed as a game, but everything I think of is either heavy flame-bait, or in very poor taste (or both!)

So I'll just say no.

 

That Nvidia PhysX demo game? Where in order to how off PhysX everything is destructible?

The game was free too.

 

I know the new Red Faction game has lots of destruction, but I don't think that's what you are referencing.

 

A game that costs in the thousands? that seems a bit far fetch

 

I was thinking this too, so I subscribed waiting for the response.

 

There have been several games sold in the tens of thousands, but those are usually competition editions and classic Neo-Geo games (like Kizuna Encounter). Other than that, nothing like this, I don't believe.

 

Grand Theft Auto

 

There was something used for the military that was built using a 'game engine'. I'll try dig up some details.

This isn't it, but it's something along these lines (check the project page):

I think I may have found the game. Won't post a direct link here as the website has some NSFW content. Will post a " let me google that for you" link instead. It's the first search result on sankakucomplex.com

 

Dude.

That website is messed.

 

Harpoon 3 Pro costs just under $3000.

http://www.computerharpoon.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3&Itemid=58

"Price

$2,995 with 15 hours of e-mail/IM/forum-based support, good for one year and includes updates and maintenance. "

 

They have a free demo

 

Sort of---it's the free demo of the commercial ($50) version of the game, not the $2995 "Pro" version.

 

I know Red Faction Guerrilla has some INSANE destructible environments it doesn't cost major dough though.

 

I tried it and did not have the patients to really learn it.

 

So it's not the NES game I found?

 

Could be anything really...

I think it's probably an SDK/developer license thing... like back in the AGEIA PhysX days or Havok etc...?

Didnt licenses for the engines etc... cost alot?


Which may look like a game in the end?

 

That must be it.

 

http://virtualbattlespace.vbs2.com/ > that is the one I was thinking about, from Bohemia Interactive (Operation Flashpoint devs)

Plus it has destructible terrain, believe when it came out it was in excess of $2,000

The title is "The Tender Physics & Science of Explosive Materials". Also what is meant by "fully destructible environment"?

This NES game sure is a mystery though. Hardly any images of what the actual content contains.

 

Full Destructible Environment could mean many things, but in this context I'm thinking terrain deformation which is what Virtual Battlespace 2 (above) has (with the wealth of extra content).

Must have been editing my post as you posted.

 

PWND



Over in Japan, a super rare Famicom (NES) title has sold at auction for over ¥401,010, which converts to roughly $4,250. The title of said game is Kikenbutsu no Yasashii Butsuri to Kagaku, or “The Tender Physics & Science of Explosive Materials”. While it sounds like it could possibly be of eroge nature, it sadly is not. It was used in training for employees of Idemitsu Kosan Ltd.and developed by well known publisher Konami.

The auction began at ¥1,000 and quickly escalated to the final price of ¥401,010 with over 50 bids within the four days. Surprisingly, shipping is not included in the final price. With the game being confirmed as working by the seller without any images of the game in use, we do hope the buyer understand the risk they are taking.


So why the insane amount of money being paid for this particular title? Well, the game was never meant for public retail, and for one to show up in auction, it was to irresistable for collectors to pass out.


AND


The game in question is the fascinatingly titled 危険物のやさしい物理と科学 / Kikenbutsu no Yasashii Butsuri to Kagaku, or “The Tender Physics & Science of Explosive Materials”; as you might guess from the title, the game relates to handling volatile materials.

It was in fact a training tool (part of the “Space College” series) jointly developed between Konami and industrial end-user Idemitsu Kosan Ltd. (one of the world’s largest petroleum refiners) in 1990, and intended for employee educational use only.

Its rarity, and subsequent popularity with collectors, stems from the fact that is what is called a 非売品 / hibaihin, a game never offered for sale publically, of which there are a great many for the NES, ranging from normal games unreleased for some reason to training products such as this.

For NES maniacs, or possibly shrewdly speculating collectors, the game clearly represents an irresistible draw.



+REP used anymore?
I wonder why it's even still around... haha

 

Could you find any images from gameplay?

 

Do WANT!

 

just play a game under a $1,000. lots of them...stalker: clear sky or STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl

the game is very good, but i have read that on sky, if you have a high end rig, you will see things that you normal willl not notice, mostly the enviroment stuff and creatures

 

in for later

 

That game looks pretty cool but I don't think they are selling it.

 

I remember reading a PC game magazine in early 2000's. The article was about an upcoming FPS (if I recall correctly) saying that you could really destroy the environment (as an example you could really tear apart walls and not only 'scripted' sections). I do not remember the name... =(

 

Crysis on Very High with mods on an i7 and two ASUS MARS (Two GTX295's OC'ed sandwiched together)

That's as beautiful as it gets


Or HL2 when it first came out

 

OMG!!!!

I remember playing that game at a tattoo in the US I got to go in an actual humvee and shoot a gun (not real) at a big screen. It was an actual training game.
