Any news of Bracken Tor or The Last Crown?

Have read on Boakes’ blog that he is planning to release The Last Crown in November, which is when the game is apparently set. For all my complaining I will buy the game. If for no other reason, than he [Boakes] is way ahead of the pack in terms of the quality of his games. To underscore the point, I recently had a quick survey of new(ish) horror games on the PC. One that seemed to prove popular with gamers and reviewers was Amnesia: Dark Descent. I decided to give it a go. I was fairly underwhelmed to be honest. It wasn’t all bad and had great sound, but too much of the rest of it was fairly derivative with a dull-as-dishwater narrative that was straight out of the Cliches of Horror Narratives’ book and a control system that had my reaching for the vallium in frustration. It reinforced my belief that for all the delays and obfuscations, Boakes is really the best out there. So, roll on November…or December…or Spring!

November is almost gone, and no announcement of the game being released! So I guess it’ll be November 2015!  Woot!

Google Translate tells me that is no update. Or the same update we’ve been getting for years: he’s working on it.

I read it (I am Greek) and it really doesn’t give any new info. Yes, we knew that the Braken Tor development was frozen “for a little bit” or that Matt Clark is having less and less time because of Blackenrock. The article also mentions that the game’s graphics have gone to old retro like (Barrow Hill).
No dates or specific announcements of course.

Anyone here could have told him that 2 years ago. I think people mentioned that already long ago. This will turn out like Duke Nukem Forever, held back too long until it is obsolete.

Why doesn’t Matt just release the damn thing? Tongue

I can’t believe it. Is it really true?

*Checks Amazon.co.uk*
Ah, available for pre-order. Hasn’t it been that for many years now?

Yeah I know.

If you like this, why not try this thing you already know you can’t have!

Cheers Amazon. Smile

Well let’s see if we can raise Fantasy from her slumber once again with a new Blackenrock trailer.
