In this case, propulsion comes courtesy of the new naturally aspirated LS6 V-8 from the base Corvette Stingray, which got an injection of at least 40 horsepower and 50 pound-feet of torque just in time for the arrival of this generation’s Grand Sport.
There are few things as exciting as the prospect of a new MMO. And when that new MMO is from ArenaNet, the studio that's been focused on Guild Wars for more than two decades, the excitement is even greater. Having seen Guild Wars 3 in action at Gamescom, and spoken to game director Colin Johanson and lead combat designer Kevin Stocker, my excitement has been justified.
It's like seeing an old friend: the clanking in the vents over your head, the way the ribbed tail passes over objects with a thunk-ka-thunk-ka-thunk-ka-thunk, the head-within-a-head, the screaming. You are here, you are back, you have been impaled through the abdomen and killed.
