Darth Jebus Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 I would like to see a new IP. Don't let my stupid name and avatar fool you. I've been over Star Wars since about a week after the release of RotS. I liked KotOR 2 but think that it was riddled with technical problems and huge gaps in the storyline. I wouldn't mind seeing a third KotOR to finish out the trilogy, but, I just don't think OE should be the dev house to do it. Why? Not because they didn't do a good job with the second installment, they did the best they could under the conditions provided to them by the publisher. And also, that was this company's very first game, and I can't think of a bigger project to cut your new teeth on. No, I would like to see them do a new IP precisely because of what they did on KotOR 2. The concept of the storyline in that game was indeed very deep and mature. I'm not talking about the actual aspects of the gameplay in and of itself. I'm referring directly to the main storyline. I won't go into it here even though the game has been out for about 2 years now. You can check the KotOR 2 spoiler section for all that. But suffice it to say, the storyline was original, deep, and unique and screamed for an IP, in my opinion. I said back then, and I'll say it now. I REALLY would like to see MCA and co. dig deep into their own creativity and give us an RPG that is set in a totally original setting with completely original characters. Like how PS:T was when it first came out. Just my 2 cents.

Volourn Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 Oh SNAP! DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Dark_Raven Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 A bad property at that. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Big Bottom Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Either a new IP or new NWN2 stuff would suit me fine, which is exactly what I think we'll get. I've lost all enthusiasm for Star Wars since I watched Ep 1, but I'd still play KotOR3 if nothing else was available. The best flash game ever!
Lare Kikkeli Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 the new lieroX has online play...dunno how well it works, though.
Plano Skywalker Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Well, isn't one of Obsidian's projects a console (new IP) project with Sega? Anyway, that is the right way to do a new IP in today's climate...console and with a big name publisher. I don't want Obsidian to go the way of Troika with really good, buggy games and no marketing or tech support to speak of. Best to limit IPs to console and with the backing of one of the big boys. PC titles should be safe bets, IMO, at least until Obsidian can afford to have a disaster happen and still survive. I'd like to see one of the older D&D properties brought to life: Dark Sun, Dragonlance, etc. Anything with the letters D&D would sell well, especially with the kind of quality Obsidian would put into it. I agree that Obsidian probably would not touch post-apocalyptic anytime soon. So, I'm thinking a space RPG using the Mass Effect engine under license might be the way to go for a multi-platform title. :D
Pidesco Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 the new lieroX has online play...dunno how well it works, though. The last time I played it (a year or two ago), it just didn't feel like Liero. The physics didn't feel the same.

Darque Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 A bad property at that. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Um. No.
Dark_Raven Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Why of course it is. But instead of talking about that setting be such a dullard, we should stick on topic with that game based in that great setting, FR. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Darque Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Actually the topic is pretty open. P.S. FR is generic.
Dark_Raven Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 FR makes fantasy worlds go around. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Pop Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Actually the topic is pretty open. P.S. FR is generic. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You're talking crazy talk Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
Plano Skywalker Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Actually the topic is pretty open. P.S. FR is generic. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You're talking crazy talk <{POST_SNAPBACK}> actually, the Forgotten Realms setting is "generic", and intentionally so. Dragonlance/Krynn, for instance, is "high romantic/high epic" fantasy. it would be hard to do a Dragonlance campaign that did not involve the pending apocalypse. in Forgotten Realms, just as with Greyhawk or Mystara, you can dress it up or dress it down. you can have an epic situation if you really want but the setting does not dictate such. some settings do....
Sand Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 FR is pretty generic, that is why it is the most often used fantasy setting on the computer front and why I no longer use it in my PnP game. Murphy's Law of Computer Gaming: The listed minimum specifications written on the box by the publisher are not the minimum specifications of the game set by the developer. @\NightandtheShape/@ - "Because you're a bizzare strange deranged human?" Walsingham- "Sand - always rushing around, stirring up apathy." Joseph Bulock - "Another headache, courtesy of Sand"
Dark_Raven Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 Your PnP games must be dull and boring. That is so sad. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
