Please give me money so that I can kickstart a kickstarter. I'll be making a game about explosions, sex, castles, fast cars, philosophy, machine guns, swords, puzzles, helicopters, neon lights, time travel, religion, space ships, dinosaurs, and jet packs.

Thank you!

Throw in Nazis and zombies and you've got yourself a deal.
And vampires. You want the twilight crowd.

And you must use outdated graphics. I recommend a 2D engine. It's a must for ks!

I'm not sold on this one. Nevertheless, it definitely looks better than your average kickstarter.

OK, here's what puzzles me.

In the previous "Rings" trilogy, they used trickery for the whole size-thing. Like a table/bench was actually a really weird shape so from the camera's perspective it LOOKED like a tall guy was sitting next to a hobbit... when it fact it was at an angle and just "shaped" to cancel out the shrinkage-at-a-distant so Frodo was sitting further from the camera. So instead of a rectangle bench... more like a triangle/rhombus thing. And if you looked at it from a slightly different angle, it looked really weird.

Or two people standing in a field and talking together... one is actually stand closer to the camera than the other, and they're both staring at nothing.

So... wouldn't stuff like that wreak HAVOC with a 3D camera? As I imagine they're still doing the think where they're filming through two lenses Xinches apart. Wouldn't all of that trickery look weird if you were a few inches (or whatever) from where you were supposed to be?

kanniball, the team used this little trick again. Yes, it even works with real 3d. You'll see.

Ummm The Hobbit wasn't a particularly long fucking book to begin with.

From what I've read they're folding in stuff from other sources like the Silmarilion.

I wish they could, but they are not allowed to touch anything from the Silmarillion. Christopher Tolkien (J.R.R.'s son) owns the rights to this and he HATES the LotR movies. Therefore, he said that he would NEVER allow Peter to use the Silmarillion.

Oh, and they've already shot both movies. There will be the usual reshoots, but that's it, and they're in postproduction, unless the suits decide to go ahead and let Peter shoot a movie to bridge the gap between Hobbit and LotR.

Peter's intent is not to "stretch" "The Hobbit" into three movies. He wants to base a third movie on the appendices to "Return of the King". They deal (not only) with the time between "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings". I like the idea.

I finished by purchasing Spaze Pirates & Zombies (or whatever.) Any opinions on that? Is it fun?

It's an okay little game, but quite repetitive.

Must... resist... the... urge... to... buy... MORE GAMES!

No, really, I think I can wait for Max Payne 3 and Skyrim to be sold for $20 or less. Actually, I got enough games now for the next couple of years.

Since the other Steam Thread is now off the main page: Can anybody hook me up with Dead Island which is not available in my region? My Steam id is "Hagbard Celine" and I'm a member of the Blue's News Group.

And thanks, guys, somebody helped me out. Thx, bud!

Wow. Just wow. Some of you guy supports ks with huge amounts. I applaud you for taking huge risks (unless $150 or 250 are peanuts to you). Since I don't believe ANY developer anymore, I won't support them with my money upfront but will definitely buy the game if they can deliver.

Looks like Spellbound's "Desperados", released back in 2001.

Well, nobody is expecting top-notch graphics. In fact this is far better looking than most of the KS backers were expecting.

This is a game all about the gameplay and the graphics take a backseat. He did raise a lot of money but not that much money to actually get real pretty graphics, this shows that the game will use good enough graphics to serve the gameplay and that's all I could want.

I know. It's a ks project, sure, but that does not mean it has to look like, well, Diablo III . There are a couple of indie games out there that do look better than this, and a good engine does not necessarily harm the quality of the gameplay.

ochzentay4, you get the same play time that the single player campaigns of Modern Warfare offer as an add-on (or dlc) for $10 or even less (e.g. Steam sale). I think that's fair, although of course not every add-on/dlc is worth it. And the FEZ guys WANTED to sell it on the xbox, they actually spat on the pc market. Check the news here from yesterday or two days ago. I don't pity the FEZ guys, they got what they asked for.
