Apparently there is going to be an announcement this week at GDC about the creation of some PC Gaming Alliance (Nvidia, AMD, Microsoft, Intel, etc). Their one purpose is to save PC Gaming from extinction.

How do they plan on doing it? They want to standardise the PC and make it more like a console. By creating a PC that is not customizable, they can hope that PC game developers will start making games that will be run on the "pc console".

Is that really the answer to PC gaming?? Do we really need another console in the market?

consoles are easy to build games for... PC's have so many different video cards and stuf to code for

...is retarded. 

Why do video games suck?  They cost too much to make and they've become as bland and predictable as the next Hollywood movie, the next Nickleback sounding pop-rock band.  These aren't things that allow for creativity or innovation, these are multigazillion dollar projects, precious investments that are genetically engineered in underground nazi facilities to be the ultimate blonde haired, blue eyed entertainment events of superhuman perfection.

Entertaintment authorities of all breeds know how to achieve mass appeal with generic content while maintaining a certain level of mediocrity to get by.  It sounds complicated but it really isn't.  Everyone reuses the same concepts or ideals behind stories throughout time- but you can plainly see the mastery of mediocrity at large in the recent re-make-marathon brought to you by Hollywood.  I long for the days where they just made poorly written sequels- but you see- they're evolving.  Every entertainment industry is evolving it's ability to produce this kind of shit to a finite science.

It's not gonna stop until it melts down.  These idiots are spending in excess of 50 million dollars to make a video game when relatively few can hope to sell more than a million copies.  Why can't they put sensible people working in the entertainment industries?  Why is everyone working in that industry an eccentric asshole who doesn't understand the value of money, discipline and good business practices?

Maybe because deep down somewhere they still believe they're an "artist" and not some delusional hack?  "I'm an artist." would be the only excuse for such stupidity- it wouldn't justify it; but at least then i'd understand...

 

Blizzard spent about 50 million... now they're making like 100 million a month

Damn if he's talking about me i'am really honored.. I'd be like a darkfall celebrity or something.  too bad I'am not a webmaster and never sent hundreds of mails to anyone.

 people are sending them hundreds of mails?

28days and you Polorization have zero credability on these forums, ZERO you credibility is equal to that of an annoying gadfly. I don't have to prove anyhting, 28 days already proved my point for me; "A friend of a friend" yeah don't make me laugh, he sent those e-mails and got nothing in response when they checked his IP #. 

 I have lots of credibility ... everything I say can be backed up with either facts or just plain dumb commen sense.

And you do realize that it's very easy to hide your true IP if you want to right? All you have to do is use a proxy server.... so whoever that was sending them mails obviously didn't care about their IP or was too stupid to hide it.

"The MMO Gamer had not received any responses to emails sent to Darkfall developers Aventurine S.A."

Did they check The MMO Gamer IP too and decide to not reply because they thought it was some big bad webmaster or something?  It's true though that the Aventurine boys have been the targets of many jokes in the past by developers like Age of Conan for example and god knows who else...

Pre-Order now for the low low price of only 6 payments of 99.99 and we will throw in this brand new kitchen sink for free, AND WAIT THATS NOT ALL get this complete box set of ABBA's greatest hits!... AND WE MUST BEEEE CRAAAAZZZZYY BECAUSE NOT ONLY ARE WE GOING TO GIVE YOU THAT BUT I AM GOING TO GIVE YOU THE COMBO JUICER SUPER SQUIEGEE HIGH POWER WASHING FULLY CARBIDE KITCHEN KUNG FU IRON CHEF KNIFE SET!

Thats what that video makes me think of.

I mean if the game comes out with 1/10th of what is claimed there. If it only delivered on skill based, open pvp that was fun. I would check it out at least. But anytime I see claims like that I just can't take it serious. But thats a fan movie so hopefully they are not promising all that.

The same applies to some of you guys; if you don't get a reply, it is because you are not important or interresting enough.

I've gotten replies from companies like Blizzard and Turbine. I'am glad someone there feels that I'am important enough to reply too. 

 But then again , Aventurine doesn't even have a support department so I guess they're extremely short handed when it comes to that...... But even though they cant hire anyone to answer emails they will easily develop a MMORPG of the like which has never been seen before...

The excuses the fanboys conjure up for these people is just amazing. Aventurine can do no wrong! 

If some of you were females you would be in abusive relationships right about now.  Aventurine is like the abusive husband , and all the blind faith fanboys are the delusional wives.

This just backs up everything I've said here. 

I never liked DDO.. In fact I've neve liked any game Turbine has ever made besides AC1... and that was made by completely different people so many years ago.... so you can say todays Turbine never even really made it.

Turbine is one of the worste game dev companies out there IMO. Their games are mediocre rubbish only made popular because of franchise names like D&D and LOTR.

Why are a lot of people now posting about wanting permadeath in MMO's? Do you people realize how stupid that would be!? In World of Warcraft, people die ALL the time. In a permadeath game, it would have to be designed in a way that it is really hard to die, unlike World of Warcraft, or it wouldn't work at all. Does anybody realize how lame this would be? What a boring game! Blizzard even made an april fool's about a permadeath in the new race "the wisp". That's because that's all permadeath is, a BIG JOKE!

Perma death is perfectly fine.. Quests can be associated with Perma death that give very good rewards for example..

Going on the quest to get the "bad ass sword of owning you like the monkey that you are" would have serious consequences if you don't complete it.. - you die forever... 

of course no one is forced to go on perma death based quests.. but the ones that do and succeed are paid off with awesome stuff

This weeks update will prolly be pretty big, either a new vid, QA + screenshots or a new website launch which would probably have a few new vids + screenshots, and feature updates.

and if it's not?  or there's no update at all?

 you said you had someone else send them so they wouldnt ignore yours if you havent sent them emails why would they ignore yours

 I sent them an email ,  at least over a year ago. I did not send any of these that were ignored now.. which just goes to show you they ignore everybody no matter who it is that writes in. And even at different addresses like that Jaco limited thing.

Don't you think that's just a little bit STRANGE??

Try and solve this ridddle.

How does a company that ignores all business inquiries do any business?

this is why darkfall has been withholding beta because they want a almost complete game before beta starts but no one believes them

I love it how DF fans just make stuff up and pass it off as being fact...

 No actually that's exactly WHY I had a friend send the emails. 

Exactly.. I did not send them any email. I said someone else did it. Learn to COMPREHEND.

I didn't send them any email genious. They ignore EVERYONE.

Try it yourself.

Trying to explain things to Darkfall fans is like trying to explain things to pre schoolers.

Why should darkfall staff answer this emails?

Then why do they have a public contact email?  For show??

Why should Blizzard answer emails about Job openings?

Why should NCsoft answer emails about general questions?

Why should every company in existence other than Aventurine answer their emails?

Why don't we just admit it... Aventurine and their practices are so far off what is considering to be "normal" practices for anyone that it's just pure entertainment...

thanks for the entertainment.

I can't take all the credit. I have to at least thank the people who make it all possible.

If it were not for me these boards would be as stale as Darkfall has become after 7 years.

You should be thanking me for providing some entertainment and topics to discuss.

No actually that's exactly WHY I had a friend send the emails.   to rule out the possibility they would ignore mine , I had a completely different person send the inquiries.

Genius right?     I know it must be really hard to believe that you can have other people send emails 

And by the way , there were at least two other people who posted here in the past saying they had sent e-mails in and never received any replies about jobs and other things.

According to wikipedia Funcom has total of 233 employees.

The fact Funcom has 233  employees makes it very likely that 200 can be working on it at this late stage (crunch time)..    with 33 left over doing other things.

Funcom can very well be throwing nearly all it's resources at it at this point to make sure it gets done.
