I wonder if they will manage a simultaneous launch this time. Or will they delay it again
they had a small team working on it since 2 launched, mostly designers and writers and a team of programers working on the new engine improvements and underlying tech. While the rest of the teams cranked out Brotherhood and Revelations. Full production with all the content creation, 8 full studios etc probably started ramping up while they were finishing off Revelations late last year tho.
It is a smart way to develop games, it means you don't get into situations like FF ...
at 720p (the resolution the console versions will run at) it's more like 460 pixels per guy if they filled the entire screen, but as the trailer showed at most it's probably around 25-50% of the screen so 115-230 pixels per character.
most likely like the scene from the trailer, models so small that they can be really low detail and all use the same basic animations etc.
It looks cool and is still an amazing feat in engineering.
It's basically the same technique that the Total War games use to do their 5000 man battles.
The fact that they are already planning day one DLC while the game is a year off is what makes me not want to buy the game. All that content should be part of the game wher/whenever I buy the game.
EA could learn a thing or 2 from CD Projekt
meh, might pick it up in a sale
No it's Bethesda Softworks (publishing arm), which is owned by ZeniMax Media group, which also owns Bethesda Game Studios (makers of the Elder Scrolls games) and also several other development studios.
ZeniMax Media is the parent company but decisions about publishing are handled by their publishing arm (Bethesda Softworks. ZeniMax is more of a board of investors.
I know it's complicated
Source?
Well screen tearing and frame-rate shouldn't be a problem with the PC version. As long as they don't screw it up like the first game on PC that had a few issues of it's own.
TellTale are working on the Walking Dead game, a game based on Fables and a King's Quest game.
It is all public knowledge
As long as they don't screw it with DRM
I am surprised more developers haven't tried that model yet. I guess they are waiting to see if Project CARS is successful. It seems like a good platform for crowd funding games to me.
You these are the kinds of developers we should be supporting.
Vanquish please
Is Dark Souls a game you play for story? Why not just play a story focused game instead there are plenty of them.
Wow DAII must have really bombed, I knew the fan reaction was bad. But to have it sell so bad that retailers didn't want to stock an ultimate edition?
Day 1
I never understood people like you, what is the point?
I hope it delivers, I liked the first game but there is plenty of room to improve. Darksiders II looks to bigger and better in every way so far, I just hope their ambition doesn't get the better of them.
that and THQ need a hit desperately, and not just a minor hit which turns a profit.
F2P model confirmed then I guess
