How many good films have been completely serious? Serious is overrated. Especially if you go the ridiculus way. In gaming Heavy Rain is a recent example. At least be self aware about it.

This years Gamebanshee award loved Obsidian in the narrative category with AP scoring First and New Vegas second http://www.gamebanshee.com/editorials/1013...-year-2010.html

Unless it's a Hack n Slash, the amount of dialogue is important. But it's just not dialogue: But it IS a Hack n Slash if you didn't get the memo. The focus is on co-op and combat. Also F:NV is a bad example. There is more dialouge spoken than written. Which in turn wasn't that good for the game.

Was this posted yet? http://www.gamebanshee.com/editorials/1013...-year-2010.html Obsidian controls Gamebanshees writing awards for 2010.

YES!! Fable 2 is the only game I know that it is better playing alone than co-op. It seems Obsidian is doing the same with DS3. I can

A game with voiced PC will always have less dialogue then one that doesn't. IMO it's unnecessary, and diverts development budget from more important aspects of RPGs. Also 'voiced pc' and 'cinematic' are very much tied together, you can't have 'cinematic' without 'voiced pc' and 'voiced pc' leads to 'cinematic' design. When did Alvin become Associate Producer of Obsidian Entertainment? And in the case of an action focused game like Dungeon Siege 3 the amount of dialog isn't that important? We are not speaking about Torment here. Also no. I can turn your argument very much around and say that you CAN have a voiced pc without actually beeing cinematic. Thats a pretty meaningless analogy anyway, sorry. Ever heard of silent films. Are they not "cinematic"?

Another project with Multiplayer? Interesting.... Could it be the one Avellone is working on?

Maybe Square and Obs are ignoring IGN? Am I the only one that hopes that the 'cinematic' and 'voiced pc' fads die very very soon. "cinematic" I do since it is just there to undermine the narrative possibilities of games. The medium can't really evolve if it is just imitating another one. "voiced pc" is ok. Its a viable design choice and it suits an action oriented game with predefined charachters like DS3.

Nothing has been confirmed regarding multiplayer. The whole thing started because some idiot misquoted gamespot. And that particular example is more regarding couch co-op anyway.

yeah it seems to be. Though the guy who wrote about it here went way overboard on how negative the preview is. It's actually pretty positive and informative. I'm pretty sure I never said it was an negative preview. Well, let's say you had a way to show off the negative aspects.

Yo, works pretty great actually.

Thats probably the best written and most informative so far.

Yeah, apparently gaming jounalism has gone full retardo again as multiple sites on the internet post about the co-ops non xp capatibility. Even though nothing has been really confirmed regarding multiplayer options.

People that left the company (one of them bitter because they didn't even send him a promo copy of the game) are hardly Obsidz brass, Kaftan. I wouldn't say he was THAT bitter by it. But lets see. Who should one trust more? - Two ex Obsidian employees who own the company nothing. - Some anonymous guy who claims he was a obsidian employee and insults the company and the game right on release which probably both hurts sales and the image of the company. Therefore also damaging said companys employees which in turn also means his former team members he apparently speaks for? Yeah, I have a hard time choosing two and not be happy that the guy got kicked if he ever was really working for Obsidian.

Alexander Brandon Also not just him. Patrick Mills also defended Parker on SA http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthrea...mp;userid=19836

Wait what? Who's composing now?

G4TV preview "Hits head on every surface he can find*

Shotgun is also fun. Fastest is still Martial Arts though. By far.

Considering Multiplayer options aren't confirmed yet, thats... Then again GAF hates on everything.

German Website Golem.de has a video http://www.golem.de/1101/81060.html

Charachters look great for me and very high resolution. Whats the problem?

We'll have to see how it plays out.

Reads great so far!
