Tigranes Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 Maybe it's the resolution but I found the interface to be terrible, especially the POP/goods icons which seem indistinguishable without considerable eyestrain.It Let's Play: Icewind Dale Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Icewind Dale II Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Divinity II (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG1 (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG2 (In Progress)
GreasyDogMeat Posted August 14, 2010 Posted August 14, 2010 That's why more licensable engines is a nice thing. Id Tech 5 engine no longer up for external licensing Damn jealous Bethesda/Zenimax dooming us to many more years of UE3. Maybe someone should buy them out As a big fan of id & their engines I'm very disapointed. That said, its not like there were a lot of licensees for their last engine. The only game not co/developed by id was Prey.
Morgoth Posted August 14, 2010 Posted August 14, 2010 Rage is on for September 2011 So late? I'm disappointed. Took them 7 years to make that bloody game... Rain makes everything better.

WorstUsernameEver Posted August 14, 2010 Posted August 14, 2010 Timeline trailer 8 Jedi Master Bastila Shan xDD Yeah she was such a paragon of wisdom and self control. She probably sweet talked her way to that rank. After all, she did have a pretty sexy voice.
Nepenthe Posted August 14, 2010 Posted August 14, 2010 Jedi Master Bastila Shan xDD Yeah she was such a paragon of wisdom and self control. All it takes is character level ~15. We all took her that far You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions

Purkake Posted August 14, 2010 Posted August 14, 2010 (edited) X-Com creator working on a 3DS turn-based tactical rpg(via GAF): Publishers run a mile from anything with turn-based mechanics - it is regarded as too niche. RTS games pretty much killed off turn-based strategy games in the mid-90s - but now even RTS games are regarded as niche. So all my experience working turn-based games from 1983-1997 is now somewhat obsolete, despite the success of X-Com. However, I am now working on a turn-based tactical RPG which will be a 3DS launch title. Thanks to 'Advance Wars', 'Fire Emblem' and 'Final Fantasy Tactics' it seems turn-based games are not totally dead - at least for Nintendo handhelds. I would also argue that Pokemon has a lot of parallels with X-Com in its game system, despite being classified as an 'RPG'. The core of Pokemon is a turn-based tactical battle enriched by a sophisticated higher level meta-game that allows players to experiment with many game elements and combinations of forces - and Pokemon is the second most successful game franchise in the world. If done right, would an X-Com game with a turn-based combat system be successful? Absolutely! Edited August 14, 2010 by Purkake
Gorth Posted August 15, 2010 Posted August 15, 2010 STALKER 2 is good news anyway. it is. Of course the announcement that Funcroc linked to said absolutely nothing about where it's headed next. One can always hope, at least for a while “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein

Morgoth Posted August 15, 2010 Posted August 15, 2010 I just stumbled over this game today, Spec Ops: The Line, and I like what I see. Normally I'm not so much into military shooters but the Dubai backdrop and the Apokalypse Now plot similarities stirred my interest. Hope this doesn't end up like Gears of War though. Rain makes everything better.
HoonDing Posted August 15, 2010 Posted August 15, 2010 Military shooter... Gears of War... lolwut? The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

HoonDing Posted August 15, 2010 Posted August 15, 2010 It's just that hiding behind indestructible bricks, waiting for your health to recharge, gives the wrong idea in a military shooter. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

It's funny how Apocalypse Now has become more famous than Heart of Darkness... "Well, overkill is my middle name. And my last name. And all of my other names as well!"
