- Pokemon Company does Press Conference a week before Pokémon Direct, Nintendo acknowledges nothing
- Iron Maiden is suing 3D Realms
- FFXIV Shadowbringers Media Tour embargo is over, gameplay news pouring in
- P: I’m going to paint this with a broader brush due to circumstances.
- “Homogenization” seems to be the word of the day, but nuance isn’t dead.
- Curious how the recasting of healers as “pure healers” will affect solo content.
- Instances as recent as 4.56 have DPS checks embedded in them.
- Tanks: “Optimization” or “dumbing down”?
- P: Idea shouldn’t be to remove responsibilities from the role, but WXHB was a solution to a problem that shouldn’t exist in the first place.
- Remains to be seen if responsibilities were removed or redistributed.
- “Optimization” would be tanks actively sustaining aggro in 16 abilities or less. “Dumbing down” would be letting tanks passively sustain aggro.
- Trust System: AI party members for multiplayer content…but only for SHB content
- …and the Cataclysm mumblings begin in earnest.
- Microsoft bringing more PC games to Steam
- E3 Pre-Show
- E3 Preview Cheatsheet
- What do we expect from Microsoft, Nintendo, & Sony.
- Sony not at E3, but probably won’t be quiet.
- Will we see hardware from anyone?
- What would we like to see from Third-parties?
- Staff Roundtable on our personal hopes for the show.
- F: P.G.R. 5.
- P: No hardware, Microsoft all-in on Xbox-PC interplay, PSVR software barrage, the unannounced Naoki Yoshida next-gen project (FFXVI?)
- D: Exclusive games from Microsoft that aren’t your typical nitty gritty shooter or racing game, we’re gonna see hardware–that’s a given. I know more about Avengers than most our level should, and it’s not going well, so I hope I’m proved wrong. Final Fantasy XVI. Hope to see lots of spread out releases from Nintendo, and Golden Sun would put me over the top.
