    Besides, all that CGI work, all those models and animation code still exists for them to make use of in a TV series.
    Yeah, but it would still cost an absolute fortune to film and render all of that.
  2. I've been saying that a modern Hulk TV series would be awesome... but if it's just a body builder in green paint it'll get laughed off the TV...
    There's also the problem of action, people expect SMASH these days, TV Hulk was always a bit wimpy, just lifting things mainly and always fighting normal people.

    Really, this is just business as usual. Who doesn't even have a defined canon, never mind much pretense towards continuity.
    Yeah, the concept of canon in Doctor Who is very... fluid. Just like time itself, wibbly wobbly.

    That doesn't count.

    If the series is popular and the actor playing the Doctor bows out and they need a 13th regeneration, did anyone think, "Aww, too bad. We have to cancel the series now!" would be an acceptable solution?

    Non-issue.

    Yeah, this is weird. First of all, if anyone actually thinks 13'd be the last, you're crazy. Also, those calling foul on continuity shouldn't, it's been shown repeatedly that the regeneration limit can be surpassed. A lot of people decided that it was likely a deliberate limit set by the Time Lords rather than a natural limit. Especially since they could actually hand out new sets of regenerations and regenerations could be stolen.
    It seems like this limit either died with the Time Lords or they gave him infinite regenerations for the Time War or something.

    Having said that...

    They're completely dropping the ball here on having an awesome series finale one day.

    It just seems wasteful and just bad storytelling.
  6. Dragon Ball GT introduced me to the concept of canon. This made me much happier.

  9. Cool!

    It's nice to see that Doctor Who has become popular overseas. As long as that keeps up, it helps the series continue.

    Well, Data. He had some teething troubles but got there in the end.

    Slightly off topic, but if you don't want to do the Carnival masks exactly, would it be possible/feasible to create an original porcelain mask option that can have different patterns and faces? But not look like the Carnival's.

    Anyway, on topic now, NPC costume pieces.

    First off, Kheldian Sashes! Give it to all Kheldian characters and let it be unlockable via Moonfire's TF for everyone else.

    The Patchwork skin of the Vahzilok would be pretty cool.

    Longbow has a sash with what looks like grenades attached to it, that'd be cool. [image]

    The different heads of the Snakes would be cool too. [Minion] [Lieutenant]

    Although not really a costume piece and more an actual NPC... would it be possible to use the Banished Pantheon Mask spirits as actual masks? (and Maybe the Totem's body as a mask?) [Death] [Desire] [Pain] [Sorrow] [Totem]

    The Legacy Chain has some interesting helmet and chest options. [Adamant] [Tellus] [Radiant]


    I think that's all I can think of at the moment.

    What was wrong with that? It made sense. Dude couldn't control his emotions.
  13. Ghost Widow, final Patron Arc mission, fighting Lord Recluse in the future. Took him down, mission ends, arc ends, DING!

    Was epic. Didn't even plan it that way, just kinda happened.

    Bruce is Back...

    I haven't been following, but from what I understand, only the characters actually think he's dead right? DC themselves haven't been saying he's dead at all, just trapped in the past.

    At least that's the impression I get from comments online.
  15. I haven't really watched any of the DC films, but this is my opinion of the Marvel ones.

    Ultimate Avengers - Good, very fun. Perfect combination of Avengers and the Ultimates.
    Ultimate Avengers 2 - Good, but not as good as the first.
    Iron Man - I think this would have been better if it wasn't an origin story, considering live action Iron Man had come out, watching a different version of his origin again was a little dull.
    Doctor Strange - Was okay. Not a huge Strange fan, but it was interesting.
    Next Avengers - Haven't seen.
    Hulk vs Wolverine - Quite good, but not enough Hulk in it and certainly not enough Hulk vs Wolverine. But it had Deadpool being Deadpool so it gets points for that.
    Hulk vs Thor - Brilliant, has some of the best Hulk fight scenes ever and has a pretty cool plot, cast of characters and location.
    Planet Hulk - Good. Not as good as it could have been, but still good.
  16. This is looking really good.

    It's reminding me of the Marvel animated movies that have been coming out lately, Hulk Vs, Ultimate Avengers, Planet Hulk etc. Their quality was great, and the quality of this is great too.

    Wow... huh.

    Ouroboros (with a u ) is a small zone that contains a couple of TFs/story arcs. but more importantly it lets you play any story arcs that you missed.

    Missed a level 35 contact and you can't get their missions? Ouroboros. It also lets you replay any arc you want again. Wanna play those awesome Rikti War Zone arcs again? Ouroboros.

    Now, how do you get it? Do a story arc or get a badge related to time travel and you'll be "entrusted with the secret" and get a power called the Ouroboros Portal that lets you port directly to the zone.

    That was only when we assumed they were all incarnates. Rucluse might actually be fighting them, since I expect villains will be able to do these TFs too.

    the Coming Storm does not seem to have anything to do with Praetoria....and also seems to be set about to destroy the world, Hamidon included
    Indeed this, also even though Cole is a considerable threat, I don't see it as the kind of threat that would require time meddling to try and undo.
    While we all enjoy arguing about who's the most evil, the fact is, Cole is just a man with his empire and like all empires it will eventually fall. Even if he attacks Primal Earth and kills all the supers, he'll eventually just be another footnote in history along with every other crackpot dictator, people will continue to live and die and new heroes will eventually be born again.

    The Coming Storm seems to be something much, much worse that could potentially mean the end of earth in it's entirety.
  19. There was once rumoured to be a group called The Battalion in the works that were so strong they would require special weapons, created via the Inventions system, to defeat. Supposedly they and the Rikti had had conflicts before.

    What I mean is, I was surprised they weren't big enough to have their own section.

    But that is kind of scary actually, the majority of the isle seems to be made up of hundreds of small MMOs.

    Oh wow, didn't notice that, thought they were just random "player characters".

    Hmmm... there are three other figures. Someone next to Romulus and two over on the left. Can't make out who they are.
  22. Bigger picture links:
    Link 1
    Link 2

    Most interesting aspect of the pictures, why is the Crystal Titan there?

    Also, to whom do the tentacles belong?
