EnderAndrew Posted June 20, 2005 Author Posted June 20, 2005 The poster just signified the game was in development. We know that. I was really shocked that Dragon Age wasn't shown at all.
Dragon Lord Jones Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 from what I've heard Dragon Age wasn't there because BIO wanted the develope team to stay focused on the game and not waste time on a trailer or demo for the game. good or bad is yet to be seen. as much as I would of liked to see something, I like the fact that they wanna stay attached to the game and not waste time.

6 Foot Invisible Rabbit Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 You purchased them; I'd have thought you'd know. They're premium modules. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh, I thought you mean "private message." Silly me. There was no them. Just one. Harvey
Musopticon? Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 Which one? kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
metadigital Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 I hated that continual re-authorisation process. Boy that was a bad idea: evey time you load a savegame? To the internet? Why not download a hashed (asynchronous) secret once. Check it every time the game engine is updated. Sheesh. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
6 Foot Invisible Rabbit Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 That is why I uninstalled it and deleted it. Played it once but the constant internet check was a major pain. My computer isn't online all the time, only when I am actually doing online stuff. Rest of the time its unhooked, physically. Harvey
metadigital Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 It was a nice proof-of-concept, but I would trust that they won't implement it like that again. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
EnderAndrew Posted June 21, 2005 Author Posted June 21, 2005 You've heard of E3, I take it? " <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Was NwNII even at E3? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes (<{POST_SNAPBACK}>) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Except I checked countless sites and none of them had any info. I checked Atari's list of games at E3 and it didn't include NWN:2. Neither Obsidian, Bioware, Atari's, or Rhomal's site had any indication they were at E3. There are no screenshots, trailers or any new info. If they weren't at the Atari booth, where we they? And how come it didn't show up on any lists of PC RPGs at E3 or RPGs at E3?
alanschu Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 You'd care monetarily if their financial woes mean the games don't get released.
EnderAndrew Posted June 21, 2005 Author Posted June 21, 2005 NWN:2 is the only Atari game I have any interest in at the moment. They've been a pretty poor publisher up to this point, and I don't have a whole lot of love for them.
SteveThaiBinh Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 Didn't Atari (Infogrames) sell the rights to Civilization not so long ago? An incredibly stupid thing to do, unless your company has severe short-term money worries. So I guess they are in trouble. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)
EnderAndrew Posted June 21, 2005 Author Posted June 21, 2005 Yep. Atari is no longer publishing any of Firaxis games anymore.
alanschu Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 Score one for 2K Games. I guess they got the rights to ALL of Firaxis games, as they advertise Pirates on their webpage. They have some pretty big titles on their list (i.e. Elder Scrolls 4 and Civ 4), which should net them some decent capital for funding future games. Although they have had some busts too I see (Close Combat: First to Fight...ugh...I loved the old Atomic Close Combat games, especially A Bridge Too Far and its dynamic campaign...the name has been tainted!)
EnderAndrew Posted June 21, 2005 Author Posted June 21, 2005 I thought Bethesda developed and published the Elder Scrolls series by themselves.

Lord Tingeling Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 That somehow reminds me of that old SNES game made by Blizzard entertainment/Interplay. Oh, the good ol' days, shooting orcs with shotguns and throwing grenades at doors. Sigh. And it sure does suck to be Atari right now. No joke. "McDonald's taste damn good. I'd rtahe reat their wonderful food then the poisonous junk you server in your house that's for sure. What's funny is I'm not fat. In fact, I'm skinny. Though I am as healthy as cna be.
