LOTR Online Devs Working on Console MMO

Game Informer:

"While this generation of consoles has brought online multiplayer gaming forward by leaps and bounds, one genre has been sorely misrepresented - the MMORPG. While these games continue to thrive on PC, they're almost nonexistent on the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. Developer Turbine has experience in the genre thanks to the Lord of the Rings Online games, and they're planning on bringing a new MMORPG to gamers' living rooms in 2011."

You know Im so tired of hearing this crap! Honestly there were like 5 MMO's planned for 360 that all have been canceled. I suppose this will be another one that doesn't make it. Also 2011 is a Horrible time to come out with it. I mean another 2 1/2 years into the 360's life cycle!? I mean if anything they should be making this for the PS3 or the 360's successor and not that stupid Natal failure.

Also I know the game is from turbine and no console was stated however Turbine has Microsoft Roots so I assume its meant for 360.

The Evil Within Deserved More: A Great Horror Series Left Behind

The Outerhaven writes: While I hold Bethesda's The Evil Within series as some of the best Survival Horror games available, it's clear that Bethesda has no intention of revisiting the series. While Capcom is still working on its Resident Evil series, I look back at the now-dead survival horror series from Bethesda, wondering why the series was left wide open, and yet still not revisited.

An OK horror series left behind. It had some great ideas, but it never knew how to play to its strengths. Instead, it came out like just another RE4 clone.

I would love for a third entry to come out, but it needs to learn to lean in on the psychological aspect and move away from the generic "pew pew" ideology at the center of the gameplay loop. It doesn't need to abandon it; it just needs to put it into better context, is all.

Also, try a first-person perspective instead. Too many 3rd-person games with nothing to offer but an avatar taking precious screen space. At least make it an actual option and not that janky-ass mess the second game pretended to have.

PS5/Pro/Switch 2 version of RDR2 seems most likely. I’d love a RDR3 but that seems years away

Id be happy for just a 60fps patch

Agreed, but at the same time RD2 came out in 2018. Could it be a remake of Red Dead 1?

Spoiler:

Marston died in the end of Red Dead and Red Dead 2 is set before that. Im curious now. What news could it be?

Their contracts are iron clas if they leak anything legit they are threatened with immense legal action.

My hopes for what this is are minimal its probably a meet and greet with the cast

I dont see why they would be involved in a upgraded version of rdr2 when the dialogue hasn't changed

He seems to have been cleared to do this as he purposely picked up the game, streamed it, and made the announcement.

XBLA Classic 'A World of Keflings' Is Coming to Steam, and There's a Demo

"Back in the innocent days of 2010, A World of Keflings was a fairly popular successor to A Kingdom for Keflings. I even wrote about it a few times in 2012! But the world of humans moved on, and NinjaBee's city-building/adventure game was last seen on the ill-fated Wii U in 2014. Fast-forward to the dark year of 2025, and not only is A World of Keflings coming to Steam, but there's already a playable demo! Perhaps the cheerful, no pressure gameplay that the Keflings bring is just what we need nowadays," says Co-Optimus.
