Peter Molyneux Reveals Masters of Albion [4:19 pm ET] – Share – 25 Comments
Peter Molyneux visited gamescom's opening ceremony to unveil Masters of
Albion, a new open world god game from the originator of the genre set in an
Albion
that isn't the setting of Fable for some reason. Molyneux introduces
the game and explains this is entirely self-funded in a
conversation with Geoff
Keighley. But lest we think too much has changed, the
World Premiere Trailer
certainly has a touch of the old Molyneux hype. Peter also says it's available
to wishlist now on Steam, but that is not yet the case. Acknowledging that some
of Peter's recent efforts under-delivered, there's another
interview on GamesIndustry.biz calling the game his (probably) "final shot
at redemption." Here's a bit from that on returning "home" to PC
development:
This notion of 'going home' extends to what Molyneux is trying to do with Masters of Albion. It is a fantasy god game where players build up a town that gets attacked at night, and the designer is revisiting features and concepts from some of his most famous games. There’s the 'defender' gameplay and the ability to possess characters from Dungeon Keeper, the open world and morality system of Black & White, and the humour, world and quest system of Fable.Continue here to read the full story.
"In Dungeon Keeper, we invented the possession mode but never exploited it, never explored it,” he explains. "This is why a lot of Nintendo games are great, because they are fantastic at coming up with a unique mechanic and exploiting it in a way that's just delightful.

Counter-Strike Bans New Keyboards [12:42 pm ET] – Share – 36 Comments
There's been a lot of discussion about whether keyboard technology called
Simultaneous
Opposing Cardinal Directions (SOCD) recently introduced by Razer and Wooting
is cheating or not. SOCD allows unprecedented multiple keypress control putting
pro-level advanced maneuvering techniques in the toolkit of ordinary gamers. Now
Valve checks in on the topic saying that automation via scripting or
hardware that circumvent core game skills is now banned, which includes such
keyboards with "input-automation" features:
Recently, some hardware features have blurred the line between manual input and automation, so we've decided to draw a clear line on what is or isn't acceptable in Counter-Strike.Continue here to read the full story.
We are no longer going to allow automation (via scripting or hardware) that circumvent these core skills and, moving forward, (and initially--exclusively on Valve Official Servers) players suspected of automating multiple player actions from a single game input may be kicked from their match.
To prevent accidental infractions, in-game binds that include more than one movement and/or attack actions will no longer work (e.g., null-binds and jump-throw binds).
