Morgoth

Ah yes... NOLF2. Still one of my top favorite FPS. I still hope Monolith is going to make a sequel some day.

Europe is a great place...as long as you don't live in Central- or Eastern Europe.

PC? Checked. Single Player? Checked. Obsidian? Checked. Yep, it's on my must-have list.

A rather good documentary about WW1 with a lot of rare footage: The First World War - To Arms part 1/6 The First World War - To Arms part 2/6 The First World War - To Arms part 3/6 The First World War - To Arms part 4/6 The First World War - To Arms part 5/6 The First World War - To Arms part 6/6

I'm somewhat curious about this MoW mod, even though I always connect big city modules with clunky framerates and camera issues.

Oh well, false alarm, people. Click

Oh that's too sad indeed. I lost all of a sudden my interest on a possible NWX2...

Click From the concept art, it rather looks like it will be a prequel, perhaps during the construction of Rapture on the surface? Anyways, looks sweet and tyte.

Currently I've nothing on my gaming roaster, although I think of getting Stronghold 2. I had fond memories of the demo, but couldn't run it decently on my old hardware back then.

French, Austrian and Italian wine ftw! I once tried Greek, South-African and Spanish wines too, but wasn't very fond of these.

90% in Eurotasia? I blame the Russkies! But I wonder if Steamworks, which is for free, could change that. After all, every customer has to create an account that is then connected to Steam, thus Piracy should be an....impossibility? Every retail PC games should use it these days.

I think it's about time to announce one of the SEGA projects, anyway. There's too much of this unsettling silence around Obsidian lately. I thought it's a 120+ staff company already, they gotta start talking a bit more about games and stuff.

Interesting, I think I should check it out. The Gamespot review I thought was rather convincing, and I have nothing decent to play until Mass Effect, so... I just have to know how well the German translation was done. Is the disk multilingual? Edit: LOL I just found it on Steam, for a fair 20 bucks (14 Euro?). I think I'm willing to fork out that money....right now!

W-hat are you saying?

*looks at screenshots* I see angry faces in heavy gears, I see big guns, big war machines.... so I see nothing new, actually. Thanks for nothing again, move along.

Europe has constantly changed, and spiritual and cultural regions were always more important in reality, as opposed to national borders, or bloodlines. I don't get how diversity could make Europe weak - it's the unity within the diversion that makes it strong. However, diversity != cultural assimilation. Nobody's gonna force me to live after i.e. Chinese customs and relinquish my own just because people think that brings folks closer. No.

Well good luck for your future, Kosovans. Although the majority who wants to move on with life will emigrate anyway out of the Balkan.

So it's going to be another hold-my-hand FPS where I always have to give orders to my Marines where they walk, and when they step on Alien mash, they're gonna cry like babies "Oh Gawwwd Sir HELPP WAHHHHH SHOOT SHOOT WHAHHH WHAHHH". Great.

30 people for a DS game? I have seen teams half that big making full blown PC games....but hey.

After playing NOLF2 I would have believed you. But the latest Monolith game I played was called FEAR.. Now that's the exact opposite of diversity. GREY GREY GREY!! Well, I think diversity can mean many things. For me, it's certainly not jumping from a desert into a jungle into an office building into an underground parking area. And the colors in FEAR were properly. No crappy bright and colorful nonsense there, only beautiful Art direction, wherever I looked at (and yes, I actually did like the blocky structures too.... made the enemies look more like they stood out of the background). Though the coolest thing was the smart combat AI, the sound design, the fun combat, the slowly evolving plot, the nice audio logs. All these things that kept me enjoyed and concentrated until the last level. Something that so many other FPS creators (id, Epic, Gearbox) just don't get right. They can have better graphics and more level design diversity and more enemy diversity...it doesn't matter to me, these games still bore the crap out of me. Funny though that nobody ever complained about Thief's "diversity"...

I'm myself somewhat disappointed that Gearbox got the job. OpFor was certainly excellent, but all their other games were just "solid". Monolith on the other hand are masters in creating suspense, mood and diversity within the FPS context.

Demo first. My demands for RTS games have become higher these days. Building stuff and destroying stuff is not enough for me anymore, I also want talking heads and space princesses now.

Pandemic working (worked) on some LOTR game? Huh?

I think if you can run Gears of War and UT3 properly, you shouldn't have any problems with ME either.

Damn straight!
