It's not trustworthy when anyone can buy it for $250K.

If someone doesn't realize, for example, that Rocksteady's not working on the next Batman game then that's one thing, but I think 16 years is probably long enough for even the most oblivious gamer to realize that something might be fishy.

As far as storyline goes, Total Annihilation is possibly the most generic game ever made since the 2600 era. I've said this about other brands before (Homeworld comes to mind), but I really, really don't see any benefit to obtaining the IP. Countless examples have shown that you can't copyright gameplay, and there can't possibly be anyone attached to the CORE vs. ARM storyline, at least not enough to wish that a company had spent $250K for the privilege of slapping the brand onto a game.

Really? That's surprising. Microsoft seems to think everyone around the worlds wants absolute HEAPS of shit in their new console.

Creston

Some responses on twitter land actually suggest just that.

Our favorite celebrity CliffyB:

Trust that fucking moron to gobble up Microsoft's shit by the shovel. Of course, Microsoft basically gave him his E-list celebrity, so perhaps he feels loyalty to them.

Creston

He seem to be going back and forth with his comments.
In one he rips the xbox like comparing it to the WiiU in other comments he says shit like what I've linked there.
He made his money with Microsoft he can afford to clown around I guess.

Thrilled it's doing well! Naturally they'd need to bring Michael and Power Glove back for any sequel!

Of course it's "based on" Far Cry 3, it's a total conversion mod. Some new models and textures, shuffle around the lighting palette, weapon behavior, and AI spawns, plus some shoestring-budget animation/voice-work for cutscenes (justified by the '80s computer game motif), and BAM, you have a new "downloadable title" that half a dozen guys whipped up in a few months. Even the map is the same, with all those icons representing where the various types of animals roam (now with futuristic glowing eyes!). You do the same side missions (kill this 'unique' animal with this particular weapon, etc.) and run around liberating outposts. At least the cyborg protagonist runs faster, jumps higher, and doesn't take fall damage.

All in all, I think I'd rather just go back and play vanilla FC3... So glad I didn't pay $15 for this.

Well, no wonder why I never heard of it, they only sold this for consoles... do you know if they ever ported it to the PC? Outside of Mario Bros, Sonic, or Lego Wii games, I don't do Consoles.

On a related off-topic note has anyone seen Dredd? Its fucking BRILLIANT. Now that is a great reboot, briliant cinematography (reminds me soo much of Blade Runner), gritty atmosphere and just the right mix of cliches and a very believable future and a proper villain. You know one that isnt EVIL for evil's sake like ala 50's cartoons.

I'd like to see a developer create a Jango/Boba Fett Bounty Hunter type game in the same vein as Jedi Outcast/Academy. You get bounties to take out good or bad targets and go through a story. Surprised that has never come around.

There was a steam thread where someone said they modified it (and provided screenshots) but the consensus was it only worked in the menus, and while playing the game.

PS4 not worth the cost, says Nvidia.

So says the loser...

Perhaps it's just me.. But stretch goals, especially as lofty as 6 times the original ask, is just absurd, when you haven't yet made a dent into the original ask.

Also... 700k to fund it, but MORE than double that, just to hand off a second copy to everyone... That 'math' is just insulting. Even if every backer doubled their donation, for, you know... A second copy, it wouldn't be enough...

Anyhow... G'luck ; )

As for video apps and stuff, IE only came to the 360 in the last two years and the rest are ok but I'm not paying for Live to get them. Every BluRay player, Smart TV and etc are doing that now, it's not going to remain a big deal for either console much longer. Even at $30x7 years of ownership you're talking an extra $210 on top of the console asking price. Sure it's not a large amount of money but when your competitors will do it for free, well *shrug*. They got away with it because the PS3 interface was so poor this gen, I'm not sure that will be true this time around. I'm surprised Netflix let them gate it in the first place, some money must have changed hands there.
