Elex 2 Early German Review - Gamestar
(…)
- Decisions have a noticeable effect this time.
"This time?" Err, I thought that the first Elex was actually pretty decent, even better than a lot of other RPG. Unless they are talking about the very endgame??

It's German and auto translate on Goggle is a mess. Moriendor posted about the review.

They mention the world, exploration and atmosphere as positives and the story, presentation and combat as negatives.

The score is remarkably low for Gamestar who are known to be PB fanboys (for comparison they rated Risen 2 86%) and who constantly get exclusive dibs because of their excellent relationship with PB.

This reaffirms my intention to wait for a juicy discount. Shame about the story once more. I guess the only hope for people like me who value story is to wait for the day when Mr. Pankratz finally realizes that he is no Shakespeare junior and never will be :biggrin: .

SKALD: Against the Black Priory - Development Update
Quote:
Wait, what? Is it February already? All I can say is time flies when you're having fun. This update is a bit overdue but as always, if I'm a bit tardy in posting on the devlog it's because I'm making our dream game.

The new year has been a torrent of making cool plans, have Covid wreck it all and instead write awesome code!

Our big carrot of Q1 2022 was that Raw Fury and I were going to GDC in San Francisco to promote Skald. We always knew it was a risky prospect and as Omicron ramped up over Christmas we reconsidered and canceled the trip. And let me tell you: I'm almost glad we did!

At the moment, we’re dealing with the final steps for the demo that we call “0.1”: a demo for the team to play and check that everything is going according to the plan. So we’ll be testing and fixing the 0.1.

Once we’re happy with the result, we’ll be sharing the demo with the people that backed us on Kickstarter and the people that supported the project with a pre-purchase here on our website. That would be the demo “1.0” – remember we’re talking about the demo, not the final game… and not even an early access of the game.

They both come with unique mechanics, new equipment, new character backgrounds, their very own story events, and even a custom-tailored banner each. And because more variety is always nice, the DLC will add more than 50 new events in total to the game!

Dragon Age 4 Releases in Next 18 Months? - Eurogamer
Quote:
Development on BioWare's next big Dragon Age game is going well, and it should see release in the next 18 months. That's according to a fresh report on the game's production by Venturebeat journalist Jeff Grubb, which pegged its release to late 2023. Last month, reports appeared to rule out a 2022 release for the new Dragon Age, something which had - once upon a time - originally been on the cards.

Bethesda has got you covered. I know an insider who has described the game to me. The game takes 20 years to play. Not in game years, actual years. For the first 10, you don't have the money to do anything beyond grow plants in zero G environments, stuff like that.

Then you get to build prototypes. They all fail. The endgame is building your first probe and trying to avoid technical issues that ground it before or during launch. If you succeed, the probe will arrive at its destination, one of Jupiter's moons, in six years. The first DLC, to be released in 2028, is reading telemetry from the probe.

From BioWare to Beer: How Greg Zeschuk Makes Dreams Come True -WIRED
Quote:
As a medical student in the 1990s, BioWare cofounder Greg Zeschuk told his future wife that if he could, he’d make video games for a living. But he knew better than to plan his life around it. “It was a pipe dream,” is how he put it back then.

The story of how the pipe dream became a reality—one that saw BioWare turn out blockbuster games including Mass Effect, Baldur’s Gate, and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic before being sold to Electronic Arts along with another company for $860 million in 2007—is something of a folk legend in Edmonton, Alberta, where Zeschuk has spent most of his life.

Now Zeschuk, 53, is living another dream: He’s started a brewing company, Blind Enthusiasm, and he runs two microbreweries, the Market and the Monolith, along with a restaurant, Biera, which is considered one of the hottest eateries in his hometown.

Master of Magic Remake - February 2022 Developer Diary
Quote:
The Magic of Master of Magic

This month we decided to go back to the beginning as it were and talk about what exactly makes Master of Magic magical? And the answer of course is spellcasting.

Over 200 Spells

Firstly, there are so many different types of spells. There are resistance spells, buffing spells, battle spells and global spells that can affect the whole world, terrain changing spells, curses, damage dealing blasts, crowd control, transforming spells, creating objects, summoning creatures and/or heroes, buffing the Wizards themselves, making your towns more efficient/or making your enemies towns suffer the list goes on. And even within these types of spells, there are unique characteristics and effects. For example, while some spells share a simple and common mechanic, like summoning spells - they pretty much do what they say on the can, they summon things, but even they can sometimes surprise you.

Next week we're going to release an update that will be focused around making the game functional on Steam Deck and Proton in general. The game might still not be as comfortable to play on Steam Deck as we are not going to implement a specialized UI or gamepad controls right now. That's a bigger undertaking that will have to wait until I've cleared some of my Infusion development schedule.

Valve would help Microsoft put Game Pass on Steam - PCGamer
Quote:
Will we ever see Game Pass on Steam? Audio player loading It was a big moment for PC gaming when Microsoft stopped releasing its games exclusively through the Microsoft Store and started putting them on Steam. It wasn't every Microsoft game at first, but now it's gone that directionjust three days ago Bethesda announced it was dropping its own launcher and releasing everything on Steam going forward. But Microsoft also has Game Pass, a subscription service that's grown to millions of subscribers across Windows and Xbox, and those games notably still run out of its own app, not Steam. When I spoke to Valve president Gabe Newell about the Steam Deck last week, I asked him if Valve is interested in its own subscription service, or whether we could see Game Pass games on Steam in the future.

Production Problems With 'Dragon Age 4' Keep On Growing - Cracked
Quote:
Saying that Dragon Age 4 has been through a troubled development would be something between a draconian and a massive understatement. I'd like to attribute this to a curse cast upon the company for telling a story that paints an Inquisition of any sort as the good guys, but Bioware's problems started long before when EA swallowed the company. This acquisition resulted in the absolute destruction of the Mass Effect series, as well as the incredibly messy stillbirth of Anthem, Bioware's once upcoming big new series. Dragon Age 4 remains the last beacon of hope for Bioware, and things don't look great.
Hidetaka Miyazaki Sees Death as a Feature, Not a Bug - NewYorker
Quote:
The video-game director Hidetaka Miyazaki, who’s in his late forties, has punished more players than perhaps anyone else. In Dark Souls, the 2011 fantasy game that made him famous, you play as a loin-clothed wretch, racing through sewers and cowering in forests. You’re attacked by a giant wolf, pugilist mushrooms, mephitic swamps, and a sword-wielding spider. If you fail to parry an aggressor’s lunge, or tumble off a rampart, you’re greeted by a superfluous message: “You Died.” After it fades, you’re reincarnated beside a bonfire, one of a series of checkpoints scattered throughout this mysterious, vaguely medieval world. Every one of your enemies has re-spawned, too..
