General Discussion / Re: Where do you think the future of gaming lies?

« on: August 01, 2013, 12:13:03 am »

Popular media will always bring major AAA titles to the forefront; indie games will never rise to the occasion except in rare cases (they just do not have the marketing, not even word of mouth imo).  The cycle will continue, even with PS4 and Xbox One getting independent games.  While there may be more "create your own game" types coming, the heavy hitters like Battlefield, Assassin's Creed, etc. will have spiritual successors (I'm looking at you two, Watch Dogs and Titanfall) and will keep the AAA titles going.  More games will continue to have more morality/story branches, be more personal (by that I mean personalized for the player, more RPG elements) and cross-genre. (think Destiny by Bungie).   More mature titles will keep blurring the lines between games and movies (Last of Us, Beyond: Two Souls, etc).   MMORPGS will find a permanent home on consoles, and eventually cross play between anything including pc.  Honestly though, MMORPGS need a stimulant boost like crazy.  They need to take their norms and multiply them by 1000.  Everything is the same or becomes the same after a month of play, hence my term of nomads.  Further down the road who knows for sure, what's going to take hold next, is it going to be super-realism, virtual reality ,3D (again),  or something else?

You can remove Space Marine, though a few of us do play it every few weeks. Its considered part of Dawn of War series.

look down in our other forum for the actual Company post about Light vs. Dark ~ http://www.royalblackwatch.net/forums/index.php?topic=6093.0 ~ the RBW is historically on the "good" side - so you'll be wanting on the light side at least to start if you want to be in the company.  Examples where we branch into the other side include WoW - we'll likely do it in ToR, but again, we're going Republic at launch.

the jedi wizard name was a bit of a stretch, regardless of what their reasoning is (so what if Uncle Ben said it once) , it just doesnt sound science fiction, too fantasy. Hope they listen and change it.

Not released yet, Connore, we'll have to keep watching the friday updates for months, possibly till we find out how guilds/clans/kins are created in TOR.

I can tell you with my connections across a few LOTRO servers that theres gonna be a massive influx from these players, of course this is still very early, but I do know that much.  many people just from our server, Gladden, will be joining the game, not just from our kinship either.

I too would be willing to at least help get something started once the game gets closer to release.

I had heard the servers greatly decreased.  I played this for a few months. while it looks pretty, customization in characters,  and flying (only in certain areas) is cool,  Everything else was lackluster.  Unbalanced world pvp, hackers, and gold spamming, and also i'd mention leveling after a certain point takes an ungodly amount of time.  I feel it will die out soon enough.  Guild Wars 2 from NCSoft will blow it away next year or so.
