Quadradextrous posted:Looks like after some discussion the UK studio responsible for Carmageddon (the original, before Square Enix ran off with it and caused a big ol' fight to get the IP back) is going to kickstart the new game in lieu of publishing. I'm pretty interested! Yeah, I saw Notch tweet about this, I've got to back this. I absolutely loved the original Carmageddon and Carmageddon 2.

Carmageddon: Reincarnation is 8k shy of meeting its goal!  Still needs 200k if people want Mac/Linux ports, though.

Al! posted:Forget the business model. The Old Republic is desperate to hold onto a million subscribers despite being the biggest nerd property ever. Kingdoms of Amalur failed spectacularly recently taking tens of millions of taxpayer dollars with it and they didn't have much more to show than a handful of empty maps. Who is going to give this inexperienced team the millions upon millions of dollars it takes to make an MMO in this day and age? Rift is doing fantastic, but everyone always forgets Rift.

No, but you see, it's ~*~sandbox PVP~*~. It totally has a huge silent majority audience just teeming under the surface, waiting for the Right MMO.

People are discounting the insinuation that there are enough to maintain an subscription-based MMO, especially when it is postulated as basically a griefer's playground and not anything of merit.

On the other hand, if "innovation" and "pushing gaming forward" means GENERIC_SOCIOPATH_SIMULATOR instead of what we have now, then I'd rather not endorse either.

lordfrikk posted:This is the stupidest thing I've read whole week, bravo. What if he starts to cover every game that comes out, you won't play anything until the rest of your life? I think people are missing - intentionally or not, I don't know - the difference between stuff he reviews (which, as you say, is a lot of stuff) and stuff he is actively asked to promote and rally support for (which, among other things, includes Retrovirus). That said, I do not harbor any delusions about this position not being petty - I just wish TB had no relevance whatsoever. Edit: I do see that Verdugo uses the term "covers", but I think that was poor word choice. I could be wrong though!

Cloud Potato posted:Are we allowed to talk about projects related to gaming in this thread? Dreamcast worlds: a design history will hopefully be a book looking at the history of the Dreamcast through three of its games: Skies of Arcadia being one, with the other two likely to be Shenmue and Phantasy Star Online. It's 73% towards its $5k total with 36 hours left to go. $10 gets the book as a .pdf, $25 gets a paperback. That's really awesome. I think I will kick in $25. I really hope he addresses PSO, I spent way too much time playing it on the Dreamcast.

Okay, the first question: What the hell is defined as "revive" in that post from the tester about the F2P implementation? Is it like Torchlight's where you restart at the start of an area (or where you died) if you pay but go back to $HUB_CITY if you don't? Or is it basically Pseudo-Hardcore where if you don't have enough Karma, it's whip out the credit card or re-roll? Beyond that, what is Karma pricing like on unlocking new areas? Is it going to be a hellish grind to progress at all if you don't pay, especially if you don't play well and have to revive a lot (contingent upon the above question's answer, obviously)?

Personally I'm inclined to give him at least a small bit of benefit of the doubt, given that he had the class to do what he did and not pull a 38 Studios. I don't think he should continue the Kickstarter if his expectations/requirements are so much higher than the goal and the current projections pan out to, but at least he took care of his people first instead of unceremoniously dumping them in the cold.

epitasis posted:but if it isn't I'm gonna be pretty annoyed that my money went to develop their Zynga pyramid scheme, first. Their Kickstarter updates repeatedly stated that Factions was meant to be the production base for their combat and unit framework and that the single player game would be strapped onto the work that Factions produced. I'm not sure how you think this is somehow detracting from the single-player game.

Neurolimal posted:I am surprised that they needed to crowdsource their DLC, considering all the attention their (very nice quality-wise) character animation garnered. They posted about that on NeoGAF and the tl,dr is that their publisher's money is tied up in legal hell, so they really can't do this without crowdsourcing.

FunkyAl posted:Dude's got a lot of fake and bad ideas about homosexuality, among other things, but the $20 I gave to him to make the game isn't going to get donated to an organization that's actively trying to keep LGBT from getting rights or anything. You don't know that. Who's to say he won't use profits from said game to do just that? One only needs to look as far as Orson Scott Card to see that idea in practice. Given that TenPatel is practically as bad as OSC, I have no problem swearing off anything he does for the same reason.
