  • Assassin's Creed: Unity

    Really good insight ! I'm hyped by this, coop will probably get me into an AC finally.

    I visited Ubi Annecy last year (they work on AC mps) and they had the exact same speech about AC DNA and core pillars : combat, stuns and assasinate ! ;p

  • DOTA 2

    Quote from Sentura

    Fighting games unfortunately can't be won as easy - at least not those present at EVO. If every team is forced to adapt the same strategy there's also something wrong with the balance of the game. It can't and shouldn't be rare to outplay a strategy.


    Fortunatly, we are speaking at a pro level. E-sport games are often unbalanced with pro games.

    When i'm playing with friends or even alone, those strats aren't that easy to execute.

  • DOTA 2

    Quote from 2d-chris

    I think its a bit of an overreaction, I enjoyed the games up until the final, I also really enjoyed the games at ESL Frankfurt last month. It's true the final games where really disappointing, but IMO it's no different than any other sport where you can get some really shit games.


    Lasts years TI was rat DOTA, the Chinese found a way to outplay it, and next year another play style will dominate that.


    I suppose the only thing I'd prefer to see is more heros being used, than the shuffled 15 or so that get selected and banned every game.


    Yes, there might be a lot of overreaction from community. I think most people are just a bit sad that this early push meta won TI4. Newbee (the winners), started from lower bracket and won all their match with this strat : picking heroes that allow them to end quickly without giving any good and deep entertainment to watchers. Game were usually super short. Also, with this strat they forced all the team to adapt on the fly and mimic this strat : it ended that many teams did "not as good as we could have expected from them" games. Stil, it's a competition, the winners made a really good move for 5M$, but the show was a bit disapointing for viewers.


    All games were very similar in picks and strats, like Chris said : last year there was more different heroes picks and mostly more exotic picks. A bit less tryhardism too.

    Like watching someone beats you in a Fighting-Game with the same move, over and over again : he might win, but you might find he is a total ass-hole.

  • DOTA 2

    Well, this grand finale was really boring... That meta memepush and those abandon in 15 and 17 minutes were so awfull. Hope they gonna fix the game a bit, for a cashprize of 10M, this was painful to watch...

    This year was even worse than split rat doto of Alliance.


    Any thought guys on this event ?

    Quote from blackdog

    Yesterday I flew back to Italy.

    Tonight we are saying goodbye to our dog. I've seen him opening his eyes, I couldn't miss the moment when he closes them.


    The feels ...

    Even if my cat is a total asshole who ignore me most of the time and bite me the rest of it, i don't want to imagine the end of his days...

  • Dahell is happening in Kiev

    Quote from Beck

    At the end of the day. This is really fucking sad


    What is sadder is that people who are guilty and responsible of that will probably never be catch.


    Also, thumbs up to Putin for saying "See, people ? Civil plane crash in Ukraine, situation is really bad, if only you let us invade Ukraine... your fault people. Maybe now let me claim this land ?"

  • Code Name: Project Alpha

    Some months ago i was thinking to a similar project, but I worked on so many project who didn't see the light of the day, that it stayed as the idea state.

    I think you should set by yourselft the main line of the game and ask for people to contribute then.


    If you want more visibility, you can post it and reddit game dev forums.


    Also, cna you tell us who you are and what are your skills ? just curious

  • Quixel Suite Open Beta

    I bought it some month ago but never found anything to use it on yet


    but yeah Pogop, loading and working times are a bit tedious, i think everything runs faster when you know what you are doing and how to achieve it (like any software), but right now I was just doodling trying to figure out the suite actually works. The whole masking system looks fabulous, but I never managed to achieve such a result.

  • What's Next

    Give us some hints, a new game ? A new mode ? A new character ?


    My guess are : a Payday 3 open world, in third person (like Kane&Lynch 2, but with a better gameplay) ! Am i right ?

  • What have you watched recently?

    Loving Spartacus Tvshow, i know i should too really jump in Vikings show !


    Also i just watched Elysium last night, wow, I have read some bad critics about this movie and wasn't expecting too much but it was a really cool surprise, good mood and design. The story was okay, a bit too much "black and white" when i prefer anticipation worlds to be grey, dirty and dark.
