This game is doomed.

I've figured it out. You play Cris Angel. In a corset.

I don't suppose Stephen Russell has been tapped to voice him, has he? I just can't see that... thing talking with his voice.

Well think about the gameplay possibilities. You coul duse Cris Angel's "Mindfreak" powers to elude and trick enemies. What a genius idea.

There's a new article on their blog that Sneaky Bastards spotted, I don't know if this was posted before: http://community.eidosmontreal.com/blogs/Going-Rogue
Looks like damage control to me.

People who wear hats indoors should be set on fire.

I disagree. They're hip and cool and one day when I grow up I want to be just as hip and cool as them.

AssCreed has AI?

Can I get paid for doing nothing for Thiaf too?



Also they got an artist as a game director and 3d modeller as lead gameplay designer. How Bethesda of them.

Oh noez someone wears clothes I dont like, they must be untermenschen

 

[Hellraiser]

People wearing hats indoors are usually degenerate scum or jews. These guys don't look like jews.

 

[Unkillable Cat]

I don't mind people wearing hats indoors, but that's here in Iceland, during the cold winter months. If you're wearing hats indoors in a part of the world that has decent weather most of the year, you have problems.

My most concern is that these fagots only plays on a console

He cannot be more out of the closet than he currently is, it is not possible.

All PC ports of Eidos/SE games were handled by Nixxes. I don't really see why Thiaf should be an exception here.

 

[waywardOne]

I wouldn't put that skinny faggot in charge of anything not environmental or cultural studies related.

What the fuck is that?




What...the...fuck...is this?

 

[Mraston]

My feelings on this game rollercoasted from tentative excitement at announcement to complete and utter lack of interest after the "we are going to make Garret more mainstream" and "It's influenced by Assassin's Creed" comments.

Jesus Christ.

I'm certain the game industry is in dire need of a John Galt to lead an exodus of any developer with half a brain to let the rest of the industry implode into the heaving pile of excrement that it currently is.

 

[SCO]

Referenced john galt, ignored.
