Interesting thing about The Entity is that, like The Amityville Horror was based on a true story [and AFAIK doesn't have the controversy surrounding it whether it really happened or not like Amityville].

thanks for that link, i remember it being based on a true story but i hadn't been able to read any more about it.

[Expanding the Audience]

not to rain on any parades, but Kotor failed to meet it's projected sales goals. It was considered to be "too heady, not enough action" for a broad appeal. It was Critically acclaimed, but not consumer acclaimed.

 

Reaching broad audience bases is a great idea, but it makes you walk a very fine line. Too much action and you loose the strategic players, too much story and dialogue interaction and you lose the action crowd, etc.

 

I think games need to cater to a genre and do that well. Instead of answering to 2 audiences and try to make a action/rpg hybrid (or what have you). you'd be better off making an Action game that delivers eveything the action crowd wants. You have a smaller sales base, but sales over time will show a profit.

 

just my 2 cents

Tenta, you have it all wrong at the Interplay baords. In fact, I was pretty much offered modship if it had come available at one time by a certain head Boardsperson. This was during the first hoopla crap during the original annoncement of FOBOS. You shoudln't speak of things when you so clearly don't have all the facts.

 

And, i don't flame everyone who disagrees with me. There are many people who have disagreed with me and I ahven't flamed them. Arkan, and Gromnir are two examples of this. So, please you shouldn't lie or exaggerate.

 

I do admit to being a little patronizing; but I'm certainly not unique in that regard. You should look in the mirror for that one, friend.

 

Atriedes, thanks, I guess.

 

SS, lol.

and he responds with such mature and reasonable comments. If someone says anything bad, call them a liar. Brilliant.

 

you win Volourn.

[The Magical Volo thread!]

i think making Volourn a mod would be a poor idea. He generally responds to anyone who disagrees with him with flames and patronizing crap. He tried forever to get mod status at the Interplay boards and it wasn't given to him, with good reason.

anyone remember seeing an older horror movie called "The Entity"? nice and creepy ghost story, along the lines of Amityville Horror.
