  • Called it!

    Perhaps the biggest brand-new announcement came from Double Fine, whose founder Tim Schafer took the stage to announce a crowdfunding campaign for Psychonauts 2

    – Ars Technica, “Psychonauts 2, Rock Band VR, more new games announced at The Game Awards”

    I just wanna say ‘called it’. Okay, so Raz is still onboard but he’s clearly sharing the bill with Lili. So yeah, I clearly have psychic powers in this world as well as game worlds.

     

  • Broforce linux-port

    Yes, there were few problems and they were easy to solve in the end. Thanks to Unity the porting process was relatively easy. FAR simpler than getting the game to run on Mac, though probably the things that were done for Mac compatibility also helped with Linux compatibility.

    raithza, developer, talking about porting Broforce to linux on the steam forums.

  • It puts the video in the basket

    Videos will promote positive sentiment about the game. Videos must not show bugs or glitches that may exist.

    — Quote from the boilerplate agreement YouTubers are presented with in the promotion of Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor.

    Maybe I’m just unfamiliar with legal marketing speak but something about the tone creeps me out.

  • Harvesting

    Minecraft and the like have trained a generation to believe that punching, hitting and generally destroying things is the best way to harvest resources. Not so.

    – Adam Smith, Rock Paper Shotgun

  • WTF

    We must have played very different version of GW2, because when it played it it’s WvW was among the worst PvP I’ve ever experienced.

    Nothing like DAOC at all. The CC was far too weak for a good open world PvP game. You need powerful, AoE CC in a good open world PvP game else the team with numbers almost always wins.

    – MobileAssaultDuck, comment on an RPS article on Elder Scrolls Online

    I sometimes suspect I’m missing out on stuff by adopting the dismissive Yahtzee stance on mumorpugers. But the sheer AI (acronoymic impenetrability) of the comment above, makes me think that regardless of the merits of MMORPGs, it’s not going to be worth the effort required to enter that particular domain of gaming. Yeah, I could google all of it, but then I could also just play games I enjoy.

  • FTL Advanced Edition is out

    I can see a Playstation 4 and Infamous Second Son just unopened, just sitting there, waiting and I’m like “Aah fuck you, I’m playing FTL. FTL is a very magical game.”
