Console job postings for D3 have been up for awhile. As long as it doesn't interfere with the PC version, I don't care about a console port.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #4444 on:** February 17, 2011, 03:53:30 PM »

I'm not sure why the genre never really caught on, on consoles outside of the UI thing. Games like the marvel series, and the xmen games where you run around and beat people up and get gear, show that console gamers are into the lighter version of that genre. I think they would be into the deeper version of it too ala Dragon Age.

archie4208 · « **Reply #4445 on:** February 17, 2011, 04:01:52 PM »

It is a niche genre, even on PC. There haven't been many loot games recently outside of Torchlight and Din's Curse. Secondly, the genre king hasn't made a contemporary appearance on consoles yet. (Yes, I know there was a PS1 version of Diablo, but that was nearly 13 years ago)

I think its probably an under servered market on the PC within the last 5 years or so. I think that's part of the reason why Torchlight was such a hit. Along with the pricing of course.

But yeah the fact that the best one in Diablo 2 never made an appearance on consoles does probably have something to do with that on the console side.

Baldur's Gate Deadly Alliance

Yeah those games kind of went away for some reason which I don't understand. I thought they sold decently at least. I really liked those games.

Activision hasn't even announced a new Marvel Ultimate Alliance or X-men game recently.

The Dark Alliance series died with Interplay, although the two Champions of Norrath games are spiritual successors.

Maybe. I remember hearing something about them having to pull a dlc for the second game or something due to license issues.

Spector: “negative interest” in linear games
Deus Ex and Epic Mickey creator Warren Spector has said his interest in completely linear games is less than zero, and if it comes to that, he’ll quit making games.

“I have negative interest in working on any game that doesn’t offer players choices with consequences,” Spector told GameInformer.

“If it ever comes to pass that I can’t make games [with significant choice],” he continued, “No one will fund them, players vote with their dollars and tell me they don’t want games like that, whatever – I’ll stop making games. End of story.”

Hey Warren. Why don't you worry about just making "good" games what ever form they take because you really seem to be struggling with that recently.

GR: In the last few years DQ has become really focused on handheld releases. Do you worry you’re leaving consoles behind?

YH: No, the series got its start on consoles, so we aren’t thinking that way, especially since we’re working on Wii versions of Dragon Quest right now.

GR: Lastly, when looking at what’s been remade so far, Dragon Quest VII would be the next logical release. What do you think of that?

YM: Another good question. (Laughs) When the time comes…

does any of you guys has ever played kingdom of loathing? it's a comical browser rpg made with stick figures but well here's the thing,recently another game in the same vein got released and it's pretty funny,you get to beat a monster called "spongeblob" and you enter a pirate ships which is full of pierats (which are pirate rats inside various cakes) and you fight a bazooka wielding goat and at a certain point you get help from admiral snackbar who proclaim that "IT'S A SNACK!" and there is this guy

i wish this was a real game

but give it a spin anyway

The problem I have with TTT2 is that Tekken seems the same as it was 5 years ago and is just boring these days. I mean did you guys all have a great time with Tekken 6? Because I barely touched it, just like Tekken 5. Tekken 4 was the last time Tekken was interesting because it actually changed up a lot of things (admittedly some for the worse).

Can't get interested in TTT2. Maybe when it's like $20 I'll play it for a week.

Does you're monitor have DVI? That would be better than VGA since hdmi is esentually the same output as DVI.

and ya you can. Just get an adapter. though you are going from digital to analog so the adaptor is expensive; the price of the converter would probably be better spent getting a new monitor, yikes.
