Evening Reading
by Jeff Mattas, Feb 03, 2011 5:00pm PSTNamco Bandai's IGNITE event in San Francisco turned out to be pretty interesting, full of new game announcements for 2011 and beyond. Some of the biggest news stemmed from the publisher's new relationship with From Software. In fact, the event kicked off with new trailers for Armored Core V and Dark Souls, which are making their way around the internet now. Those attending the event were even treated to a live demo of some Dark Souls gameplay, which (fans of Demon's Souls will be pleased to note) seems to be headed down the path of the bigger, better, and more devious.
And don't worry, while Dark Souls is a spiritual successor to Demon's Souls, rather than a direct sequel, we've been promised more of the hardcore, tactical-action based hack-and-slash that made the first game such a breakthrough success. The developers also seemed to quite proud to continue the tradition of killing you repeatedly, explaining that they expect some players to "start laughing because they're dying so much."
I'll chat with Garnett and Jeff about it a bit more on this Friday's episode of Weekend Confirmed, so tune in for more details.
And, in case you missed it:
If you were in Beta 5, you should be getting a confirmation email that Beta 6 is available to you. Emails are slow going out, but they are coming. If you played in Beta 5 you should be getting an invite for Beta 6. Once you see your email, login and patch up, it's about 165 megs.

If you want to be a guild officer at launch, we can always use volunteers. It's mainly for maintenance, etc and not prestige. All members can accept/turn in guild requests, officers will have a few additional abilities like invites/demoting, etc. If someone wants to specifically be in charge of Raids for end game content and has experience doing this, speak up. I have zero desire to handle Raid content and want someone with a passion for it. People with alpha or beta experience tend to be best for this kind of thing and I prefer the LotRO method of running a guild which is high on help/fun and low on stupid/drama.

I think there has to be room for all pursuits but a zero tolerance for assholes.
