Savage 2 - Shapeshifter on Hellpeak

Savage 2 video from a game on the Hellpeak map. This is from the beta as of December 24, 2007.

My Savage 2 name is Mercenary.

I'm still tooling around to try to find the best settings for youtube. Hopefully the quality won't be too awful.

Savage 2 is an upcoming game by S2Games - it's going to be released on January 16, 2008. Their website is www.s2games.com

For Christmas 2007, anyone who signs up for a Savage 2 account (free) or already has an account will gain access to the beta (also free) which will last until the game is released.

I downloaded this game for the MAC and it runs great! I did have an issue with the Tutorial (couldnt finish.). The game itself fired right up on my MAC and I played a solid 2 hours with no crashes. IMO this is the best FREE game thats available for MAC, PC, or Linux owners.

@precast121 The advertising campaign failed miserably.

@JRPereira Do they not use adverts?

I payed the 7,75 euro for the game, that's nothing, glad to support a little...

@JRPereira Hm sad. I hadn't so much fun for a long while, although I die pretty often. Where is the problem with the playerbase? I realy start to love this kind of game style. greetz...

@cowboybeepbop1 Uh no. That's not what I meant by a community option - the community option would be completely open-sourcing the game and handing over hosting to them, which is not possible.

Also, the very fact that a free option is available (there are premium account upgrades and runes, but there's very few sales for those) makes it very difficult to support the game, as the ROI per user is almost nonexistant, and the cost per user is way too high.

@JRPereira by community option you mean free right if so then your way wrong just singed up and downloaded yesterday and i play for free so it looks like savage 2 is just going to hold on and die in the future but for now we play

[JRPereira]

@cowboybeepbop1 Nope. The game's bleeding money. Not enough prime accounts or runes are purchased to beat out the cost of hosting all of the servers and services required for the game to run.

Anyways, Savage 1 was turned to the community when it was made freeware, so costs are just about nil when it comes to that game. There are additional plans for the K2 engine and even Savage 2 itself, so the community option isn't available for Savage 2.
