Pandora: First Contact - Impressions from RPS

Squeenix CEO may lose position over projected losses Note that they don't account for 3 million digital downloads in their projected report, even though that could easily make up a quarter of their sales.

Apparently, she has her own female-only crowd-funding site. So, considering her project is apparently violating several Kickstrater rules, here's how I imagine things may turn out: 1.) Project is cancelled by Kickstarter for blatant violations 2.) She wails to the many places she's been spamming that Kickstarter doesn't want girls to succeed 3.) She promotes her female-only crowd-funding site to counter the evils of Kickstarter and boys 4.) Her sons never call or visit for Christmas --- In other Kickstarter news, The Dark Triad: Dragon's Death Kickstarter was cancelled. Between Shroud, Torment, PAX, GDC, issues with NA/UK pledges, and flubbing the pitch, the dev team decided they needed to go over their material and give it a clean start. They've also apparently decided to reduce the planned scope of their map, and thus their required goal, to make the pitch more reasonable. For now, they're opening an IndieGoGo campaign.

Double Fine Adventure has a name: Broken Age --- Contrast sounds interesting

Planet Explorers A sci-fi Minecraft with the ability to construct vehicles as well Homeworld Kickstarter makes its goal The company that wants to buy the Homeworld IP in the final round of THQ IP auctions managed to pass its Kickstarter goal. They're promising refunds if they don't get the IP, but still not sure if I trust them with it. EDIT: The Big Blue Spiritual successor to Ecco the Dolphin, from the franchise's creator

For those who are wondering how it could be terrible: Deathwing had a hookah. That is all

Capcom announcements: DuckTales Remastered Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara

Banished A city-building game where the economy is focused on barter rather than cash. Ooh, I love me a good city-builder!

Hopefully they're limiting their roles to something more realistic for this many writers, i.e., splitting them up to write dialogue for various NPCs and companions.

I guess they realized with all the recent big-name indie and Kickstarter TB-RPGs that, yes, there is still a market for them. I can just imagine the boardroom now... "All right, turn-based RPGs are still making money; we need an in for the market. What IPs could we use?" "What about Heroes of Might and Magic?" "Brilliant! We'll call it... LORDS of Might and Magic!" "Wait... wasn't Might and Magic a turn-based RPG to begin with?" "...Huh?"

Full name annoucned, along with some details and a trailer: Might and Magic X Legacy

AMA on Reddit yesterday

Grimm Bros. Studio founded to produce dark fairy tale games Not exactly an original idea, but the proof's in the pudding.

Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition released on Steam Duke's greatest game with a few touch-ups to make it look more stylish than old.

The Dark Triad: Dragon's Death Isometric, turn-based, party-based cRPG - fairly traditional setting and story from appearances

EA's actually on the rebound from last year. Around summer, their stock dropped to the tweens for a while; it was $18 around this time last year, too. The combination of the SimCity launch and the CEO admitting the company wasn't meeting its targets hurt, hence the $1 drop on Monday. They probably waited until after trading stopped on Friday to avoid an even bigger drop.

Consortium Sounds like they're trying for the interactive depth of Deus Ex while using the Ultima "Avatar" concept. Could be interesting... RPS gives their impression of the game

Yeah, 6 was pretty awful in regards to that. I remember using the armor-training glitch to get my mage and cleric outfitted in shiny gold plate... Heh... And Levitation was so incredibly broken with a strong ranged team, especially end-game, since you could just fly up or down to dodge any attacks in Turn-Based.

Sorry, gonna insert some news into your discussion thread: Elder Scrolls Online playable for attendees at PAX East Remember Me devs had trouble with anti-heroine publishers

If you want to gripe about the game, please make a new thread; you've already used up an entire page in the news thread. Fez will launch on PC via Steam, May 1

That was one of the places Obsidian went pitching an idea; it is by no means the only one, but it's a large enough name it caught the most attention.

On a more cynical note, this might be one of the unannounced projects Ubisoft acquired when they picked up THQ Montreal. If that's the case, the game may have already been in the works and was simply rebranded with the M&M brand.
