December 27, 200421 yr So? Its not a CRPG. I am more interested in J.E.'s work in CRPGs than anything else.
December 27, 200421 yr Author So? I have been interested in none of your opinion and will be forever.
December 27, 200421 yr Ahhh, feel the love. btw, I'm with Hades, it's not an rpg and will probably suck. 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
December 27, 200421 yr Didn't two other Obsidian dudes join Midway to work on that game too? (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
December 27, 200421 yr But Visc, does JE do anymore RPGs ? I got the picture he's done with Didn't two other Obsidian dudes join Midway to work on that game too? You mean Tom Hall, John Romero and Warren Spector ? None of them are from Obsidian though.
December 27, 200421 yr So? Its not a CRPG. I am more interested in J.E.'s work in CRPGs than anything else. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What kind of game is it? Ive played the old c64 Gauntlet but I dont think theyll just rehash that concept.

December 27, 200421 yr I am sure that is the case but I liked J.E.'s work in CRPGs. He has a good head on his shoulders for the most part even though grenades aren't melee weapons.

December 27, 200421 yr Probably not my cup of tea, I'm afraid. It's like everything else, if folks manage to pull out the interesting facts and post about them here, I'm far more likely to take a real look at it. Otherwise... well, maybe a magazine will have an interesting article or a friend might discuss it with me. Since I follow development more than my friends, though, that doesn't seem likely. I hope it does well, though. I like to hear about folks succeeding.

December 27, 200421 yr I am sure it will do fine. Maybe not a blockbuster but enough to warrant its existance.
December 28, 200421 yr Tom Hall, John Romero and Warren Spector are all working with Sawyer on a Gauntlet game? Wow.
December 28, 200421 yr Barring Romero, Midway now has too much talent for it's own good. And to think it's all wasted on a mindless gauntlet hack n' slash. The gods must be crazy.
December 28, 200421 yr Doesn't mean he can't work on a CRPG in the future. Common, Midway needs a kickarse Sci fi CRPG with J.E. in the lead. Warren can stop him from making grenades into melee weapons, but It would be so kickarse. :D
December 28, 200421 yr J.E. Sawyer (Icewind Dale 2, Jefferson, and Van Buren) Dave Maldonado (Fallout 2, PS:T, Icewind Dale 2) Tom Hall (Anachronox) Warren Spector (Ultima Underworlds, System Shock, Deus Ex) They need to rally together and make something supa.
December 28, 200421 yr Together they could make that one cyberpunk sci fi game that I have always wanted. May their powers combine! (w00t)
December 28, 200421 yr J.E. Sawyer (Icewind Dale 2, Jefferson, and Van Buren)Dave Maldonado (Fallout 2, PS:T, Icewind Dale 2) Tom Hall (Anachronox) Warren Spector (Ultima Underworlds, System Shock, Deus Ex) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Geez, I had no idea they had a line-up like this one, and you even left out Romero from that list! They sure as hell don't lack talent! Warren Spector was one of the most trusted game developers (by me) until he decided to put his name on Deus Ex: Invisible War.. But System Shock and Deus Ex shows he can do tremendous games if he wants. I just hope he hasn't lost his touch. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
December 28, 200421 yr I know a lot of people was miffed about the change in the ammo system but I have read the reasoning behind it and it was sound. Nanofluidic gel release system for a projectile weapon would operate in the way that it did.

December 28, 200421 yr He indeed has an impressive resume. The Wing Commander games are my favorite non-CRPG games of all time.
December 28, 200421 yr Wow, I had no idea one of my favourite Commodore 64 games was made by Warren Spector (Space Rogue, a very bugged Elite-type space trading game that totally destroyed the limits of what people thought was possible on a Commodore 64. it had filled-in vector graphics!) but that means I've enjoyed his games for 15 years!
