Gamescom 2014 - Darth Roxor was there. Also, hovering dogs

Aren't console games supposed to be ported for windows first? Or they use emulators right from the get go? Still don't get it.

They make console games on DevKits, which are PCs with software development kit. Software development kit is a set of software development tools that allows the creation of applications for a certain software package, software framework, hardware platform, computer system, video game console, operating system, or similar development platform.

Ooops.

This one is clearly fake. The screen above should be paralell with the Need for Speed board with the buttom. And why would it show a login screen. If the game crashed, it should be an error message and the desktop. But the Xbox ones look real, so this one is probably the work of an Xbot, who wants to make the PS4 look as crappy as the Xbone.

 

[Berekän]

Have you guys docked yet or what?

 

[Machocruz]

Ooops.

This one is clearly fake. The screen above should be paralell with the Need for Speed board with the buttom.

They are parallel, it's just the angle from which the photo was taken makes all the lines converge in one-point perspective.

I still think it's fake. Why would it be a login screen? Why doesn't it have a frame? It is fishy.

So I've attended the presentations (or otherwise checked out) the following shit games. Here's how I rate them:

- Blaggardz 2 - cool
- Devil's Men - potentially very cool
- Fire - alright
- Clandestine - cool
- SUPERSIKRIT - /
- Raven's Cry - meh
- Hellraid - meh
- Starpoint Gemini 2 - very cool
- PoE - meh/potentially uncool
- Runemaster - cool
- Grey Goo (only watched some gaemz being streamed live on a huge screen) - potentially uncool


Detailed write-ups coming soon

Bitch plz

You mean Pillars of Eternity?

Yes.

 

[Infinitron]

I appreciate Roxor's thoroughness in writing reviews, but always remember, guys, that his taste in RPGs is...idiosyncratic.

 

[likaq]

- Clandestine - cool

Please elaborate.

 

[Darth Roxor]

This time I'm serious and not trolling, though. I dunno whether my impressions over this game are so very lukewarm because of how generic it feels or how buggy the presentation was or the area they used for the presentation is just so bad, or perhaps it's all three.

 

[Darth Roxor]

- Clandestine - cool

Please elaborate.

Kind of looks like the game Alpha Protocol wanted to be.

You don't deserve that.

It's good to see you butthurt

 

[Roguey]

It's good to see you butthurt

Disingenuous criticisms are amusing.

 

[Black_Willow]

It's good to see you butthurt

My butthurt is amusing.

 

[Infinitron]

and its only saving grace may be JES' take on mechanics

Well, at least you're original.

Actually, that might even warrant you a brofist from Roguey!

 

[Roguey]

This is the first time I've ever seen someone criticize IE graphics and animations.

 

[likaq]

all else is a straight-up copy of an abominable series of games

Yes, with one exception -> PST

made on an abominable engine

Yes.

with abominable graphics, abominable animations

No.

abominable setting

Yes.

so, let's hope JES can save this turd.

He can't.

 

[J_C]

games made on an abominable engine, with abominable graphics, abominable animations,

It's good to see where you priorities are.
