F2P Cast: David Brevik and Monsters (Ep.37)

This week's show is an all interview spectacular where we spend some time with a few different developers and get the scoop on some upcoming games. We voice our concerns directly to them and get the low down on why they think gamers will enjoy their title. Havek gets a bit upset over Marvel Heroes, Damina brings in some thoughts to try and calm him down, and Magicman sits back and enjoys the show. Cap it all off with some Weekly bombs and Viewer feedback and you have one jam packed session. Enjoy!

not true..all games do not shut down..for example Dark Age of Camelot. still has a huge following even fan made servers and you can still pay to play the original servers. as far as im told they are still very active(i havent been able to afford to play in some time) the reason they have had such success.....idk maybe cuz its the best mmorpg ever released. even with dated graphics id still pay to play it b4 almost anything that is out now,sooo tired of rushed out copy-cat japanime koreatoon crap. matter of fact A BOMB!!!!!! on everything thats come out since f2p started. f2p should mean CRAP.

Big Point is a big user(no pun intended) of the Unity Engine which has the Unity Web Browser Plugin. This basically just allows the game to use the browser for nothing more than a window to draw the game to, bypassing the traditionally slower native browser application design. I've played an FPS made with Unity and played in a browser and found there to no real lag in general. Another case in point is Quake Live, another browser based game that doesn't have the lag associated with it. Much like the stigma of F2P games being low quality dying, so to shall the browser based stigma die.

For the question of the week I'd actually have to say Planetside 2 surpasses the hype. While I was aware of the previous Planetside game, it didn't make much of an impact on me when it was released. However after seeing several videos for it(thanks in huge part to TotalBiscuit using it for his Mailbox videos) I'm now super excited for it and am even starting to look more forward to it than MechWarrior Online(which I am currently in the closed beta for).

Keep up the great show and congrats on the 50k subscribers(still too lazy to actually use Youtube's subscription service, if it's something I like, I do the good ol' fashion way of bookmarking it).

Da bomb for Planetside 2 for obvious reasons.

My personal opinion tended to side with Damina this episode, especially with Marvel Heroes. I have yet to give a Da Bomb/A Bomb, but even with videos of Planetside 2, I'm reserving my judgement about over hype until I get to play in the beta. I prefer not to judge games until having had a test run. I DO believe GW2 may have been somewhat over hyped, not by ArenaNet, but by the fanboys/girls themselves.

Great episode as always, looking forward to next week.

I am going to drop a new bomb...
F bomb to ariea games... they deserve it.. Closed down repulse because they didn't get much money, that's what they get for adding an AK-47 , which is not sci-fi, Making it overpowerd, like most shooters do with AK-47's, and adding an AP value for it.

weekly question:
i signed up to both betas of firefall (been waiting months) and planetside 2 honestly im interested in both but i gotta say whoever gives me the beta key first is gonna get my Da bomb and my vote for gamescon winner.

WEEKLY BOMBS
first lets get this out of the damina gets a DA BOMB from me as shes been great over the weeks.
Games:
I know its not free to play ( well it is to me atm) but i got a DA Bomb for final fantasy xi ultimate collection abyssea edition im a long time fan of the final fantasy series (yes got the ff xiv collecters edition with the cup cloth map and journal) took a while to get through the play online viewer but finally started playing it cant stop looking at my red mage mithra'ss ass >///>.

Thank's for Another Fine Show !

I thought it was going to be rather long but ... Forgot his name (like i care or cared to remember)
But the Diablo/Marvel.. Just seemed a little to high on himself. 20 minutes well, Not well wasted just wasted.

Don't get me wrong i do really enjoy these interviews but no one has been that in love with themself's.
( Thats the vibe i got )

Loved the Mac burn on Havek :D

Peace

I agree about Pando Media Booster. I hate that sh*t & remove it as soon as it is finished DL. Add Akamai NetSession Interface too. Publishers need to stop requiring us to add this crap in order to DL the client.
