I kid.. I kid..

I'm more worried about QA given that this is BethCo. And their QA standards are non-existent. (Plus Todd's involvement = QA... Whats QA?)

Would you recommend impossible coop? If I got a gang of 4 players to try it out, all over the net, are we likely to have fun? Impossible is pretty damn hard, but still enjoyable. Its annoying that you get 1 hitted by Hybrids, nearly everything 1hits- but we manage. There's no death penalty so its n...

was playing Victoria II last week (ALL KNEEL BEFORE THE AUSTRALIAN EMPIRE!), now I'm playing System Shock 2 Impossible Co-op.

Kickstarter update: Kickstarter itself seems to really kick off. Besides the successful funding of the Double Fine Adventure, Takedown (formerly Hardcore tactical shooter) has been successfully funded (but only just, and I haven't participated in funding myself due to the terrible pitch. I don't ha...

yeah I finally solved that problem with SS2 as well.. So awesome playing it on a modern pc. The load times are next to nothing.

If you do co-op I highly recommend the Hamachi method. It was a shitload easier than port-forwarding.

ALSO HOLY NECRO THREAD BATMAN.

yeah Uni killed HDTP for me, and I had to leave New Vision and halt all other projects due to the opportunity to work in the industry as a QA. At the moment all my projects are on hold too due to studying game art.. Yeah fyi.. Game Art is no Mickey Mouse. I so fucking tired and its only the first te...

(which, incidentally, is apparentlyfor 'creative projects', and is not exclusively game-related) That's really the thing, for documentaries and for things that are designed purely to be community based projects it works brilliantly. Its more when you try to do it for profit that things get a bit tr...

As much as I'd like to think in the idealistic manner, and rest assured I want to, the fact of the matter is most of these pitches are being rushed for the sake of riding the popularity kickstarter has gotten since the Tim Schafer publicity. Its causing people to make some really poor choices in the...

That's why we describe this game as Minecraft meets Warcraft. Never wise to compare your game to other successful games before you've even started on it. Will Wright learned that the hard way. It's not necessarily a bad idea, it's common for film scripts to be sold on comparisons to previous films ...

But then again, it probably won't be funded. I'd say you're probably right about that, again the pitch comes across as mostly promises. The fact that its an mmo is even worse, MMOs are expensive and the staff required just to maintain the servers is too much. The idea is cool but why an MMO?! the d...

with LA Noire when Cole starts breaking down is when the game suddenly takes a turn for the worse- though the cases are still interesting, I feel like the character essentially becomes abandoned midway through the game. Whilst they could've done something really really deep, instead we're given "Col...

Funded with over 3.3M. Well, this better be Grim Fandango 2.

Damn right.

I was disapointed that the casual mode didn't play the game automatically :( Lack of Auto-pilot.. I am disapoint. Today's Casual gamer lacks the intelligence and time to bother playing a game, they just want to look at the screen and be told "YOU WIN". Bioware missed an opportunity. (Btw I'm being s...

I'm all about the cynicism. More the merrier IMO, Kickstarter at least from the role of the developer is all about Risk Management, if they can't do it.. then they're not very trustworthy. I'd just like to see for a change instead of a desperate plea for funding an actual "here's how we're going to...

In this case the purpose of the Kickstarter money is to prove to the investors/publishers that the project is worth funding. If successful then the bulk of the game's funding will come from more conventional sources, much like any other game. Supposedly if you pledge money and the project succeeds ...
