Now it's official! As the current main teacher for Level Design at The Game Assembly, an advance vocational education, (University level but not academic, focused on pratice) in Malmö, Sweden is stepping down I'm about to step into his shoes and teach in everything from level design to game engines and scripting. First off at 100% and then I will drop down to 75% to continue my journey with my own studio.

Finally some economic stability in my life, a total relief!

Sweet! Really impressed by the people coming out of Game Assembly, we just had 2 interns from there start today, top stuff~~

Aye was probably the thing from this years E3 that excited me the most, looks really promising. Here's another gameplay video

Finchy!

Looks dope.

Hmmm, I would be way more excited about this if everybody just had the grapple hook and they made the levels crazy vertical and open, kinda Bionic Commando remake meets an arena shooter.

Alright, so I managed to get a copy last night and take it for a spin!

Call me a fucking nerd, but I was so excited my heart was racing. Played it for about 4 hours last night, before my eyes just gave up and forced me to go to bed, I couldn't believe that not only I was playing a new MGS game, I was playing what's most likely the last true MGS game, and oh man it's a glorious game...

I won't spoil anything for anyone of course, but just to talk a little bit about it, the first couple of hours of the game are absolutely batshit kojisan-insane cinematic action.
As for the core of the game itself, I only played a few missions, but I can already tell I'll be spending dozens of hours immersed into this world. It still feels like that familiar Metal Gear game we all know and love but at the same time it feels like a new kind of game I've never played before,almost feels like a new genre of game, it's so fresh! The freedom you have in here is absolutely unparalleled, and there's so many different ways to tackle the missions, that most likely no two playthroughs from two diferent people of a single mission will be the same, which of course adds a lot of replayability value to the game.

It just feels so good to play a game that doesn't underestimate the players intelligence, quite the contrary it asks for the player to be creative with his thinking, this game breathes gameplay and I love it for it!

Again, I only played a few hours but let me know if you have any questions, as long as they're not related to the story.

More like Day -5 Edition :v

Not jelly at all

Inoxx (Cedric Fiorentino) made Facing Worlds. Cliff made Tempest and Turbine, some of my favorite UT99 maps, so I definitely have respect for him as a level designer (granted that's a looong time ago).

Though the Gears games feel really old and stale now, then they pretty damn impressive on multiple fronts when they came out. For what it's worth then it's still the tightest cover based games, and they had a genuinely unique feel to them, with it being a very clear case of a game where gameplay was king.

Anyway, hope this turns out well, but man that trailer isn't exactly making me excited.

I have a lot of respect for Cliff Bleszinski as a game designer and I'm sure that the actual gameplay in this thing will be great, but holy crap that trailer was terrible.

pls b sep 1 nau

I did actually consider watching the 3-4 hour long Peace Walker "movie", since I never played that and supposedly it'll probably leave quite a lot of the plot of Phantom Pain seem even more confusing.

Looks cool! I just downloaded it, gonna check it out later~~grats on the release

I actually really want play this, but I think they're making a huge mistake by releasing in Q4, way too many new games coming out then :G Would've been perfect for an early August release

Aye, looks quite promising, Rollcage was a dope game~

Was okay, but very disappointing compared to season 1. I appreciate that they tried to do something very different with the 2nd season, and that just trying to replicate/continue season 1 wouldn't work, but it just felt like plain crime show with great production values, where as the 1st season felt like it really brought something new to the table and really set your mind racing in interesting directions. I also feel that in season 2 it was definitely strongest when they focused on the plot rather than the characters stories, especially because to me it feels like

none of those really had worthwhile payoffs

The scope of this game is fucking nuts, can't wait!

There's AI buddies, don't think there's co-op.

Also, GOTY.

Yup, the first Mafia is a classic, Mafia II had moments where it was pretty good, but overall it just felt like an empty world with soulless characters and mechanics that (as far as I remember) felt like they were from a 5 older game at the time.

Interested in seeing what's up with this new one, supposedly it's been in a bit of development hell (2K Czech being pretty much booted off the project, supposedly), but I hope they've got something good on their hands, I'm a sucker for these period based games.

Rawr~~love this game~

Finally got around to trying it out, first match and I scored this goal (pretty happy with that :D)

Yeah, seems like he had a lot of health related issues the last couple of years and didn't attend E3, but I had no idea that it was this bad. Sad

Just pledged as well, good luck man~

Extended E3 demo, the new stuff starts around 07:15, looking fucking incredible~~
