Chinz Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 So you guys think we’ll see or hear anything about Avowed at E3? I personally think the game is still years away and E3 2023 or 2024 is more likely but what do you think? I hope it’s sooner and am really looking forward to what obsidian will do with open world RPGs and a proper budget and development time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Publisher wise there are quite a few, even Nintendo is attending again and more importantly Microsoft, so there is at least a chance we see something from avowed there, seeing grounded is a given I think.

I hope they make it free for viewing I usually have to watch coverage or live streams of BlizzCon, and I hope e3 doesn't charge for viewership to supplement the lack of physical audience/booths.

Draxicus Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 The two things I'd love to see in Xbox conference are Eric Fenstermaker stepping in and announcing he is the director and lead narrative designer for this game, and an in-engine trailer. But a man can only dream... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nay, just all I have been hearing was companies abandoning E3, and doing their own thing. Just check and Microsoft indeed does still plan to have a showcase. E3 or no E3 I am always up for news about avowed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComradeYellow Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 E3 is still a thing? But hopefully we'll get some news on Avowed and Elden Ring, in any case. If not, then it's losing it's artificial prestige even faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theonlygarby Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 I doubt we get anything on avowed. I'm fine with them not showing gameplay until they are farther on. It's always misleading. If it was soon to be released I'd prefer gameplay... but I doubt that's the case so I'd rather some sort of plot reveal. Probably won't get either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinz Posted May 26, 2021 Author Share Posted May 26, 2021 Sponger, apparently an InXile and Obsidian insider as of other users on resetera said that Avowed will be shown at E3, here's a quote from him I need to say that I'm a little bit confused with Jeff's statement that Avowed will not be ready for E3 as the info that I have is that "we'll have a trailer for our big game at E3" and "Avowed will be shown this year" and "game is in great shape, almost fully on schedule". ... From the conversation I was convinced that it would be a gameplay trailer for E3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCrimson Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Well I for one hope there *is* a gameplay trailer at E3/soon. Doesn't have to be long or extensive or a release date etc, just a little more concept than what we currently have, which is basically nothing. But if there isn't anything, that's all right, I'll live. I also hope the inclusion of a robust creation-toolset kit ends up existing/being true because that could add 300% more interest in the game, for me. “Things are as they are.

kanisatha Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Seems like Xbox is going to have a major presence at E3. According to rumors Obsidian will show something from not only Avowed (which apparently is in very good shape production-wise) but also another unannounced game (with speculation being on whether this will be TOW2 or something else). And Bethesda is rumored to be ready to show Starfield. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ordo! Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 (edited) And Jorge Salgado who was Lead Area Designer on Avowed left Obsidian last month. Edited June 8, 2021 by Ordo! Language error 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheisEjsing Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Aww man, Jorge left? He was there over 10 years, if I recall right. One of my favorites at the studio. A big loss for Avowed. Wish him all the best, and hope Obsidian can hire a worthy replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ordo! Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Yep but after eleven years of work I can imagine why he want to move to another place. Oh and Justin Bell also left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, some talent refreshing may be a very good thing for Obsidian, much as I've also said about Bioware. So long as the very top people, at the level of project director and above, stick around, we're good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for example Jorge Salgado was a lead narrative designer so i hope it doesn't indicate a bad development for Avowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda raises a yellow flag when someone high up quits mid development. Same things happened at CDPR and look how that turned out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boeroer Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Jorge Salgado is an Area Designer, not a Narrative Designer. Lucien Soulban was the Narrative Designer who left (he was at Obsidian for a very short time only - maybe he missed Canada too much, no idea). Kate Dollarhyde is a nice replacement. What made me frown more is that Justin Bell left. On Twitter it sounded all nice and fair and as if no feelings were hurt and so on. But it's a big loss imo. 1 Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
