| Poll Results and New Poll |
|
The last poll asked "Have cRPGs improved since the '90s?" - a tricky subject to tackle in this format. The results aren't surprising but certainly highlight that many cRPG fans feel disenfranchised. 52% feel some things are better, some things worse followed by 27% who feel the genre is devolving to its detriment. Only 11% feel the genre is evolving for the better, while just under 8% think things are about the same, graphics aside.

<br>This week I thought we'd ask about EA's Project Gray. Little has been revealed so you'll have to go largely on reputation and market forces. This team previously worked on Lord of the Rings: The Third Age for various consoles and EA still holds the LotR rights, so I don't think it's a big stretch to assume a Lord of the Rings multi-platform project. On the other hand, the blurb claims a huge open-ended game and Sims AI. Will EA make a revolutionary leap with its resources and AI experience - or deliver Fable in LotR packaging? Hit the poll on the left and feel free to comment. |

"It's EA. Enough said." is negative right? Cause when I think EA, I think piss poor games done in a hurry to make a slight profit.
And the game... it's going to be a rather short game, with an extremely thin story. The AI won't be worth shit and the game will overall be quite mediocre. If not, then I'll eat my left shoe, but that won't happen cause EA CANNOT make quality games IMO and certainly not quality RPGs. |

A while back I picked up a copy of The Sims just to see what all the fuss was about, and in my opinion it's one of the most pointless, uninteresting games I've ever seen.
Now EA is touting the fact they're going to use 'Sims' AI in this new 'cRPG' . If they're trying to build a new cRPG based on the technology from the Sims, they have some real issues, and as far as I'm concerned, maybe this should be a console only title.
I know I wont be waiting in line on the day of release. |

Just bought the Sims 2 and I was amazed by it. I always thought that it was a game for girls or little kids but the game truly blew me away with how open it is and the custom content is truly amazing. I am looking forward to EA's gray game. |
