Some tasty rumors about Gearbox cheating Sega, by using A:CM money to fund Borderlands.
They seemed to have lost interest in the whole game after Bordelands became a success. While busy with sequel, Gearbox outsourced the the campaign to Timegate Studios. They screwed it up, and so on.....
Sounds like lawsuits are going to appear soon, if rumors are true.

The Dreamfall-saga continues now that Red Thread Games met their goal at Kickstarter!
(Got the required funding of 850K in just 9 days I believe, and finally gathered just above 1,5M, hitting a few stretch goals.)
Red Thread Games was founded by Ragnar Tørnquist, creator of 'The Longest Journey' saga.
The game is driven by Unity, and will be made available at least for PC, Mac & Linux.
Release: November 2014

Main character Zoë (actual in-game model)
Quote from robert.briscoeJust forked out for this and as much as I try to fall in love with it, it just keep kicking me in the balls. The menu system is confusing and crafting is awkward as fuck, and do I REALLY need to make a wallet in order to carry money?! I also don't like the whole "DANGER! YOU ARE LEAVING THE MISSION AREA! BS" This game is not BF3, it is an open world game...!
The final straw this evening was the save system; I just spent 30 mins exploring the map, saved and quit to make a call, then upon reloading, am put in some completely random location nowhere near where where I was when I saved! I mean, what the fuck is that about?! How can ubi get something like this so wrong??
You always respawn at the nearest disabled radio tower or cleared outpost.Regarding the crafting system and menus, totally agree. Ubisoft seems to be able to craft impressive games but the UIs are usually horrible.
The tech is still work-in-progress with know issues, for example the volume shadow resolution (aliasing) needs some work. The tech is designed to work well close to the sea level, but in the video the camera is lifted almost to the cloud level to show you how the volume works. The tech begins to break down the higher the camera is lifted.
Some talk about their [url='']tech.[/url]
The clouds look quite good.....or maybe they clouded my judgement?
My Steam shows 57 hours played for my first playthrough. That consists of hundreds of reloads while experimenting with different approaches to each mission, before finally doing the non-leathal way. So I've basically already played the game at least two times through.
TotalBiscuit previews Absolution, and discusses some of the critics the PCGamer review issued.
So looking forward to this! That Conan clip was excellent.
I just leave this here...
That was some awesome news......wish I could skip all the waiting....all the valvetime.
My most anticipated engine & game right there.
A small UK-based studio is creating a open world RPG game with some pretty impressive tech.
Judge for yourself:
Is the quality of animations likely to improve?
Yes. All the base animations were made by Madoc while he was developing the system behind them. We now have some very user friendly tools for animation design and getting an animator onboard is at the top of our list of priorities. We would also like to improve the quality of dynamic behaviours.

Quote from PogoPHey guys I heard that HL3 is exclusive to PS2. I just bought a PS2 just to prepare myself!!!!!!!!
Dammit! Should have checked my sources...now I bought a Sega Saturn for nothing. 
TotalBiscuit interviews Kim Jørgensen about their project. He asks some very good questions, and I recommend watching, if there's even a slight interest in this project.
Quote from PuddyThat's about the only thing that sticks out (and it's what the gaming media always pick up on). The soldiers, weapons, gameplay, environments... none of that is communicating it's own style imho.
Valid point.They try to tell a story about humans colonizing outside out solar system, but the guns still look like there was no progress in weapons development. (I think they should have at least GR:Future soldier like equipment.)
I still find many of the planned gameplay aspects quite impressive:
I wouldn't say that sharks with limbs is "pretty generic". But what do I know...
Interstellar Marines is now on Kickstarter!
I really like their vision, and hope they can make it a reality.

Time has passed, but they clearly haven't given up, so neither should you and I.
Illustrates well how people do anything to survive, crazy & brutal.
I like it.
That is more like it, gave me the feeling that it was time to pre-order. 
This left me very confused.....looked cool, but nuns & rpgs? Is this Saints Row Absolution?
