This is the ultimate example of how gameplay suffers when all the work goes into making everything look pretty. There is nothing fun about it, so forget the online leaderboards and don't worry about unlocking a few dragons in the stable or gunning for a high score. Forget Lair entirely.

Sounds like something went horribly, horribly wrong there. Ginsengavenger, care to comment?

Yea this has been posted before, shortly after the game shipped. Nice find anyway

Am I the only one that doesn't give a fuck about UT3?

Nope, you're not and I don't say that because of bitterness. I bought UT2003, which was amazing, as well as UT2004, but that I only got for Red Orchestra. I played Onslaught one or two times but couldn't get into it. Why would I pay full price for updated graphics and a couple of new vehicles/weapons? I don't know, I'm sure hardcore UT fans will get their kick out of it though.

No idea what happened there - I think we are soulmates after all KFS, connected via the streams of the internets

To think, it was just the other day in the Mafia thread people were praising 2k's upcoming lineup...Also, the Game Informer article is finally on shelves, so you should go grab it and read it with gusto.

Yea it's often amazing how fast people's opinions can sway, but to be fair, it wasn't Skjalg or Dux who said it

Hessi never ceases to surprise me

Who is publishing the title by the way? Signed anything yet?

A collegue just shared some of his GC photos, this one stood out for me

You rock too Mr. Newell!

Quote from Mojo

I was definitely really let down by the lighting, for UE3 it didn't really seem like it.

Wait wait wait...UE3? I didn't put much thought into what engine the game is running on when I played the demo, but I remember when the game was announced and first pictures appeared in magazines, didn't EA proclaim it to be using the next big installment of Renderware? Whatever happened to that?

wow @ that stairway

It's a nice retrospective on PA and contains some interesting background information. It's quite amazing what a long way this comic strip has come and the recognition it receives, but I might want to add that the author comes across as a bit of a sensationalist to me and exaggerates in certain passages, so while I am not up to do date with "wired"'s current target audience, it certainly has a mainstream media feel to it.

Anyway, enjoy!

OMIGOSHIYOSH! It's as good as winning to me tho. I mean common, it's a shipped game compared with a work in progress, and its one that has received the highest scores ever of all the platforms its released on.

But yeah, good stuff, wasn't even aware that we were gonna have a playable version there until a few days ago, lol

5.43 Frankfurt Mainstation to 9.46 Leipzig Mainstation sitting in the ICE Secondclass Weagon 22 with most of the GameDevs who were travelling with the Deutsche Bahn. Me and my fellow editor from hlportal shared a table with the 10tacle Studio Devs.

haha reminds me of my trip to E3, we shared the same crappy Indian plane with the editors from krawall

I've seen the gameplay vids from GC and it looked good fun, it has a very cineastic feel to it and since I know IO is striving for that - I think you guys are doing a great job.

Oh and seem like someone's palm trees is somebody else's samurai armor glass cabinets...

Aw pitty..I would love to play too ~

Maybe some of the US mapcorians can give it a shot and share their experience..

I think it hasn't been posted yet. I played it on Friday and was pleasantly surprised
