Mr. Teatime Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 has Obsidian got any plans for things after Project X? Whether it'll be a PC or console title? Or haven't Obsidian thought that far ahead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xindell Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 While this 'is' an excellent question. Personally, I'd just like to know what Project X even IS. But that could just be me. I find your lack of faith disturbing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellester Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Another thing to add to this subject, I am curious about is there only 1 dev team? I would assume there is since your just getting your feet wet, but it doesn't hurt asking. Life is like a clam. Years of filtering crap then some bastard cracks you open and scrapes you into its damned mouth, end of story. - Steven Erikson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atoga Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Is Obsidian even going to touch the console market? Inform me. Run something_kinda_freaky.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Teatime Posted February 10, 2004 Author Share Posted February 10, 2004 If their project is KOTOR2, it's probably going to be console first release, and also optimised for the xbox given how microsoft will be releasing it and it's a big name title. i would hope that afterwards they'd focus on PC only RPGs. I can't imagine microsoft ever letting a game as niche (and as brillaint) as PS:T onto a console, nor that type of game working on the console (isometric, loads of text etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eltharodo Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 I would assume there is since your just getting your feet wet, but it doesn't hurt asking. Perhaps not the best way to descripe the developers of both BGII and PS-T... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iolo Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 They didn't develop BG2. This is probably two early a question to ask anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell Kitty Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 I wouldn't be suprised to see KOTOR2 released simultaneously for PC and Xbox. Spliner Cell 2 is debuting on PC and Xbox (with PS2 and GC versions coming later) even though the original SC was first an Xbox exclusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iolo Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Part of the reason I think for the delay was because KOTOR's original PC deadline would have come out for the PC around the same time as when Star Wars Galaxies shipped on the PC and LucasArts didn't want the two products to compete for salaries. Of course, it also allowed them to focus on improving both games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, it also allowed them to focus on improving both games. I don't remember if it was on the Lucasarts or Bioware site, but the reason given was that seeing as how Star Wars Galaxies was coming out, they didn't want to overwhelm Star Wars fans with two games at once. That's possibly the lamest excuse I've ever heard for an exclusive deal. I wasn't interested in Galaxies, I wanted PC KOTOR. Anyway, if this was really the case then there is no need to delay the PC release this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandias Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 There is no after Project X. It is infinite and timeless. What Is Your Battle Cry? Who is that, skulking over the plains! It is Ozymandias, hands clutching a reflective halberd! He grunts gutterally: "I'm seriously going to punch you into the danger zone, and hit you with a steamroller!!"

Perhaps not the best way to descripe the developers of both BGII and PS-T... It infers that they might not have the funds to support two dev teams, since they haven't made a game that's made any cash yet. Previous dev histories wasn't intended with this remark. And, the BG2 part has already been addressed above. Life is like a clam.

ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 I wouldn't be suprised to see KOTOR2 released simultaneously for PC and Xbox. Spliner Cell 2 is debuting on PC and Xbox (with PS2 and GC versions coming later) even though the original SC was first an Xbox exclusive. It will depend if MS think it's a title that will sell an Xbox or two. If they dont think its likely that people will buy an Xbox because of the delay then they wont waste the money on a "payoff". Thats really the only reason to invest in exclusive titles. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Hades Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Lets not get the cart ahead of the horse now folks. They need to get the first game out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exitium Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 For once I agree with you, Hades. I think that all of this discussion of post-Project X is rather premature at the moment considering we don't even know what the game is yet, though it's highly suspected to be KOTOR2. Exitium RPG Codex - the premier avant garde gaming news site.

That is why there are so many conscientious and so few intelligent people." - Nietzsche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spook Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 I dubt that many would go buy a xbox just because they otherwise have to wait for PC version. Personaly I did not mind having to wait for awhile for KotOR, since we got some more stuff and a more stable game on PC (except maybe that problem at leveling when we got 8 in all stats ).
