Yea read about this a few days ago. Not surprised that mainstream media is picking it up now. Shame for Sony, especially considering that they had problems with the Church of England last year ("Resistance").

Me too and I'm still pretty excited about this.
That's why.
We get it, you don't like the look of Fallout 3... But please, stop being so cynical, it's getting a little old!
Seconded. This goes to the whole team cynical

QuoteIn America we are open and tolerant to the many cultures of the world and demonstrate this by naming our cities after theirs. Here you’ll find Amsterdam, New York, Paris, Texas, as well as Bremen, Alabama. Germany pretty much only has German names like Darmstadt, Mühlheim, Oberpfaffenhofen, Kiel, and so on.

At least the premises for the launch party look good:

I have no idea what all these celebrities will do exactly as "hosts and co-hosts", but they got the motherfucking Foo Fighters for the music, so I'm a little jealous that I'm not invited

yeah currencywise were on the good side, true that. but that wasnt the issue. the issue is that l4d is the price of a new game but uses an 'outdated' engine from valve.
'Outdated' engine..is that the predecessor to 'In-House' engine?
This will never get old
But yeah, Left 4 dead, looks like some excellent, fresh mp action!

Good stuff Peris, can you add a bump texture to the rocky ground material?

Cigarettes, caffeine or toilet breaks! Why not centering an entire game around a drug addict? Not such a bad idea actually hmm...

About working in the USA:
A former German colleague of mine recently moved to the US to work at a studio in LA as a character artist. He's 25 and doesn't have a university degree, that said, he IS amazingly talented, he has worked on games as well as movies here in Germany and got a kick ass portfolio. I'm sure the studio invested a lot of energy/resources in convincing authorities that he is the right man for the job. So in contrast to what the posters before me said, I wouldn't completely out rule the possibility of working in the states without a uni degree BUT you really need a lot of work experience and a company that is determined to help you in all visa related questions. Looking at the background information you provided, I'm afraid this case does not apply to you.
First and foremost get a clear idea of what you would like to do if you worked in games development. You said you code but you also like art which means you got a passion for level design? Woah slow down there, these can be 3 completely different things. Your favourite position would ultimately be a "tech artist"? All this sounds rather vague and unfocused, maybe mino can tell you how he ended up getting a position as "tech artist", but in general I would advise you to specialize in one discipline rather than trying to be the jack of all trades who doesn't stick out in one field.

I hold my excitement until there is more than one review available.

Here is a short interview with the lead producer about this which confuses me even more:

This still sounds a whole lot to me like a split: 3 campaigns, 3 full price games. Not very expansion'esque! I will wait with a final judgement until more information is available, but maybe they should have cut down on their own expectations for the game this time around...then again Blizzard's trackrecord is undeniably excellent and this way we will get a better experience albeit more expensive.

Congrats, I hope you'll have a good time and what he said:

Despite Electronic Arts president John Riccitiello's earlier confirmation of a BioWare-developed Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic MMO, the two companies have been otherwise mum, the cat remaining halfway in the bag.But looking at that teaser image, there doesn't seem to be much room left for wild speculation. The rest of the invitation reads: "BioWare and LucasArts invite you to attend the official unveiling of the game that's been rumored about for years."

October 21st is the conference, a proper Star Wars MMO would definitely be something that I would look forward to (just so my dreams can be crushed again when the game is set to release :-| )
