C&C4 to require internet connection for singleplayer

Unknown924 — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 07:57:50 -0400

And I thought no LAN for SC2 was a bad idea, looks like EA decided to 'top' it

As of right now, you need to be online all the time to play C&C 4. This is primarily due to our 'player progression' feature so everything can be tracked. C&C 4 is not an MMO in the sense of World of Warcraft, but conceptually it has similar principles for being online all the time," Community Leader APOC wrote. No matter what mode you're playing, no matter what you're doing, if you want to play Command and...

The next generation of Space Strategy Games 4x style

green_power — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 19:46:48 -0400

I'm running a blog to discuss what should be like in the next generation of Space Strategy Games 4x style (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit and eXterminate): http://www.spacesector.com/blog

So the question we now face is: Which of the following features would we like to see explored in future ubiquitous space gaming experience or which elements do we favor more and in which order? Or basically what do we want to see next?

Half-Life 1 vs Half-Life 2

AdmiralMaximus — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 22:34:33 -0400

hey all,

The title may suggest that this thread talks about HL 1 vs HL2 in the sense of which one is better but it is not. I'm posting this because I have several question regarding the story of the Half-Life universe.

When I first played the opriginal HL I was blown away by it. 1998 11 YEARS AGO!!!! it was truly the best game of its time and the story was simply compelling. As Gordon Freeman you wanted to keep playing not only to kill badass marines and aliens but also...

Mooster — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 08:56:22 -0400

Ok, yesterday, I bough command and conquer the first decade. But I have a problem, which of the 12 games on there should I play first.

Light of Altair PostMortem

wilebill — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 13:46:32 -0400

Light of Altair has recently appeared on Impulse. There is also a Demo, but I did not find it on Impulse; it may be there and I just missed it.

The developers published a very interesting PostMortem that provides a rare insight into how games really get put together. Worth reading if you are into the tech side. Note that this is a PostMortem for the development, hardly for the game itself which just went retail.

Star Wars The Old Republic: Great, or Horrendously Awful

Cadalancea — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 02:42:27 -0400

I'm sure many of you have heard of the eagerly awaited Star Wars: The Old Republic, a MMO created by BioWare and LucasArts, which claims to bring a new element to MMO gameplay. Story.

So they say. Now, I don't know if I'm the only one, but has anyone else noticed the creative bankruptcy of this game?

The clone, sorry, Republic Soldiers. The Clone Wars Era Nu-Class Attack Shuttle, no sorry, I meant the vehicle used by the Sith to attack the Jedi temple. The evil Imperials! ...who came 3000 ...

Homeworld 2

I`m not sure how Stardock approaches acquiring projects for Impulse or what the diplomacy involved is particularly. That said, ideally I`d love to see Majesty 2 get 'signed'... taken under the Stardock wing and nurtured into the kind of game it has so much potential to be.

Looking for some opinions. (Fallout 3)

Carnston — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 18:41:20 -0400

First, a little introduction to the situation...

A while pack, I picked up Fallout 3 for my Xbox 360. This decision was based solely on the fact that my current rig wouldn't have been able to run it well, if at all. I've enjoyed the game thoroughly and, at the moment, I'm eyeing up the DLC packs so I can get back into it.

However, recent events have opened up an alternative. With a new PC soon to be had, I've considered grabbing the Game of the Year edition in October when they g...

Street fighter IV

H3llb0und — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 07:34:07 -0400

I just pre-ordered Street Fighter IV on Impulse... My first purchase here as i buy most my games on Steam.

BTW in Australia SFIV for PC is available at EBGames since the 28th or 29th of June... but it's $85 AUS and i pre-ordered here on Impulse for $44.46 AUS so it was a no-brainer.

But my question is, what is everyone thinking of doing about controllers / arcade sticks?

Searching on the net, it seems XBOX360 and some PS3 controllers work on PC.

Obviously for this...

Steam + CD keys, and the lack thereof

FaultyLogic — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 16:30:29 -0400

i just bought the orange box at a store. when i tried installing it, i discovered that it had no CD key, which is vital to install/register the game. i have contacted the steam support. how long could it take to get a response, and what are the odds of me actually getting a CD key?
