Dynamithix 09-07-2011 12:07 PM

Probably can't pre-order that for a while, they just announced it early today.

EDIT: oh dog, they announced the price for the Collector's Edition.

...but I don't have a PS3. :(

*sigh* I think I'm the only one posting to this thread...

Anyways, Starbreeze are making a Syndicate remake. It's coming out in 2012, but wait! That's not all. It's going to be an FPS. Also, 4 player co-op confirmed!

A lot of people raging over that already, but my god, does it look like Deus Ex. That's good. Picture time!

Strike a pose!

I want to dual-wield shields. That would be awesome. Or two twirling shortspears, tracing glowing lines through the air... But no, a battering-ram approach would be cool. TURTLE POWER

EDIT: I haven't got time to watch them properly right now. Someone give me a summary of everything cool that happened, with times.

Daxter King 09-12-2011 09:43 AM

Syndicate might be good, Ill have to see more of it if I decide if I want it. It seems like this barrage of good games isn't stopping anytime soon though.

STM 09-12-2011 12:24 PM

@MM - Killing dragons, killing people, killing elemental dead guys, killing dogs, oh and the stats tree is amazing! As you unlocks or upgrade a power it adds to your constellation in the sky!

Dynamithix 09-14-2011 08:45 AM

This was released just 15 minutes ago. Goddamn.

Fat Man in a Wife Beater Kills Minorities: The Game

MeechMunchie 09-14-2011 11:26 AM

You can say many things about Blizzard, but I'll say this: They take their fanbase seriously. I've already got my Diablo III character planned out. Also just fun for making stupid power combinations.

God damn, Skyrim looks amazing. Just two months or so til it's finally out.

Silent Hill: Downgrade

RAAAGE!



50p says this guy gets hired to make Portal 3.


Crashpunk 09-20-2011 01:03 PM



DOWANT!

Phylum 09-20-2011 06:16 PM

RaC4 looks simplified to me. I want to wait for reviews before I decide if I want it.

I'm more interested in Insomniacs new 3rd person shooter.

Disgruntled Intern 09-21-2011 12:35 PM

Really looking forward to Rage. Surprisingly. Also even more excited for Skyrim now that they've shown the updated Argonian models, because that's all I play. They finally look reptilian and intimidating instead of the lemon headed bug eyed mongoloids that they were in Oblivion.

MeechMunchie 09-21-2011 12:40 PM

Three cheers for different eye styles. Not all reptiles/amphibians have wobbly slits for pupils.

Dynamithix 09-21-2011 01:26 PM

Uh, okay, this is pretty creepy. Fill some of the boxes.

Pre-alpha footage. If you're interested they're relying on Kickstarter for funding.

Dynamithix 09-23-2011 10:05 AM

Yay, a preview of the Missing Link DLC for Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

- You can access it straight from the main menu
- It will be approximately 5 hours long (Or so they say...)
- It will have achievements/trophies
- Your augmentations will be taken away so you can build a new Jensen!
- Takes place on a cargo ship


MeechMunchie 09-26-2011 09:02 AM

Skyrim has its skill/race perk lists out.

Shock, horror, Argonian fans: They are no longer immune to poison. When you get over the initial outrage, this makes sense. They may certainly be immune to the toxins of Black Marsh, but they're a long way from home now. Let's just be grateful they don't incur penalties for being cold-blooded. Instead, to represent their hardy constitution they regenerate health more quickly than other races. Resist Disease and Water Breathing remain unnaffected.

Dunmer have changed again. They've always been resistant to fire, but the power representing their spiritual connection to their ancestors kept changing. In Morrowind the familial protection made them harder to hit, in Oblivion they could summon a ghost, now in Skyrim they can SET THEMSELVES ON FIRE. It's called Ancestor's Wrath, and presumably does fire damage to anyone in contact with you. Might be useful in the dark too.

Also, LOL, the tightwad Imperials look extra hard for cash when looting corpses.

My favourite skill perks:

:

Speech
10% price buying from opposite sex

Finally you get to play the charming rogue.

Illusion
All spellcasting (from ANY school) is done silently

I have dreamt about things like this. They had it as a spell in Baldur's Gate, the idea that as an Illusionist bending the barriers between thought and reality, you could essentially trick the world into acting like you'd said the magic words when you only thought them.

Conjuration
Bound weapons banish daedra

Nice idea.

Destruction
Frost damage chance to paralyse targets if health low

Fucking finally, a frost spell that can actually freeze people. Also,

Shock damage chance to disintegrate targets if their health is under 10%

Awesome.

Restoration
Once a day chance to autocast 250HP restoration when health drops low

A sort of magical reflex action, like grabbing onto something when you fall. Pretty cool.

Alteration
Absorb 30% magicka that hits you

It's worth pointing out that Alteration is Mysticism as well now.

Enchanting
Death blows to creatures trap souls for weapon recharge

Makes sense. Rather than having to use soul gems all the time, let a weapon absorb the souls of the creatures it kills. Also the more practical:

Extra effect on already-enchanted weapon can be applied

Expect to see this exploited a lot.

Heavy Armour
Unarmed attacks with heavy armour gauntlets – damage increased by gauntlets’ armour rating

That's been a long time coming. Punching someone in the face while your fist is COVERED IN STEEL should hurt more.

50% less stagger if all in heavy armour

Be Iron Man! Be unstoppable!

10% damage reflected back to enemy if all in heavy armour

Ow, my sword!


2-handed Weapons
Standing power attacks do 25% bonus damage, chance to decapitate

I'll just give that a chance to sink in. Chance to decapitate. To decapitate.

Archery
Zooming slows time

Bullet Arrow-time!

Draw bow 30% faster

*Pt-CHOO Pt-CHOO Pt-CHOO*
*Thunk Thunk Thunk*

Move faster with drawn bow

Originally I thought this meant faster than normal running speed, and I was about to type 'Now that's just stupid'.

Sneak
No longer activate pressure plates

Me in Oblivion: "I can see the plate. I have no intention of triggering the plate. I am about to throw this bunch of flowers onto the plate to spring the trap. This should not have to be necessary."

Thank you very much Bethesda.
Full list here.

The new BF3 trailer. Apparently it's got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one.


Hazel-Rah 09-26-2011 06:35 PM

Skyward Sword looks excellent! I'm getting myself a Wii just to play that game (plus a bunch of other Wii games I've always wanted to play). But yeah I see they went with the cel-shaded animation again but the character models are sooo much more detailed than they were in Wind Waker, the whole thing really looks like a water color painting and I'm sure it'll be great.

MeechMunchie 09-27-2011 08:42 AM

PLOT!



BAT-PLOT!



Everyone knows that free-to-play games are never entirely free, but this is one of the free-est free-to-play MMOs on the radar right now. And bear in mind this used to be a proper, subscription-funded game. You're not-paying for quality stuff here.

The Syndicate reveal trailer. Doesn't look too Deus Ex -like anymore really. It's coming out a few days before my birthday, if it turns out good, I might get it.


MeechMunchie 09-29-2011 06:23 AM

Like X-COM, it's a perfectly respectable game that injured its own publicity by claiming a much-loved classic as its predecessor, despite having few similarities.

People are saying that if you actually wanted to remake Syndicate, you should have made this. Which some people are doing right now.
