Ok so I found some more (and more major) differences, but unfortunately I then got screwed hard! If anyone is playing the beta...the simple act of LOADING the disc into your 3do and starting it up wipes your Retail save...if you save in the beta, then put the retail disc in the 3DO, and then load th...

some more interesting observations about the beta...not many, as I have been pretty busy w/ work and the upcoming holiday 1) In the beginning (Matinicus Unbound is the level name I believe), in the beta, its only possible to achieve 87% of the map explored. When you get into the hunter maze areas, i...

Possibly...I do own Blade Force and it does run at a consistent frame rate. Even Space Hulk runs better than Killing Time, and thats fully textured.

Even if KT is one of my favorite games, the frame rate is still annoying

Cause its pretty hard to quickly explore a beta when the controls keep me bouncing into every damn wall around (friggen frame rate) You know what I always found interesting? It doesn't seem to have any impact on the frame rate when enemies appear! Last night I was wandering through the maze at the b...

I think, at the age when I had a 3DO, it was a game that just really hit me as a combination of perfect things : Soundtrack, gameplay, and story. So I love replaying it, especially now with ...

Just like OS X revisions...before OS X 10.0 they had OS 9.10.0

So between the beta (2.7) and retail (3.5) I would imagine SOMETHING fundamental changed...now if I could only find it

Odd its 3.5. Thats what http://www.toseciso.org had it listed as too, but I assumed it was a mistake So I wonder if the black disc version is actually 3.6? I always see it listed as 3.1, so either thats an error, or 3DO took an earlier (and less buggy) release client and pressed that for the mail-in...

Oh...and considering that the Black Mail-In disc is version 3.1, and the beta is 2.7, I would guess that the original red retail disc would be 3.0 or so (can't really find any data to back that up, other than my assumption that the game would have gone gold @ 3.0, and the black disc being the first ...

So far I have played through about 1/2 of the 2.7 beta Killing Time. Whatever the code changes are, it does not allow me to load my saved game from the Retail copy of Killing Time, so at least in that respect there must be enough fundamental difference between the beta and retail so that using saves...

what are the chances of you releasing the beta? I, for one, one love to check it out, especially given my fascination with Killing Time. Hell, as a filmmaker, I'd even be willing to upload some super in-depth comparison videos

and are you referring to the 3do version or the pc version?

Never really thought of that. I'll have to give it a go. On a side note, maybe people will find this interesting. I bet the Saturn / PS would have given Killing Time the processing boost to run at a decent frame rate. Wish this game came out...but I've searched and searched, and can't find anything ...

It runs faster on an emulator, yes...but its very crashy. Runs too fast...making it hard to control in the opposite direction

Don't start w/ the pc version. Its a totally different (and lesser) game. Music is the same, story is the same, and some textures are the same, but for the most part its an entire redesign of the 3DO version. The enemies in the 3DO version are much better than in the PC version in my opinion. They w...

I have never noticed a bit of difference between the red disc vs. the black mail in disc in regards to frame rate black disc was sent out to fix the random polygon error : if you were touching a wall when transitioning from one "level" to another, and / or quickly backed up into the previous "level"...
