SEK, maker of Paraworld, closes.
I believe they went pout of business, because Paraworld didn't sell.
And I very strongly believe it didn't sell, because it was released at the same time as Anno 1701 - a Megaseller here in Germany - and Gothic 3.

Guitar Hero: The 80's...................provided the song list is good. If they get Metallica, Megadeth, Van Halen, and other rock bands, it's gonna be great. If its a bunch of poppy crap like most other 80's music, that'll suck.

Based on the DEMO, Silverfall is looking good, right about now.
All it needs now is....well, like most games need after a demo: POLISH.

If its a bunch of poppy crap like most other 80's music, that'll suck. Yeah, if it's that poppy crap then I'll most likely buy it. Otherwise Anyway, looking forward to Atalier Iris 3, Dawn of Mana and maybe Persona 3.

Eschalon sounded interesting until I got to:
Talk about the wrong inspiration! First person, turn based? Stuff that!

It's not first person. If you look at the screenshots (to the right ) you'll see that it's clearlly third person. Übereil

Personally, I like their approach, as it shines through the interview.
For example, I personally find the exclamation mark behind the phrase "with Pause" more than justified, because although everything is "action" nowadays, the devs still implement a "pause" feature to more or less emulate turn-base combat.
To me it is as if I was saying "no", but imply a hint of "yes" into it. (Towards turn-based combat in this case".)

I like turn based combat a lot more than the real time combat of, say, NWN 1&2. You do not only have more controll in turn based combat, you allso feel like you're acually doing something. In NWN 2 you just click on the opponent monster, and when he dies you click on the next monster. Combat in NWN is just timeconsumeing IMO (and the funny (or not very funny ) thing is that most of the gameplay in NWN 2 consists of combat). Übereil

What they should be looking at is the Baldur's Gate games, and far more appropriately at Planescape: Torment which is still the best RPG ever after all this time with no real competition. None of the games they mentioned, to my knowledge, involves any actual ROLE playing whatsoever.
Any game which is Diablo based - IE single character hack & slash - should not have a 'combat pause' feature, IMO. That's just completely pointless. You only need that in party-based games where you may have a lot of instructions to give.
It seems absurd to me to talk about 'great RPGs of the past' (As in that interview) with no mention of Black Isle or any of their titles.
Single character RPGs should be looking at the first half of Lionheart; party based at the whole of PS:T if they're really looking to the past for inspiration.

I don't know if there's any roleplaying in Wizardry/M&M/Ultima either, but I really don't care. All I want is well written dialogue and interesting puzzles. Roleplaying is acually second hand to me. And good gameplay, not to forget. You don't want THAT to be in the way, do you?
