So I guess Resident Evil and FPS don't mix, eh?

Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.

Shush. I was referring to the just released RE: Operation Raccoon City.

I wonder which designer will be the next to crawl out of oblivion to beg for alms.

 

People forget that we also had plenty of bad games back in the day when designers were left to their own devices with little or no corporate oversight.

И погибе Српски кнез Лазаре,
И његова сва изгибе војска, 
Седамдесет и седам иљада;
Све је свето и честито било
И миломе Богу приступачно.

Derek Smart, I say.

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

True. Better we bury this and just go for the publisher model, eliminate all alternatives. Especially the ones relying on people being generous... I mean yuck. Taking chances? That's disgusting.

 

No, thank god we have exciting projects like Baldurs Gate remakes.

I'm not against Kickstarter I'm just saying that at this point I question the sincerity and passion of some designers. Reappearing after a decade of unremarkable games with tall tales and a bucket load of promises smells suspiciously like taking advantage of our nostalgia.

 

Its like Metallica announcing they're going to make Master of Puppets 2 and they only need my money to make it work.

Molyneux. Would you bet against that?

Im probably just picking nits here but the Shadowrun kickstart states "for Apple & Android tablets and PCs" but then on the right side of the page under the pledge rewards section it states "A Digital Downloadable copy of the game, DRM free on PC + one totally sweet, exclusive desktop WALLPAPER for your PC, Mac, tablet or mobile device."

 

So is it definately coming to tablet?

DE: That's why, like always, it's up to the consumer/investor to be smart with his money and make sure the project is what he desires before investing/purchasing. Don't support garbage and you won't get garbage. Twitcher taught me that. R00fles!
