I'm going to go with the wild speculation that they see Wildstar/Archeage as a threat and it's time to start the Project Titan hype machine FOR REALZ!   why so serious?

It's going to be a mobile game of some sort I think. Possibly a port or remake of something old.

So after months of suffering through increasingly annoying visual artifacting, video driver crashes, etc with my newish computer, I bit the bullet and swapped in a new graphics card, figuring it pretty much had to be a hardware problem since no driver could be THAT buggy. 

It is AMAZING how much easier cases have gotten.  While I had the thing open I wanted to move the HD over from my old system (which I've been meaning to do for a year now).  Opening the old Antec case up to get the drive out, while much nicer than PCs of ten years ago (drive cage slides out, rather than having to disassemble the entire case to get at the drive), was like opening the Lament Configuration compared to my newer Alienware.  Open door, pop drive directly into waiting bay, close door.  The case even has (battery-powered) lights that come on when you open the door so you can see what you're doing.

And so far the new card (GTX 650 Ti) seems to have completely fixed all the horrible problems.   DRILLING AND MANLINESS

I guess I'm getting old but I remember when Ghost was pointed to as an example of Blizzard's integrity, not their dishonesty.

So, I've always been (VERY) clumsy with gamepads and I feel a lot of modern joysticks are like bulky spaceships :P. A few days ago, I purchased this:



I'm trying it right now and it feels simply GREAT and solid.

What's also nice for a "gaming enthusiast" like me it's the AMIGA collection (that you can play via the already included and installed emulator) that comes with it (on some online shops you also find a version with C64 games). Among other titles:

- Some Cinemaware titles (It Came from the Desert, Defender of the Crown, TV Sports Basketball and Football, Lords of the Rising Sun. Surely the highlights of the collection!)
- Goal (Dino Dini sequel to Kick Off 2)
- Paperboy
- Grand Monster Slam

There are also re-mastered versions of Epyx's Summer and Winter games, but they only come in german language.

Finally I can start re-playing the Wing Commander saga (among other stuff) with a serious joystick   DRILLING AND MANLINESS Heart

Looks awesome Lucas.  That style of joystick was my favourie on the c64.   Mind you playing summer games is probably the quicker way known to kill a joystick

I preferred the ZipStick. Looks similar to the competition pro, just more awesome. Yellow, square buttons that seemed to be able to take more of a beating than the competition pro's, and could also survive being repeatedly thrown into walls. awesome, for real

So Saints Row 4 is coming on August 20.  Superpowers, aliens and you're the President.  It's seemingly more like SR3.5, as you got to use superpowers in one of the xpacks for 3 and it definitely looks really similar, but more Saints Row isn't a bad thing.

Whatever it is, I expect it to be beautiful and have a craptastic story.  Hey, look, another Blizzard game.  From the 1990's, when we didn't care at all about story lines.

The new speculation regarding Blizzard is that it's an online interpretation of the WoW TCG.  I might actually bite at that.

Let it be playable from inside WoW, put digital versions of the WoW prize cards in the booster packs. C'mon Blizzard, copy SOE one more time.

Two games announced which I would be excited about if I hadn't become so jaded:
-Might&Magic 10
-turn-based Warhammer 40K game

Might&Magics (not the heroes kind) have been some of my favorite games from the second one onward though by the ninth they had become trash and 40K as a turn-based strategy game could be awesome.

I completed M&M 7, avoided 8, didn't even know there was a 9.  Can't say I'm terribly excited about a new M&M.

Seems like a sure winner from the announcement, so the question is: How will they mess this one up? My money is on them making it "more accessible" by throwing the licensed unit graphics into a half-baked dumbed down ruleset. Popcorn

The 40k game is going to be "simultaneous release on iPad and PC" so I don't expect it to be tremendously complex.

EDIT: On the other hand I just realized who Slitherine is. Hmmm. Almost makes me wonder if it will be a strategic-level 40k game rather than unit-level, I don't think we've seen one of those ever?

While Slitherine's products haven't really amazed me so far, they atleast know how to make a proper turn based strategy game. I just hope they won't water it down too much to appeal to the main stream (and to make it work on ipad). I wish someone (like Paradox) would make a game like HoI2 that is either fantasy or scifi (with somewhat random events to replace the historical ww2 stuff)

Hmm, I wasn't aware of the name before, but it looks like you are right about them knowing their strategy. Still, I'll keep my expectations low and just see what the initial reviews say.
