Screenshots look pretty good!

Err, bloom wasn't even technologically possible in the 70s.

I think they had a special filter that combined both effects, it was called "put Vaseline on the camera lens".
Might be that it actually was more common in the early 80s, though.

1954 actually

Yeah, sorry, you're right. From now on, whenever I want to explain the concepts of "bloom" or "70s French porn", I will use this image as the central point of reference:

It all makes sense now

Great news! Blackguards has been delayed to January 2014!

Blackguards: Neuer Releasetermin

Hamburg, 16. Oktober 2013. – Blackguards, das rundenbasierte Rollenspiel von Daedalic Entertainment wird nun im Januar 2014 erscheinen. Mit ihrem neuen Spiel begeben sich die Hamburger Entwickler nicht nur in ungewohnt düstere Gefilde, neu ist für Daedalic Entertainment auch das Genre des rundenbasierten Rollenspiels, in dem sich die Adventure-Spezialisten austoben. Was das Spiel heute schon zu bieten hat, zeigen neue Screenshots von den vielfältigen Battlegrounds Blackguards.

„Natürlich stellen wir auch bei einem neuen Genre höchste Ansprüche an die Qualität und vor allem den Spaß des finalen Spiels.“, erklärt Kai Fiebig, Senior Producer von Blackguards. „Die nun zusätzlich gewonnene Zeit werden wir vor allem nutzen, um das Spiel noch besser zu machen. Neben der Performance Optimierung arbeiten wir außerdem an der Implentierung neuer Feature und einer nochmaligen Verbesserung der Grafik.“

Ah, man! It seems all the great RPGs are being pushed to '14. Hope it'll result in a better overall game.

Agh, tell me about it. I've some free-time to kill for the next few months, but next year when all the games come out I'm probably going to be too busy.

 

[Rake]

Sadly true. i have propably spent less than 60 hours total playing games this year. Exp. conquistador, DD:Dragon Comander and SR:R...

 

[poetic codex]

With all these games pushing back to 2014, how will they keep the excitement level high? It's better if they lay low for a whle then come back with aggressive marketing next year. Rather than keep teasing us week after week with their stupid "updates"

Don't mind me, I'm just bitching because I have to wait longer than expected for the "incline".

 

[felipepepe]

I don't bother with the delays, but it seems like the first months of 2014 will deliver more incline than the last 5 years... not sure if I can handle all that at once.

 

[Rake]

I'm sure Obsidian and inXile will make sure their games won't overlap. First W2, after half a year PE, after half a year T:ToN etc. But if you throw all the others into the mix with Larian, Shadowrun etc. (AoD maybe), we can easily have 1 new game per month the first half of 2014.

 

[Athelas]

Future historians will have an easier time mapping the precise beginnings of the Incline.

Future historians will have an easier time mapping the precise beginnings of the Incline.

Could be anything between the birth of Cleve 600 000 years ago, to the release of Age of Decadence, 10 years from now.

Future historians will have an easier time mapping the precise beginnings of the Incline.

Could be anything between the birth of Cleve 600 000 years ago, to the release of Age of Decadence, Thursday.

Fix.

Gameplay preview and interview.

 

[Rake]

some sort of point & clicky puzzle game

 

[LESS T_T]

Oh, right. I forgot to warn about the interviewer.

 

[Infinitron]

Yogscast, nuff said.

 

[Excidium]

Their level designers need to apply themselves.

Looks p. banal.

 

[Gakkone]

Apparently XCOM is the only reference point modern gamers have for turn-based games.

The devs seem very proud of how super grimdark the game is.

 

[Delterius]

some sort of point & clicky puzzle game

'It is a bit different than Daedalic standard stuff which is a pointy clicky sort of puzzle game'
EDIT: Better idea

 

[tuluse]

That's not even the worst thing she said in the first 3 minutes.

Think Civ crossed with Diablo

 

[Morality Games]

How nice. I thought I would be bored until Project Eternity, but amazing keeps appearing.

I guess the Banner Saga might still appear, but I'm getting the feeling that is also going to be a 2014 release.

 

[Jack Dandy]

Kind of like a mix of Diablo and Civ

hhhhhhhhh
