    hehe is that a Schwarzenegger voice I hear in that first video (during the boss fight)? Looks cool for fans of the original and fans of Serious Sam and the like. The marketing director sounds very..."enthusiastic" Don't let those showfloor demos wear you out!

    Btw. where are the Kinect 2.0 games? Not that I'm waiting for them, but after all the drivel about how it is so much better now, I expected to see some games using it. I mean, if not Ryse - what else?

    I don't understand you guys sometimes. I was happy that this is Multiplayer/Co-Op and not another boring, scripted hollywood-esque singleplayer title. This goes especially for the dialogues.

    Here's my computer room - TV room is a little drab in the new house, and not worth picturing in its current state. May have to invest in one of those 65"+ TVs to match the room size

    Zynga is still a social game company. Supercell is a mobile game company. Zynga grew at a rampant speed. Supercell grows slowly and carefully, Zynga IPO'ed and look where that got them, Supercell is private etc. Talking about the games: there is probably more similarity between the products than between Supercell's & Rovio's, I agree. Rovio is still following the premium approach, because they don't face the discoverability problem that other developers face. It depends on what criteria you judge a developer by: innovation in gameplay, execution, the fun you had with the game personally, business strategy/revenues that their titles generate ... I guess we can agree that Finland is pretty hot for mobile game development these days

    Jetpack Joyride is great! I've still got to check out "Fish Out Of Water".

    They reverse-engineer popular social games, nail down the core loop, add a little twist and deliver an extremely polished mobile game. If the game tanks after soft-launch/if the KPIs don't look good enough in the test-market, they scrap it. Maybe they are not the most original, but the execution of both Hay Day and Clash of Clans was excellent. Those two titles generate more revenue on iOS than EA's portfolio in the App Store. I didn't get into Hay Day but I genuinely enjoyed playing Clash of Clans. I like their mentality which is less focused on growth and more on talent/sustainability.
    Rovio did a good job on leveraging the popularity of Angry Birds. But they've got yet to prove that they can replicate that level of success. Actually it is highly unlikely that they can/anybody can. After dozens of far less succesful titles the stars aligned for them and they created this phenomenon. For me it's a question how long they can ride that out. I just hope they don't go for that IPO that has been rumoured for a while.

    Rovio has been more profitable than Zynga in 2012, but Rovio only made $195 Million. That looks like a lot of money (and certainly is) but Supercell made $175 Million in Q1 2013 alone. Japanese GungHo made $113 Million from IAP in April. These are the kings of mobile to me nowadays.

    There is the technical side and the insights that result from the mining. I'm pretty sure the game designers have access to this knowledge, because otherwise - what's the point?

    Indeed, they haven't even shown or talked about the MP yet, which I strongly assume is what these maps are for. At least I think I remember them announcing Back to Karkand after they'd started showing the BF3 MP.

    Anyway, I am happy that it's back to a Chinese setting ala BF2, so tired of the generic middle eastern locations~
