Hey! Was wondering what was up this is Freya from the old forums... new game looks good! I wasn't necessarily expecting a full revamp like this until I went searching for Quantum videos only to find it had all changed to Apocalypse...
I must admit my first reaction was someone had stolen the company >< but now I get it and things seem good.
I've been really busy IRL but never not to follow games and support my favorite hobby, heres to a successful launch!
I think most people's interpretations is that it feels very Kain-y a bit, older-ish Silicon Knights style which people like a lot. Also I can't help but say I thought of the Ephesus ruins with the whole Parthenon building there, so that was neat.
Also these forums work well and everything, I'm pretty sure people realize this by now but the older hardcore video game fan community is still alive on a number of different levels, we aren't all on phones playing this or that.
I'm sure with time as people become more aware there will be more and more engagement, like as long as people are making choices they can choose to support the hardcore styles veruss the more casual games, and I think most people have just been waiting for some of the Angry Birds era to slow down a bit.
On another level, I'm sure people here saw like the Metroid Prime 4 announcement, WOW! I didn't think they'd be getting back to stuff like that for Nintendo, so that's cool too.
Well that's all I got for now, I'll be excited watching for announcements and the news stream, especially as gaming continues to evolve what with increasing personal interactions over video and such as opposed to the old everyone at the big conventions approach.
I guess if I said one final thing, it's probably that I still support the old game magazines for press and support, as I still have a subscription even now to Game Informer, maybe not everyones favorite magazine per se but it's kinda like one of the few ones left.. but I've been using it still.
Er kinda a tangent at the end, anyway, hope everyone gets here and has a good time!
