The models look like they belong on a playstation 2.
Congratulations Rockstar for not supporting a platform that would compliment your game, instead you put it on 7yr old hardware that looks like shit.
I'm sure after you've reaped your sales by trying to force customers to buy it on xbox, you'll then double dip by pushing it out the door onto the PC crowd a year later.

Uhhh.. who exactly do you think I think I am, and who is this "we" that you speak of? Paranoid much?
Cool story, bro.

very nice interview. backed this easily. would have backed anything with tom hall in it, but brenda as well. wizardy 8 is one of my all time favourites. hopefully they'll get to do the two full games thing, I mean even if the kickstarter doesn't go that far they could still get to do that if the first game is a success. would probably be a better idea too to have the full team working on one and then the other game, but maybe that's how they intend to make that work anyway.

Really? You couldn't be more wrong on this count. And their resumes bear that out. They fall entirely into the category of lucky, not good. Nothing exists in a vacuum, without Ford, Edison, etc. we still would have had the car, light bulb, etc. sooner or later. And those people certainly did not create gaming, much less video gaming. Then again you would have actually have to gone to arcades and played PnP RPGs to know that.
I don't think anyone's saying they "created gaming", and having been at the right place at the right time most certainly contributed to their success. Doesn't change the fact that they created some STELLAR work over the past couple of decades. Did you actually play Anachronox?
Yeah I did and it wasn't anything great. Stellar work over the last 2 decades? Well, I'm sure they're legends in their own minds no doubt - much like yourself. That doesn't, however, make it so. The reality is they're - and you, if you are who we think you are - are more of a running joke at this point. But hey, you just keep on drinking the koolaid and believing how awesome you all are.

There is a lot of shameless and unabashed rudeness in this thread towards these people who are an integral part of gaming history and whose accomplishments are, like it or not, a large part of why this site exists and why YOU are a gamer.
Show some deserved respect or I'll 'make you my b*tch'â„¢.

edit: Madguy, do you mind me asking what you do or who you work for? Not trying to mess with you..serious question. None of my business either, but I am curious. Your post history seems to indicate to me that you work in the industry in some manner. I could be wrong of course, but it comes across that way.

"just prove they can actually get one good game out first"
WTF? Have you actually checked these guys resumes (Brenda and Tom)? I guess your idea of a good RPG is DAO2? Or Skyrim?
First post, eh? So are you Tom or Brenda? And yeah I've seen your resumes and they're nothing to brag about. And odds are I've been gaming longer than you've been alive. You wouldn't know a real RPG if you got smacked in the face with a D20. And that's precisely why I nor anyone else with any actual gaming history and experience will be contributing your garbage.

I've been permabanned from their forum today, for trolling. I guess that means their entire forum is now permabanned. In a way, I am happy, becuase I seriously needed that kick in the ass to confirm I've been wasting my time playing this game , albeit casually, since May 15th + 1 week for having to fix my blown CPU due to D3 beta and it's unoptimized CPU destroyer.
my problem, along with many others, is that we loved D1 and 2, and are FOOLING ourselves into thinking this game is anything like the previous iterations.
Good riddance Blizzard, I'm going to set my CE on fire and post it soon on reddit.
In the end, I am happy to have this wakeup call, I mean, in all honesty, their gameplay engine mechanics wise, was ok, it works as an arpg so to speak, the mindless clicking ...
but the buck stops there Mike. thanks for this historic moment, you fail. not me. you and your rigged AH, and I pity those to have spent real dollars on RHAH, to each their own with that though.
I'm off to play Path of exile, and praise those indie developers for trying to keep the real legacy of this genre, alive and well.
Their beta invite was sitting in my inbox for the longest time, I was a fool to have let that sit there all this time, until now.
Welcoming also TL2, but I know Runic games is now tainted with Blizzard's bribes to delay their game further on purpose, so I may have to ignore their game too.
money corrupts, and I knew this all along. #@%@# me to hell.

You mean like the oodles of extra content released completely free for UT3 PC users?
The only thankful thing about UT3 is they allowed you to bind it to Steam (only game EVER to do that IIRC).

By not releasing the PC version earlier, they're most certainly cutting down on a lot of day zero piracy. Yes, piracy does exist on consoles, but I'd guess that PC game piracy is much more rampant due to the fact that it's just a hell of a lot easier to pirate PC games. Modding your Xbox or Wii to run pirated software is a complicated enough process that I doubt most console gamers would actually attempt it. Ubisoft probably made the right decision for their bottom line by releasing the PC version later. You may feel slighted by that decision, but it's something we're going to see more of in the future, so may as well get used to it.
Exactly! Because Bioware had to do the exact same thing with Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age so they could make a bit of money in the piracy-choked PC market! Ohhhhhh......WAIT!!

I agree totally! To me, Raven today is one big joke. A studio that once made great games, is now just a big greedy one, which gives a rats ass about the games soul as long they earn lots of money. Compare for example Wolfenstein with Singularity...that is basically the same game. I can accept that the Singularity should have this story, but not Wolfenstein - where they forgot in totally to study the previous games storys, and it annoys me that they babbling about they made Wolfenstein in the same spirit as the previous ones. What a big lie ...

Missing? Oh, that it likely requires steam to play (even single player), that I'm guessing there will be issues with modders and scenario builders and steam content locks. You know, because they've just stated they are going to nickle and dime people on content with DLC, for civs even. Want to play your Bablyonian save game? Gotta be logged the fuck into steam to make sure its active.
