I knew all those ritual virgin sacrifices would pay off!!! :ermm:

 

Still, reading stuff like "the time is right to bring the game to a new audience" sends a chill down my spine though, considering how the Jagged Alliance franchise is being abused at the moment. Lets wait and see if they cast "Raise Dead" on their website, they might have more info on what their intentions are. The gaming gods knows, the later Carmageddons suffered under "time trial" missions and other stupid stuff.

Are you guys still gnashing your teeth at me? Or can I fade off back into obscurity?

I don't think I've ever gnashed my teeth? Just noted an impression about the way you've treated the game you were working for a time when posting here, which you, by the way, exaggerated in your response.

 

Nothing else to say on the subject.

 

Also: IGN asks industry "big names" about storytelling in video games.

 

The Witcher 2's Tomasz Gop and Mass Effect's Casey Hudson also included.

So, why they didn't asked Obsidian? Would have made too much sense, I'll guess.

 

 

@Carmageddon: I really like to see something new, good. But I don't have high hopes.

I wonder why in both cases they asked a producer? rather than the writers responsible?

 

Its in general a very weird list of people asked. I could name tons of industry writers/designers I'd like to hear from first than some of the names on the list.

Coz producers (project managers) probably have more say in storytelling? :ermm:

 

Having dedicated writers is mostly an RPG phenomenon, anyway, if you look at other genres most of the writing is done by people in the project management sector (I think the Force Unleasheds were a pretty good example of this). Besides, since they are talking about cinematics, cutscenes etc., it's more like asking the "movie director's" opinion over the "screenwriter's".

You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

I could make you a DVD, but only if Nightshape is cool with it.

 

Oh I'm so cool with it, I'm up for a special edition I'm that cool with it... Comes with your own free tea-bag, so you can have a brew while you watch.

Well true. That doesn't really apply in some of these cases though?

He called an Aliens game a turd!

 

But it could be a turd.

 

You shut up, I don't want to hear that!

 

Can't deny the possibility.

 

Watch me!

You know I'm not allowed to like you right. But I can like what you said.
