This gorgeous video lets you discover more about the story and the universe of the game."
By avoiderdragon:Even though they’re traditionally seen as bad guys, orcs have always been a popular fictional race in the fantasy genre. From Dungeons & Dragons with the Forgotten Realms settings among others, Warhammer 40K with the ones with the big guns and the Cockney accents, Warcraft that portrays them as noble savages, and so on, Orcs have always been a staple since the days of Tolkien. This game by Cyanide Studios and Spiders attempt to capture the very essence of the Orcs’ charm into one game aptly named Of Orcs and Men
Valve is celebrating the German videogame conference GamesCom 2013 with a celebration of Paris-developed games from the 19th to the 25th of August.
"The 'Game From Paris' will feature 17 successful titles developed by Parisian studios, that Steam users will be able to download at a discounted prices," according to the press release.
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."
Loving this. It blew us away at E3 this year with the level of detail in the textures and character models. Really looking forward to it.
Yeah Spiders have done an amazing job customising the Phyre Engine, hard to believe such a small team has produced such amazing results, the weather effects are particularly lovely. Lets hope their influence goes further than the stunning visuals as Cyanide have a pretty average track record so far.
I really hope they have made some considerable steps away from the Game of Thrones combat system though,which was pretty bad, because as of now they do look kind of similar. Anyhow, the premise and art design have already persuaded me to part with my cash, the rest of this year looking a little dull to me, sequelitis to the hilt.
