Yeah but you never know for sure. Turn your back for a second and it might be sucking off call of duty or something.

I just hope they choose some good voice actors for the two protagonists, the goblin's character design is fantastic.

I'm still a little worried this game isn't going to receive the polish time it deserves, the release date is set for September.

How do these german sites get this stuff before everyone else?

OT:Looks pretty cool, but I don't understand who you play as? Maybe all of them by choice I assume?

Dipso4351d ago

Its a French production, so its mainly been previewed by European sites so far.

Your primary character is the Orc, you can switch between him and the Goblin to allocate specific attacks, use special skills etc, which is done by pausing the combat to issue commands prior to engaging the enemy.

I'm not sure about the two human characters, they may be entirely A.I controlled. Information has been very thin on the ground but I expect this to change after the games E3 showing.

Thanks, very helpful. While I'm sure more will be shown at E3. A low profile game like this likely to get overlooked for some of the big announcements, but we'll just have to see.

I have to say I'm very impressed with Spiders "Silk Engine", for a tiny team of only twenty people they've really done a great job. The best part about it is that its custom built based on Sony's Phyre engine so we can expect cross platform parity.

Of Orcs & Men: Revisiting the Shadowrun - DJ Podcasts

Ian from DJ Podcasts writes "For gamers who grew up in the early 90s and for fans of games during those first few years Kickstarter as a business model is really starting to pay off. As an average consumer even more so, because you don’t have to do anything and the 1000s of fans out there chipping in are paying, for your child hood memories to be remade."
