Well I have seen Vampire TV series like True Blood, The Vampire Diaries and The Strain and it is no secret I like movies Underworld movies, Frigth Night from 80ies and the newer Fright Night from 2011.


Seems Bloodlines 2 have a new Chinese Room developer and it will have UNREAL 5 engine. Release date? Unknown, but my guess is during year 2024 or later. I hope the game will be successful and is done well. Fans wonder if the Chinese Room firm can handles such huge project because this would be the biggest project for this firm so far. That said I know they have budget and are hiring many new developers for UNREAL 5 engine word creation. It mens this Chinese Room seems to have solid budget at least.

Paradox Interactive previous main and only developer I am not sure they are totally out from that game development Bloodlines 2 and it is a bit unclear how is it exactly.

Heard about it ...
Nothing but guesses and rumors. :-/

Also Chinese Room is just a name of the company, its small British developer team. wink

Im not really sure if they belong "under Paradox" if you know what i mean tho ... since it only make sense that someone from "within" would take over HSL. O_o
Maybe they changed developer again? laugh Nothing will surprise me anymore, about this game ... nothing except release date and good rewievs.


I still dont understand why cant we change Race for our hirelings. frown
Lets us play Githyanki as racist as they trully are! frown

Well that is good news. Oh I believe one thing is not rumor. Unreal 5 engine grin does it trigger yet UNREAL 5? There was some debate by one forum member saying roughly that is is boring with so many Unreal 5 engine games. However at end of the day they can develop quite different worlds and they are games lets see which Unreal 5 games are polished and well done.

Oh I am Unreal fan long time from ago even like the retro game Unreal Tournament 2004 slightly though I would not set it among my 10 best games played. I am not saying all Unreal engines have been great, but this Unreal 5 seems to be the thing though I would warn that FULL HD resolution 1080p or slightly higher 1440p likely are the resolutions to use for UNREAL 5. From what I have heard with all those details resolutions like 4k-8k can demand really much from your graphiccard.

You can get basically get ray tracing similar effects with UNREAL 5, but it demands much less then ray tracing that might even die out due to Unreal 5 engine replacing need of old ray tracing. Unreal 5 have so many other effects and I do not want to explain all its power, but it is the state of the art engine right now the best of the best graphics engine. Well and Unreal 5 what makes it really powerful is the good system performance combined with excellent graphics and it can handle bigger huge fights then say old Unreal 4 engine could do example Ashes of Creation MMO does try to set new World Record in amount of PvP players 500 vs 500 players with excellent Unreal 5 graphics.

I mean ... it would make sense.

After all, it should have ben released on all curent and new-gen consoles (with same key even!), but at this rate, people would probably not even remember curent-gen by the time it releases ... so it would be quite possible if they would change this decision.
I wouldnt never call it smart change, but can imagine them do it.

Personaly im a bit sceptical about Unreal 5 ... cant say its somehow bad, not at all ... but its still " "quite new" " (double quote marks to incerase emphasis), and if there is something about new engines im affraid of, its bugs. :-/

I mean 4 may not have as breathtaking features, but after all theese years, its mostly known and explored ... both in matter of its possibilities, and limits. :-/
I ofcourse realize and understand that words "Unreal 5" have sound that may drag interest ... if there is one, single, most important thing the entertaining industry should learn from Cyberpunk ... its that underestimating "kinda rough, but acceptable" release can bite you in the ass as rabid dog ... so, no matter what engine they pick, i really hope they invest triple amount of intended time to testing, twice over.
For their own good. laugh :-/

Yes but Cyberpunk developers themselves said they will ditch their engine and use superior Unreal 5 example for next Witcher game. Well and it will be tested to kingdom come there are really many Unreal 5 engine games developed currently.
I do not know if my butt was kicked, but my eyes went wide open and I have not been excited for a graphics engine so much for a long time before. The engine itself is of course not that interesting, but there are games coming with Unreal 5 engine that interest me.

I was never so excited about ray tracing due to fact it does require so much system performance. Now with Unreal 5 replaces ray tracing and has much better system performance then ray tracing.

What makes it interesting to me is system performance combined with excellent graphics.
It is not the name only. Unreal 5 beats clearly Unreal 4 and I can promise it is not a name change only from 4 to 5.

Hey all, I just realised that Metal Gear Rising is 10 years old this year, and it's on sale for it's 10th birthday, so if you've never played it, try it out and experience the ridiculousness for yourself.

No idea what you are even going on about, because MGR is definitely NOT a Korean game.

Ok that was Japanese.

"Koreans companies mostly do mobile games"
Ok but NCSoft they do many MMORPG for PC also.
'
1998 Lineage MMORPG
2003 Lineage II MMORPG however to USA and Europe this came perhaps like 2006 and not 2003.
2004 City of Heroes MMORPG
2005 Guild Wars MMORPG
...
2012 Blade & Soul MMORPG
and many more MMORPG

Well Guild Wars 1 and 2 for ArenaNet develeps but Ncsoft did like help.

Throne and Liberty MMORPG aka like Lineage 3 with Unreal 5 engine is done by Ncsoft that I maybe will play. It is odd that Throne and Liberty MMORPG will done in 2023 and even soon perhaps in summer 2023 or that is done later in 2023, but no info about how much will it cost or is pay to win or pay /month no info about that only silent about that no answer.

It is true that NCSoft does also games for mobile games. There are so many mobile games. You even play Skyrim:



Well and Diablo Immortal for mobiles is very much pay to win game.
Lets hope Diablo 4 is not pay to win but we will see about that.

WOW over 12 millions sales in 2 weeks! Congratulations to Hogwarts Legacy and J.K. Rowling!

Well so Hogwarts Legacy will get more stuff. Excellent!

Now the only downside from my side of view is that when I said I want to buy it when clear discount with those sales over 12 million copies in more then 850 million dollars in roughly 2 weeks! That means I do not believe it will go on discount any time soon!

Hogwarts Legacy Sales Top 12 Million Units in First 2 Weeks

I'd assume by contract she gets her percentage of royalties on anything based on the IP she created.

Still, no idea what any of this has to do with the thread.

Yes money and honor to J.K. Rowling.

Anyway if a game like Hogwarts Legacy sell much and the still have like 9/10 in Steam that is info of very good game. I do know that does all people do not like so much that game. Even when I buy Hogwarts Legacy much later when I can get clear discount I doubt I would guess it is as not my best 10 games that I have played.

What game might soon in year 2023 become one of the my best games? Well Pillars of Eternity 2 and Baldur's Gate 3 and now much new info about BG3:

Because I did buy Early Access before that I will get for free to DELUXE version BG3 and also I can start play BG3 in 29 Augusts 2023 and not 31 August as full release though between 29 August and full release I can only save chapter 1 progress for full release game.
Xbox Series X? I do not know they Larian do not talk about XBOX, but my guess Xbox Series X get BG3 much later. That said PlayStation 5 will have same release date as PC in 31 August 2023.

I believe BG3 will rise to my best 10 games when full release.

It's not exactly that, the red engine just seems unable to properly do it in certain cases. E.g. the best PC on the market may play Witcher 3 GOTY with frame rate issues. A worse PC could have lesser problems (seriously, mine plays kinda bad, but not nearly as bad as it should be!). Little pattern or reason. The engine doesn't work well with directX12. It's a disaster. They really need to ditch it. Ray tracing is demanding, yes. But, not this demanding!

The company has pretty much only produced flops so far. It being their biggest selling... is honestly not surprising. Probably also why bigger companies didn't pick it up before. No reputation to risk in this case. There was only up or stagnation

If anyone hasn't seen it - The Last of Us hit a viewership of 10 Million through Nielsen ratings - which is massive. The writing is deeply intelligent - some of the best storytelling that I have ever experienced. The actual viewership is unknown but likely quite a bit higher than the Nielsen ratings as that only provides a slice of actual viewership.


Also with an all star cast, Bella Ramsey, Anna Torv, Pedro Pascal, Nick Offerman, and Murray Bartlett. Right now it holds a 97%/91% on Rotten tomatoes despite some bigots trying to review bomb episode three.

Excited to play the Game on PC when it releases in March.
