I'd be concerned about getting my knee stuck in the ogre's chin. "Oh FU..." <SPLAT>

Hahahaha! I'm really good at this!

Why is everyone so surprised? This is Todd McFarlane.

I didn't realize they made clownshoes out of plate armor.  On the other hand, they did manage to design one cool item. The not quite rectangular sword with the off center hilt. If it was a bit shorter it seems like something that could actually exist. |

The red thing looks like a cyclops to me... except the eye isn't directly over the nose. Maybe it's an ogre with eyes really close together.

Maybe it's a Parallaxean Cyclops.  |

I guess dark elves don't dance, because he'd impale his fucking partner with those knees. Seriously, WTF?
She. The armour has tits. Why is everyone so surprised? This is Todd McFarlane.
I had the same thought, except I thought "Salvatore" rather than McFarlane. |

Then they're no friends of mine. Plus, they wear hats. |

I saw this thread p near the top and assumed that the baseball player guy had posted again for a publicity bump.

Nah, Curt got sulky and stopped posting here. He posts semi-frequently at FOH. White knight ratio is higher I suppose.

I can't really blame him. Posting here isn't really going to do much to advance his agenda and I imagine his time is at a premium. |

Nice visuals, though not quite what I was expecting by those involved and the amount of cash to toss around. |

Well, his posts were pretty much just promotional with no actual content and he didn't really make an attempt to be a member of the community here as other devs have, so meh. Are his FOH posts as devoid of content as his f13 ones? Not that I really care. I'm just making conversation for the most part. |

I stopped paying attention to the thread over there. Every once in a while I skim through to see if anything worthwhile has been said, but as far as I can tell it's a lot of hinting with no payoff for the last 3 years.

The game has been shown behind closed doors to the press at the GDC (public display at Pax East, like I previously wrote). Previews: Joystiq: http://ow.ly/49FTPVG24/7: http://ow.ly/49FV7Gamespot: http://ow.ly/49FX4RPGamer: http://ow.ly/49FY9Eurogamer: http://ow.ly/49FZEIGN: http://ow.ly/49G11The official site has slightly been revamped with new official screenshots and concept art (just in case you wonder, the trailer is still the old one from August): http://www.reckoningthegame.com/(BIG IMAGE) --- They're still pretty vague; reading the impressions, it looks like they're going for a action-oriented combat system mixed with sandbox exploration of the world (you only pick the race but there are no classes, just "destinies"/talent trees to follow in order to shape your character). I like the art direction, it looks pretty vibrant to me and the monsters look quite detailed/unique. Aiming for a "Fall 2011" release date (I'm a bit skeptic on that front)...Going toe-to-toe with Skyrim? |

How do the graphics scale with lower power computer and laptops? That looks very pretty.

New trailer featuring in-game footage.(edited to add: the COPS pov ad that you may see is not, in fact, the new trailer)Article on Massively(I'm at work, so I watched it with the sound off.) It looks sweet. Spell effects and animations are a little over the top, maybe. I wonder how much of that will end up in the MMO. The trailer calls for a 2012 release.
