Re: Beta impressions. *NO SPOILERS*

The closest character from a game I can compare him to is Arthur from the Journeyman Series. In Journeyman Project 3, there was an option to choose how much Arthur talked. Something like that is probably appropriate here. Not to completely remove the character, but just limit him if the player choo...

Re: BETA! Rolling out.

Exciting! All you lucky beta kids be sure to take lots of video and right lots of impressions for the rest of us! It's hard to believe some of you will actually be playing a new Tex Murphy game after all these years. I may be wrong, but if it's like the beta (pre release) for Broken Age, we will be...

Re: Tesla Effect Preview on Game Trailers

The video said it was for casual players, ie "entertainment" mode. Whether try can be toggled on or off on that mode, I'm not sure, but it would be nice. They probably will be, seeing as hints could be turned off in all of the previous games. They said that they're always on in Casual mod...

Re: Update #65: Let's Catch Up

In a landscape where other Kickstarter projects are being dragged out, split up, and cut down for size, it's great to see this one over-delivering on every front. I certainly would have happily settled for a shorter, jankier Tex game. I mean honestly, looking at Big Finish's earlier games, I really ...

Re: Broken Sword 5 ... anyone playing it?

Easier adventure games I believe are going to be the trend as they are trying to capture the casual gaming audience. In fairness, this isn't the only reason. A lot of old-school adventure games were harder than the designers intended, simply because a lot of design conventions weren't as polished a...

Re: Broken Sword 5 ... anyone playing it?

I played about an hour of it, but I'm waiting for the full game to really give it a playthrough. My overall impression was that it feels like classic Broken Sword, if a little on the easy side. I was more impressed with Broken Age, though. I liked what I played, but considering this year is bringing...

Re: Tesla Effect Intro cut scene

Cubase was hinting that the intro is going to be especially epic. I don't what this means in terms of length, but given how long we know the FMV part of the game is, I'm expecting it to be pretty hefty. Although personally, I hope the balance of cutscene/dialog scene vs Gameplay/investigation in thi...

Re: Tesla Effect Preview on Game Trailers

I absolutely love it. Seeing this relieved me of any lingering doubts that this would be anything less that a true Tex Murphy experience. The humor, the slapstick deaths (death in a 2014 adventure game!), inventory combination puzzles, and the ability to examine everything and hear Tex's lines... It...

Re: To BEta or not to BEta...

So it looks like you'll have to make that decision sooner rather than later. Destructoid played it, and it looks like it is indeed a slice from the middle of the game:

Re: Rest in Peace - A Thread for People Who Have Passed Away

Pete Seeger passed away last night. A genuine living legend, a man who influenced not only generations of musicians, but the conscience of a nation. It's hard to overstate the man's importance and impact. As the child of two amateur folk singers, he strikes a particularly resonant chord with me. He ...

Re: To BEta or not to BEta...

They've already said the beta will only be a portion of the game. Intellectually I prefer waiting, but I know I wouldn't be able to resist the chance to play the game early, at least for a bit. Alas, I wasn't able to back at a level that has beta access, so I won't have to deal with that temptation....

Re: Had a Horrible Thought

My computer is more or less a 2007 rig, albeit with a newer video card. It plays every game I've ever thrown at it, including the Crysis series. Soon, those next-gen games will be rolling in and that might not be true anymore, but I don't think Tesla Effect will be the game to bring my system to its...

Re: Tesla Effect Trailer #3

The 3D gameplay bits are really polishing up nice. Really shaping up to be the Tex game I've been hoping for.
