RPGs in Production

[Darque]

7th sea would make for a fantastic pirate based cRPG

[alanschu]

Were you hoping for an open-ended game still Karka?

 

Perhaps you start out as a lowly underling pirate and work your way up?

 

Or would you prefer a game with a more strict story line?

 

How would you make it RPGish?

[GhostofAnakin]

I'm craving a good pirate RPG.

 

Pirates! is a boring and repeative game. It is not an RPG also.

NWN has a premium module that has pirates. :D

Mmm. I think an open ended and non-linear piracy rpg would be great. In fact a prpg must be non-linear and open ended i think. Because there are no paths on sea

 

But i don't say "no" for a good story.

In that module you can walk under the sea...

 

In fact i'm not looking for a fantasy and piracy hibrid rpg. I don't wanna cast spell with my pirate

It will be interesting to see how Jade Empire 2 takes over from the original JE. K2 had its flaws, but Bioware has been making sequels in the form of expansions for original games.

 

Will keep an eye out for JE 2 and see what happens.

 

Some links for Jade Empire 2:

[kumquatq3]

Kum-kun doesn't know what he's talking about.

 

Sea Dogs wasn't good enough?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

no

 

The remake of "Pirates!" took the only aspect of that game that people hold up and it shamed it.

[kumquatq3]

A conan action/rpg

 

game play and engine look uninspired

I dunno, I think it fits that "dark fantasy" look.

[Dark Moth]

Has anyone mentioned Hellgate: London yet? Looking good, looking good. And yes, it is an RPG - a first-person RPG.

Yea, it's in the list

[Darque]

I'm looking forward to that, I need another Diabloish game.

[kumquatq3]

ya, don't we need someone to keep this going now?

[Volourn]

Mass Effect.

[GhostofAnakin]

Mass Effect.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

The one I'm most intrigued by, for some reason.

[jaguars4ever]

Its looks like its going to be another action CRPG, kind of like Jade Empire but in space.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Hey, at least it's not fantasy.

[jaguars4ever]

Ugh. "Ancient evil" almost definitely = "supernatural powers".

[GhostofAnakin]

That remains to be seen.  If there is magic and "supernatural powers" involved it goes back in the fantasy pile.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Did you read the article from gamespot that I linked in that Mass Effect thread? It sounded like they're going to have sorta cybernetic implant-type ability, which I assume will provide the "magic" ability.

[Volourn]

Whocares. Fantasy is the best genre, anyways.

[Volourn]

No. Space is. It's overrated. Fantasy can never be overused. period.

Too many RPGs don't take the trouble to put an interesting spin on the fantasy or space setting, leading to a feeling of their being overused. Gothic 2 was a good example of a game that just felt to me to be too generic. Looking down that list, I could suggest others. The Star Wars setting is getting that way, as the Star Trek one did before it. Since this new movie Serenity is very successful, perhaps we can expect an RPG based on that universe in the near future. If that turns out to be PNJ, I'd be happy.

Settings....we need more "no magic" settings. MCA's high school RPG idea sounds good.

 

I personally would love to play a game where I start as a final year student in the Harvard MBA program, then I accept a job in a prominent New York brokerage firm. After about a year, I decide to buy a car. I actually go down to the Ferrari dealership and haggle with guy over a price.

 

I wine and dine clients, get hit on by client's wives, and otherwise have all kinds of distractions and temptations that such a world presents.

 

Then, after about 20 hours into the game, I realize that I am a brainwashed secret agent for some cabal trying to take over the world, etc....

[Musopticon?]

I'd so play that if it were a indie game. For million moolah budget rpgs, I want fantastic settings and ear/eyecandy.

[FrancoTAU]

What about Mount & Blade? I wouldn't consider most indies since they turn out to be vaporware, but this guy is constantly updating the game and has a demo/beta.

[Musopticon?]

I was wondering that too. But Ender isn't posting anymore, so somebody has to start a new thread in order to update the existing list.

Edited October 21, 2005 by Musopticon?

[Shadowstrider]

Not necessarily, I could edit it in. I won't, however. I might start a new thread, or if someone wanted to start one I can take care of stickyin' it.
