It's like lego, but you can't make vehicles, only buildings.

Cel shading ages quite well. XIII and Dark Chronicle look presentable today.

What exactly is it, it looks like a gamepad with a trackball on one side.

On the topic of oddball controllers, the Novitech Falcon looks fairly decent and I'd consider getting one if I could try it out first.

The days of one guy being able to make an awesome game left us in the early 90s. We're now at some games having over 400 people on it at any given time. We're at even modestly graphics intensive games needing about a dozen.

Nope.avi

Love
Haven and Hearth
Minecraft
Penumbra
Cave Story
etc etc.

(look at how many cool UDK demos are out there being ignored because too few want to bother downloading a 400MB-1GB on something they know nothing about.)

Could you suggest some? I'm always up for trying experimental games.

Yeah, this is pretty good marketing. Well done Hi-Rez.

I'm busy with another game right now but if I wanted to get my 5 gaming friends to start a coop thing together I'd go for GA right now.

Maybe Blue should nominate him for the Seamus Mcnally prize.

A modern-day Warzone 2100?

That's how the description reads, the screenshots don't go quite as far.

I'll keep an eye on this.

Prez, that depends on how fun the base game is and how amusingly the christians react. I will probably be playing the non-gimmicky village building MMO Haven and Hearth instead.

If I start a game, I oblige myself to finish it, even though I have a mental list of about 7 games I still have to finish, I'm working on it. Yeah, it sometimes leads to me playing shite, but at least I can have a valid opinion of the game having played it to completion. Sometimes it leads to the discovery of hidden gems.

I can't comment on the PC version since I played it on the PS3 version, when I upgrade my PC at Christmas I'll be able to play the free copy that came with Metro 2033, but I found the game to be very fun indeed, repetitive yes, but I prefer to call something which is fun & repetitive "replayable". The good kind of repetition.

Plus that last level, damn, that's how you end a game. Only thing that could have improved that would have been better writing.

But yeah, an RFG action-rts. Played from 3rd person footsoldier perspective, designate building zones with some tool or other, some friendly workers get building it. Destroying enemy buildings (mmm, delicious destruction mechanics) and vehicles gets you resources. Some simple rotary menu that pauses the game for combat and strategy orders. The game already has complementary units for each faction, it's just missing the base building and order giving systems.

Imagine a modern day Battlezone!

What are you talking about wulfy, Guerilla was better than both the previous titles.

I thought RFG would work well as an action-RTS, like Battlezone with an expanding map like WZ2100. I imagine that this new url is for a multiplayer component like Crysis Wars or something, sadly.

AWESOME

I don't think GSC are the type to ruin a game for consoles. They put all their love into STALKER.

My post was not racist. I was saying that we need a game with a very strong message, even if that message is completely wrong, because war games in general have no message relating to war.

It's somewhat peculiar. The only way I've ever played it is with friends and VOIP.

A new Tie Fighter would be incredible. Bundle it with a value, SW-branded joystick for extra sales.
