Redux was developed using Unreal Engine 4, with almost all of the assets rebuilt from scratch in high definition and features a brand new, arcade-style Rampage mode, alongside a co-operative campaign. POSTAL Redux was released on May 20th 2016. Most notable are the re-inclusion of the Japanese Super POSTAL levels and modern mouse aiming controls similar to those seen in POSTAL Redux.
This brought about many improvements and "under the hood" changes. On November, 14th 2017, with the help from the POSTAL community, the game was updated to coincide with the game's 20th anniversary.
#Postal 4 engine update#
On October 5th, 2015, the game received a major update which implemented proper twin-stick controller support and support for widescreen monitors. However, this version removes the Multiplayer and the Level Editor. On March 21st, 2013, POSTAL was re-released on Steam with several updates allowing the game to be played on modern hardware, a higher resolution, and widescreen support. This included new lines for the Postal Dude and enemies, reskinned enemies into Santa Clauses, reskinned throwables into presents, and Reindeer Ostriches.
#Postal 4 engine Patch#
In December of 1997, a special patch was released to make POSTAL more christmasy. The player who gets more points at the end wins. They must kill the maximum amount of civilians in the quickest time as possible to earn points displayed on the top screen.
The team who captures the flag at least 3 times are victorious. Capture The Flag (CTF): Two teams (Green and Yellow) are placed in a random spot of the arena and must capture the flag of the enemy and bring it back to the marked spot that is randomly generated.The player who kills more wins at the end. Going Postal: The typical Deathmatch, 2 to 15 players kill each other on any map of the single player levels.Due to the very high amount of glitches and connection problems, the mode was very unpopular. The Game features a multiplayer mode for 15 players that can be played in LAN or the RWS server base. In addition to the Single Player Campaign, there is also a Challenge Mode (known as the Gauntlet) and a Level Editor where the players can edit existing realms. After killing a given percentage of hostiles in a level, the player must press F1 to move on to the next level. Throughout each level, weapon and health pickups can be collected that aid the player in combat. Basically, the goal is to survive against waves of enemies while killing/executing as many or as little bystanders as you like. One also has the ability to execute "downed" (a state of near death where the target is crawling on the ground after being shot a number of times) hostiles/civilians which is completely optional, holding no punishment or reward. There is no reward or punishment for killing civilians. In addition to hostiles, each map has a number of unarmed civilians that the player has the option of killing. Hostiles range from pistol wielding police, bomb throwing vigilantes, rifle toting SWAT teams, and rocket firing soldiers, among others. The main objective of each level is to kill a certain number of enemies, referred to as Hostiles. The game is an isometric shooter with levels set in 3/4 and top down perspectives. The Dude himself is shown lying in a padded cell, straight-jacket bound, suggesting he was truly insane all along.
#Postal 4 engine movie#
The ending movie features a doctor making a report on the Dude's psyche, commenting on the phenomena of "going postal" and how the stresses of modern life can drive one to madness. After passing out, he's presumably captured and incarcerated in a mental institution for study. He attempts to murder a group of elementary school students during recess, but realizes that his weapons are useless as the children are seemingly unaffected. The game ends with the Postal Dude experiencing some sort of psychotic episode. Capped off by the sudden eviction from his home, the Postal Dude believes himself to be the only sane man left and sets out to put an end to the madness in his town, which he believes originates from a local Air Force base. The plot of POSTAL is deliberately kept vague as to not distract from the gameplay.įrom what can be gathered through the original website, manual, and the game itself, an average man known only as the Postal Dude discovers that a mind-altering substance has been released onto the town of Paradise, infecting the populace with insanity and bloodlust.
