Morgoth

EA trying to play catch-up Won't be long until Bioware will start making Battlefield games.

I died that often at Normal.

Yeah, let me get this straight: Kotor 2 was better than 1 NWN2 was better than 1 F:NV was better than 3 DSIII was better than 1+2 In before Volourn refuting everything.

Moooohhh.

I'm actually kinda glad Jordan Thomas is working on XCOM, that guy is simply put, a genius!

I guess if you're fed up with your job you want to retire earlier, however, if you're a cool guy like Fergus that owns his own game company I wouldn't want to retire until I drop dead.

XCOM stuff

They're probably just pimping DSIII. Or maybe they're hunting down new publisher contracts.

Low-poly characters aside, I really love this engine. It can render very atmosphereic landscapes. What wonders this could do in an Alien game...

Uhm, no? WASD for movement, your thumb is on the SPACE bar, and you have any other important key like switching stances, using abilities etc. in close proximity of your left hand. Basically, it's the same control scheme as almost every other RPG uses.

Gotham City Imposters trailer and screesnhots Normally I'm not so much into multiplayer, but I might make an exception for this since it's from Monolith....and friggin Batman!

How do we know that they don't? Its not like as if the E3 is over. If they haven't showed it yesterday already, they won't show it today or tomorrow either. Unless it's some "behind closed doors" only invitation thing.

I refuse to register at facebook so no Heroes of NW for me. The good news however is that Atari sold Cryptic for $50 million, so they now have chash for a proper game again. I bet Fergues already knocked on their door for some BG or IWD goodness...

I wonder if Obsidian will ever release a level editor for this. A fanmade BG Dark Alliance could be really cool.

So, we should buy this game out of a sense of piety now? The graphics aren't terrible, but certainly not AAA. Huh? It's easy. Don't like the game, go away and play something else.

whaaaa how did I miss that

Kids nowadays always want "more and better or else". It's because they never learned to be a bit humble. In other words, I agree with sorophx. Characters look good enough. Not groundbreaking, but not a distraction either. Well, except when Anjali switches to that blue naked chick...

Why is Ferg at the E3 if he doesn't exhibit a new game?

After playing the DS3 demo this just cries for a BG Dark Alliance 3. I will play everything that has Baldur's Gate on the box, even if it's in name only *fanboy* I'll be happy with a real BG sequel too, of course.

Woah, there's a glimpse of hope after all for the series not to suck completely.

So, I finished the demo yesterday night with Lucas. First thing that impressed me was how swell the engine runs and looks. This isn't some clunky NWN2 or AP, this is actually a well optimized engine, and it's even Obsidian's own. Looking forward from more titles using this tech. Gameplay wise, I wasn't exactly blown away, but I understand this is a Dungeon Siege sequel, so it works. UI is very easy to understand and very transparent, controls with mouse & keyboard work very fluid (don't know why people complain about this). Overall, very good stuff. Writing otoh is not exactly very stimulating, so far. Okay, it's just a demo, but this coming from George Ziets who wrote the brilliant MotB kinda left me a bit disappointed. Hope the full versions gets better in that department. The game seems to be quite linear, but I understand that an open world experience wouldn't work very well for that kind of game. Combat and pacing feels just right. Overall, not exactly the most ambitious ARPG I've played, but certainly very fun on it's own. Will buy.
