So much more modest than Peter ever was. Any additions will be a surprise. Even if they can't reach their loftiest targets, at least fans won't be disappointed that they failed to deliver something they promised.
Seriously PS3 owners, don't worry. Dawnguard was 'meh' and even though I haven't played it Hearthfire looks like nothing substanial. Boot up Oblivion, play Shivering Isles and remember when Bethesda made proper expansion DLC. You guys really aren't missing out. I was excitied when I saw the press release saying 'bigger and more substanial' DLC, and true it beats horse armor, but it isn't even close to Knights of the Nine or Shivering Isles brilliance.
I think mankind will definitely reach a day when we take charge of our own evolution through bio mechanical engineering. The potential dangers are massive though, particularly the risks to society. There will be ethical divides, financial divides and ability divides. Human kind would likely by split into various sub sections that are unable or unwilling to co-exist.
This whole thing stinks. The only people I can have any sympathy for are the RI taxpayers. How confident must Shilling have been to agree to such a deal? And what money lender in the world would ever offer an unsecured $75 million loan based on projections that were based on some guys fantasy scenario. RI must accept responsibility in this as much as anyone - you want to generate jobs so go for something as risky as a game developer? Lets see... banking isn't going anywhere, there's a huge demand for American manufacturing, successful chain stores are practically no risk... I know! Lets go with that video game developer nobody has ever heard of at a time when some verly successsful companies are going under.
True that the market is over saturated but mostly by Capcom! Seriously, did we need SFXT? It took donkeys years for a new SF so naturally any gamer over 20 was really excited and it sold well, then they released a clone and then another in a very short space of time and all the excitement had worn and those nostalgic fans were suddenly reminded of all the times their brand new SF game was old news less than a year after they bought it and this time wisely steered clear.
Personally I expect TXSF to do better. Tekken creators know they need something to revitalise the franchise and from the interviews and stuff they're saying all the right things to make sure TXSF does the business. Katsuhiro Harada has stated that the game is about 10% complete recently though so it could be a long wait. I'm happy to wait for quality though rather than a company just repackaging the same thing over and over.
