Hmm, interesting. I was pretty sure I read somewhere that Reckoning was once planned as being an MMO, but now I guess I'm mistaken.

I'm sure a fair amount of that work went into making Kingdoms of Amalur, which as you probably know was going to be an MMO, but they made it into a single player game instead.

That doesn't make much sense... for a studio that is hemorrhaging money making a big MMO just seems like a bad idea. How many MMO's actually succeed these days?

I don't think HR has been arrested yet, they got the tip, and since Simmons saw that Fusco was on the other side, he probably has gone into hiding, maybe warning a few of the other higher ups.

You know the only thing that I found odd about Turing, was that she was named Turing (famous Computer Scientist and Mathematician) and Harold didn't comment on it at all. She acted out her part pretty well so I stopped thinking about it, but the clue was there.

Well I suddenly am about 75% more interested in Darksiders 2.

Well the Games for Windows logo is there... but I'm not holding my breath for a simultaneous PC release of this.

Sheesh, put a spoiler tag!

Human Revolution probably has the best dialogue system I've ever seen in a game. There is no Paragon or Renegade, you just talk the way you want. It has consequences of course that affects both how you play and how hard certain things become.

I don't get what you mean. inFamous 2 had like one dialogue choice at the end as far as I remember. The rest were up to you, whatever you wanted to do at the time, you could do it.

"At the cost of Sony's bandwidth and the customers' home bandwidth. Capcom has nothing to lose."

inFamous does the morality system as you described. It works, but its still black and white.

So House is ending next week. I'm cool with it since it had a nice long run and they have pretty much run out of ideas, but I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't miss the show. Even the worst episodes still were good examples of procedural drama done right.

Xenoblade as usual. At the rate I'm going I'll probably finish it before I get Dragon's Dogma.

Oh. Alright...

"I've run previous "From the EIC" notes on Kotaku when there were big changes coming. This time, I just wanted to see how things are going, answer any questions you might have (my middle name is "Andrew", yes), that sort of thing."

Huh, I didn't know Akio did the character designs for Bakemonogatari too.

It's a Hindi song. Ancel has said that the city in the game is Indian-inspired.

Wow, this game has been out, for what, half a year?

As much as I think the current season of 30 Rock has been miles better than the last, I'll be ok if it ends.
