ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 I dont see the relevence between what he does and making games. It's a totally different thing. I also conclude he's a low level employee to even hint at his job on a public message board. How many PC RPGS of recent years measure up to KOTOR II ? Not many. If you then take into account that KOTOR II was done in a year, thats not only fantastic, it's darn near miraculous. As we were talking about on the other thread. It's not just KOTOR II that has a weak ending. The biggest mistake I personally think Obsidian made was leaving the bits in. People can speculate till they are blue in the face and no one will take them seriously. But leaving behind the files left evidence and thats more difficult to shake off. 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...
Gorth Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 like in game development, whose publisher facilitates distribution of the product to the end user, our "publisher" is not the one who will actually be using our products. they mainly distribute our tools to outside contractors who use them. i do not see how obsidian developing for lucasarts could be much different. it appears to me that feargus is just not a very savvy negotiator. If working for a large company, supplying specialised tools for others is your only reference, that would explain the tunnel vision on your perspective. Games developers are twelve by the dozen and don't tell a publisher "to wait". In this case, the deadline became set in stone for reasons not entirely known, possibly, they figured that with a game getting released together with the third movie, a second game released at the same time would hurt the buttonline. So it get's released at xmas where the seasonal extra sales would cover up for any shortcomings in the released product, since other products presumably are lined up for the movie release. For the publisher, all that matters is return of investment, reputation doesn't really matter, they are the sole provider of Star Wars products. If you don't understand that a new company don't put the same weight on the scale as a decade old, multi million dollar company, then it might be time to get out of your protective shell and see the real world a bit. I dont see the relevence between what he does and making games. It's a totally different thing. I also conclude he's a low level employee to even hint at his job on a public message board.

Gorth Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 that's funny, it reminds me of how you keep avoiding the argument and attacking me instead, perhaps to cover up your extremely feeble understanding of what it is we are actually discussing. Ouch, you hurt my manly pride... :'( ... (Not! :D) Good trolls have been rare since Volourn grew old and toothless... Sorry whiny one, but you are the one, that wanted to market yourself as an authority on the subject. When I read your previous posts, I thought you were a college boy, doing an internship for G.D. or a similar fair sized company. But when I got to the "the story was already there" part and this: you are not taking into account that it took a good year and a half to develop the game engine. (referring to the K1 engine) then I could only believe one of two things: 1) You are the reception guy, hanging out with the developers in the lunch room and don't really know much about how things work outside your familiar surroundings or 2) Bioware is more stupid than I give them credit for, when they can't manage two teams working concurrently on a project. To be fair, both are valid options, but I did make my mind up. There isn't really any "argument" to avoid, when all you are doing is being as insulting as possible and spamming the the post with a "Shame" phrase with Ctrl-V. An argument can only take place between two parts who knows something about the subject being discussed. Your attempts to pass off adjectives ad nauseam as an "argument" doesn't do the job. Why not just let it rest at, that you didn't think they did a good job, because, frankly, your attempts at "arguing" for why they did it, fails miserably because of your lack of knowledge of development process meets business process... “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

SteveThaiBinh Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 what i actually do is work on software tools used to help develop the software systems employed on fighter aircraft. My feeling is that there may be some important differences between the industry you describe and my own understanding of how the game development process works. All of this is based on some assumptions of my own, as I appreciate that you can't say directly who you work for, but my knowledge of the US defense industry is little or nothing. ...if there are no features they can sacrifice, then they (the customer) have very few options other than to accept our proposal. It depends on how far along in the development process this takes place, but LucasArts may have more options in this scenario, i.e. to take the game to a different developer. ...when we tell them we can't deliver to their deadlines, they usually get pretty irate and start demanding things from the department head (who is my supervisor's supervisor's supervisor's supervisor). she then negotiates with them and (generalizing here) tells them they will need to hand over some budget to get more people on it if they want it by that date. The power relations that exist between your company and the customer/publisher may be substantially different from those between LucasArts and Obsidian. If your customer demands something unreasonable from an employee or team, there is the option of getting support from your supervisor's supervisor's supervisor, as you said. At this higher level, your company's size offers some protection. The customer very likely has several long-term projects with your company, and both parties have a strong interest in maintaining good relations. Obsidian's size and newness put it at a disadvantage both in the original negotiations and in any subsequent discussions. Obsidian needed LucasArts much more than LucasArts needed Obsidian, and also needed to avoid getting a bad reputation with publishers for being 'difficult'. It's also true that judging whether a product is of acceptable quality or not is much more subjective in the media/entertainment industry. Officially, LucasArts and Obsidian can take the position that the content of the game is fine as it is, and many gamers agree. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now."

Guest Dowie100 Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Up until the End I found that Kotor2 Was a lot better than Kotor1 The story was dark and interesting. Your Party, characters were more interesting, even if the dialogue tended to repeat The new robes and sabers were great Ranged weapons are better The chemicals idea or making medpacks was great The levels were good and the music made expecially the ship at Peragus very creepy and it felt wrong, The music rocks The cutscenes are great if short, All the turret scenes were good apart from the terrible terrible one at the end of Peragus The Characters stance and lightsaber animations improved as you leveled up The new force powers were good The decision you make really affected parts, ie no Carth etc There were more Sith Lords to fight, The voiceacting was amazing, some were so funny others mysterius, and all fitted their parts If they just added one or two scenes at the end it would be perfect, I personally would be happy with: 1) The Party attacks Kreia (Handmaiden/Desciple, Mira and Atton) 2) The conclusion of the Remote-Goto Scene 3) The *sniff* goodbye scene between Handmaiden/Desciple and the exile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 1) The Party attacks Kreia (Handmaiden/Desciple, Mira and Atton) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I was playing ShadowHearts II last night and a scene occured just like that and it instantly reminded me of the one in KOTORII. Except in this case you royaly got your arse handed to you... Fantastic scene though, lots of drama. Anyway that's a great list I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now.

Sarjahurmaaja. Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 "our customer is the publisher. they largely determine the budget our projects receive. our customer (and the term "customer" is what is commonly used here when referring to them) is the head of the program that we are currently building software tools for. what happens is that we have meetings with the customer and they tell us what they need and their need date. we go into analysis phase and determine exactly how long we think it will take to deliver what they need, which is almost always far past their need date." I bet in your business, the publisher won't come and say "Hey, since you guys did such a good job getting the presentation version ready, we decided to publish it a few months earlier than we agreed!" which, IIRC, was basically what Obsid got after E3.

Whoopee bloody do it's alot more than just the ending and you know that. why do you people keep dismissing this as if nothing is wrong? there are several references in the game that refer to cut material. since this material is cut, one does now know what the hell the game is referring to. it is very confusing and, quite frankly, some inexcusably sloppy editing. there are several plot lines in the story that are just dropped, leaving you wondering what the hell happened to this quest i was on that was so damn important that now has just disappeared into thin air? if they had just taken a few more days they could have cleaned it up to a point where we wouldn't have even known things had been cut out. as it is now, when i finished the game i was so confused by the incoherent story that i just didn't care anymore and was glad the damn thing was over. before i ever even knew about the cut material, anyone that asked me about the game, i told them that the story just didn't come together and it didn't make sense. when i read through and listened to the content that was cut, i was like, "wow, the story makes sense now. now i understand what was going on." that is pretty damn sad. i shouldn't have to apologize to you or anyone else for wanting what i paid for. it's great that you are satisfied with the incoherent babble that is what they offered us for a story, but you'll just have to excuse the thousands of us who aren't. there are so instances where they just leave you hanging. what of the crashed and utterly inoperable ebon hawk that just magically fixes itself so you can fly off at the end? i don't know about you, but when i play a game, i explore EVERTHING. i was on top of the ebon hawk on malachor and that thing was freakin buried in rock and damaged so badly that they could not have possibly fixed it in the amount of time i took to comb the entire explorable area of malachor's surface and the sith compound, which i did. not to mention that there were no resources on malachor to help repair the ship even if i wanted to! what of atris and darth nihilis as the posterboys in all the magazines and ads to only have them for a brief moment in the game? what of all the screenshots and video footage they advertised that were eventually cut from the game? what i saw advertised for this game is not what i got. i saw screen and footage that don't even exist in this game! that is downright false advertisement! what i was shown that influenced me to buy this game is not even in this game! there is so much more in this game that just can't be explained, and yet you people whisk it away as if it doesn't exist. it's quite sad. you are just showing obsidian, lucasarts, and every other developer/publisher that you are just sheep and you're happy to be fed any garbage they feel like throwing at you. and not to mention the throngs of bugs and glitches. numerous people can't even play the damn game. for what was supposed to be the sequel to one of the greatest RPGs ever, it just fell flat on it's face, excuse me and thousands of other people for being sorely disappointed and feeling downright cheated. and you fanboys can keep coming back with your "with the amount of time they had..." excuses all day long, but it's utter bull****. they could have and should have taken more time to finish it or they should have never embarked on that journey to begin with. they had a vision for this game and it was grand and they didn't deliver. they didn't deliver and the result i got was pure crap. i would much rather never have played this game at all than to experience this total and complete disappointment.

NeoHunter Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 AgainstOne, I'm not sure if it is true but I heard that LucasArts only gave Obsidian a very limited and tight time frame for the development of the game. If this is true, then I believe the fault lies with LucasArts. If it is true, then I believe LucasArts failed to understand that to make things great, you need to give more time. But I hope that Obsidian does a new patch that would actually fix the various bugs and glitches as well as put back in the missing cutscenes and movies.

jaguars4ever Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 as a software developer myself, blah blah blah. I'm a dumbf***. Fixed. ---- Hey Agaisntfreak, even though you're miserably failing to prove your points, you keep repeating yourself like a parrot - Rwrawwwk. You insist on bashing Obsidian's work, even though you're clearly just a two-bit game programmer wannabe, who even Troika would reject. "Rwrawwwk. I think it'd be kewl to flame Obsidian because I enjoy seeing crappy linear stories because it's so realistic and I just bet every gamer in the whole world will love it too. Rwark what's that? Not worth implementing you say? Nonsense! Why?... Rwark because I like it." Too bad your coding skills don't equal your propensity to make an ass of yourself - then maybe you'd actually be a game developer instead of leading Iraq's Defense Program. Happy missile crashing, jackass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nartwak Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 The only time I encountered bugs (PC) was when I had been alt-tabbing out seven or so times or had been playing the game for more than six hours at a time. Which is irrelevant since AgainstOnes argument relies on the faulty idea that Obsidian Entertainment had much leverage in this contract, or the latitude to breach the contract with noncompliance.

Fionavar Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Well I think that at this time this particular thread has run its course for the time being. I thank everyone for their interest and desire to share their impressions thus far.
