Epic President: What's the point of Next-Gen consoles? Kinda agree, actually. Pop in your iPhone 8 via Micro-HDMI into your big screen and play Gears of War 4. Okay, not that it is actually that easy, but still... There's still the "issue" of funding and creating higher fidelity art assets. Nobody really wants to have a dev team of 500 people working on a Next-Gen title. Call me humble, but I'm still amazed at how pretty pixels todays consoles can render. Bioshock Infinite, Gears 3, Heavy Rain, they all look gorgeous.

No it's not. Unlike Diablo 3, you don't need to be always online, unless you want to earn some Achievements. Otherwise, SC2 is perfectly playable offline via Guest login.

I knew that was coming even before LA Noire was released. I just knew it!

I think somebody who makes something in ZBrush/Maya should also know how to export it cleanly into the engine in a functioning manner. Can't be that much of a requirement for an artists working on vidya games.

You sir, are totally wrong!

I wasn't as exhilarated about SC2's campaign as I was back then over SC1's, but still, it's the best friggin' RTS since a long long time (and no, I don't play Total Bore series).

The US emerged as a winner out of the depression because of WW2. What will drag us out this time around? WW3, old-style Dune no-nuke policy warfare?

Oh look, another Alien invasion movie (The Darkest Hour) Seriously, I'm soon expecting Obama appearing at the National Press Club and announce Alien Hybrids are among us, and there is nothing we can do about it, except,

Bioware is Bioware is Bioware. In other words, nothing has changed.

I am glad to hear that. Having decided to forego the game in spite of thinking it would be a masterpiece (as Starcraft I was), it is, nonetheless, good to hear that perhaps I didn't miss all that much. Right, so Emperor said so, and you're already satisfied so easily? How about you get some more diverse opinions/reviews before you write off a game? Either way, SCII is superb (imho, of course).

Well that's no big surprise. QD planned to develop Infraworld many years ago (just right after Fahrenheit shipped) but had to cancel it because there was no publisher interest. Guess they got lucky this time around. Just don't expect anything gameplay heavy.

If you enjoyed Arkham Asylum, you should obviously look out for Arkham City, which is coming this October. Also Deus Ex: Human Revolution is coming this August.

Yeah but remember the US wouldn't have gotten so far in rocket engineering and the Space race without the help of the Germans...

You forgot Nazi UFOs. They were actually an Austrian invention (Viktor Schauberger), but I see your point about the Third Reich...

Rambo game coming You can't make that **** up!

Couple of low-res screenshots of PROMETHEUS Achtung! Spoilerish. The only thing that could get between me and the awesomeness that will be Prometheus is that Ridley Scott dies of a heart attack and the movie will be taken over by Uwe Boll.

People seriously want a sequel to this underwhelming and unremarkable game? Please.

Replaying the Starcraft 2 campaign until DX:HR comes out. Good fun, but you really need to play the first 20 missions or at the highest difficulty level to get that SC1 vibe.

Everyone who is pirating a Blizzard game is a disgusting POS and doesn't deserve to be part of the PC master race! Seriously, buy, or don't. It's really easy.

Well, on the positive side, they'll maybe patch in an offline-mode a year after release or so, when the game already sold a gazillion times.

Immigrants coming to the US are commited to become American citizens (unlike many immigrants who come to Europe...). That's by definition not multiculturism, but multi-ethnicy.

I disagree. I rather want Valve taking their time (Valvetime) and release a new HL that had the same impact as HL did in 1998 and HL2 did in 2004, than releasing just another upgrated HL2. Besides, one can hope they also have other new IPs in development.

There won't be a Ep3. They abandoned the Episodic model. We don't even know whether there's something HL related in development at all. Only thing we know is that Valve absolutely intends to make more HL games, but maybe not just right now.
