--- Quote from: est ---dreamfall looks kinda ok i guess, but i am starting to get sick of shiny RPGs.  i want a really dingy, dark, gritty RPG to come out.  mostly medieval, with a small dash of magic thrown in, perhaps.  maybe based on the Source engine, that'd be pretty cool.

Est, sometimes you've gotta go for the classics.  Get your hands on a copy of Ultima V - you won't find a more atmospheric and gritty R.P.G. as far as I'm concerned.  Sure it came out about almost 20 years ago and is entirely 2-D, but if you haven't played it then you're missing out on one of the great games of the genre.

(For the record, the internet is full of Ultima nerds dedicated to releasing programmes that enable the Ultima series to be run on modern machines.)

Karn:
Switchblade, you aren't thinking of Dawn of War, are you? That's the latest WH40K PC game out, to my knowledge. I believe an expansion is already in the works, too.

I'm personally looking forward to Civilization IV. I'm not really a Sid Meier fanatic, but the preview article in one of the past few PC Gamer magazines made it look pretty kickass. Big Huge Games is also coming out with a followup to Rise of Nations, (set in a fantasy world this time) but I'm afraid the name doesn't come to mind.

Switchblade:
Dude, do me some fucking credit, will you? Dawn of War was released last year, and made number 25 on PC Gamer UK's official top 100 games for PC list. I've completed the story mode, had my tail whipped at online play a few times, and am looking forward to the "Winter Assault" expansion pack, featuring the Imperial Guard, with great anticipation. Also, it was made by Relic, not Black Hole. "Winter Assault" should be released in October of this year, if all goes according to plan.

There is an actual WARHAMMER, as in "Warhammer Fantasy Battles" RTS game in the works, with orcs, elves, dwarves, wizards, crossbows, cannon and that kind of thing. I could provide screenshots out of the mag, if required.

It's simply that, despite releasing screenshots and stuff to the press, neither GW nor Black Hole seem to have put anything up on their respective websites about the project... yet.

And no, i'm not talking about Mythic Entertainment's Warhammer Online, the MMORPG, either. Which, incidentally, was abandoned a few months ago following a funding shortfall, but has since been picked up again. I currently has a provisional release date of "some time in 2007"

I actually know my shit, see.

O.O;

Yes. Yes, you do. Although I doubted DoW was the one you meant, I felt too lazy to look up the one you were talking about. Apologies.

*kow-tows*

Switchblade:
Your impudence will be overlooked.... this time.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing what "Prey" has to offer. Alongside Quake IV, it looks to be a game using the DOOM 3 engine that will (hopefully) turn out to actually show some depth. Gravity-defying geometry, portal-based teleporters, plus the ability to leave your body and manipulate the world as a spirit. Not too shabby... I hope. Oh, also exploding alien crab-grenades.

The video I have certainly makes it look promising. There's this moment where a whole jumbo jet has been teleported aboard this absurdly huge alien starship, without losing any of its speed first, so it winds up crashing in flames. super cool stuff.
