OT: Video Game Thread: Part One

[landsbergfan]

Anyone play warcraft? I just got an add on insta that they are remastering Warcraft III. That is one of my favorite games of all time that I still play every once in a while, but recently has been too hard to find matches. I am legit excited

EA is also remastering C&C 1 (with all the expansions) and Red Alert 1 (with all the expansions) and it's in production with a bunch of ex-Westwood devs. Can't f***ing wait. As for above, I am way more of a C&C/Red Alert fan than WC.

Also terrible at those games but the theme for Red Alert was BADASS.

That’s going back — I used to play Warcraft 3 a bit in HS 20 years ago.

Love that. I started with Red Alert 1 and 2. Loved those games. Got hooked on WCIII and just really fell in love with the concept of the hero. Made the games a lot more fun.

There’s a South Park joke in there somewhere.

Petroglyph Games, the ones whom EA is working with on these remasters, are made up of a bunch of ex-Westwood Devs, including Frank Klepacki, who did the sound tracks for a lot of C&C games. Frank also did Red Alert games and did both Hell March 1 and 2.

“I would never replace you with a super cool cowboy western game! I can’t believe you’d even think that, hon. Oh, hey, by the way, can you get me the bedpan? You’re the best.”

In the links connected to that, I got this one for some reason. He is utterly mesmerizing.




EDIT: I'm completely incapable of turning it off. I can't stop watching. Send help.

I've moved on from Blizzard games in general, but I can't wait to try this again. I'm going to be awful after not having played in years.

I believe I saw there will be mapmaking tools. This of course means I have to try DotA, Legion TD, Footies, etc. I'll probably retreat pretty quickly, but it will be a glorious couple of weeks.

So I made my Black Friday/Steam Autumn sale purchase and bought Command: Modern Air / Naval Operations, a hardcore naval warfare simulator in the mold of the good old Harpoon series. Some call it a videogame, some call it a way of life. Only time will tell how I will feel about it.

I fart at the general direction of your Spider-mans and Red Dead Redemptions.

 

[The Rage Kage]

So hyped for this.

the happy trees get me every time.

Same. Looks so damn good.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Dat Mortal Kombat trailer doe.

 

[Amorgus]

So hyped for this.

I haven't seen or heard about that at all! I immediately thought "Is this going to be Fallout in space?" and then they showed the creators and I went "YAY IT IS!"

 

[bauer]

So hyped for this.

that looks incredible. like a mix of Mass Effect and Fallout.

 

[trostol]

So hyped for this.

was the best thing from the game awards last night

Haven't watch it yet myself, but here is some gameplay footage of The Outer Worlds:

 

[Amorgus]

I'm very conflicted over what should've been amazing news to me. After too long a wait, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 is finally coming out. But it's being published by Nintendo instead of Activision (making it a Switch exclusive) and developed by Team Ninja instead of Raven Software. If you change all the companies involved, how can it count as a sequel and how different will it be from the other games?

 

[kudymen]

random thought: I still remember how I felt after watching the very first trailer for the first BioShock. I sat quiet in complete awe for minutes afterwards

 

[Young Sandwich]

Damn, I had to dig pretty deep to find this thread again...

Anyone been playing Apex Legends yet? It's pretty damn fun when you get a full squad going. It's like a mishmash of different games: Battle Royale like Fortnite, futuristic like Halo, fast-paced shootouts like COD, and classes with different perks like Battlefield.
