Yes I remember that... they seemed to only choose like 1 out of however many people applied though.

That just makes saves not work after the next patch.

Yeah thats how (original) Quake 2 works, you can never update the engine again without breaking all previous saves!

TBH manual saves is something you need to be very carefully built in from the START, it would be extremely challenging to retro fit afterwards.

Which begs the question why they decided to ditch checkpoints building an old school shooter, when checkpoints were always listed as part of a problem in modern shooters.

I think they added checkpoints because of programming difficulties. Because of how unoptimized the game is and bug filled the second half is, it makes one wonder if it would be genuinely hard to add it or their programmers are untalented idiots that couldn't do it.

They could have done it if they decided from the start to do manual saving. Maybe they realised later that it's not that of a simple task or I don't know what. Technically manual saving is harder to code, but it's no excuse not to do it in a game like this. Especially when you can't do checkpoints right either.

There's no reason not to if memory snapshots are easier. That's how I thought they were all done anyway. I couldn't figure out why it was all the sudden this big incredibly difficult thing to achieve.

I'm totally guessing since I never programed with the Unreal Engine, but in a game like this couldn't they just make a group of variables that stored the position/status of the enemies/itens in the world? Doesn't seems hard at all. I must say I don't like the way they implemented the checkpoints, it divides the maps in many segments were you can't backtrack too much, but I'm still having fun with the game nonetheless.

Thanks for the suggestion. I wish that helped. I've updated my drivers and it still runs like a fat guy running up a hill - maybe that because I can't adjust the graphics setting properly (the launcher won't work) and entering my CD key comes back with an error. For me, Interceptor's debut has been a disaster.
