Ride a Mechanical Bull today?

Archive: 12 posts


Metal Gear Mechanical Bull

A wild ride GI style (metal gear lovers should like this bull) on a level that is dynamic in that it changes each time a player plays with players even being able to increase the difficulty by waiting to start the ride. Level is timed and the player develops a skill while having a blast. The objective is to make it to the finish with the highest score.

Additional Information: Nice prize available for no lives lost, being the Mechanical Bull itself, built by me but inspired by the awesome tank builder here on LBP known as Kratos-4. The more rides a player makes the more skill is developed and these players will discover little secrets to making it to the finish.

Joeyman, I played your Mechanical Bull level.

Pros:
1. A lot of fun, especially with more than one player, fighting over the bull, almost like a "king of the mountain" fight.
2. A good challenge. Really thought it was cool how you put so many obstacles in the road for the bull to churn over.

Cons:
1. If ya fall off the bull, in some places it's real hard to get back on. Would be cool if ya could attach the life ring to the bull somehow, so that if ya die in the fire or get smashed, you repsawn on the bull - instead of way back at the start.
2. Got stuck on one of the bridges..the bull wouldnt go forward or back.

Overall, a lot of fun and a good challenge. Was good for a laugh, especially when sackboy got crushed under the treads.

I hearted it and gave it a 4/5 score.

Thanks for the review. A couple folks have said that about the spawn point, or life ring. I am going to try that out and maybe get some more feedback from you and them.

Getting stuck, yeah the old bull gets stuck sometimes but I find it rare in my experience. Sometimes it gets hung on a big chunk of debris but I wait a few seconds and she will start chugging right back up and keep going.

Thank so much for the review and the tips. I will post again when I get her updated.

I cant wait to get to savor your level. So far it is awesome looking.

Oh and wanted to add for anyone reading the review and wanting to give it a whirl, I put up a training level for folks who want to practice a little before giving the real thing a go

Wow! Level looks to have come a long way! I'll make sure to play it again if I get a chance. Also, I have a level in the Projects Forum. Think you could give it a spin? It is nowhere near done yet though. There is a pass word system, so see the topic if you are interested! I take it the level is more of the "stay on the bull, race to the end and collect points" rather than "stay alive as long as you can and collect points" type? Looks really cool.

Btw, have you seen Gilgamesh's "Infinite Level Technology" Object showcase thread? If you could use this, you could make it a "stay alive as long as possible" type of level.

Also, THAT is what I meant about the visuals needing to look more realistic, gj. lol@ the Bulls tail!

No its stay alive as long as you can while collecting points. Its much different that when you last played it. I wish it would have been filmed completely. What is the name of your level and I will check it out?2009-03-17 10:31:00
