I think sometimes it's better to just leave these dinosaurs dead.

Blood Dragon almost makes me want to buy an FPS again. I'll see how it comes along. 

 

Great to hear that there will be another Batman game. I'm disappointed that Rocksteady isn't involved, but hopefully they are working on other exciting projects. The premise sounds good and it could be fun playing as Batman with less experience.

What are you talking about here kiddo, it's always fun to play as the goddamn Batman.

Yes, that is true. 

 

My main concern is that as the world becomes bigger, the game will be less driven by story and narrative and more by meaningless sidequests. I liked the sidequests in AC, because they played into some kind of storyline. I usually abhor collecting quests, but the Riddler quests kept my interest because they lead into a storyline of rescuing hostages and portrayed the dynamic between the two pretty well.

at first I was like "wha?!" but then I saw it was still a platformer and I went like "eew"

Not exactly a video game story, although it's associated with the Fallout series:

Flashback was one of the best platformers ever. The dialog was cringeworthy but if they recreate the game part faithfully then it's going to be worth picking up.

[sorophx]

I don't like the idea of a 3D Flashback. if I wanted to play platformer-Flashback, I'd launch my emulator, or, heck, take my Mega Drive 2 and plug the cartridge in. 

 

I'd be excited about a new Flashback game if it was something different. 3-rd person action-adventure or something... anything, just not a platformer

The pink shirt is gone. No deal.

Looks like Night Dive Studios know where those No One Lives Forever rights went...

 

Keep this up, and I'll call them the Adventurers of the Legal Limbo

AFAIK Avalanche has been working on their open-world Mad Max game from quite a while, so it's most likely them.

And thus, Skynet was born.  Hopefully it doesn't become self aware before Project Eternity comes out.

That leaked video of TES Online gameplay was weak. I knew they were gonna botch it up, but to botch it up like this really requires some motivation. Graphics worse than in AOC, that's something.

Bethesda has disappointed me in many ways over the years, but graphics have never been one of them.  A leaked video is really not something you should use to make judgement, there are a lot of reasons the graphics may look lackluster.

[Keyrock]

I saw the leaked TES Online video, which has since been removed, but I wasn't really paying much attention to graphics.  Obviously 20 minutes is far too short to make any sort of definitive judgement on any game, much less an MMO, but from that brief glimpse I thought it looked like a very standard, paint by numbers, run of the mill MMO.

Even is they add super shadows and shocking anti-aliasing, that won't change the models with 3 polygons on which things are drawn with textures, like in Orgrimmar giant ropes were not actually ropes on walls, but textures. Same thing here, but on player models. Wow, that's lame.

 

Their spells - waste of text. They could've taken things straight from TES games, but they chose to make it less imaginative than my toilet room.

 

Plus, like I said, graphics from the times of LA2.

 

I was expecting bad, but this blew me away.

Does Elder Scroll fan even want the MMO? I honestly don't know. The forums are busy today. I don't know if that's because of the leak had somewhat the same effect as Erik Dellums had on the Fallout forums/Nukapedia when he made his tweet, or not.

[LadyCrimson]

I think some ES fans are hoping the MMO will still give them ES-like gameplay, only with co-op, and are/were willing to give it a chance. I'm not one of them, but I'm not much of an ES fan, either.

 

Graphically, if anyone thought it would look even remotely like that trailer they released ... hahaha. Yeah, I knew that wasn't happening.

[babaganoosh13]

Most of my friends who do like TES all live in a similar place like me, where reasonably priced high speed isn't an option, so they naturally have practically no excitement for it. I just haven't been around anything to get a gauge for the excitement level. I've tried to like the games. I just can't seem to get into them. Love the Fallout's though, including 3. It's on Chad's weekly Nukapedia News Digest, but I've never really noticed anybody talking much about it in a positive stance in the comments. Usually neutral at best. More: Why is it here? I'm sure that will be interesting with the leak out. Heading over there now... Plus Saturday Polls goodness.

Why are the graphics so important to you?  Don't get me wrong, I thought the game looked lackluster too, but because it looked like it played just like most of the billion other MMOs out there, except with an Elder Scrolls coat of paint on it.
