- First Unreal Engine 4 Screens | (6) |
- Quantum Condundrum Trailer | (4) |
- Grim Dawn: Soldier Video | (0) |
These screens from the next generation in the Unreal graphics engine look like a mashup between Skyrim and Diablo III with the firey demon lord and the snowy mountain fortress. Who am I kidding, I'd buy that game in a second.
So that Kim Swift chick behind Portal is making a new game in the same vein. Keep an eye out for this one and some doubtlessly more awesome puzzle adventures.
Speaking of Diablo, here is a new video for one of the finest looking 'Diablo Clones' I've seen. Check out the soldier for Crate's upcoming ARPG Grim Dawn.
Sorry this update is coming a bit late this week. I'll give you one word: Diablo. Now one number: 3. Nuff Said.
Actually I was preparing to write a melodramatic whine fest ripping Blizzard for their poor launch and they folly of always online DRM. Within the first 48 hours of launch, I had run into some bad luck and was growing quite impatient with Blizzard and their messy launch. I encountered at least 4 or 5 separate outage instances and had spent more time checking the forums, trying to login, and refreshing the server status page than I had actually playing.
Fast forward to this evening and around 7 hours of play later, and I'm almost ready to give Blizzard a hug. I am enjoying the heck out of Diablo III; many of my fears I held throughout observation of the development process and the beta have been relieved. We will see how it holds up in the coming years, but so far I am loving it. I might even go so far as to say I am coming around on the art style that I so adamantly have rejected in the past. I could drum up a list of minor complaints, but in the end, this a very polished and downright fun to play game I'd recommend to anyone in a heartbeat.
How are you guys liking D3? Did the turbulence at launch ruin your opening day buzz, or are you getting bit by the Diablo bug all over again?
Check out some inferno mode Skeleton King
Trapped between two worlds, Connor dons the mantle of the Assassin in the fight for justice against the Templars. Sentinel, outsider, and champion, Connor defends the land against those who would infringe upon freedom and liberty.
As Ohm alluded to in his blah, I have been following Diablo III a little bit. But doesn't everyone have this site open in a tab at least 24/7? At the time of writing this, that countdown is in the 4 day range. That's striking distance ladies and gentlemen. We are in the home stretch, and as usual, there are plenty of tidbits to whet your appetite while we are waiting for the main course.
This is honestly the first campaign that I'd so love to plop $1k down on, not just for the pedestrian tier, but the other goodies as well. Back when Carmageddon came out it was even more controversial than DooM. There weren't any other games that made a gamer more of a badass, especially considering that even the Pope wanted it banned. Twisted Metal never even came close to the level of carnage in Carmageddon, only the FPS Soldier of Fortune came close.
Check out the pitch for yourself, and if you're feeling generous send a few bucks their way. Only you can make it happen!
Matt Wagner sent along a few videos showing the P-51 in action. The embedded video below features some air to ground strafes. There's also a quick one vs one dogfight clip, and footage of Matt flying through gates, all on his Youtube channel.
You know what's crazy? By the time the next weekly update rolls out both Diablo 3 and Max Payne 3 will be out. I'd really stoked about the release of both, especially Diablo. I was so much of a fan of the Diablo series at one point that I helped GameSpy launch Planet Diablo, one of the more popular fansites. These days I can't hold a candle to Socket's obsession, he's got me beat big time. With Max Payne, I think it'll be fun to see how he's changed with age. The multiplayer addition sounds pretty interesting too.
In more interesting news, I heard from Billy "Wicked" Wilson's mom this week. She sent along a clip of Dax, jamming away on a drum set like a rock star. I'll have to get it uploaded for you guys, assuming she's cool with it. The little guy is growing up fast!
Anyways, that's all for this update folks. Stay tuned for ze news, after a little Key & Peele.
