Moatilliatta Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Get a better dictionary. Has anyone mentioned that Big Huge Games claims (since 2007 so it might have changed) to be making an RPG that will be released in 2009? It has the tag "A Ken Rolston design" ( lead designer on Morrowind and Oblivion), I'm not sure whether that is good or bad.

Zoma Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Add Lost Planet 2 in the list. The trailer looks orgasmicly sick! http://kotaku.com/5158575/lost-planet-2-the-trailer Plus, it has coop in the game and based on the selection of equipments that encourages teamwork play, like the mobile ballistic shield a player could use, and a multi guns mecha that can be seated for three persons. Looks like a game with bleeding potential for a great 3rd person action game, something Lost Planet fails to to acheive due to over simplicity of the gameplay system.
Musopticon? Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) And if it's as bloody hard as Lost Planet 1, then it's a must-have by far. Edit: Goddamn, Capcom knows how to do an announcement. Get this, they start by being really familiar with their player base, acknowledging them, then showing a good trailer and end up with a questionnaire small Q&A where the devs actually admit to listening to fan input. That's one great team there. Anyway, I'll add King's Bounty: Armored Princess to the list. Edited February 24, 2009 by Musopticon? kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

lollers Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Anyone want to start a betting pool on what will come first out of Duke Nukem Forever, The Broken Hourglass and TSLRP?
Amentep Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 Anything known about that BHG rpg? Not really; they haven't released any information - possibly because of THQ buying BHG. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Meh. Still looks too much like Squeenix's every other franchises. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
Llyranor Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Boohoo looks. The underlying turn-based combat system is actually pretty neat, and tries a lot of new and different concepts. As a design experiment, I think it succeeds. I'm not sure which part the demo takes place in, but it may or may not accurately depict the overall gameplay; the first few hours stick you in 'tutorial' mode. The game really picks up once you get more unions/leaders/units. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Is the protagonist a 14 year old boy with a ridiculously large sword? "Alright, I've been thinking.

Deraldin Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Is the protagonist a 14 year old boy with a ridiculously large sword? 18 year old boy with a reasonably sized sword? He's the guy on the boxart. Can't speak for any of the other characters though.
Llyranor Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 It's a gameplay game. The story is probably as horrible as Fallout 3's. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Deraldin Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) The Last Remnant PC demo (via NeoGAF) Biggest technical complaints here are 1-2 seconds of pop in time for textures to load fully after an area comes up and load times for the battles which take from 5-10 seconds. Not too bad, but they occur so frequently that they can really get annoying. It would be nice to see the game recognize what input method you are using and tailor to button prompts to that so you aren't constantly trying to figure out where they hell they've mapped right bumper to on the keyboard. Performance is great on my computer. Running it at 1920x1200 with everything on high and there was no noticeable slowdown. It's got about an hour or two of play time from what I saw depending on how quickly you rush through the demo. EDIT: Supposedly the button prompts will change depending on input. Maybe I'm just an idiot and missed something when I went over the control options. No mouse support for the menus is a disappointment though. Edited February 25, 2009 by Deraldin
