I'm really sick of cinematic trailers!

I came up with Crate 3.0 technology. 

Crate 4.0 - we shall just have to wait and see.

Down and out on the Solomani Rim
Now the Spinward Marches don't look so GRIM!

Agreed. They cost too much but are ineffective.

 

The reaction to the Deus Ex Human Revolution trailer tells me something else entirely...

Huh? I wasn't talking just about you, but rather, of this whole forum and a couple of other ones I stop by.

Cinematic trailers may be expensive but when they are done right they DO generate a lot of interest.

"We want to expand because, you look at what kids are playing on. Kids are playing on iPhones and iPads. The 3DS looks pretty amazing. All these platform options, we want to be touching on all those."

 

Bioware becomes kids friendly?

The 3DS looks pretty amazing.

 

WRPG dev finally seeing potential in portable platforms, this is only overdue by about... six years.

 

edit: that sonic game/thing doesn't count.

But they are still missing the point, that handhelds are not just for the kids... I bet this will spawn ****loads of ESRB rating 3 ubercrap games... and maybe in another 6 years they will finaly figure out the true potential of this platform...

Schafer: Double Fine working on four new, signed games

Answering a question on the matter after his speech, Schafer said some of the games were downloadable and some were for traditional retail.

 

The company lead said that splitting into a multi-project developer had resulted in

Tired Dev semi-officially debunked.

 

? People have different opinions of other people. :p

Tired dev could as well be someone who was very bitter at Parker because he was fired by him, just saying.

Not that I have any element to know whether his account is true or not.

Uh, more like that the biggest potential for growth isn't on the consoles. But hey, after a few rounds of quoting before it gets here, no wonder it's going to look sensational. :p

You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

The art director on Dragon Age 2 is the same guy who was the art director on Jade Empire. He worked somewhere else for a while then he came back. He's a fan of our stuff, but he also has his own ideas on how to take it.

 

This bodes well for DAII.

I welcome Bioware's efforts to broaden her portfolio. Smaller games made by smaller teams normally leads to more creative work. I wouldn't mind some hardcore WRPG for the 3DS.

more info about Double Fine's projects

Also key is that it moves Schafer to more to a general cross-team facilitator and people who were leads now step up to be project leads.

 

The four teams and their heads?

 

- Lee Petty, the Art Director on Brutal Legend. As such, the game

 

LOL... Did they not learned anything from Toyota, which definately sold unfinnished cars???

What's wrong with charging a smaller amount upfront and then having to pay for the parts if you like it? If it comes up to a normal game's cost and length you'll end up saving money if the game sucks, no?

 

It might lead to games being frontloaded, but that's pretty much the case anyway.

 

EDIT: This is assuming that all the parts of the game are completed at release.

Edited by Purkake

Maybe they ship a game without the exe file so that you have to pay extra for that. It would be hilarious.
