A new story entry has been added:
[drupal=700]New Brink Coverage: Crossplayer, Previews, and Interviews[/drupal]

Coverage from PAX Prime and gamescom continues, bringing us a whole new batch of previews and interviews today.
First though, let’s stop at The Escapist, where multiplayer has been the theme this week. Among other things, they’ve put together an interesting editorial titled Crossplayer is the Future, which is all about merging single player and multiplayer. Brink is one of the games mentioned, and it’s a great read on where games could be headed over the next couple of years.
Now, let’s see what previews and interviews we’ve got for you today, shall we?

As always the tags mess up with the forums, good sir. :slight_smile:

Heh. Yeah, I was disappointed that the post was a grand total of just three stories b4.

Although not Richard’s fault, Machinima’s interview was lame. Game Thingie finally asked some great questions would’ve loved more of that.

From The Nerdiest Kids article:
“There will, of course, also be standard multiplayer modes like Deathmatch and King of the Hill.”

Is this accurate, or is the author just wrong? I really hope those “standard” modes aren’t included.

Too bad the word “Crossplayer” is out there already. I would like to have nipped that one in the bud and instead used the word “Omniplayer” for example. Crossplay-er has too much baggage. lol

The Game Thingy interview is indeed, good! Very enjoyable.

But given time I think this will become the norm. even at a cheap, ****ty B-movie knock-off, most of those movies have more to say about the human condition that most video games.
Finally someone said it. THANK you.

I keep waiting for the WWII game that takes matters so seriously that it lets us play a Nazi. I think that would be incredible and it would be very eye-opening for people.
We can do you one better. Thanks to EA and Danger Close (a developer name infiinitely better than “Respawn Entertainment”, but not as good as “Splash Damage” :smiley: ), now you can play as the Taliban!

And we wanted it to be in languages from all over the world. We have a very multinational company, we have about 20 – 30 different nationalities in Splash Damage, so we just started asking some guys: hey, just give us some revolutionary phrases in your own languages. So we went through them and we realised that a lot of guys were throwing in real-life revolutionary messages from all these different groups. And we though, we are not going to do that! Because, you know, that’s taking it too far.
Every time I read about the global village nature of Splash Damage, I find myself wishing I worked there. It is good to know that whatever languages might be represented in the art or tattoos, will probably be coherent, if not the actual phrases used in various political coups all over the world.

It’s out there already and means the same thing with the exception that one usage breaks gaming norms and another, cultural norms.

(3Suns) #9

Yep. Too late. :mad:

Multi+Single=Mingleplayer.

The word was already coined by someone from SD, it deserves the same amount of promotion as SMART.

(BioSnark) #11

take out the first “L” and I’m with you.

@tokamak

The Game Thingie interview is just a portion of the interview with Richard Ham, so the rest will be published as soon as possible. I’ll try not to forget to mention the link on this forum when it goes online :slight_smile:

Mass extinctions have served as huge reset buttons that dramatically changed the diversity of species found in oceans all over the world, ffxiv gil, according to a comprehensive study of fossil records. final fantasy xiv gil, The findings suggest humans will live in a very different future if they drive animals to extinction, because the loss of each species can alter entire ecosystems. ffxiv gil, Some scientists have speculated that effects of humans - from hunting to climate change - are fueling another great mass extinction. ffxiv gil, A few go so far as to say we are entering a new geologic epoch, leaving the 10,000-year-old Holocene Epoch behind and entering the Anthropocene Epoch, ffxiv gil, marked by major changes to global temperatures and ocean chemistry, increased sediment erosion, and changes in biology that range from altered, ffxiv gil, flowering times to shifts in migration patterns of birds and mammals and potential die-offs of tiny organisms that support the entire marine food chain. ffxiv gil, Scientists had once thought species diversity could help buffer a group of animals from such die-offs, ffxiv gil, either keeping them from heading toward extinction or helping them to bounce back. wow gold, But having many diverse species also proved no guarantee of future success for any one group of animals, given that mass extinctions more or less wiped the slate clean, Louis Vuitton Handbags, according to studies such as the latest one.
