Love iD, but feels like they are trying to sound innovative about things that have been done a million times before in video games.

I've seen market, cross bows, cool explosions... but whatever, engine looks incredible. In-game art too.

Anyone else get a smile when EA bleeds talent and dollars?

This sounds very fishy. Not on part of the employee, on part of the company. I worked and have friends work as salaried workers in creative positions in huge corporations and they all share one thing in common... if they are asked to stay overtime they get paid for that overtime.

Often they are not asked to stay overtime, and can leave at the end of the workday, but they would not have as much work on the wall so to say. Most prefer to just simply leave, pulling maybe 1-5 days a month actually staying late to finish work.

With multi billion profits these companies are churning out, its time for devs to start class actioning one company after another. Trust me it wont take long before these parasitic executives fall in line (or fall off like vestigial limbs). Doesn't take much to start a non-profit lawyered up sue cannon organization that watches anonymously and strikes when appropriate.

Don't quit whining on blogs, the more the better, but don't forget direct action as well guys.

So i take i am the only one who doesn't like SC2. Cliché, bad gameplay, bad AI, bad story, does nothing new. Sign of getting old?

Maybe because i never was a fan of RTS games in ... ah well

Nah, i am the same way. I enjoyed the original for a few months when i was 17, and after trying this one it offers nothing new. Compared to some games that came later like Rise of Nations, its just too primitive.

I can see how younger crowd would have a lot of fun with this.

Mass Effect 2 was a great SHOOTER. Probably the best SHOOTER I have played all year. This game looks like it might be another good SHOOTER. I look forward to hearing more about this SHOOTER.

Oh come on. There was a good deal of RP in there too.

When is this economy gonna get back up on the horse? Or is it gonna run into the ground and get picked up by a regime change like it did in WW2 Germany?

I know its not a significant layoff, but its all over the place in the industry, like death by thousand cuts.

This is a concept inspired by World of Tanks. Its good i guess, they realize that the public attention span is only getting shorter, while eve in its current form is a game where you have to have a long attention span to do anything of significance.

I just sincerely hope they don't turn this into PvE heaven. Although that too would probably be what the mediocre masses demand.

Can you imagine pissing away one of the coolest and most promising franchises because you were too busy playing WoW?

Better have jetpacks, shrinker, freeze gun, and a pc release with sick multiplayer. Or fuck you and yours.

As a zany graphic designer and an altbro i detest this nerdy trend towards mouse gaming on my e-social platform of personal brand choice. Why would i waste my time in front of a computer when i can take it with me to a hip concert by a band that hasn't been formed yet and take epic historical photos.

PC is so yesterday along with its antisocial games. I am running apps on my mac(s) that haven't been written yet.

Mac users are too busy doing important work and having a life anyway.

I just have to say it's a tragedy that 3D-Realms lost this game (and themselves).

I have never seen the Doom 3 engine perform like it did with Prey and obviously DNF. They really did a good job. I really don't think words can express how true this is.

It's sad to see such talent go belly up.

Just think of all the steak and donuts George got to eat while developing it though. All the WoW he got to play... That ought to make you happy.

Seems scandalous as hell. I love it.

We should apply this logic retroactively. The Nazis in Wolfenstein will now be called "Cuddlebunnies".

This honors the surviving WW2 vets and their contribution to history.

Yeah and you don't see Germany going ape shit over that. They simply want to avoid FoX news reporter saying "youngsters training for Taliban in a video game simulation". This is the way things work in a militaristic neo-fascist society we have become.

Too much political correctness America. Grow some balls. Romans staged gladiatorial events involving Gauls after having war with them for longest of time, this is a mild and soft in comparison re-enactment stage of our time. Let it be what it is without the bullshit.

Can i like kill an old woman in this video? Or kick a baby? I want to do those things in a realistic simulation because i am a closet sociopath. I would like to realize my suspicions in the fun of wanton murder accompanied by hellish gore.

So Capcom still thinks it knows better than what customer wants? Thx, but i pass on this franchise again...

Unless it has EvE like lose all PVP... i am not interested.

What a wonderful little window into the beautiful soul of George.

That sounds awesome!
