Lurked a lot on FoH and Rerolled. Glad to see the saga continues here. Regardless of whether mmorpg abuses and misuses the other site, it was a crap thing to sell it and not give everyone a heads up.

Was in the Mariott yesterday at e3 for some meetings and happened to end up next to Mcquaid. He had Pantheon up and running on his laptop and was doing meetings etc. I'd never imagine giving him a thin dime, but to his credit there was a game up and running the whole time.

Going to have to second P3 here. I've used most the other ones and it puts down a really smooth coat. The only brand I've had bad luck with is Armory Primer. Both a gray and a white, bought on separate dates were a bit "gloppy". As McQueen said what you are painting is relevant to the color. If...

The Deception series has always been a ton of fun, good to see it coming back. I still recall some elegant multi hit combo that ended with a guy getting launched into a fireplace and burning to death. Good times.

Unity is awesome as a dev tool. For the record, they are using the assets about as mundanely and badly as you possibly can. The time it would take to clean up some of those scenes is less than a day.

There seems to be an interesting world behind it all, but at the moment the quests are really badly surfaced (extremely poor UI etc.) They say they are fixing it. At the moment it is very easy to miss anything interesting about them.

Interrupting works up to a point. They have long recharges until you spec into them (at least the warrior kick did). I got a death grip style thing which functioned similarly which helped. There were also a few larger bosses that couldn't interrupted.

Yeah, I saw an posted a few times on the Dodge the Fire the Game thread. The people in favor are going to be the same people dying every 2 seconds in the endgame stuff. The shapes they use for some of the templates, even at around 15 or so are fairly insane, jagging things that spin like...

It is absolutely a gutted version of Hero. Friend of mine is one of the ADs and we spoke with them about their experiences with it when we were considering using Hero for one of our projects. The end result was us choosing to not use it (as it seemed like it needed a lot of gutting and wasn't...

Speaking from one person's point of view. The red light flashing is how amazingly poor the Unity demo/screens are after months. Our company uses Unity regularly and whips up pitches/demos which look better in days/2 weeks than this does with 2-3 people. I would've thought that would be an...

Actually, it's a lot closer than most think. We're currently running Xbox360 models with high res textures and normal maps on ipad3/4 with 0 reduction vs. the console versions at roughly 4x the pixel resolution at 30fps. Phone and tablet tech iterates yearly with massive jumps in both power...

Yeah, the info was straight from the Art Director that I spoke to at E3. MS tends to do foolish things like this pretty regularly (Shadowrun and couple other projects were Vista only). It likely has to do with the project being both Xbox and PC and needing connectivity. It's really too bad. it...

There is going to be a PC version of Spark. Win8 only though.

Nah, she wasn't a show girl, she was a member of the dev team, a bunch of other team members passed through the area and had a chat with her about game related stuff. I can't speak for GW2, but she definitely hadn't played Tera.

Got a chance to play the game at E3. The only place to see it was on a couple Alienware laptops at their booth. In the land of "how to present your upcoming AAA MMO poorly" this probably ranked near the top, which is probably part of the reason it received a few more negative comments than it...
