EA starting shortly, btw.

Anyone else notice that a lot of the buildings don't have loading screen doors on them? Is it possible Bethesda's going to finally create a single seamless world space?

Interesting that the player character in those new shots is dressed like the king from the trailer. Giving a hint to the story?

Gotta give MS credit, they did good this time around.

Huh. They *are* making something, and it actually looks kinda neat.

Oh, is Rare actually making something? Edit: nope, false alarm.

Dark souls 3. Fuck yes.

Looks like stats are still there, but skills may be gone; so an odd reversal of what they did with Skyrim.

Holy shit, console mods. That's a game changer.

Yeah, need to give MS kudos on that one.

Microsoft's press conference is starting.

Jesus fuck; they start talking about mobile games, so I leave for a moment to take the dog outside, and come back to settlement building and insane crafting. What doesn't this fucking game have?

I'm more of an Elder Scrolls guy than I am a Fallout guy, but that did look pretty awesome.

Think it's the empress's daughter from the first game, iirc.

Bethesda's live stream is starting.

Smash bros live stream just confirmed Roy and Ryu for Smash.

One thing I do hope they'll lift from Bloodborne is using the dash-dodge rather than the roll (probably slowed down from what it is in BB). Sure, it's just an aesthetic thing, but after seeing the change in Bloodborne, rolling seems a little goofy (cue the "dark souls" MMA gif).

Honestly, I took the "sword fighting arts" thing to essentially be "spells for melee characters," rather than building your own move set for your weapon, but I guess we'll see soon enough.

I'm betting the decision to lie about frogloks was above Moorgard's pay grade back then (he was just a community guy back then, iirc). So it might be a bit much to hold that one against him. Won't argue the other points.

The general sense I was getting during the whole layoff thing was that SOE was unusually stable (perhaps too stable) in the industry with regards to employment, so I guess it's not too surprising that people might get blindsided by the whole thing.

I will say that I like the weapon selection they showed off here, and how it fits with the time period. I was kinda worried they were going to continue with the idea of the character openly walking around with a small arsenal, as in the previous games. That more-or-less works in medieval and...

Just got announced this morning. Victorian London, something of a Gangs of New York vibe to it, two protagonists that you can swap between, a grapple gun, and no multiplayer. The fact that they opened the video by talking about how they screwed the pooch with Unity, as well as the fact...

FYI, the wipe is officially going down tomorrow (the 5th), and is supposed to take 2-4 days.

And they've officially announced it. No gameplay yet, but the trailer's pretty cool. So as I understand it, the game is launching with Empire, Dwarves, Greenskins, and Vampire Counts (and maybe Chaos?), and according to IGN they're planning to do two more stand-alone releases...

ArenaNet just put up a post about the new way to acquire precursors.Link The short version: level up the 'precursor crafting' mastery track, and you'll unlock a collection quest, complete the collection,and you'll be able to craft the precursor (or craft a pre-precursor, then you further...

It may be more of a perception vs reality thing, but yeah, it's pretty damn rare to see someone else out in the world, and there tends to be a fairly small number of people you'll see in General Chat (and when chat goes across servers and still has so few people in it, that's not great). On...

Eh, I still play. I actually rather enjoy the building (even if some shit is overly arcane), and trying my hand at the Workshop stuff keeps things relatively fresh. But yeah, it does seem like there's a crowd of <100 people that actually log in regularly nowadays.

They've put up a post going into more detail on the upcoming wipe.Link So the big thing is that thisisn'tthe transition to open beta. Instead, this is just a wipe that's needed to implement a bunch of the stuff they've been working on, the major ones being the new biomes and redesigned...

Fuck. Link

RiseOfTheCrowfallen.com? *insert the Brad picture here*

On the off chance anyone still cares, they just put up a small update to theBlueprint. The major point being that the game's going into open beta in a month/month-and-a-half timeframe.

Which is actually why EQN is still on my radar, in spite of what's gone down with Daybreak. This genre's been utterly fucking stagnant for the past ten years, and anyone trying to actually nudge it forward deserves a chance to prove whether or not they can do it. If EQN can actually manage a...

So the guy waits until after they announce an expansion that'll give you a reliable way to get a precursor, and chooses that time to drop real cash to buy one off the auction house? Huh.

Yeah, pretty sure they've said for some time that EQN will have instances; although I believe they've said they intend to be rather sparing with them. On monetization, I'm guessing all they're doing is leaving the door open for possibly going b2p rather than f2p. The odds of them doing a 180...

I work freelance as a copy editor and proofreader, so if you get this thing off the ground and want someone to give articles the once-over, feel free to PM me.

Saw this cross posted at the EQN forums; summary of the situation from one of the now-ex PS2 devs:http://www.reddit.com/r/Planetside/c..._novadaybreak/ The short version: pretty much what some of the slightly less cynical posts here have been saying, SOE/Daybreak had too much unnecessary...

I liked Georgeson, he had genuine enthusiasm for what he did, but I have to admit, I didn't totally get his position at SOE. They already had all the regular team leads for the EQ games, why did they need an additional creative director for the entire franchise? I wouldn't be terribly shocked if...

That pretty much sums up my feelings as well. As for replacements, I could see Oliver (if they could lure him away from HBO) or Mandvi working out well; Jones is a maybe.

They'll announce that they've secretly doubled their development team, and are unvieling both Fallout 4 and TES 6. ... What? A guy can dream. Although if they're doing a full conference, they're going to need to have more to show than Fallout 4 and a Dishonored sequel.

Jesus Christ. Granted, I don't closely follow a lot of football, but still, craziest final two minutes I've seen in a football game.
