RPG Vault

Thomas Riegsecker з компанії Basilisk заявив, що Eschalon: Book II - продовження доволі цікавої RPG Eschalon: Book 1 вже в розробці:
“Just a quick note to all our fans that Book II development is underway as of today. The designers of Book I are gathered in the studio for the next 2 days and we are hammering out changes/updates for the next game.

As always, thanks for your support!”

Fallout 2 - Restoration Project обновився до версії 1.1.
Частина:
“Version 1.1 of the Fallout 2 Restoration Project is now ready. Hopefully most, if not all, of the issues found in 1.0 are fixed. Starting a new game is not required, but many of the fixes will not take effect unless you enter the area for the first time (New Reno and EPA are such examples) Thus if you haven't made it too far I highly suggest starting a new game. It's not required though and old saves will work just fine.”

На офіційній сторінці Fallout 3 з`явився великий пост про “Brotherhood of Steel” з декількома артами та історією брацтва.

Хто-хто а озробники з російської студії .dat не дають нудьгувати шанувальникам Disciples III: Ренессанс. На сайті CRPG.ru з`явились нові скріншоти. Подивитись, як завжди можна в галереї CRPG.ru.

Відомий ресурс ModDB відмітився ТОП “Найкраща модифікація року”. Дивно, але єдиною RPG в цьому списку є Oblivion зі своїм модом Nehrim: At Fate's Edge.

Після релізу The Witcher рецензією на гру не відмітився тільки ледачий. Ось і Play.tm не забарився. Оцінка 80%.
Правда після слів: “Pleasingly, the game can be played for the top-down, no doubt homage to traditional role-playing games like Buldar's Gate and Diablo“, я б не став довіряти цьому ресурсу.
Частина:
“You might think, once you've taken into account that opening volley, that I'm not the best person to review The Witcher. I'm probably not. I wouldn't go near this game if I had to buy it. But every now and then reviewing games for the good of gaming does offer a few unexpected pearls in return (besides the free game and kudos, but forget that, we do this for the love of the culture - sort of). While certainly without being forced to play The Witcher I would never have bothered; what an experience I'd have missed out on. Indeed this review should have been in ages ago, but I couldn't bring myself to put a finger to key - there was so much to do and experience, I didn't want to utter a word with so much left to uncover and so I didn't, I waited, experienced and played.”

На NMA з`явився патч для Fallout 2 - Restoration Project, що виправляє деяку кількість багів та невеликий неофіційний патч v1.02.22 для оригінальної гри.
Частина:
“Ok, it seems there are issues with the ammo mod and FO1 gun sounds which come as extras in the expansion. I suggest for those having odd crashes while in combat or really odd crashes in general to uninstall the expansion (use the uninstaller from the FO folder) and reinstall without those two extras. Don't worry your save games will remain and work just fine after reinstalling the expansion. A new installer is up which has these two extras removed.”

Доволі відомий ігровий журналіст Tom Chick вирішив згадати минуле і опублікував свою рецензію на одну з кращих Si-Fi Action\RPG - Deus Ex.
Частина:
“The world created by Deus Ex was a memorable one. It was oddly prescient, though not for supposing a terrorist attack on a New York City landmark (remember that the World Trade Center had already been bombed in 1993 and the Statue of Liberty had been destroyed in Planet of the Apes in 1968). Instead, it was prescient for suggesting a dramatically shifted political landscape in the aftermath of the attack. This was the starting point for wide-ranging flights of dystopian fancy, which tied together diverse plots and machinations. By the time you saved or doomed the world, depending on your choice of ending, you had dealt with every conspiracy theory in the book: black helicopters, the Illuminati, Area 51, Majestic 12, and so on. Deus Ex was nothing if not generous. Along the way were memorable characters like your cohorts and eventual rivals at UNATCO, your brother Paul, the snake-like Walter Simons, Tracer Tong, and of course, Bob Page.”

Після майже 2-х років роботи Fallout 2 - Restoration Project вийшов на реліз.
Що він змінює:
“The day of release has finally come. It has taken me about almost 2 years to get this complete and yet I still believe I can find stuff to add. The purpose of this mod is to add back into the game all the content that was originally planned by the Fallout 2 devs. You will find about 6 new locations (some quite large, other smaller) as well as a few new areas to old locations. In addition, almost every town in the game has new content whether it is new characters, quests, or items. Playing this will definitely be a new experience. Completion of this expansion would also not have been possible without several individuals who I thank in the readme of this mod. Big thanks to all of you!”
