All the best and the fans miss you. Will closly watch everything you do in the future.

George Ziets leaving Obsidian (again) (Layoffs related?)
Unlikely though as he hasn't adjusted a new title but removed the old. Also what virumor said about his forum account.

George Ziets leaving Obsidian (again) (Layoffs related?)
Think this deserves its own thread. From Linkedin I truly think that Ziets surpassed even Avellone in some areas regarding video game writing. It's like a dream-team split apart and I really hope that Ziets lands a job in a team that caters to his talents. (I even more hope that I'm completly wrong and he just changed positions or something like that, damnit. Though it seems unlikely as it just fits too well.)

Layoff hits Obsidian?
... The one I feared most during the last month..... George Ziets (I hope I'm wrong on this as his LI profile still says Obsidian Entertainment in the title. But maybe he just hasn't changed it yet. Or maybe it was like this before. Or maybe I'm just making excuses up to feel better) Edit: Nope, its changed recently. Damnit. :( :(

Obsidian: We Would Make Alpha Protocol 2
Technically it's possible just not plausible. Making a AAA game costs a massive amount of money compared to the money being raised on kickstarter, and that doesn't even include the even more massive amount of money needed to market the game. So would it be possible to raise, say, $25M on kickstarter? Sure, but it's not remotely plausible. You would have a higher chance of winning the lottery or getting struck by lightning twice in the same day. Even if you found a bunch of incredibly rich people, you'd still be talking at least 2500 people donating $10,000 each. That's just not even remotely plausible. Possible yes, but so is a falling piece of meteor landing directly in your coffee cup. Doesn't mean it will happen. You're overreacting a little bit. 2'500 people a $10'000 is the same as 250'000 people a $100. And its NOT impossible that Kickstarter could reach such backer numbers in the future the more established it gets. After all, 250'000 copies sold of a bigger game counts as rather low. (Of course in that case I doubt the average would be ~100) I agree at the moment its implausible and Kickstarter probably will not be used for such big numbers, I just disagree with your reasoning. The chances are nowhere near as low as the examples you describe.

As expected and yet surprisingly well done
Not necessarlly. It can be benefitial with both sides realizing that they are different from how it used to be. Keeping them apart just strengthens the anger and hate between legionaires/those loyal to them and Jeyne/archons. That atleast was my reasoning for working together.

As expected and yet surprisingly well done
Considering I was a major reason she pulled that crap in the first place. Had no problem with leaving her alive. So, no. Didn't have any problems leaving her alive. Still, have a "worse" impression of the legion (especially Odo) than I have of Kassynder even after the end. And its not like any of the real puppet masters behind the whole thing have appeared so far (except maybe Azunai).

- Wasteland 2 Kickstarter
http://www.gamebansh...iew/page-2.html It's a very positive sounding interview in general. Anyone notice the "s"? Also Onyx is not used. Wonder what engine they are going with.- RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS THREAD!
- Wasteland 2 Kickstarter
A lot of the design has been done already, though. Or am I misremembering.- As expected and yet surprisingly well done
- Obsidian to co-develop Wasteland 2 if 2.1 M is reached
Because Onyx would certainly be capable of doing that and is already built up for use in rpgs including complex dialouge-trees.- Obsidian to co-develop Wasteland 2 if 2.1 M is reached
A shame.- Obsidian to co-develop Wasteland 2 if 2.1 M is reached
Hopefully this doesn't mean that they do not use the Onyx engine.
