It looks amazing! I've never played it so this is an easy buy for me!

You're in for a treat.

I'm honestly torn. I loved Skyrim (not as much as Morrowind, though!). I think the whole remaster thing is a stupid trend, and this game isn't even old enough to really warrant that treatment. And yet, I honestly might buy the damn thing (If I ever stop playing The Witcher 3, which is the only thing I've touched in two weeks, on a third play through of the game).

It is indeed old enough, it's five years old!

And believe me, Sammy and I got Skyrim at launch on the 360, put hundreds of hours into it.

Two years later, we got it for PC, put hundreds of hours into it.

Now, we're throwing money at the screen again, and it'll totally be worth yet another playthrough (with mods!).

Fallout 4 is fun and all, but Skyrim is still the better game by leaps and bounds.

Consolists getting annihilated on this one.

EDIT: btw, I just heard this as a rumor. Not sure if accurate.

EDIT: just going to remove what I said because I can't find any evidence of it and change my post entirely.

I thought the plot and background of Prey was very interesting, and they had some good technology in the portal size changes and gravity effects, but the level design and player interface really didn't utilize that much. I felt the dev's shied away from too much of the body horror concepts you see early on in the first few levels as well, (your girlfriend's demise not withstanding).

There is plenty of narrative space to bring in a sequel, but they need to rethink the player abilities in the age of vertical movement that FPS have entered into. If they combined the movement modes of Titanfall or Destiny with a Portal 2 style portal system, they have a good start.

I played back in the day, was pretty good too but didn't like it, as I was starting to get frustrated with the whole standard FPS setup at the time (You had your powerweapon/health pack loop that you needed to cycle through to maintain your advantage.)

Marathon 2 and Marathon Infinity were out and consuming much of my time as well. The psudo 3D of Bungie's offering still looked better in my mind then the full 3D of Quake, and the plot, oh the plot was so much better. The next big graphical game to grab my attention was Unreal in '98.

Of course a year later Steve Jobs made a certain announcement at Macworld that instantly caught my attention...

Anyway, The 3D environs that are Quake's claim to fame are pretty much ubiquitous at this point. Anyone can license the Havok physics engine and the Unreal engine and get a top notch basis for their game. Good design now comes really from the art, level and gameplay design, and I doubt Quake will innovate much in these categories.

That trailer was gorgeous. I think I'm more excited about this game than any other this year. Uncharted 4 was great, but I came at it from the perspective of someone who only liked the Uncharted series. Dishonored was so good--both the story and gameplay were fantastic--it's a game with few flaws. It's well worth playing if you haven't yet.

Just rolled through Wolfenstein: The New Order again recently, and I kept thinking, "Damn, Dishonored needs some time soon."

Bethesda's involved in so many things I love. Heh.

I still need to play Wolfenstein!

Dude, it's so excellent. Really a must play at some stage.
