And in a double whammy it looks like there is going to be some fighting against used sales in the VERY near future. (also steam still rocks). Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition!

WorstUsernameEver Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 Apparently Jason Bergman (Bethesda Softworks senior producer, working on Fallout : New Vegas) heard that something cool is going to be announced at PAX, but is not from Bethesda. While I doubt it, I'm wondering if the fact that he works closely with Obsidian made him hear something about the next unannounced project..

What's funnier is that they actually hold the trademark for "droid" The droid (Motorola Android phones) specifically mention using it under license. Which I thought was bizarre when I saw the legal. I support enforcement of the trademark in this case, since it's using the Jedi name, but "levitating" is utter nonse. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Purkake Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 They also hassled a company making laser pointers that kind of looked like lightsabers.
Niten_Ryu Posted August 24, 2010 Posted August 24, 2010 Heh, Halo Reach got leaked... damn those PC pirates... I mean... Consoles don't have pirates right? http://kotaku.com/5620742/microsoft-is-rea...o-reach-pirates Let's play Alpha Protocol My misadventures on youtube.
Malcador Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 http://www.pcgamer.com/2010/08/25/elementa...stay-well-away/ So Elemental is a POS..apparently ? Wardell's "glad" comment is yet more garbage from PCG though, he's happy about people finding bugs. Gee, wonder why ? Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
Purkake Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 (edited) It looks pretty bad at the moment, but apparently Stardock has already released a patch and will probably continue releasing them. PCG has indeed been going down the drain for a while, even their podcast sucks now. Edited August 25, 2010 by Purkake

Tale Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 Doublebear's ZRPG has a real name - Dead State Ooh, I wonder where this game will rest on emergent v. scripted. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
WorstUsernameEver Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 The screenshots look awesome for an indie game, great attention to details. For anyone more interested on the design, there have been a lot of updates and in-depth discussions on the Iron Tower fora.
Starwars Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 I am sooo keen on playing that game. Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0
Purkake Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 Looks cool, but adding I don't think it warrants a whole new subgenre. Also Rock Paper Shotgun doesn't get nearly enough love, they have excellent PC and indie game articles.
Tale Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 (edited) Zombie RPG implies to me that you're playing as the Zombie. Now that could be a new subgenre. Edited August 25, 2010 by Tale "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Flouride Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 Hmh, Dead State sounds like an intresting game and the graphics are way better than I expected. Especially since isn't that the team working on that game like smaller than 10 people? Gotta wonder also, why hasn't there been any zombie rpgs before... Hate the living, love the dead.
WorstUsernameEver Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 Honestly, I can't see an AAA rpg designed like this one. It simply wouldn't appeal to many.

Flouride Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 Honestly, I can't see an AAA rpg designed like this one. It simply wouldn't appeal to many. Well not like that. But say like Fallout 3 with better mechanics, writing and c&c. Instant hit. Hate the living, love the dead.

But say like Fallout 3 with better mechanics, writing and c&c. Instant hit. It would still be an RPG without quest givers, stable settlements, an epic story, etc...
Oner Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 Wondering if you'll really be the leader in this game, not the errand boy every self-important ass in the shelter trying to please everyone. If Miss Universe 2010 demands 3 rations a day can I drag her whiny ass out in the field to help loot? Can I tell the whiny losers in the shelter to STFU, I'm the one going out getting myself killed to feed them who don't do anything? Time will tell.

Flouride Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 It would still be an RPG without quest givers, stable settlements, an epic story, etc... Umm and why? Why can't you have quest givers in a zrpg? Or settlements? It's not like you are the only survivor unless you want to make such a dumb design choice. Epic story... yeah well that could be tricky one. Unless you want it to be about a cure, but that would be total cliche Hate the living, love the dead.
Purkake Posted August 25, 2010 Posted August 25, 2010 Thankfully the zombie craze has mostly died down by now. We have had enough zombie things for a good long while now. Still looking forward to Dead State, though.

Unless you want it to be about a cure, but that would be total cliche "THE ONLY CURE IS DEATH AND FIRE!" you shout while walking down the corridors of your shelter, incinerating every so-called survivor you encounter. As the smell of burning meat and smoke rises you let out a laugh only a wo/man who has shed his sanity can, and raise your trusty pistol to your head.The infection will end today. *Roll credits* Giveaway list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DgyQFpOJvyNASt8A12ipyV_iwpLXg_yltGG5mffvSwo/edit?usp=sharing What is glass but tortured sand?Never forget!
