TotalBiscuit has just released some coverage of the alpha version of Planetside 2 in which he explores the day/night cycles in the game, as well as other core mechanics. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6HgC6Exs0U

I've always believed that for a gaming platform to become truly successful, it must first have an in-game client and a digital games store. You're halfway there Enjin; Valve will be watching.

Wasn't Battlelog made by someone not remotely related to the development of BF3. Outsourced, even? Some of the development may have been contracted, but there are permanent staff at DICE that oversee the development of Battlelog as it is an ongoing project which will interact with all future Battlefield products for the foreseeable future. Joakim Bodin is still one of the DICE Battlelog engineers, as far as I am aware.

I wonder why DICE did not make the battlelog like this at first place? :) Because, unlike the developers of Better Battlelog, DICE's team had to start from scratch with nothing and build everything. A developer can never make a perfect product unless that product is astoundingly simple, which is very uncommon and not true in the case of Battlelog.

The problem with well-known intellectual property is that regardless of the product quality, people will buy it simply because of the name on the box. Thus, the corporate executives would rather opt to release a basic, sub-par product and let it ride on the back of its name than invest a lot of money into a project which might not be as successful as the developers hope. Even Star Wars games, which in some cases in the past have been excellent, are rather rare these days.

I love the idea of Elder Scrolls online but I would of liked to see maybe a co-op version before they tried to go MMO. But its still going to be god dam epic! hopefully :) Sadly it's really just the IP; Bethesda won't be working on the MMO apart from consultation from time-to-time.

My day job I am a junior website developer, been doing that for about a year now and I absolutely love it. Nice, so I take it you interact with HTML, CSS, JS, and back-end languages often? Welcome aboard, by the way. :)

It has long-been discussed that Bethesda may at some point transform the Elder Scrolls singleplayer world into a massively multiplayer online one, and yesterday ZeniMax, the "liberal" publisher behind most of Bethesda's projects confirmed that The Elder Scrolls Online is in fact in development. Today Bethesda have published the announcement trailer for this Skyrim-esque MMO which reveals no gameplay mechanics other than players needing to "work together". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6m9-Dret0U Interestingly fans have been complai...
