Feral Interactive Have Put Up Another Port Teaser

Ok, let's assume it is Tolkien related.

How about "Shadow of Mordor"?

Released in September 2014 and published by Warner Brothers.
They must already have business relations to WB as at least the
LEGO games which Feral ported to Mac are also published by WB.

Quoting: omer666[Edit] By the way, don't you think the "Always offer a choice" doesn't feel right... to me, it looks like it's been added afterwards.
It looks strange, but it's included in this picture as well: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Oxford_-_Eagle_and_Child_Pub_-_0168.jpg (sorry, I couldn't put http:// before that link or the post would get corrupt).
Wait, "Eagle and Child Pub"...

Elizabeth the young protagonist has a large robot-like bird as her friend and warden in Bioshock Infinite.
Tolkien was related to Eagle and Child: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Eagle_and_Child [External Link]

So it is a lord of the ring saga game, I guess for http://support.feralinteractive.com/en/mac-games/legohobbit/ [External Link]
After reading the links, that would make sense, indeed.

If it really is Bioshock Infinite, does that mean Virtual Programming is a subconstractor of Feral?
I mean, wasn't it quite safe to assume VP was doing the BI "port"?

Or - that game is just an early draft yet. :)

Fans Making Super Mario 64 Remake, Looking for Contributors

Quoting: MightyTrollzorNintendo lawyers:"Should we sue?...yeah we should probably sue."

I think the biggest problem is that they call it "super Mario 64 HD " Nintendo will probably sue for the name alone.
That's one problem.

While IANAL, I guess the biggest problem will arise from making a -remake- of the game (content).

Some companies let you use some of their IP's for free software project as long as you don't
attempt to make money from it and the game content is well aligned with the canon,
I'm sure this does not cover remakes of existing game contents.

Quoting: CybaCowboyAnd Nintendo's lawyers will descend in 3, 2, 1...
Indeed, no way Nintendo will let them make this remake.

(Unfortunately)

Music by Gavin Harrison? The Porcupine Tree drummer?
I guess it's just a coincidence... (?) :)

I played both TL 1&2.
Games with high potential, indeed, but WAY too repetetive for my taste.

Quoting: DrMcCoyEh, me, I still prefer my IBM Model M built [External Link] in 1987. :)

Should that thing break some day in the future, I will get an Unicomp keyboard [External Link], since they still use those awesome buckling springs of the Model M. And you can even get a classic chassis with 101 keys [External Link] (or 102 for the European layouts). No stupid Windows keys.
I have two Unicomp keyboards and I love them - seriously.
Since they don't feature any special multimedia keys no utility is required.
Typing is fantastic but noisy. You might get killed by your office colleague.
