I wish

Here's the tech demo for those who didn't see it http://www.gametrailers.com/player.php?type=mov&id=10757 I dunno, I was hearing lots of praise for the photorealism, but it actually just looks pretty creepy. That 'almost human' look.

^_^

But that's no excuse to have crappy gameplay.

Urg, I dunno. I found the Persona battle systems pretty boring and repetitive. The 'You're NEXT' death messages were cool, though.

Here's part 2

Yoink

The stage show demonstration is available on Gamespot now http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/neverwinternights2/index.html Planning on releasing a beta of the toolset before game release. 60-70 terrain textures to paint maps with.

Simple words cannot describe the awesomeness of this game.

Great session, guys.

This is where the crowd went running to once the doors opened today. http://www.kotaku.com/gaming/top/e306-clip...pede-173469.php Sony booth to the left, Nintie to the right.

A general doesn't dance individual troops around.

Erm, CoD should mop the floor with MoH. Try the demo if you can.

His reasoning is sound, but not the conclusion. The focus on fast-paced twitch marginalizes strategy, and even tactics to a good extent. This, however, is a design issue, not one inherently linked with real-time.

This is near the Nintendo booth.

Yeah, there seems to be mixed feelings about the controller as a whole. That basically says that the controls aren't perfect yet. Rectifying this will be critical to the Wii's success. That being said, the Wii is the big winner at E3 for me. The 360 and PS3 haven't managed to make me even remotely interested in them. My concern with the Wii, other than the above paragraph, is third-party support re: core gamers. It's probably because it's too soon, but the third-party support seems a bit underwhelming. Namco does a horceracing game, Konami does a Pikmin-type game, Squenix does spin-offs. The only 'big' third-party title is Red Steel, and even that is somewhat underwhelming. The gun section is nice, but if the controls are worse than WASD/mouse mode, then 'immersion' means squat. The swordfight parts certainly look cool, but it's not even freeform. You have 8 directional attacks. Basically, the Wii is being made a variation of the mouse. It doesn't do anything the mouse can't. Yet. The 1st-party games sound awesome. Mario Galaxy, Zelda Twilight Princess would be must-buys for me. Yet, their use of the Wiimote is minimal at best. SSBB is my more anticipated game on the title by *far*, yet Wiimote use on it will simply be optional. 1st-party alone won't be able to save the Wii. It needs longer-lasting value. I am not a non-gamer. As cool as Tennis is, it isn't a system-seller. Where are the big titles? Give me a second Wiimote and give me two guns and just let me ravage everything on screen. No other controller allows me to do that. Halo2's dual-wielding will look like the joke it already is. Give me a second Wiimote and let me chop things up. I want to have an intense sword duel while fending off a multitude of cronies with my gun in my second hand. Make a survival horror. Give me a flashlight in one hand and a gun in the other. If the Wii is all about freeing up my hands, then LET ME make use of those hands. Don't just make the same games with 'different controls'. THEN that just sounds like a gimmick.

The thing, I probably *would* have gotten Vista if that functionality was available, since I'm planning to upgrade sometime soon, so might as well change OS. Now I could care less.

Awww, I was hoping they'd announce Vista's ability to play 360 games. It'd have made Vista more attractive for PC-only gamers, and been more financially sound, since the games themselves are where the profits come from.

You both lose the freaking internet because the question's not getting answered anyway.

Oooh, a devious plan.

Why are quoting that? The point remains. The Obs forums are irrelevant. NWN2forums are where you have the most chance of getting your voice heard.

Why would you demand answers in a thread Feargus isn't likely going to read, though? You could easily shake things up and make a big issue (well, bigger than here, anyway) out of it at the NWN2forums.

Hey, if the toolset didn't ship with the game, I wouldn't buy it until it got patched in. It's called common sense. Would I not whine about it, though? Well, I whined when the XBOX got KOTOR2 first I could have bought the XBOX version, though!!!

....... Best. Line-up. Ever.

Didn't I answer this already?
