That was my question at 41:00 - After the panel, Jens came out for a smoke break and it was awesome chatting with him for about hour about developing games and art. Quite inspirational to talk to someone in the business.
Ok, that was unfair, i'm sorry. it gets much better after the 18-minute mark, and really good near the end. but still, those first 18 minutes or so are brutal
I watched this just to see Russ at 41:00. And DAYUM, the guy sure looks much slimmer than the last time I saw him. He looks good! I like him with his long hair better though.
well i only really know todd howards games =/. do the other studios have games similar in quality to morrowind, fallout 3, oblivion, and skyrim? cause if they do why havnt i heard of them and how much do they cost...
As a gamer of everything for almost 25 years, I understand the "elitism" concerns that trickles down from the PC crowd. It's bullshit and really sad that such exists, but don't worry about it. if you can make it, do it. You don't need to compete in any tournies or anything, just enjoy the atmosphere and support the industry/hobby that you love. Fuck the haters.
Frenchman w/hoodie: Is making Dishonored which probably will be as good as Skyrim at what it is. They have a great art style and gameplay concept. $60 pre-order Swede w/ hat: Made The Darkness which had some great elements, and Chronicles of Riddick was REAALLY immersive. They're in the bargain bin by now. American w/long sleeve shirt: Made Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction which was like playing a Pixar movie. Very fun. I don't really care for Resistance. Cheap games now.
wait, so hes saying firing pipes and have the guy bleed is NOT COOL??!!! I can only assume that is a real idea that got shot down.. But Umm.. Can anyone say "Blood Drainer"!! from a Quake1 mod, was put into KQP (the best collection of mods for quake ever). That was my fav gun!
lol was this interview sponsored by ZeniMax Media? Bethesda is owned by ZeniMax, MachineGames was bought by Bethesda 2 years ago and Arkane Studios is also owned bby ZeniMax :D InsomniacGames is the only outsider as it is an indie studio
Scrapping ideas is such a horrible thing to get used to. When it comes to games there are plenty of things that need to be done before you will see if it works or not, so naturally you feel bad about scrapping anything. But if you don't scrap stuff you end up with mediocre game, which is ofcourse not acceptable. It is a hard part of the job, but when you finally do something right it's pretty rewarding. And ofcourse success of the game beats all the horrors of production.
Yep, absolutely free. If you release a game with say UDK, epic gets a % of your earnings tho. :) other than that... the tools are there, have at it! The sky is the limit, the only barrier you have nowadays is your own perseverance.
I tried to follow this thread to the beginning but it was deleted due to negative comments. You hate Apple or apple products or apple software? Sega isn't making hardware anymore because they didn't have consumer backing. You can't blame Sony if people preferred there hardware products over Sega's. What does fanboys have to do with a product. as I understand your logic is PlayStation = bad because you dislike PlayStation fanboys. Isn't that the sort of argument a fanboy makes?
Fanboyism is like a religion, but more tongue-in-cheek. Sure, I'm a fervent supporter of something (any one thing) versus something else, I make an emotional decision based on a few factors that personally affect me, probably on a subconscious level, (like running into Sony fanboys), and then my mind supplies legitimate reasons to dislike Sony (I really don't like the controller), and I behave in accordance to my views by loudly booing Insomniac. It's really, really simple.
No, it's not 'gravy' Todd Howard. Atmosphere and variety are just as important, this is why you guys will never top Morrowind. I respect the Dishonored developer and the guy who created the original Darkness game and Chronicles of Riddick Escape From Butcher Bay though.
Lol sorry if this is getting to you, but I just didn't make sense of your original argument (this is not the same as saying I didn't understand it, as I did). Your last comment showed the 1st legitimate reason not to like PlayStation; "I don't like Playstation hardware as well, or the controller". That makes sense. However, you didn't "woke people up by booing loudly". Instead, you showed hypocrisy by complaining about something that you do yourself (the whole fanboy straw-man argument).
I tried to make it pretty clear that I don't like Playstation because I am a fan of the competition as well as having a dislike for the supporters of Playstation products that I have run into. I don't see how there's anything wrong with that. I can dislike things for nearly any personal reason. I don't like Playstation hardware as well, or the controller, whatever, the reasons really aren't relevant. I don't like Sony and as a result I don't like Insomniac, so I woke people up by booing loudly.
Because I hate Apple, and Apple's competitor is Microsoft, and Microsoft's competitor is Sony. Also, I love Sega, and Sega isn't making hardware anymore becasue of Sony. Also, years of working at a video game store has taught me that the most rabid and religious of all fanboys are definitely Playstation fanyboys. The last reason is the real reason why I just can't stand Playstation. Man, but there are SO many I can't even begin spewing them out. Literally, I could name dozens upon dozens.
I don't like Apple, due mostly to Apple software (I don't like itunes). But yes, I don't like Sony because of exposure to Sony fanboys, and I am undeniably a Sega fanboy. It's really not that difficult to understand, I simply don't like Playstation, and therefore, I don't like Insomniac.
It's not hard to follow. The logic is just stupid that's all. You hate Sony because of it's users. That is what doesn't make sense. What would make sense if you hated Sony for a legitimate reason and also hated the Sony fanboy cult. Therefore, hating both as individual entities. The fanboys have nothing to do with the product itself per-say. However, what you are showing is the stupidity in logic that most fanboys make. Then again that is as you said "because you are a fanboy".
Yeah he talked about The Great Battle of Skyrim Part 1 in an interview with Gamefront which was really cool too.
Todd mentioned my Great Battle series and my 300 video! That's very cool! Thanks Todd for the shoutout!
Tyrannicon I’m so glad my little fangirl self at 12 was able to get you a shoutout. (Also I still don’t have Skyrim)
That was my question at 41:00 - After the panel, Jens came out for a smoke break and it was awesome chatting with him for about hour about developing games and art. Quite inspirational to talk to someone in the business.
Wow so happy I took another look at all the QuakeCon vids what a gem!
I asked the question at 51:50 and was very glad to have been at QuakeCon 2012 - what a bunch of cool guys :)
Thanks!
Thanks man - I was nervous, but tried to keep it under control.
congratulations! That video was stunningly awesome, btw!
Love the keynotes from dev/conferences. This no different. Great panel.
Yeah :)
Good question man! really makes you think.
I would just like to say, ur videos are badass, keep it up ^^
the shot out for the grat battles is at the end!!!
@51:50 is probably the most interesting question I've ever heard in one of these Q&A sessions.
Wow, that was a GREAT question! It was by far the best of all. You seem like a wise guy :)
awesome stuff! Keep up the good work too, Tyrannicon!
13:15 Dead Space has a HUD but it's inside the world. You don't need HUD plastered all over the fourth wall to give players information.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Todd Howard. He had to fly in from 1987."
yeah your video's are awesome like great battles of skyrim part two that's so awesome especially your great battles of skyrim one's there so cool
I really love listening to Todd talk. Idk why..lol. He's as interesting as his games I guess.
wow thx for this quakecon
Excellent question!
great video thanks for the upload :)
that third guy didnt accept the hand shake...
59.00
RU$$ MONEY IN THE HOUSE!
I like it this way, that way you don't have to listen to some guy interrupting , it's more like a 1 on 1 on 1 on 1 on 1 w/out any interference.
i wanna go to quakecon :D looks like fun
Uber nice and btw will you make a battle with dawnguard and vampires ?
Ok, that was unfair, i'm sorry. it gets much better after the 18-minute mark, and really good near the end. but still, those first 18 minutes or so are brutal
59:34 OMG!
3 of the 4 speakers belong to the same media company. Maybe they don't hate each other that much...
Remember, Bethesda's a team, not a one man army (No MW2 reference intended).
:D he sure is! Great game designer.
Todd's the best!
I watched this just to see Russ at 41:00. And DAYUM, the guy sure looks much slimmer than the last time I saw him. He looks good! I like him with his long hair better though.
well you earned it man
well i only really know todd howards games =/.
do the other studios have games similar in quality to morrowind, fallout 3, oblivion, and skyrim? cause if they do why havnt i heard of them and how much do they cost...
Skipping to all the times Todd speaks
Te dude at 47:15 is awesome he would be like a great friend of mine if he lived near me or went to my school. he seems awesom:D
Yeah
49:00 Most important point in fan service. I will be getting Dishonored.
You don't need to tell us, there is NO doubt in my mind :P

Bethesda is owned by ZeniMax, MachineGames was bought by Bethesda 2 years ago and Arkane Studios is also owned bby ZeniMax :D
InsomniacGames is the only outsider as it is an indie studio
It was awesome. Why wouldn't he?
4:50 nice ears ^^
Its kind of like they had to lay off the entire xplay staff..
..........But dawnguard have still not come out for ps3 todd!
29:45

I don't think Todd Howard or Morgan Webb will be here this year since G4 is crap now without XPlay or AOTS.
Ingenieria Social
I think I want to listen to some Pink Floyd now.
i was there

"Well obviously the word is fuck." xD
Yep, absolutely free. If you release a game with say UDK, epic gets a % of your earnings tho. :) other than that... the tools are there, have at it! The sky is the limit, the only barrier you have nowadays is your own perseverance.
Why?
nice. I'll take that as a compliment ;)
COPS doesn't pay for itself.
Cool :)
41:00 RUSSSSS
You're the guy with the skyrim bikini contest no?

Again, why?

Russ

Oh gods. Why was I like this?

BOOOO! INSOMNIAC! BOOOOOOOO! I booed that guy so hard.
..rriigght...
So the bethesda guys were cut off from society during the development of Skyrim. Now I see why they don't even notice how lifeless their game is:P
these jokes are terrible lol but good video

Because, Insomniac = Playstation. Playstation = bad.
