Tim has an outy, that means he's an alien.
 
However, the game does look awesome, as someone else said this and Uncharted on the same day Grrr.

"Why do developers keep creating multiplayer crap for their games? Stop it! Focus on the single player. Even if your game is great, the multiplayer probably won't be and at best, you'll have about five people still playing it six months from now when they have just bought the game and are trying to get achievement points or something only to find they're the last five people on earth even playing the game. It's the single player that will have any lasting effect. If you're a multi-player game at heart -- great -- but you're not going to replace the big titles out there that are dedicated to multiplayer and is it really worth that much effort for something that will be dead in ninety days? "


Did you even watch the video this game started out as a multi-player game then they decided to make a single player portion on top of that. i dont see any harm in people making a multi player game when they are honestly trying to make something that is a little more different than jut trying to put out a game with multi player put on the back of the box to sell better. The last i heard multi player does add longevity to games.  i dont see why people have to replace big titles when it is something that is different than the big titles. take bioshock for example i loved the single player and i think it was one of the best single player experiances i had at the time it came out, but i only played through it a few times. bioshock 2 is coming out soon with a multi-player added on. do i think it is going to replace other big multi player games that are coming out? no but i think i will be playing the game alot longer that the previous one and its sounds different enough to keep me entertained just as much.

That could be, and come to think of it, probably is, why he comes off the way he does.

Tim Schafer has to be my favorite person in gaming, seems like he likes to goof around,  has a great personality, is well spoken and seems like he'd be great fun to work with.  I am jealous of the people at Double Fine.

Any mention of how many players are allowed in the multiplayer?  
 
I'm getting the impression it could work two ways, one with a very small player count 2-4 where people play as the commanders and send the soldiers(npcs) to fight, or people play as every unit and then there'd probably be about 16-20 players needed.  I'm kind of pulling for the second one, I'm not a very competitive player and being in large groups allows me to just kind of do my own thing.

" I would play the second faction.  I listen to that stuff.  Keyboards are great!  They add quite a bit of depth to the music.  They're missing the power metal faction that summons dragons, uses epic weapons and weirds out all the other factions with their crazy stories. "
DLC anyone? :>

I have to say, when he said that the death metal faction plays keyboards to "depress" their enemies, he sold another copy of this game.

Ironically, his games don't sell very well. They are all great but they just don't bring in the dough. I'm hoping this game will finally give him the "financial" breakthrough he deserves.

Love the ending.
 
Yeah, I had no idea this game was more of an RTS. The Schaferisms look and sound like a lot of fun...dark fun, but fun all the same.

@Ferginator4k: I was going to say exactly this, and it excites me to no end. Giants had some crazy multiplayer that wasn't so strategic, but it was a hell of a lot of fun. I have great memories of the hour or so I played of multiplayer in Giants, and if BL can have good sales then we might be able to have that kind of good multiplayer for a while.

Also: Anyone else think this game looks vaguely like Sacrifice?"

Yeah, especially when they're both extremely quirky games. The whole idea of being a commander on a battlefield and having all these awesome abilities and summons, very reminiscent of Sacrifice.

I think he's just eccentric like many creative artists. They have a lot of energy bottled up inside that needs to be vented.
