Morgoth

It's using the Onyx engine, which is a 3D engine. So I suppose they use 3D but apply 2D toon shaders or what not to them to have a 2D look. What? Since when do you know the specifics of the engine so well that you can contradict an article with first-hand information and plenty of job posts? What the hell? Seriously? What are you at again? SP uses the Onyx engine, that's confirmed.

The lol standard. So, you think cotton/paper money is more worth? Based on what? You gotta explain this to me now, Krezzy.

Don't care about how many original IP they make. 3 original IPs from BioWare that are so alike and creatively bancrupt that it hardly counts.

I'm neither pro-DRM, nor anti-DRM. I'm just an avid PC gamer. Look at Batman AC or Anno 2070: They all have like 2-3 layers of DRM! So what? I like the games. If you only care about the DRM and not the game, you're not a PC gamer. That's actually what is killing PC gaming.

Bio exists longer than Obsidian. Let's see what Bio has released since 2004: Jade Empire, ME, ME2, DA, DA2, some ME/DA social crap. That new war game is likely a C&C reboot. It's like they don't even try to diversify their portfolio anymore. Bio has become too fixated on their core IPs. Not that I blame them on it, it's just nice to see that Obsidian chooses to have a broader latitude of franchises to work with. It's maybe popular among some age groups and whatnot, but that hardly makes it blockbuster a'la Star Wars or Avatar. I doubt THQ would grand Obsidian a $100 million budget for something that could easily get ignored by the masses.

No, not all. But a lot.

Why is that a "shame"? Obsidian maybe doesn't really want to work on these huge huge blockbuster franchises, or at least not all the time. At least they keep their portfolio diverse, unlike Bioware, which has just deteriorated into a ME/DA factory.

BioWare Empire expands again (aka another crappy Social games studio arquired).

On the official THQ site, they refer to the game as a role-playing adventure. Do we need to be worried now? This better has combat in it.

SP is just mostly stupid and catered towards American humor, but I'm still interested where they're trying to go with it, as a game. Non-Fantasy, non-Space Opera RPG is a welcoming change. When can we expect some solid infos?

I wonder how this is gonna translate into 3D. I mean they're talking about a AAA title, they hardly could make a 2D sidescroller with that in mind.

Played some more Batman AC. This game is really good, I mean I've rarely seen something so beautiful looking and polished for a long time. Combat is lots of fun and Catwomen has some of the sexiest animations I've ever seen. Joker actually manages to make me smile. Probably GOTY 2011.

I just threw up a little bit in my mouth, but I can understand that Obsidian is desperate for money...

December 10th Spike TV seems like a good time to announce something.

Make Guillotines, Wals. This soon will be a very fast growing business.

Anno series is the best city builder series evah! The recent Anno 2070 is really good. Try the demo.

Must be cool, to get permission from the wife first in order to buy a video game.

2 million British public workers on the strike Solution? Fire dem all!

1. Dismantle the corrupt finacial sector at the City of London 2. Start new and build a real economy 3. ??? 4. Profit PS: Might take a while though, but it's propably already too late anyways.

Dragon Age 3 to have multiplayer? Using Frostbite 2 engine?

I don't see how a weak currency is gonna help the people on medium and long term. Switzerland, Germany etc. always had hard currency policy and it paid off for them.

Pre-Production teams alway start smaller. Unless SE outsources the bulk of the game somewhere else.

Maybe we should open an extra "The embarrassing thread" then?
