There's also this horrible Chris Priestley who shuts down any thread by the slightest notion of Bio criticism.

Thank you. Fooled myself. But take it as whatever it is. I'm still not buying DX as a full blown RPG.

The gameplay in DX wasn't revolved around Roleplaying. It was mission-based, not quest-based. And while there were some events where you could make a decision, it was hardly a real RPG. It was just that. A FPS with lots of options. But then again, in these days, so many functions are merging together. It won't really matter anymore whether a game is a FPS or an RPG or whatever, since all genres are capable to give us Roleplaying with choices & consequences. It's not a genere in itself anymore, but just another layer of gameplay mechanics. That in DX was so thin that I'd hardly call it an RPG. It was a FPS with a very thin layer of Roleplaying, how about that? Happy?

The point is, it still wasn't marketed as an RPG, nor had the developers intended to create a full blown RPG with DX.

Wow, glimpsing through this thread sometimes let me believe that we have incendiarists, murderers and vandals in these forums. It seems Overlord 2 must be really a good game then. :D

The layouts are similar, because they make the most sense? Character left, skill right. Duh. It fits nicely into the widescreen resolution.

No. But he wrote some characters from Kotor and Jade Empire. For the most part though, he was busy establishing the DA universe.

I doubt that old man is that ambitious to go through all this stress of forming a company.

The UT franchise died after UT99.

I'm not giving up without a fight. So let the zombie apocalypse coming!

Wow, those Codex folks really are a bunch of clueless idiots.

No Fallout 4 please. I'm sure after F:NV I'll be sick of Fallout. I'm all for a WoD RPG though.

Unreal was an unforgettable experience when it came out in 1998. But I wouldn't want to play it these days. Anyways... I hope we will see more stuff from Epic coming beyond Gears of War. A new IP for a nice change?

Yes yes, Gabe has often expressed that the Xbox 360 will be supported. But would you want to see Valve becoming a Xbox 360-only firm? Besides, they have Steam, so they're not in any need of getting bought out. Epic? They have a 10 years plan for Gears of Wars, exclusively with Microsoft. Where dou you see "switching distributors" there? Sorry, doesn't compute. I do seem to remember though that Mark Reign once mentioned MS would have to offer 2 billions to buy Epic. I think not even MS is that crazy. And why would they? MS is only interested in their own Xbox 360, buying Epic would alienate Unreal Engine for PS3/PC clients most certainly. Square-Enix isn't big enough to buy Activision-Blizzard. It's more like the other way around, but it seems Activision only cares about Guitar Hero, CoD and the WOW revenues.

The AI looks really bad in that video. You blew up a propane tank, and the guy in the next room had no idea anything wrong was happening. Towards the end, mike was in cover and someone was just standing there with his gun pointed at the cover. Enemies should actively try to flank you when you're in cover. The AI is no better and no worse than in any other action-based game. In fact, I think the AI works just fine for these gameplay purposes. I just hope that when playing non-god, Thorton goes relatively fast down if he wants to play rambo, and enemies won't go down that fast. But I suppose for demonstration purposes, Matthew played it on Easy.

Gamasutra interview with Pete Hines and John Carmack I think both pretty much made clear that they won't have any joint-adventure for future games. So no Doom Roleplaying game from Bethy, and no Elder Scrolls FPS from id.

I think we can assume that it'll use the F3 engine, as an expansion in a different engine would be very unusual.. Sort of Stalker --> Stalker: Clear Sky expansion. In that case, yes, it makes sense.

My guess is though that they can tweak the facial expressions better if they stick with one default face.

Sorry to wade just into this discussion, but has it been confirmed whether F:NV will use the F3 engine, or will it use Obsidian's own Onyx engine?

You wouldn't, by any chance, drop some liiitle tiny bit of extra information for us?

Of course it won't affect Bioware, you hysterical chickens. This merger just means that Mythic will run TOR on their servers, Bio provides the support. Probably, it's also cheaper for them to use the same infrastructure.

This probably only means that Bio Austin has access to the Mythic infrastructure. Meaning that TOR will be run by Mythic, but supported by Bio.
