etchinghillside, do games w Diablo 1 and 2 devs secure $4.5 million for a new ARPG: 'We're going back to what made those early Diablo games feel so awesome but taking them in some cool, fresh directions'

Hellgate London 2

nesc,

I can only dream. 😿

DarkThoughts,
nesc,

Literally no one asked for what they are trying to push, lol. Oh yes give me more of those cloud servers, and battle passes! 🥴

DarkThoughts,

What? How do you think multiplayer games work. lol

nesc,

Tell me how they work, if you are trying to insinuate that mentioned things are required somehow, I won’t laugh.

DarkThoughts,

Cloud based gaming servers are simply flexible game servers that have multiple international locations with dynamic load distributions instead of old fixed location game servers. There's literally nothing wrong with that over the old and less flexible method because this gives you servers that are closer to your personal location, which means less ping, and them being able to scale means it is less likely of them just crapping themselves under heavier load, because they can scale up dynamically when needed.

“Every monster is the Butcher”

grrgyle,

A Butcher that stalked you from the shadows like a kobold would be terrifying

Diablo had great lighting effects. In the catacombs you’d see a flash of movement in the dark, before being attacked by a goat demon who had used the darkness to get around behind you. The later instalments in the series made enemies much more visible, and lost something for it.

grrgyle,

Yes! I was trying to explain this at a PoE 2 launch party but no one got it. I know Diablo is likely dated in a lot of ways, but unlike with other entries, I remember actually getting scared while playing it. Like it actually felt like overcoming an ordeal.

nesc,

Fresh meat!

DrSleepless,

You play as the butcher

Dariusmiles2123, do games w Exodus, the new game being led by BioWare veteran James Ohlen, finally reveals some gameplay, and boy it sure looks like Mass Effect

I loved Mass Effect but I ain’t so enthusiastic about what I’m seeing for now…

Clearly the main protagonist looks a bit cheesy…

I don’t know about the game, but the book is good.

The devs are working on the game and recently they released a book from the game’s world.

I really thought it would be shit, but then I saw that it was written by a known scifi author, so I thought it would be at least readable. I was pleasantly surprised and the book is actually really good.

The book in question is:

Exodus: The Archimedes Engine by Peter F. Hamilton

Oooh, written by Peter F. Hamilton, should check it out!

Cocodapuf, (edited )

His book Dragonfall is one of my favorite books ever.

Sorry my brain stopped working, it’s called Fallen Dragon.

slimerancher,
@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t think I have read that one, thanks for the recommendation!

Cocodapuf,

And as soon as I saw your comment I realized I had the title wrong, it’s “Fallen Dragon”.

slimerancher,
@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

lol, no worries.

Passerby6497,

Wasn’t super interested until I saw it was a Hamilton book. Added it to my wishlist, will probably check it out, thanks!

No good deed goes unpunished after all

I 100% trust this guy. He’s just a incredibly genuine guy who wanted to help and has done an incredible amount of work. So happy he got the award.

MagnyusG, do games w Exodus, the new game being led by BioWare veteran James Ohlen, finally reveals some gameplay, and boy it sure looks like Mass Effect

every single bit of dialogue in that trailer sounded awful.

“I’m not just a pretty face” like, male Shepard was based off a super model, but it was never addressed in the games, they made him look rugged enough. This guy just seems like a glammed up clown.

Shard,

Like a high res Sims character

formergijoe,

I hope you can customize your character and make him ugly as hell.

Don_alForno, do games w Exodus, the new game being led by BioWare veteran James Ohlen, finally reveals some gameplay, and boy it sure looks like Mass Effect

but I’m back to feeling rather ambivalent about the whole thing, which to my eye looks like nothing so much as an alt-universe Mass Effect.

And that’s supposed to be a bad thing?

More Mass Effect is always a win in my book.

Deceptichum, do games w Exodus, the new game being led by BioWare veteran James Ohlen, finally reveals some gameplay, and boy it sure looks like Mass Effect

Looks pretty boring.

I’ll just wait for Outer Worlds 2 to scratch my sci-fi rpg itch.

ytsedude, do games w Exodus, the new game being led by BioWare veteran James Ohlen, finally reveals some gameplay, and boy it sure looks like Mass Effect

Looking like Mass Effect is not a bad thing. ME rules. If the gameplay is just as fun and characters/story just as interesting, then I’m absolutely down. That said, the NPCs are giving me cliche, overly-talkative, super annoying vibes. Hopefully that’s just from the editing. After the utter failure of Starfield, a solid sci-fi RPG would be very welcome, even if it’s a little derivative or overly reminiscent of its predecessors.

One can only hope

formergijoe,

If I had a nickel for every RPG where I can have sex with a bear I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t alot it’s just weird it’s happened twice.

This person appears to deserve recognition and respect. It is also a macabre PR stunt to defect criticism for layoffs during what’s essentially an industry party of self congratulations.

Two things can be true.

thedirtyknapkin,

sure, but that’s not his fault.

CosmoNova,

I honestly expected TGA to be more tone deaf and not address it at all after speeches about the „golden era for gaming“ from previous years. The entire award show is a PR stunt anyway. At least this single award spreads some awarenes and reminds us layoffs aren‘t just a number, but real people.

Man, that fucking sucks. The work this dude is doing is worth respect.

Never has it been easier for small people to attempt to knock people down to their level. It’s a shame people feel alright being so nasty to a complete stranger

People be licking boots out here.

I mean, this is not surprising since From was like this before.

inclementimmigrant,

Not unexpected but still disappointing.

Namco Bandai considers PC a second class citizen.

I’m no stranger to this in fighting games. It doesn’t mean you’re a second class citizen per se. It means they don’t want people to hold on to the beta version for months between the beta and the release, and they don’t know how to stop it.
