These Pokeymans are why I can't do a system transfer to my new 3DS.

The issues with the Nintendo Network are continuing into Boxing Day, and Nintendo has now disabled Pokémon Bank and withdrawn it from the 3DS eShop in Japan — the online service launched on Christmas Day in the region, and has been revealed as part of the cause of the downtime worldwide.

RPGCodex preview of Might&Magic 10 actually seems pretty positive and makes me seriously consider buying the game at release (despite all my reservations).  awesome, for real

I finally registered a bunch of the new Nintendo things today, and looks like all the good items are unavailable.  Either they didn't stock many of these new items, or Nintendo sold a shitload of games and systems.

So remember how Aliens: Colonial Marines killed Alien games?

I guess not?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXFBsvg61f0

Basically Sega and Creative Assembly decided hey let's try it again! Only instead of a shooter it's now Amnesia: With an Alien. One alien, no weapons, big ship. I mean, sounds cool but do they expect to recoup the budget with a completely niche genre title?

There's literally like 20-something zombie games and a dozen+ "survival" games in that list. Then there's like a half dozen minecraft knockoffs. Great innovation we have coming up here.

Why do people want to make just multiplayer medieval combat games with absolutely no single player world? I mean I would love to play the War of the Roses stuff or Chivalry or the like combat in a single player story game.

I think I could play zombie survival games forever, provided they are good.  The concept somehow pushes all my buttons.

Of course, they won't all be good, nor even most of them.  And just like with everything else they will start making them all multiplayer/MMO only and totally kill the genre.

TIL: Notch is working on the new Age of Wonders. I liked the old one, so this is interesting to me. I'm not sure what he brings to the table, but I'm happy there is a new iteration coming out.

Too bad about where Thief is heading (again). That franchise should share more with Amnesia than an FPS.

Yah, the first guy got to Tyson.  The next guy up did the SNES Super Punchout and beat it blindfolded.  One shot every fight I believe.

Last night they had some guy that I recognized from the LoL scene (Studio.  He used to cast minor tourneys and was on some second tier pro teams) doing a Half-Life 2 speed run.  That shit was crazy.  It's like 95% abusing physics and clipping in the source engine.

AI is hard.

Content in general is hard.  Maps, quests, dialogue, it's all a black hole that you pour years of development time into.  But a multiplayer shooter can get by just fine with ten maps, six character models, and a soundtrack that consists entirely of one song you hear on the title menu.  It's trickier to balance, certainly, but it's a quality vs. quantity thing at that point.  A big AAA studio will have a way easier time hiring enough artists to generate a map for Skyrim, but balance testing isn't something you can throw people at as easily.

It's part of the reason why there are so many minecraft clones and quote "roguelike" games where the only real roguelike element is a randomly generated world.  Big worlds are a masive pain to generate by hand.

There is a company called "Superdata" that apparently tracks digital online sales. I've never heard of them before, so I'm not sure how much stock to put in this:



The top game is a Korean shooter I've never heard of, which I suppose means it made nearly a billion dollars without any presence in NA or EU. WoW is making a ton of money, as this apparently only shows revenue from microtransactions, not subscriptions. SWTOR is standing toe to toe TF2, and again that's without subscription fees.
