  1. they said no more clones, they didnt necessarily say that they were getting rid of the charecters that happened to be clones. they could redesign them or something. i dont think they'll get rid of all the charecters that were clones, just some of em maybe.

    Yes, it could simply be that the characters that were previously clones are getting their own individual move sets and play styles. I can't see them cutting something as easy to implement as clones when it would do little but irritate fans of those characters.

  2. According to Pardo, the game is "very far along," and that the game is already playable in multiplayer with all three factions.

    The panel also confirmed that the sequel will have only the three factions of the Protoss, Terrans, and Zerg; there will be no fourth faction.

    So that clears that up!

  3. For the kiddies, of course. "Basic Reading Skill Required!" is on the back of Dawn of Souls, or something like that. They make these games so the primary market who owns Nintendo handhelds (kids) will be able to beat them, I guess.

    I remember back in the days when this problem was remedied by the simple addition of a "Normal / Hard" option on the main title screen. Now it's serious RPG fans suffer because the games are tailored to the intelligence of a 10 year old, or the 10 year olds "suffer" because they actually have to learn how to think and overcome the enemies. I'm pretty sure I played FF6 when I was 10, and enjoyed the difficulty thoroughly.

  4. The lack of support for ASIO drivers in Vista will make it impossible to use for most musicians. I don't think there will be much of a choice in switching to another system for many. Unless you don't mind it shutting down your sound card every time you try to record something. Of course, this may be remedied, or I may have misinterpreted the information in that lengthy article detailing Vista's problems.

  5. Anyone who has played Total Annihilation knows Starcraft's engine could do with some serious upgrading. With World of Warcraft filling the online RPG role for the time being, I'd love to see that same excellent story and setting from Starcraft put to use in a new RTS. Diablo II was a very rich experience as well, I wouldn't complain at all about seeing a sequel to that instead.

  6. I enjoyed most of his earlier works, particularly on the SNES and PSX. With the sound capabilities of the PS2, he's been free to utilize the full breadth of various other styles which often happen to not quite be my preference. I did like many tracks from Baten Kaitos though. The battle theme is very novel and well written.

  7. I for one would love to have a Larrry Oji show again, I miss his vg frequency a great deal. Beyond that, VGDJ should live on, there's no reason somebody else couldn't start something up from the bottom up.

    Yeah, Larry's show was great. I'm hoping we see him host a show again some time in the future.

    As for the podcast, I'm sure there are other knowledgeable people in the community sufficiently skilled in public speaking and editing to host. If you consider the marketing aspect, I imagine it'd be generally unwise to let the brand name "VGDJ" and the associated internet domain go to waste.
