Morgoth

Still no trailer there.

Screenshots showing landbattles. http://www.gamesradar.com/pc/empire-total-...822164625990074 The heck this looks amazing! What I really wonder is what kind of beast you need to run that game with adequate framerates, and how they manage to sell so many copies of the series with such steep hardware requirements.

I'm still not sold on the style of the setting though. Jumping around on these monotonic blocks and kicking some random police forces into the face isn't really that cool. Thinking of it, they should have made a humorous Kill Bill style action game with that sort of body control.

Yeah what am I arguing here about anyway? There's just not enough info released yet, so the best thing to do is to wait for gameplay movies/playable demo.

I hate it when I'm always being chased. When someone shoots at me, I don't want to hang in the middle of a rope, I want to pull out a gun and shoot faces!

I don't know...It surely looks "sporty", but I can't myself seeing to be motivated very long by jumping and climbing around...That sort of thing gets old really fast. I guess we have to wait and see how well the rest of the gameplay and story (!) turns out.

All great empires, except Austria (out of principle as it despised colonialism), even though it had a formidable Navy and access to the Adria (but probably blocked by the French to North Africa).

Doom and Gloom! Why did I even started that thread? Because I love teh internetz!

As long as it is scary and plays "smart" I'll be happy. Bioshock just didn't cut it, so I hope Dead Space will fill that hole.

Spare me the brownnosing, we all know about the atrocities they caused in Africa and India. I agree on the Navy though, that was traditionally the best, until they got scared of the Germans competing with them in early 20th century....Ya know how that ended.

http://www.shacknews.com/tag.x/Dead+Space New trailer and screenshots. Looks damn cool. I hope the game turns out to be something more than a mere corridor shooter though.

Yeah I don't get it why they wasted the talent on these underwhelming titles, they should have been working on Battle Realms 2 instead. Still, Argonauts looks sweet and I'm looking forward to it.

Hi! I like playing video games. You too?

And you make it sound like enslaving half the world makes an Empire "great".

Yeah by enslaving half the world it's not hard to be the biggest force in the world...

Like I care. And Bio only goes under when the world goes under, not any minute before! Bioshock had that silly online activation too, didn't bother me at all. They even released a tool where you can extend your activation counter.

I thought that means it allows you to install the game on 3 different machines. Whatever. I hardly replay a game that often. And besides, Bio stated before the fans would start to whine they'd just release a patch to undo that restriction, probably a few months after release.

Yeah, when Battle Realms was released I kept an eye on Liquid. And although War of the Ring and Dragonshard were "meh", I have the feeling that Argonauts has the potential to be a sleeper hit.

Huh? That's hardly an argument for me. Never had any issues with SecROM or DRM stuff. But then again, if I'd have played the 360 version already, I wouldn't get interested to play it on PC again.

http://www.bioware.com/ Yep, I sure as hell can't wait to piss off the galaxy with my Space-rowdy. I hope this port is better done and envokes more excitedness than the rather forgetable Jade Empire. Anyone here thinks that ME is mediocre/sucks and care to explain why?

I'm sure some Russky dev will make a Tactics sequel someday, they seem to be quite keen making that sort of stuff that was prevalent some 10 years ago (a'la JA3).

Was Empire Total War also presented at SGD?

Rush release? AP has been in development since March 2006. Far away from "rushing".

Thanks Todd for screwing up the prospect of having true Fallout music..

Click "Meanwhile, Alpha Protocol (PC, PS3, 360) is projected for a February 2009 release, firming up that "early 2009" estimate." I bet it gets postponed a few times, every time for a few months, just like NWN2. So that means November 2009 then.
