Black and White 2 :pleeeeeeeeeze have a sandbox mode.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

An easy to use sandbox mode, instead of that BWsurveyor crap and the like for BW1

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

BWsurveyor??

Ohma do you mean to make your own maps with yea??

Oh there's quite a bunch I'm looking forward to for this and the next year:

 

Gothic 3

NWN2

Bioshock

Age of Empires 3

F.E.A.R.

HL2: Aftermath

Fahrenheit and Dreamfall sound interesting too, though I've to wait for more infos/demos.

It's been a long time since I heard anything new about Gothic 3. Is there a good fan site for updates?

Well there's www.gothic3.de (which btw now offers two music samples), and then there's of course www.worldofgothic.de, the place where the devs occasionally drop in... it's not a large community, but still very loyal.

Oooooh *that's* what BWsurveyor did....

I was talking about a sandbox mode in general, which could very well include map editing (which would make sence because you were a god...), but mostly just a LARGE map with multiple tribes where you didn't have to worry about plot bashing you over the head...

Thanks. Very cute birdies.

Oh right i get you, i have got a feeling they will be adding a skirmish-type mode like there was in the first one, but it would only be battling against another god [or four ]. I think you may be able to shape the ground yourself in SP anyway, since you can cast volcanoes, which when set will form new rock, so will change it a little without a map editor.

 

But yeah, sounds great

Eh, not much in the pipeline that excites me.

 

Dragon Age

Oblivion

Gothic 3

NWN 2... maybe

Dragon Age

Oblivion

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

I forgot those two.

Probably because they're such a long way in the future. I'm interesting in PNJ, but I can't say I'm looking forward to it, as such. I don't know enough about it.

I suppose. But is Oblivion farther into the future than NWN2? I thought Oblivion was set to be released before NWN2.

Oblivion launches with the X360 this Fall.

I haven't followed its development much. Is it a XBox 360 exclusive like Jade Empire was for the XBox? Or is it on PC as well?

Really? (w00t) Wow, I take it back, then. I didn't realise they had announced that.

 

Oblivion will be on PC. Will the PC version also come out in the autumn?

Gee, where have we had that happen where the XBox version was released before the PC version? "

 

It better be coming out the same time on the PC since there is no way I'm getting an XBox 360 until atleast one price drop.

The PC version and XBox 360 version are supposed to launch at the same time.

 

And NCAA 2006 rocks.

If I knew a thing about college sports I'd probably pick up one of those football or basketball games.

 

As it is, I stick to the professional sports version of each.

Oddly enough the football simulation itself is different between NCAA and Madden. Madden this year has the "field of vision" feature that NCAA doesn't have, and NCAA has better pass defenses. I know NCAA added home field advantage meter, and the hit stick last year. I don't know if Madden has those.

 

NCAA also has a new feature where you do mini-games to establish a high school player, and then you get a dorm room for him in college and take him through his career, answering fan mail, the whole works.

Boohoo, I feel so unoriginal, but here we go:

 

Gothic 3

Fahrenheit

Oblivion

 

And only Fahrenheit is even visible on the horizon.. This will be a looong fall (autumn?).

PC and X360 console exclusive.

He was discussing the original Jade Empire which is on neither the PC or XBox 360. What are you talking about?

Read his question, genius.

 

Is it a XBox 360 exclusive like Jade Empire was for the XBox?

 

It == Oblivion

Oblivion was going to be on the PS3 but that's in doubt now.

Why is that? (Although I never heard it in development for the PS3 either)
