No new info at all. The interviewer should have asked when the game's coming out. Is it still Q1 2009? (i.e. June), or has it been postponed again?

Nah Nah! That's very unmanly.

That list is total bull**** anyway.

PC > PS3 > 360. Either way, I win.

Tee Hee. My PS3 can never break. At least Sony knows how to build hardware...

Playing FEAR 2. I can't believe I forked out 30

Words of wisdom!

Hey funroc, when will the game be released? Because Sega fails to tell me so! Hey funroc, why don't just you publish AP instead? At least we would get something!

Anyone thinks Torn should be remade with Onyx?

+1

Well I think Sega owns the Alpha Protocol brand so I guess yeah.

It better be, otherwise it gets overshadowed by the late summer/Fall Hollyday releases. The unwashed masses aren't even aware that AP exists. This better starts to change sooner than later now.

Wow, they already are making the manual. That's usually something that comes at last. Did I miss the memo? Is this game coming out without any buzz around it or what?

Yeah, mouth to mouth advertising is more powerful than you might think. Obsidian/Sega haven't even achieved that level for AP yet.

We've resident Germans around here? Didn't know that. But I can answer your question nonetheless. It fully depends on the publisher. German publishers like dtp actually hire a lot pros, and all their games have convincing, if not superb voice acting. The German branches from EA, Activision and THQ ususally make some good efforts there too, if it is a AAA title. Warhammer 40K games used to be in German as excellent as their English counterparts. Microsoft is inconstant, from great (Jade Empire, actually better than the original to "could be better" for ME to downright miserable like HALO 3). ATARI games in German have always been utmost horrible (Fahrenheit). Can't say who did the translation for the English Drakensang though. Either it was outsourced, or dtp just couldn't find/afford the right talent. But then again who would give a crap about a DSA game outside Germany anyways? The only good things from there come from Crytek and Piranha Bytes.

Thanks to Bioware and their silly TOR, LA is not commited to do a Kotor 3, even though Obsidian would be willing.

But that's because Assassins Creed got Jade Raymond. I only say Bewbs.

What do you people think, how great would be the chances of a success for a Babylon 5 RPG?

Auto-healing has just been invented because designers are too lazy to place the medkits in the maps themself.

Regardless how old this news is, Ferg is still my hero!

You know they just could make any sort of FR game and slap the BG name on it. It doesn't has to follow the Bhaal saga, just like NWN2 had nothing to do with NWN story wise. And I wouldn't mind if Jefferson gets remade into a commercial release, with Josh heading the project. That would be far more exciting and fresh than a mere NWN2 mod. They could also drop the toolset and multiplayer stuff with a BG title (as opposed with NWN3 which is almost mandatory there), thus allowing to concentrate on a strong singleplayer experience, and also make the game for consoles as well (prolly more action-orientated). Of course this woul mean that it would directly compete with the Dragon Age series. But hey, if DA proves to be a major succes, this would also justify a new BG game. Or even better, a newly created Obsidian fantasy IP.

I'm pretty sure ME should have reached 3 million sold copies by now. And when the price lowers, you can usually observe another steep increase in sales again, so 3 million should be surpassed easily in the coming months. Those are all potential ME2 customers, mind you. Edit: And ME2 is being made by Bioware. *ahem*

I played a bit around with the demo, but it's totally boring.

Say what you want, but you have to give props to the Ubisoft artists for that extraordinary artistic achievement. If only their writers and designers were as good as their artists...

Bio makes ME2. GAME OVER MAN GAME OVER!
