Around the Network

Project Offset (working title) looks amazing. I hope they don't release it on the PS3.



I thought they had pulled the plug on offset. Nice to see some potential gameplay instead of the same old tech demos.

Precursor has some nice ideas but its a damed unatractive game. Not thrilled with the art style. The space combat looks like an old sidescroller. Still i like the idea of combining a lot of different genres.



Not sold on Offset...especially it looked AMAZING because that stuff was shown way before Crysis...but I'm not sold on the gameplay...looks like Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, and that didn't really deliver either.



LEFT4DEAD411.COM
Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Huxley=Do want :) Serioiusly, 200-person fps matches??



Around the Network

There is alot of interesting gameplay ideas. Precursors does have a hodgepodge art style, but I found the insane amount of gameplay interesting, not to many games are fps/space battle/driving/mech battling game play. plus I love the living guns you have to feed.

Huxley and Offset have alot of potential, I thought that scene in Offset with him looking over the plaza and the battle with that enourmous monster going on look awesome, more games are giving us a better feeling vast size, and the presence of something that is massive, it's quite impressive.



Huxley looks pretty generic (or a maybe interesting combination of generic elements anyway), and there isn't enough to say much about Outsider. Precursor has some interesting stuff, but I hope there's a plot hidden somewhere amist all the cool stuff. Offset once again gave me a huge raging boner that won't go down for a week, and reinforced my decision to get a gaming PC next year.

Then again I thought Okami and Portal looked pretty meh the first time I saw them, and Lair was the awesomest thing ever. Nobody should trust my trailer judgement, least of all myself. =P

Why would you want a game to NOT be released on a console?  What console do you want it released on?



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

 

Infamous looks really cool to me. You're a super hero (or anti-hero), you pick your powers, and you can use the for good or for evil. Of course, we've seen so little of the game that it's hard to say whether it will be good or not, but Sucker Punch has a good track record. Sly Cooper kicked ass.



sinha - I'll use my powers of telepathy: Slimebeast will want the game to be... 360 only. Because one, unhyped and unproven game makes all the difference in the console war.
