Gamescom 2015

Yeah I know it is named The Surge. This is what I've received:
The Surge - the next project by Lords of the Fallen developer Deck13 and Focus will be revealed via interviews with some of the core team at the show. The title is a visceral hardcore RPG with innovative new combat mechanics and the first details on the game will only be presented during pre-booked behind closed door interviews.
So, no videos, perhaps a bit of artwork and some talking heads that will do their best to talk about a game that is probably only in pre-production.

Where did I read the word "visceral" the last time ... Well, it was Elex, wasn't it ? ;)

Eh...every game you hear announced today is described as "visceral".

Yes, visceral is the new all-pervasive industry buzz-word. It's the new serendipitous.

Visceral:
2.
relating to deep inward feelings rather than to the intellect.

ie: all the money's gone on graphics. You have to feel this game rather than play it.

Just a few things before I must go to sleep because I need to get up VERY early in order to get to the TDE convention in time (shit train connections this weekend !) :

EA's Unravel is a thing shrouded in mysteries which need to become unraveled soon.

I mean, when I asked the EA employee for which platforms this will be made, and when it might be published, she said that she weren't allowed to say that. And when I asked her when she would be allowed to say that - in which months or weeks or so - she said to me that shze wasn't allowed to say anything about the game - and despite 10 or 20 peaople playing the game next to us !

Unravel - a game that is shrouded in mysteries which need to be unraveled.

It is still by FAR the most exciting new game for me - personally. I give a shit on your views on that. ;)

I was able to attain a tiny HOMM VII presentation + Q&A. The microphone was too loud so I had to use an earplug. Seriously, my ear ached.

So, all I could understand during the uestions was that HOMM VII is meant to be an "best of all HOMM games". They used things from all games, I think, as far as I understood them.

I don't remember anymore whether it follows the "Reboot" storyline & setting or not, but I suspect that it does.

2 ideas brought forward during that discussion :
- "Shared unites" - units that both parties in a battle can use
- a turn-based game like HOMM with Raving Rabbits (my absolutely crazy idea ! :D ) ("Your idea isn't that crazy as you might think !")

A few games I found noteworthy from the Indie part of the Games Com :

- Kingdom ( the card says rawfury.com/games/kingdom )
- The Curious Expedition ( the card says www.curious-expedition.com )
- Action Henk - I don'Ät really know whatr's a Henk (it's probably his second name) and what's it about - but it surely looked crazy ! ( card says r.gamesessions.com/henktrial )
- Smite - Battle Of The Goods (card says smitegame.com )
- Insane Goblins
- Hero-Defense - Haunted Island (sadly not for the PC !) (card says hero-defense.com , studio's name is "Happy Thursday")
- The Feud - Wild West Tacticxs (seems to be turn-based ! yey ! :) ( card says www.feudgame.com )
- Shiftlings
- Cosmonautica
- Dieselstörmers (by the team that made the Giana Sisters)
- Horizon - Zero Dawn (WHY IS THIS GAME NOT COMING TO THE PC ???) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJG0neK9cHI

Apart from that I don't remember much anymore, apartt from that VR Rabbits game, maybe, that giant Pip Boy und the anbnounced WarCraft movie. And Lego Dimensions.
