Arud	Posted - 2005.05.07 13:17:00 - [1] Or so I can only assume judging by the name of the Titan He is one of the historic figures in gaming history along with Sid Maier and others. http://www.gamespot.com/features/petermolyneux/ Quote: A legacy composed of acclaimed games like Populous, Magic Carpet, Syndicate, and Dungeon Keeper may not have ever come to pass had it not been for a fortuitous case of homonyms.
Slaxl	Posted - 2005.05.07 13:20:00 - [2] aye I noticed that too, very nice job CCP.
The Enslaver	Posted - 2005.05.07 13:43:00 - [3] Aye, Peter Molyneux = win. -------- FireFoxx80: If you think you can do a better job, go find yourself a datacentre to host a box, get a copy of Visual Studio, and STFU.

Chucky	Posted - 2005.05.07 13:57:00 - [5] I thought it sounded familiar, but goes to remind me how much damage EA has done to gaming industry ... you will see more and more marketing which in turn will bring you more players to torture.
Rath Amon	Posted - 2005.05.07 14:13:00 - [6] loved syndicate and powermonger
Seribus	Posted - 2005.05.07 14:38:00 - [7] Originally by: Chucky I thought it sounded familiar, but goes to remind me how much damage EA has done to gaming industry Why is it that whenever a company dominates a market there are always people who say stuff like this. If EA had damaged the industry it would not be growing at a rate significantly greater than any other industry in this country. They have done great things for the industry, like making other industries recognize it has legitimate.
The Enslaver	Posted - 2005.05.07 14:46:00 - [8] Buying a company, taking its main brands and continuously pumping out crappy knockoffs isn't something that is good for the industry, and they do so well in money terms by relying on the names of the brands - for instance Westwood and Command and Conquer. -------- FireFoxx80: If you think you can do a better job, go find yourself a datacentre to host a box, get a copy of Visual Studio, and STFU.

Sorry if I was a bit vague there, although I agree the gaming industry has done quite well despite EA. If EA had not started the ôif you canÆt beat them, buy them and squeeze themö trend, Peter Molyneux would most likely still be at Bullfrog making great original games. Instead he had to start over with a less familiar, less talented company. ... you will see more and more marketing which in turn will bring you more players to torture.

Aye, but it might also be that Oveur or some of the devs are closet Wolves fans... Goddam alt... deletes unwanted experimental character
Hanns	Posted - 2005.05.07 16:46:00 - [12] Edited by: Hanns on 07/05/2005 16:47:16 Originally by: Rath Amon loved syndicate OMFG Syndicate, almost completely forgot about that game, i played that ALL the time on my old Amiga 600!! OMG someone needs to remake that game, would be awesome. edit Umm i have no idea how i could have possibly forgotten about that game, given my corp name
Shimatu	Posted - 2005.05.07 17:19:00 - [13] not that i'd advocate it in any way, but if you want i can probly find you a downloadable copy of syndicate. pretty sure its freeware (well, abandonware rather) these days. was playing it a year or so back - still brilliant fun! :D 3-I's T2 sales can be found HERE

Arcticblue2	Posted - 2005.05.07 18:42:00 - [15] Originally by: Rath Amon loved syndicate and powermonger oh those two games really have stolen my childhood!!! ---------------------------------------------- "When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child: now that I am become a man, I have put away childish things." 1 cor. 13:11
Psychopat	Posted - 2005.05.07 18:48:00 - [16] Edited by: Psychopat on 07/05/2005 18:48:21 Peter Molyneux ? you mean "Mr this is going to be the best game ever but it turned out to be sh\|t"? -=water? Never touch the stuff,fish fock in it=-
Trepkos	Posted - 2005.05.07 18:48:00 - [17] Originally by: The Enslaver for instance Westwood and Command and Conquer. ....One of the saddest stories of one of the saddest falls of one of the greatest gaming company and one of the greatest franchise of games ever.... But as usual, EA keeps pumping out half-arsed games, like they're spitting on the grave of the series they killed themselves. ------------------ What can I lose? My dignity...every single inch of it.
The Enslaver	Posted - 2005.05.07 18:56:00 - [18] Exactly, unfortunately it seems that quantity before quality is what they are after... -------- FireFoxx80: If you think you can do a better job, go find yourself a datacentre to host a box, get a copy of Visual Studio, and STFU.
Fuse	Posted - 2005.05.07 19:06:00 - [19] Powermonger was the first warcraft type of game it was awesome people didn't see it. Amiga for the win!!! I saw his interview on X-Play he was a pioneer and he did take risks with syndicate and that was an overlooked game because of bad marketing. He still has good ideas but very bad implementation. I'm not spilling my ideas anymore on web boards. I have a chance to work in the gaming industry. 0.o It's not you... no wait it is you.

If EA had damaged the industry it would not be growing at a rate significantly greater than any other industry in this country. They have done great things for the industry, like making other industries recognize it has legitimate. EA underpays it's workers and forces them to do overtime without extra pay (several large lawsuits in progress over this). Do a search for "EA_Spouse" on google for more of this. EA's huge market clout often prevents smaller niche games or rivals from getting a look in. Getting an exclusive liscense to all american football leagues damages the industry. (EA NFL exclusive on google). All EA has done in regards to making other industries (I assume we're talking about multimedia industries here) respect the games industry is to show that video games can be an extra source of income when your film/tv cartoon/whatever needs a sales boost. The people making video games truely respected are the people who are as far away from EA as possible working on truely creative and innovative games, not FIFA 2006 - "Slightly Better Graphics Edition". I could go on and on and on and on about EA but it's all been said before. </rant>
Fuse	Posted - 2005.05.07 19:11:00 - [21] Edited by: Fuse on 07/05/2005 19:11:05 Originally by: Chucky I thought it sounded familiar, but goes to remind me how much damage EA has done to gaming industry Yes big corps like Sony and EA are the blackholes of creativity. They like to mass produce games for money. Welcome to McSony and McEA 4tWin. 0.o It's not you... no wait it is you.

Xtro 2	Posted - 2005.05.07 20:10:00 - [23] Indeed Dune II was the first of that genere, i still remember playing a demo of command and conquer on the PC and the readme file's first lines of text said: SO IS THIS DUNE3? No their completely different games. Except they were basically the same game with altered graphics and unit/building names. __________________________________________ Hell is nothing more than an office with fluorecent lights.
HulkHogan	Posted - 2005.05.07 21:30:00 - [24] Originally by: Hanns OMFG Syndicate, almost completely forgot about that game, i played that ALL the time on my old Amiga 600!! Lol A600 4tl. It's all about the A1200 :D Although when I 'upgraded' to it from my A500, Hunter stopped working :(

"Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty is the "grand-daddy" of RTS. Dune 2 was the first true RTS game, released in 1992." 0.o It's not you... no wait it is you.
TornSoul	Posted - 2005.05.07 23:32:00 - [26] /me still has his Dune II (3 disks) and Syndicate (5 disks) floppies BIG Lottery [u

No, that's Derek Smart. Buggycruiser 3000AD FTW!!! +++ It's called "low security space" for a reason.
Suze'Rain	Posted - 2005.05.08 01:27:00 - [29] I'd like to ask CCP if they would be willing to set the names of some of the other in-game NPC Titans in a similar fashion could two of them please be named the "Bell" and the "Braben" to mark the creators of the game which I'm sure many players consider the spiritual ancestor of Eve: Elite? If other players would agree with this, please quote and second the proposal.
Khatred	Posted - 2005.05.08 03:39:00 - [30] Omg, Elite, it feels like decades have past since I've played that game. Err wait, it's been almost 20 years That game was the king of Spectrum 48k games.
