Rock Blog Tuesday 07/31/07 BEST OF SHOW!

[hmxsean]

Not too much happening today. Last day of July. Watched the Monster Squad DVD last night.

And oh yeah - WE WON THREE GAME CRITICS AWARDS INCLUDING BEST OF SHOW FOR E3!!!! HOLY LONGSTRINGOFSWEARWORDS!

I would have posted this as soon as I found out but I found out by being dragged into the Freq Pit where we popped several bottles of champagne and celebrated. This is honestly something we, as a team, feel really stoked about working on and it really is the game we would not only want to make but want to play. That so many people agree with that really sweetens the pot. It is like Carnivale over here.

Two more blogs today. First we have Canfield who discusses some of the playtesting we have done recently. Next we have Leo whose blog is sort of a prologue of incredible battles to come.

Canfield on Demiurge and leaderboard kingpins

Leo's Nerf dawn.

Thanks everybody, we're psyched about it.

And it is kind of funny reading the backlash comments on, like Kotaku. Sweet sweet backlash! The truest sign of success.

i thought for sure it would be taken by halo 3. good to see they saw quality over popularity.

From Kotaku
Bah, Rock Band for best of show. Give me a break! It's just Guitar Hero, Drum Hero, and Mic Hero stuck together (which you'll actually see the benefit of them being stuck together all of 3 times ever unless you get ripped off and buy that ridiculously over priced bundle). Best of show should really be going to something that wow's people this year, not an expensive clone of a different game.

By the way, WHAT? BAHAHAHAHA at that sentence. Im quite sure rock band HAS wowed everyone, and will impress everybody that sees it. Its already almost unanimously shooting for best party game of the year, not to mention best rhythm game and a good chance at best game if its pulled off right. And i have faith that will happen.
