E3: Skyrim ad and time-lapse ad
Bethesda Softworks‘ Skyrim had its time in the sun at E3 today. So it should; this is The Elder Scrolls V we’re talking about. Tamriel is on the edge of chaos, the High King killed and alliances being made to clame the throne. In the middle of all this an ancient and deadly evil wakes. […]
E3: Halo 4 trailer
Thanks to a pesky little leak from Microsoft’s own website – we knew we’d be getting both Halo 4 and a reboot of the franchise. That doesn’t mean there was reason to turn away from E3’s Halo 4 announcement today. This video – at risk of being YouTube yanked, I fear – captures the all […]
E3: Fable – The Journey news, pictures and video
We have Fable news. There will be a new Fable and it’ll be Fable: The Journey. Albion’s end is coming, no more heroes are being born – but can be made – and all that matters now is the Journey. Peter Molyneux of Microsoft’s Lion Head Studios and Fable’s main man took the stage at […]
E3: Mass Effect 3 will have Kinect voice controls
One piece of news from the Microsoft press presentation from E3 today that’s certainly worth of RPG attention comes from developers BioWare. Mass Effect 3 will be a Kinect enhanced game. Expecting to make pistol shapes with your fingers and shout “pew pew pew!” at the screen? Unlikely to happen. What we are now expecting […]
Prototype 2: E3 trailer
Prototype 2 will be a gory (you can tell the designers want even more gory) non-linear action game aka an open world action game – or just one step away from an RPG. It was developed by the Canadian Radical Entertainment and published by Activision (actually, I think Activision now owns Radical Entertainment). in the […]
Spider-man: Edge of Time – E3 trailer
It’s E3 week. Hurrah for all us computer RPG fans – bad news for any geek who can’t stand computer games. Let’s take an extended peak at Activision’s Spider-man game. The Edge of Time lets us involve two Spider-men and some pretty intense cut scenes. Video game teasers aren’t regulated in the way TV adverts […]
Please, please, please… all NPCs do this!
This image will reach out and speak to all CRPG players. You know the dread plot twist; one your NPCs have to leave the group. Okay, we can cope with that, the group might be a little light on magic/healing/defense/offense but we’ll be able to adjust. What’s the real kicker? That blasted NPCs just gone […]
Darksiders 2: Wrath of War announcement trailer
Okay, I’ll admit that Darksiders might not be 100% RPG goodness but there are elements of the genre in there – besides, the mythology and setting of Darksiders appeals to many native geeks. In Darksiders we delt with the Apocalypse, started by War prematurely – or so we thought. There’s a twist there. In Darksiders […]
Not the sex toy Saints Row: The Third trailer
What’s the difference between an “action RPG” and a “non-linear shooter”? In both cases the emphasis is on running around and blasting things. I think the answer to the question is setting; War in the North is an action RPG because it’s set in Middle Earth and therefore the target market slants towards roleplayers. Saints […]
