Sweet..will take a closer look at the MMO. Thanks Monroeski!
I have been eyeing that one for a while (since they posted about it in the other Shadowrun kickstarter). An MMO that you can buy into and only pay for expansions/big quarterly updates seems like an interesting concept to me.
This is how Guild Wars 1 operated in its heyday. I presume Guild Wars 2 will follow the same model since there's no subscription fee.Quote:

I never gave Guild Wars a shot (was too enthralled with City of Heroes at the time). The time factor holds me back from an MMO. That and the huge backlog I have. Intriguing nonetheless.
I noticed it doesn't have anything about a tentative launch date or schedule. Don't MMOs take years to make? I don't know if I would want to get tied into an MMO kickstarter, especially with how the MMO market could be changing over the next year or so. Rumors are Blizzard is getting close to officially announcing Titan.Quote:

Castle Story's kickstarter went live today and is already 50% funded.
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...2/castle-story
ive lost faith in blizzard after D3... they know how to make a HIGHLY polished game with solid mechanics... but lately they have lost the ability to infuse their games with soul... much like Bioware. It doesnt matter for games like Starcraft where you need high polish and great gameplay but in an RPG i want good story and innovative detailsQuote:

Funded. Sitting at more than 150% now.Quote:

anyone gonna try out the occulus rift? http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...-into-the-game
i wonder what kind of ports it has and how well it works for standard viewing (monitor replacement, movies, etc)
I just saw John Carmack tweet about this saying it's going to be at QuakeCon this weekend. It sounds pretty damn awesome.Quote:

It would take $10M+ to get something like this into production.Quote:

Well, the kickstarter specifies that it is to fund dev kits, not the actual production model of the thing. Who the hell knows when they'll make this available for consumers.Quote:

The oculus looks really interesting, but I'd think that serious developers would want much more information than what is available on that kick starter page. I'd also think devs would want more concrete information on release dates and potential price points so they have deadlines to schedule for. There aren't any images of the "dev" package that will ship. Is it like the CAD images or is it some soldered up hack job?
This. This is the RTS I have been waiting for all my life.

I thought this looked interesting. Strategy of War. Like a Magic card game of modern military units.
*after reading the manual I decided to back the project. I can always cancel, but looks fun.
