Spore didn't help much there William. That was one of the biggest letdowns in the last 20 years. Hell, Peter Molyneux could learn a thing or two about how to over-hype and under-deliver from that "game".

The sad thing is that Spore looked really compelling in previews until they decided to pare it down to its barest elements to cater to a mass audience.

Not that this impacts me personally but I'll believe it when I see it, SimCity was a singleplayer offline experience too until 8 months before the release date they just reversed course.

I thought the Defiance pilot was ok, certainly much better than the dreck that is Orphan Black. The lead actress has chops but between the stereotypical flamboyant helper and the unlikable characters there is just no reason to watch it. The actual intrigue isn't very compelling either, cloning has been done better in other shows.

Defiance has its issues but at least its got some room to grow and the concept is interesting.

Ignore++.

Back on topic, list of improvements I'd like to see in a sequel:

- better level design for true ghosting
- More balanced mix of powers for non-lethal players
- Better texture work in general
- expansion of the setting
- More levels like the bridge and dinner party

oblivion isn't a perfect film, but i agree that it's underrated. if you're a scifi fan you owe it to yourself to watch it at some point. i'm as much a tom cruise hater as the next guy, but he does his role credit in this film. he's not all fiery intensity this time; he actually finds some small measure of subtlety to give peace to his character. and the scifi visuals are, at times, breathtaking. also the soundtrack is phenomenal. certainly it's nowhere near as bad as prometheus.

Tom Cruise may be a nutty Scientologist but hes also one hell of an actor who has taken a lot of risks in his career over the years. Like Keanu Reeves who is often the butt of internet jokes, Cruise is known for being very professional on set, has taken huge pay cuts just to make films happen and given bonuses to the crews. Unless people want all their stars to be media mavericks who rarely take chances like Will Smith then we're going to have to tolerate the odd behavior from many in the arts

I would get both (and have) as the sheer amount of game in GW1 with all packs can be had for almost nothing. You won't be busy for 8 months on Skyrim.....

Oh I don't know about that, many people on my Steam list are still going strong over a year later.

Its likely games with have to program sharing INTO their game, I doubt it will come with a universal Sharing system that requires zero game code.

It's a documented system library/API this time and Sony wants it in as many games as possible. Devs don't have to build up from the ground like they did with voice chat last gen in the PS3. It will require some modification but not much.

The way I figure though, if Sims 4 doesn't have a proper multiplayer feature, there's really no point to having it over Sims 3.

Haha dude no reason for concern, EA is going to find a way to make it only online, you'll have every shoe horned MP idea in there to justify it

Ugh, Google just warned me that some fucking cuntrag from China has been trying to hack my various Google accounts. How about we just cut China off from the fucking internet altogether? Then those fucking drooltards can hack each other to their hearts' content.

They just use other methods around the blocks unfortunately, many providers already have very stringent filtering for .cn/etc related traffic.

Yet another clone to pollute the market, it's time to move on Infinity Ward, this horse has died long time ago, no marketing magic can resurrect it with it's former glory.

Much like the rhythm genre it will be milked until it is a lifeless husk.

You guys should really stop responding to the troll, he does this in every Dishonored topic, it's obvious attention seeking behavior. Arguing logic and reason is pointless, it's over his head even if all of your points are spot on.

I hope they reconsider that, I don't want developers deciding what I can and can't stream to people. If you're going after that sort of twitch.tv player base then you can't get selective.

The F2P "whale player" business model is nothing new, Cryptic has been pulling that stuff for awhile now and even those little Korean MMOs did it years ago. Of course its a poor value, its literally designed to fleece idiots. Other F2P conventions include glorified gambling with those dumb randomized chests/keys and so on.

Parallax Abstraction wrote on May 5, 2013, 15:34:
Silicon Knights has like 5 employees left and has millions of dollars in debts owing from multiple lawsuits they've lost. That's why this is being done under "Precursor Games" instead. They're hoping by forming a new corporate entity, they can avoid all that. Denis Dyack is a horrible manager and based on some of his statements, it borderline unstable. I wouldn't touch a project he's involved in with a 10 foot pole. Assuming this gets funded, I fully expect it to be one of the epic level Kickstarter disasters that shakes people's faith in crowdfunding. I'd love to see a spiritual successor to Eternal Darkness but I don't think this can pull it off. Nintendo cracking the whip on SK is the only reason the first game even made it to market at all.

Yeah I tend to agree, no reason to back this given Dyacks history. I loved ED but people shouldn't give this guy any more money.

I've haven't gotten around to watching Firefly (it's in the Netflix queue), and frankly at this point there is no way it can live up to the hype so many people have given it. Which only increases my hesitation to watch it.

It has some issues but overall it's a pretty charming and engaging SF/western hybrid. Tune out the hype and just enjoy it.

Ah no. Borderlands is their flagship franchise, like Elder Scrolls/Fallout engine is what makes Bethesda. If everything else fails, they live on easily due to that.

Yeah, I'm personally tiring of Borderlands since it doesn't seem to evolve much but I know the gameplay formula resonates well with a lot of other people. I wish Gearbox would revisit Brothers in Arms or something else instead of taking on all of these problematic games from other companies.
