mkreku Posted May 27, 2010 Posted May 27, 2010 I'm pretty sure noone but me cares, but: http://www.joystiq.com/2010/05/27/new-driv...softs-e3-booth/ A new Driver game is on its way! It's basically open-world racing with missions and really cool cars. I loved the original Driver, missed Driver 2 (due to it only appearing on consoles), couldn't play Driver 3 because of all the bugs and loved Driver: Parallel Lines. I'm glad they haven't given up on the franchise. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

Whatever, color me interested.

Calax Posted May 28, 2010 Author Posted May 28, 2010 http://kotaku.com/5549865/china-rips-off-t...d-with-the-iped Looks like all that china manufacturing is creating competitors for Apple etc. A Chinese company rolled out with the "Iped" a tiny bit heavier than the Ipad and using slightly different parts/software, it's a complete knockoff.

funcroc Posted May 28, 2010 Posted May 28, 2010 http://kotaku.com/5549952/total-war-ditche...eturns-to-japan So, new Total War game is Shogun 2?
funcroc Posted May 28, 2010 Posted May 28, 2010 (edited) http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/sh...mp;postcount=64 The story is that this is the text of something sent to a gaming magazine by CA: Title: Shogun 2: Total War Edited May 28, 2010 by funcroc
Calax Posted May 28, 2010 Author Posted May 28, 2010 IIRC navy wasn't that big a deal in the Sengoku period. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Monte Carlo Posted May 28, 2010 Posted May 28, 2010 (edited) Medieval Japan and more mandatory Steam nonsense? No thanks. Never played Empires and I was a complete TW addict. I'd like to see them step up to the plate and make an early 20th century-into-WW1 game with cavalry, trench warfare, artillery silliness, very fragile airplanes, prototype tanks, conscription as a resource and all the rest of it. The visceral juxtaposition of 19th century infantry tactics with modern mechanised warfare. The ability to win WW1 then crush Russia or vice versa (how cool would it be to manage, as a Russian faction leader, 1917 and see which way it rolls, or as an enemy take out Lenin or inject him into the enemy?). anarchists and commies would replace priest agents, spreading ideology and causing unrest. This grognard says move the franchise forward, be exciting, amaze us. Don't re-hash an old game, they did that with M:TW2 and although it's fantastic doing it again is a bit... meh.

Morgoth Posted May 28, 2010 Posted May 28, 2010 To make a WW1 TW game happen, they'd have to change the complete TW formula, which personally I think is really about time... Rain makes everything better.
Calax Posted May 28, 2010 Author Posted May 28, 2010 To make a WW1 TW game happen, they'd have to change the complete TW formula, which personally I think is really about time... Hard part would be air combat. I think Shogun needed an update, or at least Asia needed to be revisited. Monte, you probably wouldn't like Empire. The actual battles got heavily simplified (line infantry spam + cannons = win), the campaign map had a few differences, but overall it seemed to loose something. Probably because Fortresses weren't as prevalent as previously, so taking a town seemed to amount more to "kill all the guys in there in a normal fight" than a siege.

Morgoth Posted May 29, 2010 Posted May 29, 2010 Well we knew for a while that Bio is working on a multiplayer game(s). They also opened a Customer Service Office in Ireland. Hope there will be some disclosure at E3. Rain makes everything better.
Nepenthe Posted May 30, 2010 Posted May 30, 2010 Mass Effect Going Multiplayer? Interesting. I've always assumed that Bio would tackle a Mass Effect MMORPG when the current trilogy and TOR are out of the way, but that post doesn't necessarily indicate a MMORPG. Mebbe somekind of campaign co-op play? *shiver* You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
mkreku Posted May 31, 2010 Posted May 31, 2010 Relatively new preview of Arcania: Gothic 4 http://pc.ign.com/articles/109/1090936p1.html It doesn't sound like a game I'm going to enjoy the way I enjoyed the harsh Gothic games of past, but it'll still be interesting to me, if only because of the open world, Gothic setting and RPG mechanics.

Morgoth Posted June 1, 2010 Posted June 1, 2010 Bigpoint takes over Radon Labs and announces Drakensang 3. I never found any of the Drakensang games appealing. They're so old school in a bad sense. Rain makes everything better.

They're so old school in a bad sense. I only played Drakensang's demo, but it seemed to me like the art direction was painfully bad, controls and graphics better than NWN2, and the combat system felt about as stale, without any info or tip inside the game to understand how it worked. I also heard that the sequel is much better however.

Calax Posted June 3, 2010 Author Posted June 3, 2010 TOTAL WAR NEWZ! It's shogun 2, but in order to compensate for the comparative size of japan to europe, they're setting it up so that you're running around as a bit of the merc http://kotaku.com/5554041/new-total-war-co...-for-the-orient Also, I think the dude stabbing the map in that is from Takeda given the clan symbol in the backround.
