She changed it to Obsidian now.

Read good books and don't take cues from videogames. Not even the ones with supposedly good writing! Just don't! Good luck!

You guys are fast with Dragon's Dogma. I don't think I'm anywhere near the endgame yet

No.

The main attraction for me is Mitsoda's writing. The design sounds good on paper, but there's plenty of time to screw it up in execution.

Well it's rare for developers to admit something is scripted, but that's the impression I got too. They're probably trying to implement similar features in the final game, but it's unlikely to look that impressive if it's non-scripted. I'd be glad to be proven wrong though!

The demo looks really good, but it also looks really staged so, who knows? The idea of hacking with your cellphone, including stuff like traffic lights, honestly isn't bad at all. It might not be risky or boldy, but you certainly can't deny it looks interesting.

He mentions Dark Souls but shows footage of Demon's Souls lulz.

This kind of stuff always happens though, and not only to Obsidian. Best not to take it to heart and move on.

Trust me, it's better this way. You would have wasted some precious time.

They were handed the joke on a silver plate, but still, it was funny. And yeah, if I didn't know better, I'd say they arranged the conference so they could be the standout. Everything else was extremely underwhelming.

Big Huge Games refugees get hired by Epic for new Epic Baltimore studio.

I found Magick Archer to be a slightly boring vocation, especially compared to the base Strider, and ended up abandoning it. Mystic Knight is.. honestly not so bad? Although I haven't really got used to using my magick shield's skills, it seems like a pain most of the time when I can just kill people quickly with my primary weapon.

It's not "screaming", it's moaning, let's call things with their name. And yeah, the trailer was full of terrible, unpleasant connotations. Granted, a lot of things can carry them (more often than not, unintentionally), but considering they put so much care at the reveal to present Lara as a non-sexualized character......... yeah. On top of that, I have the awkward feeling that the game will be a QTE-fest..

Really cool. Was quite a while that I wanted to see the game in action

Yeah, no force nonsense in my Star Wars. What.

Is there even any need to ask? It's a pretty blatant fake.

So.. vampires. And it looks like they're going for a more "integrated expansion" route, rather than a new landmass. Of course, they're also asking $15 so.. mmhh... we'll see? I fully expect virumor to start commenting on the vampire lore and how the trailer is inaccurate.

That's why I think too, but a bunch of people, like GameSpy for example, are reporting this as if it means they ditched Microsoft's service. There's no indication they did though.

Well, I guess since my character was based on Fallout and will be kept that way, I might as well just write them with that assumption.

Not sure why everyone is "OOOH AVAILABLE ON STEAM NEEEEEWS". We're at the point when not being available on Steam is effectively the exception, and there was really no indication Namco Bandai wouldn't pursue this road. Now, does this mean they will use Steamworks for the Steam release? Very doubtful if you ask me, but it's just an educated guess based on other similar releases (Arkham City and Arkham Asylum for example).

Okay?

Gaider was lead writer on Dragon Age II, not designer. He has his faults (the story wasn't good, though I don't know if there were also problems like lack of iteration in dialogue/script, cut sections etc.), but you can't really shoulder all the blame on him, and I say that as someone who's not the biggest fan of his work.

Not for sure, but the wording makes it sound like that to me, I see no reason why he should mention that they're working on a next-gen title otherwise.

I'm just glad that they signed a project. Not sure what Morgoth means, the info is fairly scarce, the only thing I get from that is that the game they're working on is targeting the next generations of consoles.
