    Bet on a Blur video. They're the go-to guys for SOE, after making the DCUO they made this:http://vz3.blur.com/work/detail/planetside-2 They also made the Elder Scrolls Online video, the Dark Souls 2 video, Halo4, etc

    By releasing PS2 on PS4 and having EQN ready not too far behind, SOE will finally be pulling their weight with the console business. I can see PS2 coming at/near the PS4 launch and EQN coming a few months later. Both should greatly help drive sales of the machine. You buy a PS4, you get a...

    The game has to look good on PS4 so I'm not too worried about the visuals. They won't be targetting Intel HD Suxxorz.

    Don't like the painting, don't like the sketch. They probably should not have asked for someone to compete with Keith Parkinson anyway... yes, Parkinson made a Diablo2 painting

    I don't think they've talked about their composer yet. I wonder what Todd Masten's up to these days. His Vanguard soundtrack was extraordinary. That shit was ballers https://soundcloud.com/tmasten/bordinars-cleft https://soundcloud.com/tmasten/ahgram https://soundcloud.com/tmasten/khal...

    This is what I'm thinking right now. Let's say there's a huge desert in the game. Nobody wants it. It's a fucking desert. It's probably part of the "randomly generated" part of the world, which I would expect to be gigantic (with easy peasy instant travel). I buy the desert using...

    He's not even talking about Mistborn Trilogy #2 in there, so my _guess_ is the final tie up is going to be Mistborn trilogy #3. And the reason for that is

    Of course there's going to be player made dungeons. EQ2 was only the beta test for this. It's a safe bet that Next will go MUCH farther and allow players to script entire events. The question is how are they going to deliver that content. I bet it ain't "free" and SOE will collect as a...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    HOLY SHIT GUYS IT'S...it's...another trailer with no gameplay. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhH8S7oMfVA I HATE the lighting in this game. The lighting direction belongs at the beginning of the shaders generation, 2005-07. It's flat and uninteresting.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    In the broad "RPG" category, Skyrim is just below WOW & Pokemon in terms of sales. The single player Elder Scrolls series is in no long term danger.

    The big thread of game industry fuck ups

    Larry Probst is on a roll, EA is essentially shutting down most/all of their Facebook games including Sim City social which launched June 12 of last year. Total retreat from "social is the future". As a reminder, they paid$300Mto buy their way into that business a few years ago by purchasing...

    It was intentional, but they did not invent the concept of classes providing services; they took that from MUDs. They were removed to provide convenience to other players that did not have access to those important services like binds, corpse summons, teleports, etc.

    Today EA announced Battlefield 4 in front of a room full of journalists. With a 17 minutes SINGLE PLAYER sequence. Nothing on MP from what I understand. For the record as far as I'm concerned the single player campaign in BF3 commited the worst crime a video game can make: it was boring.
