And it would appear that THQ is no more.
Their assets have been divided and sold accordingly:
Sega agreed to buy Relic Games (Warhammer 40k and Company of Heroes)
Koch Media (Deep Silver) bought Developer Volition (Saint’s Row and Red Faction) along with the licence to Metro
Crytek is purchasing Homefront
Take 2 is buying Evolve
and Ubisoft is to purchase Montreal and the South Park game
After the news was released, Naughty Dog made a tweet offering employment to developers affected by the bankruptcy.

ah ok art what I mean waas other then the trailers, I haven't really seen any gameplay footage (perusing the dev blog now so that could change) so I can't really judge it on some flashy cinematic trailer.

Except what I posted was in game footage. Granted, still in development, but tangible gameplay footage nevertheless.
As far as how it plays, more so than how it looks, will be up to the beta testers. As one must do rather than see to make proper judgments.
My bar of standards and hope for success are about equal between TES and ARR.

I must've skipped that video :| or not seen it ... (or I got thrown off by them talking in the beginning and just thought it was going to be a live blog diary of them just talking)
still won't judge till I can try, they can script gameplay to make it look better then it is, the true test of course will be if and when the beta is and when I get to try it.

Yar. I mean it looks wonderful on paper, it seems to pan and play out wonderfully and has a really solid foundation. But how it measures up to real time and actual gameplay has yet to be determined. I'll keep you posted if my roomie gets accepted into the beta.

have they said anything about if it's going to be P2P, F2P or micro transaction based? I don't recall them saying anything like that but I've obviously not been following it that good rofl.

Another game I'm having extremely high expectations for:
Metal Gear Solid Rising.
The concept of being able to play as Raiden is *** incredible but, at what cost is what worries me. Will it turn out to be a total sham or disappointment if they compromise decent immersion, gameplay or practicality for the sake of flashiness and widespread demo appeal? I sure as hell hope not.

I havn't looked much into it but I have a hard time seeing a TES MMO still being a TES game if that makes any sense... the best part about the games for me was twieking various themed builds regardless of if they were optimal or not where as with a MMO setting role play needs to be left at the door. Needing to know everything to avoid holding other players back (I'm assuming there is a group system) will kill the exploration portion a month or two from release as well.

That I'm not sure of. I'll have to do some digging or just leave it to my room mate to find out. Though based on the general trend of success for the general MMO market rising up based on the F2P frame with supplemental additions from micro transactions would point to that over a recurring premium. As to how the micro-transaction infrastructure is implemented and balances with the in game system will be vital as not to alienate those who want to play and have fun, and those who simply want to be the best and happen to have mommy or daddy's credit card.

Xenophobia is hell of a drug personality disorder.
Either that or just dickish impulses. I'm going to assume the latter.

Ah my mistake. I was must have misread and presumed they were all JP.
Looks like you happened to run into someone that decided to be a total jerk :/

I'm not into traps. Let the mithra burn. Save the tarus.
Save the fashion. Freaking "traps" sigh...sometimes, I miss the person who taught me that word. AND NO, didn't learn it was a trap!

If anything, I'm hoping the story line will be good, but I'm hearing hideo Kojima isn't working on this game iirc.

It's funny when you claim the nm, and then the guys try to be all nice to you.
Karma's a ***, especially when you can be the *** to them! :)

Anyway now another guy arrived from his ls, apparently he was sleeping and was claimbotting.

Then again, if LoveBanana is anywhere near as clueless and assenine as they were on Remora, it's not that surprising there's blind hatred for them.

I didn't claim anything of the sort, hun.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
