What I want to know is how I'm supposed to pronounce "Jean". Is it Jean as in "look at my cool new jeans" or is it Jean as as Jean Claude?

Jean as in 'Gene', not the French sound though I've gotten that and I never mind. My Haitian name is Jean-Carl, where the French version is appropriate (exclusive ti my father's side of the family, though).

I thought that was how it was said. You should use the French pronounciation when you're talking to a girl.
The whole French = appealing thing. |

Quote:
CCP have a history of being one of the best MMO developers around due to listening to their players and admitting mistakes when no other MMO companies would typically do that. They are way ahead of the curve when it comes to this genre. At one point, they -completely- overhauled the game's graphics in order to stay modern and compete. Took forever, released over several expansions, but fuck if it didn't come together at the end and look absolutely gorgeous. They have a vision that they stick to. Their publisher went belly up before the game released, and they worked without pay for over half a year in order to finish the game and get it out there. To add insult to injury, the publisher took the box rights to the game, so they had to sell it by digital download ONLY for over half of the game's life. They built an empire from nothing, and managed to top 400k subscriptions this year and are still on a slow and steady rise. Literally the only MMO on the market that has yet to peak in subscriptions, and that's after 11 years. Not bad for a niche game. There is only a single major feature that was promised and not delivered on - Walking In Stations. And it was their own playerbase that caused them to shelve it after players rioted over an internal newsletter and demanded that CCP refocus back on things that mattered to them. So they did. DUST 514 is going to be fantastic. Have you missed the Fanfest gameplay videos and presentations about weapons/vehicles/fittings/roles? Looks incredible. Certainly wont be a game that appeals to the typical short attention span CoD gamers, but I have no issues with that at all. They've said outright that they are -prepared- for it to tank at launch, and plan on nurturing a long term player base with constant content/feature updates for years to come. This is the -only- gaming company in the industry that I actually trust when they say something like that. As far as what they've promised for DUST - they've already shown the live planet bombardment a couple times, where a ship in EVE can bombard a planet from orbit and it happens in real-time in DUST. Games are going to be linked, and they've already said what they will and won't be able to have in at launch, and what they plan on doing after launch. Again, only company I trust when they say they're going to do something. The game is going to be ENTIRELY free with an optional cash shop that they've stated will NOT feature 'pay-to-win' items. Going to be awesome that day one, I can download the game for free and just start playing. Didn't mean for that to be so long, but CCP is quality. They make gaffs from time to time, but fuck if they don't try to make up for it. Other companies should look to them as an example of what to do. Their employees genuinely seem to love the company as well. They actually learn from mistakes, listen to their players, and aren't afraid to take REAL chances if it means a truly unique experience. Really hope that one day, they are a giant of the industry and start making a whole slew of other games outside of just MMOs. Love their vision and their business model. |

I read the first 2 paragraphs. CCP are awesome, but from long-time EVE players, they mostly are commended for their commitment to not making rules and letting players make the rules, even when it comes to conning people out of ships. But their actual promised upgrades haven't delivered nearly what they promised.
This is a 2 year old perspective, mind you. Most people I know that played it have stopped now. |

Haven't released any others yet. They are developing two titles at the moment, both MMOs. DUST 514 (PS3) and World of Darkness (PC). They purchased White Wolf for the sole purpose of making a World of Darkness MMO. They have a studio in Atlanta, Their headquarters in Reykjavik, and another studio in Shanghai. I believe there is an office in San Francisco, and another in Newcastle, UK. Each studio is working on a different game, and the other locations handle logistics and servers I think. So they're quite established at this point, and seem to be in it for the long haul. As long as EVE continues to do well, they've got a steady stream of income for their other projects.
They have done an amazing job with EVE though in 11 years. Like I said, it is the only MMO on the market to consistently rise in subscriptions and not yet peak. Having followed them for about 6 or 7 years now, I have all the faith in the world for them to produce a quality title and continue to strive for excellence. The day they become a publicly traded company and have to answer to share holders is the day I will start to worry, if that day ever comes. |

![]() They have delivered plenty, and when it looked like they weren't, the players organized a riot and started mass cancelling subscriptions. It resulted in the direct restructuring of teams within CCP, and a massive shift in company motto, as well as the firing and reassignment of a large amount of people. Again, their mistakes led to them realizing they lost focus, so they listened to what their players wanted, and went back to making internet spaceships the main priority. Since then, they've climbed back up to even higher subscription numbers than before it happened. Hell, there is even a council of players elected by the playerbase which has been utilized in communicating player desires to the development team. They get flown to Iceland once or twice a year to meet with CCP and discuss the direction of the game and bring issues to their attention. How many companies would allow their players to have that big of an impact on what happens in the game? Sure, CCP has the final word in what goes in or not, but that is some real effort put into listening to player suggestions. This is why they deserve to be a giant. They put big companies like EA/Activision to shame with how much they care about the quality of their product. |

The best thing about E3 is Giant Bomb late night live shows every day with crazy amounts of good guests talking about stuff from the show. The only reason I continue to watch E3 is that I continue to get laid off right before it happens :/

Likely to only be the Wii U. They might have a video from MS or Sony showing something new, but I would be willing to bet a load of cash it's not this year.

A new 3D Mario Bros game for a console (Wii or Wii U) GTA V info of some kind. Anything but "PS3 exclusive" will be great. Capcom confirming that Megaman Legends 3 is coming to XBLA/Wii/Wii U (Let me dream!) A new Wario game. NOT Warioware. Wario Land, Wario World, Wario Bros would all be great. A Wario & Waluigi game would be be a "mark out moment" but it wont happen because Nintendo hates Waluigi. New Banjo-Kazooie platformer New Killer Instinct or a re-release of the old ones on XBLA or as a "collection" disc. Super Smash Bros 4 trailer and new character reveals. At least one character that's a genuine "Woah!" moment. A decent console RTS like Simcity, Theme Hospital, Populous etc. Anything else I can think of is really "out there" wishlist type stuff. I'm aware a lot of it is unlikely. I'm sure we'll get Annual FPS 2013, The Other Annual FPS 2013 and Annual FPS 2013 Outerspace Edition. ![]() |

Only ones I can see happening is the GTA V news and the annual shooters since those already got confirmed. Maybe a new Mega Man game but not Legends considering the teaser Capcom released today of "Remember Me."
At this point, anything not Kinect related from RARE is never happening nor anything they worked on the past unless Microsoft has 4J Studios working on it. |

All I'm honestly looking forward to is Nintendo's network details, TF: Fall of Cybertron multiplayer details, Halo 4 multiplayer details, Battlefield 3's Armor Kill map reveal, a fighting game from Capcom, and Tekken Tag 2's 4plyr reveal.

Seems to be a split between places saying its a new series, a potential new Mega Man game, or a return of a long forgotten franchise similar to Nintendo bringing Kid Icarus back after 20+ years. |

If it's a return, it might be Captain Commando. "Remember me" could be some kind of hook for the game.
If it's a new game actually called Remember Me, I'm thinking it sounds like one of those Ico style "art" games but sad. You play as a small girl who lost her memory after a car crash killed her parents and you explore your house, interacting with certain items of furniture or toys triggering memories of your parents. etc etc. |

New Gears of War game to be debuted during E3. The only catch is most of the details won't occur at E3 but instead during the July issue of Game Informer.
