Team Fortress 2 - Medic Achievements get dumbed down

One of the (supposedly) VALVe employees, Tim Dorr, has revealed some additional details about the upcoming medic unlocks in his Flickr photo stream. If the pictures are to be believed, many achievements have been dumbed down. These include:

Medical Breakthrough:

Assist in destroying 8 enemy engineer buildings with a single uber-charge on a Demoman.

The number of buildings has been toned down to 5.

You’ll Feel A Little Prick:

Assist in killing 4 enemies with single uber-charge on a scout.

The number of kills has been toned down to 3 enemies.

Big Pharma:

Assist a heavy in killing 30 enemies where neither of you die.

The number has now been toned down to 20.

Blunt Trauma:

Assist in punching out 4 enemies with a single uber-charge on a heavy.

The number of enemies to punch has been toned down to 2.

Chief of Staff:

Accumulate 10 million total heal points.

The number of heal points required has been dumbed down to 1million. 9 million decrease.

It’s rather unfortunate that Valve decided to tone some challenging achievements down just so they can please masses. Check out the Flickr image gallery for Team Fortress 2 related images (including playtesting and pics of Valve’s office).

World Under Siege: European Front Images

The first round of screenshots/artwork from the upcoming turn-based strategy title, World Under Siege: European Front. Wonder Under Siege is being developed by Cateia Games and uses World War II as the setting. The game will feature a limited amount of micro management, enough to add another dimension of gameplay, while not boring the player at the same time. From far and cold Russia and Scandinavia, down to hot sands of Africa. Everything matters! The success of the army is not simply its size and type. Check out 24 images after the break. Read more

Assassin’s Creed QnA

IGN sat down with Charles Beauchemin, technical lead at Ubisoft to chat about the upcoming PC version of Assassin’s Creed. Snippet from the QnA:

IGN: How much of the changes were based on community feedback after the console version’s release?

Charles Beauchemin: When the console version was released, we looked at the feedback from the community and we decided to use the additional time of development to add some variety by including new investigation types. Here is an example: before receiving the green light to assassinate Garnier de Naplouse, you had to complete 2 investigations out of 6. However, you could complete all the investigations available as well. Since we had 5 potential investigation types, you would at least encounter one type twice. Now, with the 4 new investigation types, we have a total of 9 investigation types, so you can complete all 6 investigations before going for Garnier de Naplouse without doing the same investigation twice.

Full QnA and 33 screenshots after the jump.
