remake – MMO Fallout

Digital Homicide will go down in history as one of the most embarrassing blights on the gaming industry. Since one of the two Romines has decided to put himself back into the public eye by publishing propaganda about the company’s short-lived history, now is as good of a time as any to bring up the company’s titles in reference to…Warcraft 3?

Yes, Warcraft 3. Following Blizzard’s PR nightmare last year regarding Hearthstone and Blitzchung, the company finds itself once again being nearly universally roasted over the release of Warcraft 3: Reforged. You name it, customers are probably angry over it. Misleading advertising, reduced animations, broken servers, merging the remake with the original client, Blizzard’s EULA stating they own any mod you make, the list goes on and on and on.

But you know the proverbial shinola has hit the fan when your AAA game is rated lower than Digital Homicide’s worst-rated title. More than 10,000 people have voted on Warcraft 3 on Metacritic and have given the game a 0.6 rating. By contrast DigiHom’s lowest rated game is The Slaughtering Grounds which stands at a 0.9.

Yes, Warcraft 3 is viewed less favorably than a developer that tried to launch frivolous lawsuits against 100 Steam uses and a Youtube critic for being mean.

Surprise! THQ Nordic Drops Gothic Remake Playable Teaser On Steam

If you thought the season of surprises was over, you’d better toss those dreams into a well and wish for more realistic dreams.

THQ Nordic is doing what few companies in the AAA gaming scene do nowadays; they are asking for player opinion before doing something potentially stupid. Today the company surprised us all and dropped a playable teaser for Gothic on the Steam store, it is free for anyone who owns a game from Piranha Bytes, the folks that made the original Gothic games.

Is Gothic a remake of the 2001 Gothic game? Not really, but it can be. THQ Nordic wants to go back nearly 20 years and pull Gothic into the present. Make it look pretty, shine up what needs to be shined up, and perhaps take another go at aspects of the game that weren’t that good (the combat system). Download the demo, play the game, and leave your thoughts in a survey.

Only you can prevent a bad Gothic remake.

Video of the Now: Skywind Development

Today’s video comes from a team of developers working on taking Morrowing and remaking it using the Skyrim engine. The mod team of more than 70 is looking to go further than a simple port, adding in voice acting and sprucing up an otherwise dated and barren game world with more scenery. Check out the entire development video above.
