So how does this work? like RTS and FPS together.
Cos RTS you tend to have several squads of troops and a few big boss type things. and FPS it tends to be you against the world. so unless an FPS player is over powered to handle several squads, otherwise you'll have some rather unhappy FPS players.
In other words it sounds like a pain to sort out the balancing.
So what happened to Bushnell's self-righteous BS about how games were mind-rotting shit these days?
Paraphrasing, of course, but the last several mentions I've seen involving Bushnell + his opinions of gaming have not been kind to the industry, and all seemed to focus on how he'd rather video gaming use its power for education or somesuch.
So, of course, FPS+RTS is the natural evolution of those desires?
This actually sounds pretty damn interesting. I'll be watching out for that. If we can't have a direct Battlezone sequel (I'm looking at you, Pandemic), a clone is good enough.
If past performance is an indication of future performance, he is going to make millions off this game, then immediately sell it to fund an ill conceived robot.
As important as Bushnell was, I don't really put much stock in his work since Atari. Since leaving Atari, he's tried backing a bunch of business ventures and failed at all of them, such as his domestic robots company in the '80s (no, really!), and his more recent attempt at combining social networking with restaurants for young professionals or something.
I'm glad he's still trying things, but I'm not getting my hopes up for the guy any more.
Has anyone ever played Savage? how is it? I've always been kinda interested but it seemed to risky of a purchase.
Anywho, count me in, this is the type of game i have been wanting to play for years. However, if Nolan really wanted to make me a happy man, he could find some crazy way to make the arcade have a presence again in america. I mean, the dude did invent chuckie cheeses, it is possible.
I remember a story that the late author Isaac Asimov told concerning this. When he was 25 his mother turned 50 years old. He laughed, and his mother told him "When you turn 50 I am going to laugh good and hard!".
So when Isaac turned 50, he called up his mother and told her, "I just turned 50. You may laugh now." "What's to laugh about", she said. "When you turned 50 I'm 75!"
In other words, don't sweat the age thing. You stop aging eventually...^_<

Age, I mean.
But then the world's going to get awfully (more) crowded awfully fast.

Sucks that you meant age.
If we're smart, we include birth control in the age cure.
