There's also Hardcore Tactical Shooter, but I don't think it has any chance to succeed.

They should probably shop their game around, get in contact with RPS or some other major gaming blogs.

I didn't donate, but I wouldn't mind paying for an actual good, tactical shooter in the vein of SWAT 4 if they ever manage to release it.

Scalding Coffee posted:Kind of hard to pimp the latest zombie game when you have Shadowrun getting all the attention. It does allow SP, Versus, and MP survival. I think the game world is like as big as Minecraft. I imagine they will either use some map tools to scan the world and get us a very low detail world with assets randomly sprinkled around in it or just build a whole bunch of building blocks and spread them around semi-randomly.

As far as I understand its a show on youtube about World of Warcraft and Minecraft in which they apparently made their own story involving their characters between the games.

There is no way video games will crash, what probably will crash are series. Guitar Hero and other rhythm games already died due to oversaturation and I can see something similar happen with the Call of Duty series and its many clones.

That cop and robbers game sounds fun to me, but I might just be desperate to play a game even remotely like SWAT again:

Some info on Jane Jensens kickstarter, its a spiritual sequel to Gabriel Knight. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/04/16/jane-jensens-next-game-is-moebius/#more-104027 Also included, a video of her daughter walking through a barn.

ToxicFrog posted:Maybe my brain is fried from thesis work but I've read the Storybricks KS page twice now and I still can't figure out what it actually is. A set of tools for game developers? A user-editable MMO? A campaign-building toolkit with sample game a la NWN? As fas as I understood it, yes it's like the NWN toolkit but with a lot more options and even more build towards it without as much as the pretension of having an actual existing campaign in there.

It seems odd to me that a site I thought was about pc gaming would support a game not at all focused on pc's so much.

I don't really care about the game, but they should have at least publicly given a reason for the shutdown instead of just shutting it down.

BrainParasite posted:I don't see why somebody doesn't just make porn starter or something, because these issues are going to keep coming up. I'm pretty sure one was linked in one of the three kickstarter threads we have here actually. gently caress if I know what its called but I'm guessing its something pun based like 'Jerkstarter'

If you look at the concept art in the stretch goals they actually have a lot of variation.

Al Lowe (from Leisure Suit Larry) apparently started a second kickstarter: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1787675232/sam-suedetm-in-undercover-exposure?ref=category Also with Ken Wegrzyn and Steve Ince. The rewards kinda own, you can get yourself naked in the game if you want for some godforsaken reason but you can also get a private concert by Al Lowe.

AxeManiac posted:I'm sure money just falls out of gabe everywhere he goes, just being near him makes you rich! Valve makes a poo poo load of money, Gabe owns all of it and constantly sponsors new things (buying the Portal and L4D teams) plus he lets his teams do whatever he wants with near infinite funding. If the guy wants to fund a sword fighting game, he can.

Being able to get a video card worth 130 bucks with a kickstarter pledge of 325 bucks seems like a good deal if you are interested in supporting it. They mention they are working with the video card company, but still I wonder how much this is costing them.

CommissarMega posted:I don't know; IIRC, some priests were against the way the conquistadors treated the natives. Maybe if you RP as a goodly churchman, the game could turn out that way. There were, it wasn't all doom and gloom and there were factions in the 'explorers' who do not fit the slaughtering stereotype. A few of them ended up as local saints in the area, but I can't remember their names out of hand. Of course, those still brought diseases.

I had way more problems with Fallout 3 then i ever had with any of the Obsidian games. No inquisitions calling for Bethesda blood though. Mass Effect also had a lot of graphical glitches, some persistent through all 3 games. Obsidian is nothing in comparison to Troika anyway, now those guys made some buggy rear end games.

Tufty posted:Yeah, I'm totally sick of this glut of old school RPGs. I know that a lot of people have been clamouring for more games like this for years, but 4 or 5 is enough! I hope after these games all come out we don't see any more for another decade and a half so I have time to play Dragon Age 3 and Gothic 5. Weird references considering Dragon Age 1 was hailed as a come back to old school rpg's and the Gothic series started as some as the most gently caress you hard games ever.

'In one case, the publisher decided instead to design their own game. Millions of dollars later, they created a dismal failure that sold under 1,000 copies' Wonder what game that was.

Merry Magpie posted:What platform did you play on? I cannot speak for others, but I played on PC and encountered no bugs. The sole complaint I had was somewhat fiddly mouse control. Did you never save when on a mission which would guarantee all enemies dissapearing in the cell you were in?

Merry Magpie posted:After three separate playthroughs, I never encountered that bug. I think it was linked to a memory issue on consoles. Hmm I bought the game on the PC after they were done patching it and encountered it every time I saved, forcing me to never save in missions. Heard it was a really common bug too.

Hey guys, support Maia. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1438429768/maia?ref=category It is like Dungeon Keeper.

Axegrinder posted:I don't get the Dungeon Keeper vibe from Maia, despite the fact that they have a lot of similarities. It looks limiting, like Dungeon Keeper re-imagined by an accountant. Have you seen the newest video. Because it looks exactly the same as DK but on a new engine. There even are chickens!

I don't see why updates should be for backers only, after all they are just a form of pr. You don't go hiding a trailer behind a paywall either, especially not one open only until a certain time. The DF documentary maybe, but that is on a somewhat different level of costs for the producers then some text and a few pictures/a bit of video.

The Men Of War team put up a crowd funding thing for their new game, but for some reason it isn't actually on kickstarter and there is like 0 information on it. Men Of War was excellent though! http://www.digitalmindsoft.eu/products/call-to-arms

They are German but develop the series together with an Ukrainian company. They are big enough that they should be able to have a guy open an American account though, I've seen smaller European companies do it (my tiny rear end country has 3 kickstarters running right now concurrently). edit: Actually I asked them on their facebook. They said they are planning on using kickstarter further on in development.
