AGX-17 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Guys take a look at this introduction video to Elder Scrolls Online. What do you think? I think it looks amazing. But I am easily pleased so I wouldn't mind other more insightful opinions Eh. The only real hope is that they've got better writers than Bethesda Softworks proper. Which would not be a difficult thing to achieve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 The video for Elder Scrolls Online looked great. But really, their games always look great. I'm not sure what it is about ES games that keeps my interest for a dozen hours and then peters out, but maybe making it a more social experience will help with that. I'm not super excited about it, but I'll give it a try when it comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not super excited about it, but I'll give it a try when it comes out. I hear you, thats my view at the moment. I actually prefer single player games anyway with a bit of MP thrown in. But I will be keeping this game and the Neverwinter Nights MMO on my radar.

In the grim dorkness of the far future, there is only Total War... I really wouldn't like Relic and CA getting merged into one entitiy. Diversity is good, and I also don't want DoW3 to be like Total War. I prefer the smaller squad-based tactical gameplay over the huge strategic one.

Yes, they will probably fire a lot of people and we'll end up with half the amount of games and half the diversity. The ideal scenario is that the minds behind Homeworld gets fired/ leaves and does a Homeworld kickstarter, I guess. "Well, overkill is my middle name. And my last name.

The ideal scenario is that the minds behind Homeworld gets fired/ leaves and does a Homeworld kickstarter, I guess. No way there's gonna be mass layoffs. Relic is super busy with CoH2 and DoW3, Sega would be stupid to castrate such a cash cow. Homeworld + Kickstarter is a horrible idea. Homeworld deserves a big budget, decently staffed team and good marketing. Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relic is super busy with CoH2 and DoW3, Sega would be stupid to castrate such a cash cow. Never underestimate bureaucracy. Some deficits here and license trouble there, and you've got your layoffs. In addition to that, CoH2 and DoW3 might be rushed, or partially moved to other SEGA- controlled developers. There's a tendency of talent disappearing whenever similar corporate takeovers take place. Just look at all the companies who were bought by EA. I'm speaking strictly from what I know have happened in the past, not from what you or I would have done as the CEO of SEGA.

Morgoth Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) CoH2 is as good as finished and to be released in 2 months. Getting the WH40K liscense should be easy, Sega recently already acquired the Warhammer license so why not snatch 40K too? Your information is outdated Rostere.

Morgoth Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 This makes me very happy. There aren't really many RTS devs out there who understand their craft and profession so well as Relic. Losing them would have been a huge loss for gamers. Spare me your trite corporate logic please. There's more to the world than just hire and fire. 1 Rain makes everything better.

pmp10 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) Koch Media agreed to purchase Volition and Metro That came completely out of the blue. Volition and Saints Row were the biggest names THQ had to offer and they have gone to a euro publisher. Getting the WH40K liscense should be easy, Sega recently already acquired the Warhammer license so why not snatch 40K too? Because it won't come free. I have no idea what sega plans to do but they are already playing with fire with two PC-centric studios that failed their console transition.
