[quote who="Spooky" comment="1"]Also read this shocking story: http://gamingisstupid.com/2009/05/06/the-chair-story-revival/ [/quote] Nice "review" as usual from mr. zero punctuation. BTW, there's also now a clip of extended footage from an early Jason Hall Show episode of Jason Hall playing DNF. Anyone seen it so far?
Well, you know, success got to them, and they believed to be above I dont know, the reality of game development? Funny thing is that Scott Miller said that they would have sold the duke IP for 30 million if they had been offered that amount. Now instead, they are looking for business "partners", meaning someone that will fuel them with more millions for an indefinite amount of time. Good luck with that. BTW there are stores that still sell the Catacomb Abyss games, I
There's another new event in this unfolding drama. George Broussard came out of his hiding and now says 3D Realms isnt closing after all, and that the closing down news were just rumours. So he's now dismissing the rumours they started themselves. These people, much like DNF, are a joke.
While a very funny story, it was posted a long time ago, and back at that time, it was aknowledged to be a joke, nothing but a joke, but its creator, Charlie Wieder.
As everyone who reads game news sites, 3D Realms, the developers who popularized the "shareware" business model for promoting games, and made that classic FPS game Duke Nukem 3D over a decade ago, closed down their doors suddenly over a week ago. The annoucement caught everyone off guard, yes, including those cynical skeptics who "wondered why they lasted so long", and foreshadowed this from a mile away. After an apparently positive development outlook for their upcoming gam
Hmm, that would have to be a nocd made specifically for that game. There are some sites that host these nocds. I dont know if its against the rules here to post them, they arent difficult to find anyways. Just google the name of the game and nocd and youll be there. :)
cool program! It removed the last securom file from my computer, cmdlineext.dll. Thanks again!
Awesome! Ill try this utility tonight! thanks!
Well, they werent doing much of anything, except keeping the industry joke going, and eating fast food. :D
But no you are all just armchair idealists talking about how the perfect world would be... While you're trying to destroy it, cowardly enough to hide behind a proxy to download illegal copies of products. Imperfect as the world may seem, honesty is more about how you behave than think. You forgot to add and live happily after. If we all are idealists, we're not gonna change anything. Companies should adapt to the times. The

Well, you have to take account that since the ps2 shipped it was the first console to include a DVD player. It kinda brought together the gaming market and the more casual, DVD-viewing one. You could say gaming has matured, meaning that now any celebrity that doesnt know a thing about games now has their own game where they star on it. It's been opened to the big publics. Kinda like windows 95 was the first widely used windows system. Before that, only enthusiasts fidd
Hmm, i find difficult to understand your views seeing that you say that console games are trying to "imitate" pc games? Funny you say that, since, nowadays, most if not all big name titles are made first for the consoles and then months later ported to the pc as an afterthought. So in any case, it's the other way around, PC games struggle to imitate their console counterparts. Another thing i didnt understand is, you say you dont like the current gen consoles, yet you
[quote who="Dargoon999" comment="16"] Wing Commander I, II and III & IV (Kilrathi & Mark 'Skywalker' Hamil) - now we have huge budget for AAA-Titles, but something like Wing Commander doesn't exist anymore... very strange I agree, the Wing Commander games were very well done. I really dont understand why they never continued producing them. A new Wing Commander would sell like crazy. For that matter, why no new Tie Fighter or X-Wing games???<br /
[quote who="Star Adder" comment="9"] Due to the DRM crap on recent games I have spent the last two years re-playing old games. At a certain time I felt the urge to dig out n play Wizardry6 and 7. Was great fun despite the low level graphics. Same with Master of Magic. [quote] That's another reason why the older games are so attractive. They didnt include any draconian DRM schemes, and can be played decades after they were made
[quote who=" CmdoColin " comment="8"] I know GalCiv's history... but can some whisper a space 4x game that is kinda spelt the same way a cow makes noise... Number 1 please! I've never got my sticky mitts on the first. I got to play it once but want more! Most gamers would be
[quote who="Verkinix" comment="4] I'm still trying to find Alpha Centauri and its expansion. I really miss that game and I cannot for the life of me find my CDs. I would much rather have a digital copy anyway. Come on Impulse, dig up some of the classics and put em up for us to buy![quote] If they did so, they would be going directly against GOG!! (am i allowed to mention them here?) :D But, yes, there is a mar
[quote who="Jean" comment="3"] Oh yeah, good old games... I still remember the good time I had with Starflight I (still treasure the package, manual and map) - great SciFi-Game. Sadly, except from Starflight II, there was never a good successor in all the years. Or Elite III, huge galaxy with real star names and positions, great atmosphere - but sadly not much to do in that universe - where is Elite IV, V... ? The good old SSI AD&D RPGs (including Buck Rogers) - oh, how
Ah, last decade era space sims. For the real hardcore gamers of then and now. :D In a way some of the classics might be coming back, for better or worse. I hope it's for the better in Syndicate Wars, which is apparently going to get a sequel. 2 potential problems I see with it is a) EA is going to be doing it, and it's still not clear whether they will EA'd that title too, and b) Apparently too it's not going to be isometric, but rather first person. Fallout 3 anyone?
[quote who="CommanderAdama" reply="15" id="2118655"]If this is an experiment: It's pointless If this is for practical reasons: It's impractical and pointless. You can build a brand new pc for less than 300$ that will run better than two (or more) "upgraded" pcs combined. [/quote] So whats according to you the number of years cuttoff for a computer to still be upgradeable? I have an older computer, p4 3ghz with HT, 1.5gb
Ah, so the x1650 will work with no problems then.
Ah, you mean the Doom : Fall of Mars game, by if software. Yea, well, that's not directly what i was referring too, that's more of an interesting, very cool way to reinvent a game everyone knows like doom, giving it some twist. It just occurs that the game is an older one. I think it can find an audience, since this game wont probably be on retail shelves where all the "looks too 90's" crowd mostly hangs out. It will probably be mostly distributed online, where the majority
[quote who="JillUser" comment="15"] And actresses are pretty and play pretend as a career, what's your point? Is her opinion worth less than another gamer's because she's pretty, or a girl? [/quote] No, its not. It's not worth more than any other gamer either, just because she is, quoting someone from around here "an insular wannabe-hip internet celebrity", which she is.
