Johnny C:
assuming that tweet is even about obsidian at all

Scandanavian War Machine:
Squeenix has actually been publishing some of my favorite games recently, none of which have been RPGs.

I have faith in their judgment as a publisher (even if I am losing all faith in them as a developer) so I look forward to anything in the future that has their name on it (as long as it has someone else's name on it too).

KvP:
Website is redesigned, and apparently there are already some reviews - at least, Game Informer reviewed it and said "It will change the way you think about role-playing games", which is typical game review hyperbole, and not particularly trustworthy given that GI broke AP in the first place.

Storm Rider:
I'm very curious to see how Sega handles the review embargo. If it's absolute last-minute except for an 'exclusive' early review like that Game Informer quote, that's usually a very bad sign. But it doesn't seem like Sega would do that since all along they've been very supportive of the game, giving it the development time it needed if not really the PR. I wonder if it'll be an Alan Wake or Uncharted 2 situation, where the publisher basically lets sites put up reviews as soon as they're done with the final build, so reviews start going up a week or two before the game is on shelves.

KvP:
Hard to say. We've got three weeks to the day until it goes on sale in Oz, so they'd have to start cranking them out pretty soon.

I'm expecting middling-to-good reviews. The game definitely lacks visual polish and that alone is going to prevent it from getting into the 9.0-10 range. The mixed reactions to VA should lower the max to 8.5 as well. From there it will depend on how much people like the core gameplay experience, and how seriously they take the choice conceit at the heart of the game - if reviewers don't care, I expect it to get average scores at best.
