Morgoth

If they put Randy Smith and Doug Church into Lead Positions, it could turn out into somewhat decentish... I mean, 2 of my personally most respected design legends vs. the rest of the EA goons might make the game still ~ 1500% better than just the EA goons alone.

Stalker? *makes reloading sound* WHERE? :ph34r:

Okey dokey, I got it for 2,50 EUR. It's mine now. What could a man possibly do wrong with a mere 2,50 EUR anyway? And somehow I'll get it to run on my machine.... I even got System Shock 1 working on XP. Take that! :cool:

Slowly but certainly I become an Ebay addict, but that doesn't mean I buy trash even when I can get it for ONE EURO. So, does anyone here own Blade Runner from Westwood? Does it have the cool mood and so-so cool chars like the movie? How's the gamplay? Does it run on WinXP? Thanks.

Maybe she just didn't like Bockwurst. Those Germans should better stick with their Frankfurters.... :D

Here's a new Heavy Rain interview. Read and feel the Love!

Hey, that's my line, THIEF!

I never played it. And the only logical reason why I've never played it is because it must suck.

That's an obvious step, since the rule of thumb still remains: MMORPGs = socializing with dorks + more Girl powahhh = more money. SP hardcore CRPGs = Feed your imagination = become extinct. Sadly.

With assets, are there also design docs included?

I'd like to know how the deal with Reflexice got established in first place at all... Perhaps pure Desperation? Anyways, I've now played the demo and the only thing I found funny about it were the Charlie Chaplin movie like animations. Or maybe the crusaders back to those days were really so jumpy? :D

Thanks for the answers fellows, I won't get it then. It's a shame actually, the time during the crusades with all it's intrigues, historical characters and the conflicts between Saracens and Christians would have brought fresh wind into the RPG genre. Maybe Obsidian will one day do a kewl CRPG set during the Crusades? :ph34r: But no orcs please.

I know it didn't get much praise and people say that it sucks after Barcelona, but since I could buy it over Ebay for a cheap 7.99,-- EUR at once now, I just have to know how much non-sucky (i.e. Barcelona) gameplay there is. Also, a Soundtrack CD and Making-Of movie is included, so yay? Some mini-reviews could be also very helpful. THX:

EA..... ewwww. Steven Spielberg....Meh. <_< Doug Church? Hell yeahhhh!!!!! Let's see..... Ewww + Meh + Hell yeah = Meh?

Well, I won't argue with you since we both really don't know what's going on behind the scenes.... though don't be surprised if they turn BG3 into a First Person RPG. HAHAHA!

That's why I said unlikely, not impossible. Irrational are definitvely pros's, but not in that specific field. You underestimate the importance of expertise. We're talking about a mulit-million-heavy franchise after all, Bio/Atari better don't let an inexperienced team messing around there.

Interesting.... X-Com and Irrational, a perfect couple.

I always thought that was an april fool. Do you have proof?

The System Shock license is in EA's hands... no idea where the X-Com's is... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Take2 could have bought it from EA. But since they're making Bioshick now, making a Shock3 in addition wouldn't be the most obvious move indeed. I once remember when FFv3rdR was released, Ken mentioned in an interview the team would be itchy to make a turn-based tactical Strategy/RPG thingy. There were also once rumours Firaxis (also owned by Take2) got the X-Com license. But then again this could all be wrong, so I now just will shut up and wait what they're up to. :D

Irrational and BG3? Unlikely, not their style/expertise. I'm more betting for either a Shock3 or a revival of X-Com.

Honestly, I only care about the OC and official expansion packs, not some user made free content with rideable horsies, a few crappy tilesets and other nonsense. As for a bugfix patch: Obsidian can always setup a small bunch of programmers/testers and if no other way possible, release it as beta only.

Screw that PM support, I don't care. I want NWN2 on the shelves ASAP, and I don't care about that DM client either. I'm hungry for new Roleplaying fodder gawddammit! After I got my paws onto a NWN2 box, I don't care anymore if Atari dies or not. Hehehe...

I see, a Far Cry thread. I never got the chance to actually play that game, only a demo, and that is over a year ago. Since it's pretty cheap now, I consider to grab it at some point, but before that I've some questions to the owners: Does it offer decent variety? (leveldesign, enemies, mood). Dou you only shoot mercenaries or are there some kinda abominations as well? Is it more comparable with intelligent FPS like NOLF2 or HL2, or is it just a dumb trigger-fest like Doom/Quake?

You know, gonna bankruptcy... no money.

Now just look at this! Near insolvency? Now I wouldn't wonder if an Atari exe drops into the Obs offices and says "Hey, you gonna ship that **** in four weeks or else...". "Obs devs cry in chorus": Ohhhhh Noeees!!!!!!!!!!
