Bleh, I don't want a clone. I want a reboot that takes the feel (errr the hot female from DK2?) and puts it in an FPS action enviroment. But Scifi.

With aliens.

wait is that sarcasm? im not good at detecting.

anyway, yeah this looks pretty damn cool. i hope it has all the features that made dungeon keeper great (especially hoping for first person mode) and being able to build your little lair for your creature. i always enjoyed building a bettle lair and then walking around as one. fun times.

With RUSE not using lame online DRM, this is anohter good news for PC gamers.

It's already out. It's called Dwarf Fortress

I wouldn't be looking forward to this so much if I hadn't played a lot of DF. Personally I don't think DK and DF are anything alike.

The problem with DF is that it's a lot more awesome to talk about than it is to play.

I have zero problem playing Steamwork games in offline mode. None of us shouldn't.

I think the second part is fine. Please dont force your opinion on other people opinions on us Nesrie.

OT

*Happy dance*

It is not a opinion.

If you have problem going offline mode with exception of 3rd party drm'd games in Steam, you should put support ticket and get proper response from them.

Well yeah, I agree....DF and DK are very different indeed. However, DF is a masterpiece already, even in it's bugged/alpha state. I spent hundreds of hours playing with DF in the last years. That means something I guess. [Even tho, DF is not for everyone, that is for sure...]

..on-topic: The screenies are looking good..let's hope that the gameplay will be decent as well!..can't wait for some in-game videos.

Btw, somehow I missed the press release, so here it is:

Prepare to Unleash Your Devious Side as Kalypso Media Announces “Dungeons”

Think you can hack it as an evil Dungeon Lord?

Ridgewood, NJ, August 12, 2010 — Kalypso Media, a global publisher of award-winning PC and console games is pleased to unveil Dungeons, an all new strategy/simulation title for Windows PC which will take players on a devious adventure through the depths of the underworld. Prepare to have the roles reversed as you play a despicable Dungeon Lord whose job is to create fiendish dungeons to lure and trap heroes who dare to try and steal your treasure. Dungeons is currently in development by Realmforge, a Kalypso Media studio and is scheduled for release in Q1 2011.

Dungeons follows the mis-adventures of the foremost of all Dungeon Lords, who spends his time luring heroes into his labyrinthine creations with the promise of treasure and a good fight — only to be trapped by his ingenious devices. Once they are in his grasp, our Dungeon Lord must look after and cherish his new found prisoners until they are more comfortable with their surroundings, because come the “harvest”, happy heroes have more precious soul energy for you to gleefully extract via foul prisons or twisted torture chambers!

In Dungeons, our protagonist falls victim to a devious plot hatched by his vile, nasty and thoroughly vicious ex-girlfriend and finds himself at the bottom of the underworld hierarchy and the top of the dungeon pile which in this world is about as bad as it can get. Our Lord must have his revenge, and make his way back down the dungeon levels to his rightful place — but first he must deal with his new bosses, the three despicable Dungeon Lords who stand in his way.

At his disposal are his dim-witted goblin minions who dig tunnels and build rooms to lay out his lair and trap ever stronger and braver heroes who dare to enter, not forgetting to plot his revenge against his ex-girlfriend and his new bosses who think it’s great fun to bombard him with useless tasks. It goes without saying that a malicious and sneaky creature such as our Dungeon Lord has more than a few tricks up his sleeve. Revenge will be sweet indeed.

Hmm, I can see the hero classes being kinda limited. There's only so many different types of heroes anyway, but only 15 Monster Types? That seems pretty limited. Not a good sign. 50 Different objects to be used might spice it up, but damn, I can think of way over 15 monster types when I'm half asleep. Still, it's a Dungeon Keeper remake/clone so it's worth keeping an eye on just for that reason. I sure as shit hope they up that monster count though...

It's not all about monster types, either. Who knows if there's item shops (*hopes*) or such things. Individual statistics. Levels, upgrade paths, who knows.

It won't really be the same unless a certain voice actor is on board.
