Command Prompt Episode 61

by Jonathan Downin in GamesSeptember 16th, 2009 @ 9:14 pm

Command PromptIt’s a day late, but Command Prompt made it out this week.  The PC version of Resident Evil 5 is now available and it has Steve and Jeff talking about how Capcom seems to have started taking their PC ports more seriously.  Majesty 2 also gets some time before Steve gets deep into Champions Online.  He has been playing the game a lot recently and he praises the intricate character creator.

Command Prompt tends to be fairly MMO-heavy and things are no different this week with Steve talking about a piece he wrote concerning the top 10 problems with MMOs.  There is a lot of good ground covered here and you should check out the feature over on IGN.

Bethesda is not happy with how Interplay has been handling the Fallout license and they are filing suit.  The group discusses this and it sounds like Bethesda is in the right here.  Steve shares some of his opinions on Tropico 3 and Marissa talks about Funcom’s latest MMO The Secret World.  Funcom has a lot of experience in the MMO genre with Anarchy Online and Conan so it is interesting that their new game falls in neither the sci-fi or fantasy genres.

Covered games and topics: Resident Evil 5, Majesty 2, Champions Online, Top 10 MMO problems, Interplay/Bethesda, Tropico 3, The Secret World, emails

Looking for the latest PC and MMO news from the gaming industry? Then look no further, because Command Prompt Episode 61 is here. However, since it’s not being posted on the traditional Tuesday, can it really be prompt? Welcome the inaugural episode of Command Delay!

Semantics of the show name aside, we’ve got a ton of content to talk about, including our latest reviews of Resident Evil 5, Majesty 2 and Champions Online. Steve raises a number of complaints with the MMO genre as we talk about the Ten Problems with MMOs feature, while Marissa gives additional details on Secret World. Bethesda vs.Interplay and the lack of Wolfenstein sales dominate the news, and we get to some of your questions within this packed episode.
