Star Trek: Discovery - First Look Trailer

The music kind of makes me think of the last two Deus Ex soundtracks, the rest reminds me of Mass Effect. That's not a criticism mind you, I like both of those.

"Give Life Back to Music" - Daft Punk Animated Music Video

teebeenz says...

Actually it was the Space core. Wheatley has a blue eye. Which means the video is before skyrim, yet after the mass effect events... making Skyrim in the far future. How Daft.

The Physics of Space Battles

artician says...

The first Mass Effect game had a fantastic writeup on combat in space, and why it was supposed to be a more anti-hollywood, incredibly boring event in that universe.
Most encounters could be resolved in seconds from hundreds of thousands of kilometers (well outside visual range), and it only took a single shot to end the encounter, either through instantly disabling critical systems, or overheating the heatsinks onboard (which were constantly venting excess cosmic and solar radiation as it was), causing any sort of energy shielding to be impractical for similar reasons.
Nearly all military encounters in space were ultimately stalemates, because things could be resolved so immediately and with such deadly finality, it forced the space-faring civilizations to ask questions first and shoot as a last resort. I can't remember the exact description, but essentially a "fight" in space was two or more opposing ships simply showing up and sitting around doing nothing until the situation resolved itself, or one side had clearly more guns than the other (but there may have even been reasons for why the latter result wasn't common either, but it's been so long I can't recall).
Regardless, I love that vision of space travel and hypothetical military maneuvers because it portrayed the reality of such events from a really hardcore scientific approach. Obviously the rest of the writing team was unable to work around those limitations, since the rest of that game and the rest of the series pretty much resorted back to the Star Wars formula almost immediately. I wish their writers had been as talented as the guy who constructed the universe and it's laws, because it was an amazingly refreshing take on sci-fi space travel.

DRAGON AGE: INQUISITION Gameplay Trailer - The Inquisitor

Jinx says...

Cool looking environments. I hope I don't find them recycled 20 times...

It seems pretty clear it won't be another DA:O, but I enjoyed all the Mass Effects even though they were clearly aimed at consoles. Seems that the only RPGs that get made exclusively for PC now are the MMO kind, which is a shame.

I'm trying to keep my expectations sufficiently low so that when it comes out I am pleasantly surprised.

DRAGON AGE: INQUISITION Gameplay Trailer - The Inquisitor

artician says...

Agreed. They've great pedigree, just the wrong decisions lately. I loved DA:O. Didn't touch the sequel simply because they threw away the main element that made it great for me (character-player-centric story.). I might play this, but as all games, try before you buy.
I enjoyed Mass Effect also. I have to look past the extreme production values, but overall the game was fantastic. I have weird tastes though, and today the first of that series was my favorite, while I'd completely checked out by the third installment. (and thus, wasn't as offended by the ending. seems like it was building up to that all along!) Regardless, won't be playing any future iterations, but it was good while it lasted.

MilkmanDan said:

Bioware has definitely been moving in the wrong direction. However, I may be a cockeyed optimist but I'm still holding out some hope for this one. OK, Baldur's Gate was a long time ago, but DA:O was a pretty worthy modern successor. DA2 then dropped the ball big time, but I'm still hoping this one can return to form at least partially.

That being said, the stuff I've read recently elsewhere makes me a little bit less optimistic...

Titanfall Gameplay video @ 1440p

VoodooV says...

except yeah...as neat as titanfall looks, like ChaosEngine mentioned. Consoles suck this generation because of their obession with gimmicks that have absolutely zero to do with games. And EA is a horrible company so if it requires Origin...

...then I guess I won't be playing it unless that changes. I still haven't played Mass Effect 3 because of Origin.

Thanks to Chris Roberts and Star Citizen...ive turned my back on consoles for the forseeable future

Mass Effect 3 And The Case For A Gay Shepard

Yogi says...

Mass Effect 3 sucks for an entirely different non gay reason. It nearly ruined the trilogy, it has not just a shit ending but a shit story altogether. Even the losers trying to save it by coming up with the indoctrination theory are grasping at stupid straws which the writers even pointed out.

It's like when people were trying to convince others that fucking Promethius wasn't confusing and didn't suck. It was confusing, hence peoples confusion, and it did suck because confusing movies fucking suck.
