| If we can dispense with the usual hyperbole, I'd be curious to hear a dispassionate take from someone who's actively following and playing it. How has it been doing lately? |

Bot support should be mandatory for any serious MP title...but they prefer to lock a player down for online-only deal.
Because they can: MP titles largely sell to an audience of socially-minded gamers who want to play against human opponents, not bots. The investment isn't worth it.
It makes the games uninteresting to me (I don't care for playing with others and get my social interaction outside of games), but to say bots should be mandatory is entitled nonsense. |

Enh, I sorta kinda remember this one. Cult classic? That's stretching it a lot methinks.
Nah, it's a cult classic to me. Perhaps more so in Europe? I know it was decently popular here in Germany, and it's not that hard to see why: The combat was super clunky, but the adventuring was strong (adventures having never stopped being a strong genre here), as was the music, and it's not entirely unlike some German-made games such as the Gothic series.
Playing Outcast was a magical experience for me. In my two decades of playing video games, it definitely stands out as significant. I've got a number of friends who I feel would readily agree.
Now, on the topic of the HD remake, I'm definitely going to give them my money. It's not even a question. On the other hand, it's a bit sad these guys weren't successful enough they have to retread 16 years later, and I doubt this will make enough money to fund a real sequel. |

| I enjoyed this game back when I played it. It's terribly broken, almost all gameplay in there is as best 60% realized, so it's an odd collection of half-games. But had a ton of atmosphere, ambition was on display, the character animation was unusually good for the time, and overall I had the feeling of having come across a secret gem. |

Bah, I'm sad! I'm a big fan of the series (even through the hard times) and this will be the first TR I won't play shortly after release. I'm moving to Korea Feb 1st and it'll be at least a year of playing laptop nomad ...
But also like 7 trillion Gbps internet speeds!!
Gigabit up/down at home! But the international peering is crap, so that speed doesn't hold up past the country borders ... |

Not sure what to think. Spec Ops has aged really really well in my mind; the more I think back to it, partly prompted by reading new opinions about it, the more impressed I am. It's really a remarkable achievement. And it's a bit titilating that it was made in my hometown. 
So I definitely want to see more stuff by YAGER, but I was a bit disappointed when their next gig was going to be a Dead Island follow-up. Not going to cry any tears about this in that sense, but now I'm worried about their financial future. |

Yeah but ask yourself this, would you run an exe inside your browser? Because that's what it is at the end of the day.
No? This runs sandboxed in the "JS" engine, nothing changes in that regard. Your criticisms all apply equally to JS, and if you're saying JS is different, you're perhaps suggesting lower performance is a security model - it isn't. Your scenario for "breaking out of the sandbox" is bit overdramatic because it's not like WebAssembly runs on your CPU or can call system APIs. This isn't a Windows PE executable.
Ironically, Chrome has been shipping a sandbox that runs actual x86 machine code for years btw: NaCl. No browser vendor other than Google themselves decided to support it.
The one thing to be suspicious of is that bytecode isn't source code, but a lower form you can't easily reverse - but the same is true of minified JS already. Relying on readable source code for security in turn is security by obscurity, which doesn't work either. |

Because flash, java and silverlight wasn't bad enough, another shitty binary blob that will have access to system resources no web api should ever have.
Or better put, fuck WebAssembly and everyone peddling that insecure shit. IF Firefox actually enforces this without option I am going to change browsers...
As a counter-view: The web is really being held back in terms of performance/quality/security by its reliance on JavaScript, which is a pretty terrible language. Any attempt to get browsers to pick up support for a different language has failed. Right now the only way to deploy code written in another language is to compile it to JavaScript as an intermediary. This has been improved by deciding on the asm.js subset as a compiler and optimization target for JS engine implementors, but it's still pretty crummy. Having a bytecode format to target is a lot more reasonable. Not having to use JavaScript anymore would be pretty awesome. |

I can still see the yellow filter.
I liked it. Hate that the DC version removed it and dulled down the look of the game.
Video looks stunning. |

This is the best E3 since 2004! That being said, this trailer showcased the best graphics I've ever seen. This is the game that my PC upgrade is waiting for next year. Oh yeah!
I should maybe specify, the reason I'm not too wow'ed by the trailer yet is that one of the things I ended up loving about DX:HR was the design of the various civilian environs, textiles, etc. - the interior design/decoration of some of the buildings and the fashion worn by various characters was just incredibly rich. This trailer doesn't really confirm whether they kept that up, since the environments it shows off are a lot more same-y and muddled.
There's also some graphics things that irk me in there, e.g. the super-heavy ambient occlusion shadowing around Jensen as he takes cover behind that crate - I thought we were past that clumsy artifacting with naive SSAO now.
None of this really breaks the game, there's some stunning stuff in there too (e.g. those vistas of urban sprawl), and I'm willing to assume they'll tweak things further along with having much more in the game they're not showing yet.

| Something about Doom feels a bit off. The enemies stand around very statically at times. I like the minimalist HUD/UI, though. |
