I only watched few of the Yogscast videos and generally like them, but that video was terrible and if it's any indication of the final game, then dear god. Also "In your face Notch!".

I finally got to watch Jane Jensen's Kickstarter video and it was... weird. I wonder if she can come up with something good, I only played Gray Matter and it was fun, but I can see how someone can hate the end of the game. Also loved the music.

That loving Sned posted:I know that if the project doesn't reach the target in the time limit, all the backers are refunded, but what happens if the project is cancelled after that, during development? As far as Kickstarter is concerned, nothing. It's stated during the pledging process that there are no guarantees. "Kickstarter does not investigate a creator's ability to complete their project. The claims and responsibilities of this project are solely its creator's."

Oh you mean the one that didn't even had Kate Archer in it and wasn't even named No One Lives Forever? That's a spin-off, not a sequel. It's also lovely.

NINbuntu 64 posted:It technically classifies as a sequel in the scope of this discussion No, it doesn't. Spin-off is a spin-off, but I agree and understand that's why they stopped making more NOLF games, although maybe they should've took the hints and stopped making lovely spin-offs and get back Kate Archer and all we liked about the previous games.

I thought they already had a VA for the main female protagonist, are they just going to oust her or something? The other option is to put Hale to some minor role in which case it's a total waste of money and talent.

I agree that there's a lot of zombie games, but there sure as hell ain't enough or even too much of good zombie games. Project Zomboid is shaping up to be a good game, Dead State might be good, Left 4 Dead games are solid co-op fun, Dead Island kinda sucked but I think it did the zombie thing very well. I have yet to play Day Z because I am striving really hard to persuade myself to shell out 20 euros just because of a mod. I played some other but they were largely forgettable as you might guess by the very fact I do not remember them...

I am still amazed how can someone navigate and play the levels in Cloudberry Kingdom. It's like those videos of Guitar Hero when poo poo is flying in at light speed and the player manages to press the right buttons perfectly anyway. It makes my head

Fergus Mac Roich posted:Huh? What? I've been playing Cloudberry Kingdom, mostly Escalation mode(because as of right now that's the only way to use a hero with custom physics), and it seems totally reasonable. It doesn't even get difficult until like level 30+ on Escalation. Even then it's not totally insanely hard like Super Meat Boy or anything. I'm sure it could be if you cranked everything up to the hardest possible settings but cloudberry kingdom is a game with a high difficulty ceiling AND a low difficulty floor. I meant the levels in the videos on their KS page. I am not aware of the actual playable levels.

Yes, Sim is the one singing the trololol song during the GOG announcement and appears in most of their updates. I suppose she's a regular employee at SS but I didn't really do any research on that. She seems to be pretty chill, as is nobby, the main guy.

Occupation posted:Fine, but either they should provide coverage of all gaming KSes (I'm not even arguing for equal coverage; just any coverage at all), barring ones that are scams/illegal in some way, or none of them. It's not like they have the scarcity of news inches that plagues traditional news media. Why should they cover all of them? We get it, you hate RPS, but what the gently caress. They should cover just whatever the hell they want to...

I understand the admins not wanting the forum to be overrun by random people promoting their scam kickstarters but stuff like Dead State that is very much legit and the thread wasn't even posted by the dev? Seems weird.

buttopticor posted:Personally, this thread has given me all the updates about Kickstarters I might want, that aren't contained in the individual Kickstarter pages. I figure if a game hasn't come out yet, then all the information we have comes from the Kickstarter page itself, and if there's something really special that warrants its own thread for more discussion than goes on here, I imagine the Games mods would allow the thread. Updates, sure, but not specific discussion. Every project doesn't warrant its own thread but as Megazver said, notable ones do, I feel. I can't even imagine what horror would it be to discuss Shadowrun, Wasteland 2 and other stuff in a single thread. It would be a mess.

Star Guarded posted:Thanks for the post. I realize this was a massive funding source, but it's insane that the video has 146,000 views yet only 187 people pledged from it. I assume they are taking their data from referers and those are very unreliable, because people might outright disable them, thus the user will be thrown on the "unknown source" heap.

Chunjee posted:Am I the only one a little disgusted that Project: Eternity got $1,100,000+ with zero game footage? They have an impressive resume and I really need an RPG to recover from Diablo III but come on. Without the money no game will be made - of course there is no footage. You think that by having alpha footage the project would be protected from failure? On Kickstarter there are both games which need the cash to pull them through the major stage of development and they can showcase a demo. Then there are promises, ideas, whatever you call it, and those won't happen without the money. Am I disgusted? More like thrilled! Ff this is going to be a trainwreck I'll be very surprised considering their track record.

Tangentially related, I just randomly happened to land on the Dominique Pamplemousse demo page (it had Indiegogo campaign) and I wasn't prepared for... that. It's kinda awesome. What I really wanted to know, though, what music genre or style are the loops playing in the background and/or whether anyone knows of something that's buyable and similar to this because it rocks.

Occupation posted:That's because it's an Obsidian project and being an Obsidian fan demands myopia and staunch, vitriolic defense of any slight against the company, real or imagined, and a tacit refusal to acknowledge the reality that Obsidian makes mistakes and is sometimes Bad at Things. No? How does being a fan prevent any of these? People never said that Alpha Protocol or Planescape: Torment were perfect games. It's the writing, choices and consequences, etc. that get the praise but combat and gameplay lag behind. If you think about it they could have a) went for something extravagant and not so overdone and maybe/probably? failed to reach the goal b) went with the classic, reach the goal and more, probably make a great game out of it and with the cash they make out of it keep making games set in different settings. Of course it might all go wrong but it's definitely looking more solid than a) which would be quite hazardous.

miguelito posted:- Are zombies in it? The zombie genre suffers the "Minecraft clone syndrome" - too many of them but 99% are in development, forever in limbo, slapped onto something completely unfitting or never move beyond "but!! zombies". You wouldn't even need all fingers of one hand to count the good zombie games.
