More on Anachronox & Win2k

I just watched the trailer, and I must say I am EXTREMELY impressed. They've got a guarenteed sale here, as soon as I can make it to the store.

You haven't lived till you've heard Tom Hall sing the Rescue Rover theme song... maybe if we all ask real nice he'll record it for us?

Tom? I know you're reading!

The one question remains, does Anachronox = $ Bling $ Bling $ for Ion Storm ? Anachronox/Deus Ex own, Anachronox 2?/Deus Ex 2 will own ... really hope Ion Storm stays in business because Warren Spector/Tom Hall are gaming geniuses. I can't say I hate Planet Romero because he did work at id for a long time and without such classics as Dangerous Dave and Slordax the gaming world would be in absolute turmoil. Oh yeah and all things considered Quake was the best FPS ever made and he did work on that. But he still has a site called Planet Romero... and when are we gonna see clubs called Slutopia? I been workin on the rail road, all the live long day.

Oh my, how can one forget. Anyone remember Rescue Rover? No? It was fun. That son of a fucking bitch ALWAYS took my dog and i'm just like where the hell did he go? And then I'm in this giant maze like place doing all sorts of crazy shit to get my dog back. I don't get why people complain about realism in games because folks this is as real as it gets. Just the other day a robot took my dog and I had to go through many pushing/pulling puzzles to get it back. Actually I just let the dog out and decided to jack off for a while and eventually it came back. But it's all in the same context. Fuck I don't even have a dog. STOP LYING!

I was right, back to pokemon and porn. Yay for Anachronox! I buy your game and play it! If there is lots of nakey me...girls running around, or bouncing

Well, I for one am definitely giving this game a chance. Anything that can give the PC the feel of a console RPG is worth a shot in my book.

You negative so and so's.

THE GAME HAS TO BE GOOD! look at the name of the club

After watching the trailer my thoughts are:

1. Graphics are "meh"
2. Q2? OMFG!!! that's some damn nice work, I'm impressed, seriously, these graphics are awesome for a Q2 engine game
3. what's the gameplay like? looks kinda like a Final Fantasy game in the Q2 engine, which begs the question: is pointless leveling the main excuse for gameplay?
4. Thank goodness for EB, I'll be grabbing this one soon and returning it if it sucks...which hopefully it won't... :)

2 simple reasons why I won't give this game a chance.

1. NO multiplayer...
2. ION Storm


Thanks!!1

Now Pokemon Gold, there's a good game. With the right emulator you can size your window nice and good and then have your browsers open and look at all the porn you want. Coupled with the sarcasm and humor that has invaded the Pokemon world you will feel right at home being yelled at by little kids and be told by hot girls how weak you are! Another feature that I do envy is that you can be mean to your pokemon, thus making them hate you. And hey, we've all been hated before; right? But there is something truly horrific when you go to a message board to brag about your level 106 WEED WHORE and some little 12 year old kid named "NoPika4U" flames you for mispelling certain Pokemon names. I just play it really so I have an excuse to look at porn and beat the shit out of little kids and name my enemies obscene names. Yes, I guess this makes me a bit of a loser but my mom took my copy of Freddi Fish 5: The Case of Coral Cove...now that game has some truly great gaming moments. Anachronox rules.

I guess this is what the game scene has turned into. A bunch of hopeless idiots trying to figure out why they can't find their perfect game or something fun. Graphics this, sound effects this, etc .... you even know what makes a good game? I'm sure you all have 1.7ghz machines and you can play Putt Putt goes to the moon in 16-bit color but jesus fucking christ. Why is it every single post you ever see now is either a needless flame or bashing someones good work. You never know what will suck and what won't suck but how can you sit there on your fat idiot asses and wait 2-3? years for a game and then after you slop some lotion on your cocks and whack off to some counter strike you go and post what YOUR GODLY OPINION is and that's why there is no intelligent gamers out there anymore. Ask someone if they like Quake, guaranteed a large percentage of them will say "OH ITS AN OLD STUPID GAME AND ID RATHER PLAY HALF LIFE BECAUSE ITS GOOD..." Yes I dislike Half-Life, it has good graphics but the gameplay is sorely lacking. Give me Team Fortress any day of the week over that shit TFC, give me a good solid single player game LIKE Anachronox any day over something the wonderful mass has decided is "Suck." Not flaming anyone in particular and this isn't a needless flame but I just really don't get why people can't criticize things constructively anymore. GIVE IT A CHANCE !!!! AHHH I FORGOT TO SCRAP THIS AND NOW I POSTED IT AND FEEL DUMB PLEASE SORRY GUYS I DIDNT MEAN TO BE SO MENA ITSJ UST THAT I DONT KNOW WHERE I AM RIGHT NOW AND ITS A HORRIBLE SITUATION OK? PLEASE BUT JUST UNDERSTAND IT WILL BE FUN AND I DONT WORK AT ION STORM !!! IM FAT TOO!!!! I DONT EVEN HAVE ANY LOTION!!! I CANT AFFORD COUNTERSTRIKE! WHAT IS PUTT PUTT GOES TO THE MOON!??!?! GOD HELP ME DOOLY JONKERS!

Multiplayer is gay also anyways, in single player you can alt tab and look at porn and no one cares but in multiplayer people wonder why you aren't doing anything and are just standing still not typing. And then when you come back you have found a good picture to "look" at so you say brb, my cat fell down the stairs. When you are halfway through looking at the picture you alt tab back in and see that your clan has lost a very important match because you were too busy looking at porn. And this is why multiplayer games aren't good, well there is nothing wrong with looking at porn, it's just that who wants to play multiplayer when you got all that lovely porn at your palm tips? And in EverQuest you can't alt tab so I quit, well I didn't quit but I don't play when I want to look at porn. In fact even in single player games without pause you can't look at porn. What has the world come to...

This game is probably going to have a few bugs and annoyances to go along with the dated graphics, and it's likely going to take a lot of shit over those problems, but I'll bet theres actually a really good game under there.

I hope it's good but I consulted The Magic EightBall and it said "My Sources Say No" when asked if Anachronox will be a good game.

The Magic EightBall is never wrong.

More on ION Dallas closing rumor update by Gwog

There's a new article out talking about the rumored closing of ION Storm's Dallas office by Eidos if Anachronox is not a big success. This article features a quote from Eidos CEO Mike McGarvey:

We've made no public statement about Dallas yet, but the truth is a lot of money went in and not much came out. I'm sure those guys will be making games in the future, but whether or not it's with us remains to be seen.
PlanetDaikatana extends best wishes to the developers who worked long hours on ION Storm's games, and we hope that this rumor turns out to be false.

-------------------

Me thinks someone might actually be sucking the barrel of a gun in a few weeks.

Duh duh duh DIE Kuh tanna!

I am waiting to hear the news about a certain Ion Storm employee committing suicide.

Daikatana didn't work right off the bat with Win2k... why shouldn't this game follow in those same glorious footsteps?

hehe

How many people here have played it yet? It's available at my local EB (Detroit-area), but I'm not going to pick it up until I hear some solid impressions and reviews.

- disable 3d sound / EAX

Why am I not surprised...

Cool. I'll go ahead and pick this up on Friday I believe.

Hey
