Hello, everyone.
I rather wanted to put everything into my newi9sh blog, but right now I'm too tired for that.
And I'm sooooooooo tired right now there might be several mistakes in grammar, spelling, thinking and others.
I talked too long with someone from Bethesda about New Vegas, which resulted in a few unpleasant things :
- I missed the last Dungeon Siege III presentation for 2-3 minutes and couldn't get in
- I missed the last chance to get into the Dragon Age area as well
- the SW:TOR area was closed anyway (they've got an impressive trainer & wall painting there, photo comes tomorrorow)
The English-speaking Italian woman from Bethesda said that New Vegas is basically kind of an "Fallout 4", as she put it
new are
- story
- "hardcore mode"
- skills, you can combine two skills into 1, that's "more powerful" then, but also the only one left of both
I played new vegas a bit, and it looked quite cool, imho. The room wherein it could be played also looked a bit like a small casino, complete with 50s style framed pip-boy paintings on the wall.
German version of game will - if I understood it correctly - very little blood. ("Cut" vs. "uncut" discussion with another player.)
26th of October, if I remember correctly.
Hunted is a dark and grim looking RPG, action, RPG, and what's new about it is the co-op mode. It ain't no multiplayer, it ain't no SP game (although you can play it as such), but in its core it's a 2 player co-op game, featuring a female archer and a male swordsman who want to find out - as the perhaps oly survivors of a devastating catastrophe - what's going on and what has happened.
Kalypso showednot only The Patrician IV, but also a role-playing game in very early state called "The First Templar". Everything looks grim, and totally devoid of any cllourful colours, so to say. You play a Templar Knight fighting and finding things out, also very action-oriented, they say.
It's in a so far very early state that the shown version was "the first playable one", and story etc. were missing. The demo consisted of a few fights and I think that was it. At least I didn't come very far.
Kalypso also had "Dungeons", a game with a direction a bit similar to the famous Dungeon Keeper.
The game appeared to me to be early, too, but basically everything worked.
The difference between Dungeon Keeper and Dungeons is that you don't throw Heroes out, no, you lure them IN !
Goal is to get them in - for exploiting. Heroes are killed, and their money and their items, too ? are in principle the Dungeon Master's income.
Other bits …
… Drakensang 2 Add-On was playable. I enjoyed it.
… Venetica and Drakensang 2 just don't find American Publishers ! It is so that they were indeed trying hard to get a publisher for both games - but no-one wants them !
It seems so American Publishers only wanting Action games. Yes, really ! Obviously is is so that in the U.S. everyone seems to want only action games, action RPGs. And since both Drakensang 2 & Venetica aren't both too much (lack of action), no-one wants them in the U.S. … Sad.
… There's a far overwhelming amount of online games out there. As a very, very rough guess I'd say that about 60 % of all PC games shown there were online games.
… played Raving Rabbits Time Machine a little bit - and got a rabbit figurine ! Hurray !
… played Darkspore. Oh yes, that strange RPG by EA.
It clearly plays like an mindless action-RPG like by Blizzard or by Westwood (Nox).
It can be played solo, but it also is (or rather is ?) an online game. You whack & kill kritters, and collect their energy & DNA.
The setting is totally alien. No fantasy, no sci-fi (although parts of buildings very much look like sci-fi t least in the part I played), but no resemblence (right spelled ?) to anything you know. A kind of Spore (from the game) creating engine is said to be included as well. And ou have not 1 but 3 critters you play for yourself.
… Jagged Alliance Online was announced, but not shown nor playable.
Okay, that's it for now. Need sleep.
Not being able to see Dragon Age 2 really bugs me. I'm seriously thinking of going there tomorrow, too.

Edit : Played Mafia II too a bit. Looked good, but I can't judge since I have no experience with earlier Mafia games. Played like a gamgster movie, though.
Other players had extreme difficulty with driving cars especially at high peed and crashed constantly. Good hit !
One could let the character go into a snack bar (or what it was) and let the character eat a sausage (what was the word … ? ah, yes, hot dogs !)
Also played the start of Bigpoint's "Poisonville" a bit. No-one there to ask&answer about Drakensang Online or so. But Poinsonville very clearly shows that they are capable of doing 3D online games. Only that the graphics looked a bit dull, but maybe that was because of the nighttime (breaking out from jail).
