    Project Dark (Demon's Souls sequal)

    in Off-Topic

    Posted

    There's a preview on the game in this week's Famitsu. The official title is now Dark Souls. Some info from the preview:

     

    - This is the official title of what was previously Project Dark

     

    - This time they want to increase the amount of field exploration in the game.

    - All fields are seamless, so whatever you can see, you can reach and explore. If you see a fortress or castle walls in the distance, you can eventually get there.

    - There will be no map display in the game, just a position display marker.

     

    - They aim to make the game just as challenging than Demon's Souls, but also just as rewarding when you succeed. The sense of achievement is important.

     

    - The gameplay will be similar to Demon's Souls in concept, where it's about trial and error and learning from your mistakes to play better.

     

    - The game does not share the same world and story as Demon's Souls.

    - The game will not use the same format as Demon's Souls in terms of having 5 worlds connected via a hub.

     

    - Instead all maps in the game will be linked seamlessly in a connected world. The pace of the game will feel more about exploration and discovering locations, which you can then go inside into a dungeon or whatever and explore the interior further.

    - There will be more complex level designs in the game using more vertical design in areas and such.

     

    - The world setting is based on medieval dark fantasy, and will contain themes like "high fantasy of kings and knights", "death and the depths of the earth", and "the flames of chaos".

     

    Edit: More details added.

     

    - The character creation process will not be class based.

    - The play style of the player character will have much more freedom this time.

    - There will be many more spells and items, and the animation and uniqueness of weapons will also be increased.

     

    - The online elements are very similar to Demon's Souls. There is cooperative and PvP.

    - You can still leave messages, and see players who died at various places.

    - There will be no Soul Tendency this time because they don't want to have to use dedicated servers to handle that [cabbage] again.

    - Instead this time there will be more features allowing players to engage in "mutual role playing" which they say are still under wraps. They'll reveal more when it's time.

    Portal 2 anounced

    in Off-Topic

    Posted

    Marking the debut of Steam functioning on any next generation console, the features shipping in the PS3 version of Portal 2 include cross platform play (PC/Mac vs. PS3) for multiplayer games, persistent cloud-based storage of PS3 saved games, and cross platform chat (PC/Mac and PS3).

     

    In addition, those who purchase Portal 2 for the PlayStation 3 may unlock a Steam Play (PC & Mac) copy of Portal 2 at no additional cost by linking their PSN and Steam accounts.

     

    "We made a promise to gamers at E3 that Portal 2 for the PlayStation 3 would be the best console version of the product," said Gabe Newell, co-founder and president of Valve. "Working together with Sony we have identified a set of features we believe are very compelling to gamers. We hope to expand upon the foundation being laid in Portal 2 with more Steam features and functionality in DLC and future content releases."

     

    "We designed the Portal 2 PS3 experience to be very straightforward for gamers," said Josh Weier, project lead on Portal 2 at Valve. "PS3 gamers will be able to simply drop the Blu-Ray disc in the PS3, link to their Steam account from inside the game, and all their Steam friends (on PC and Mac) will be visible and accessible for chat and game invites."

    Nice work Valve :thumbup:

    @JD_2020 #AskJD How exactly did you counter quick scoping?

    @JD1010RU When you first sight-in, your sights wont be perfectly center. Youll have to take a moment to adjust (like a real sniper).

    @JD_2020 Will I still be able to quickscope? #AskJD

    @Herbert_Gun No. Quickscoping is a cheap way to play. Were specifically going to gimp Quickscoping, sorry. Play straight-up!

    EDIT: Also, the singleplayer. I've heard it can range anywhere from 5 to 12 hours. Many different stories on that, I think they said its based on difficulty. Danger Close said 8-12 hours, so thats what I'm hoping for. The four hour thing is bull [cabbage], though, those were a bunch of trolls trolling when the live stream of the singleplayer campaign went offline after 4 hours because EA requested the live stream to be taken down. Its now back up in case anyone wants to view it here. I'm sure as hell not watching it. *restrains hand from clicking link*

    It was this stream that completed it around 4 hours. He had to take the ending down, but he says in the 30 min video it took just over 4 hours to complete

    Blu-Ray and you

    I rarely buy films, but when I do I'll go for Blu Rays. The image is so much better, they're releasing the Alien anthology on Blu Ray in October and from the screens it looks like they filmed it last week.
