What game would you rather see Obsidian work on

[Hurlshort]

When i think of Cyberpunk, I usually think of Shadowrun.

[dustin19]

i voted kotor 3 .... complete the trilogy

[Pop]

I wasn't aware KOTOR was a trilogy. Or are all Star Wars properties parts of trilogies?

[Zoma]

Would be awesome if Obsidian could make a Syndicate Wars RPG.

[Aram]

Call of Cthulhu CRPG. Fully customizable character, huge list of recruitable NPCs with a huge level of interaction, squad turn based style combat.

[Cantousent]

I don't know about all the particulars, but a good Call of Cthulu CRPG would be very nice. In fact, I think Lovecraft's universe is more compelling than his actual writing.

[Pop]

Lovecraft couldn't write for ****, especially dialogue. He was the George Lucas of his day, writing conversations that made it blaringly obvious that the author had very little experience with them. All of the best mythos stuff was penned by friends and contemporaries. The Great Old Ones wikipedia page is quite entertaining.

[Aram]

I like Lovecraft. His powers of description and warped imagination are something few other authors I've read have even neared. The way most of his stories are written, there isn't much dialogue and it isn't really needed.

[Pop]

I'd agree that his descriptive writing is pretty good, but that was out of necessity, to make up for the lack of meaningful dialogue. Had he not his powers of description his actual writing (as opposed to world-building) would be beyond salvage. I still prefer Derleth, mostly. I need to branch out farther and farther away from that nucleus of mythos writers.

Cyberpunk is a science fiction genre noted for its focus on "high tech and low life". Its name was originally developed as a marketing term and coined by Bruce Bethke in his short story “Cyberpunk” written in 1980, but popularized well before its publication by editor Gardner Dozois. Its name is a portmanteau of cybernetics and punk. It features advanced science such as information technology and cybernetics, coupled with a degree of breakdown or a radical change in the social order. According to Lawrence Person:

 

"Classic cyberpunk characters were marginalized, alienated loners who lived on the edge of society in generally dystopic futures where daily life was impacted by rapid technological change, an ubiquitous datasphere of computerized information, and invasive modification of the human body."[1]

 

Cyberpunk plots often center on a conflict among hackers, artificial intelligences, and mega corporations. They tend to be set in a near-future Earth, rather than the far future settings or galactic vistas found in novels like Isaac Asimov's Foundation or Frank Herbert's Dune. The settings are usually post-industrial dystopias, but tend to be marked by extraordinary cultural ferment and the use of technology in ways never anticipated by its creators ("the street finds its own uses for things"[2]). Much of the genre's atmosphere echoes film noir, and written works in the genre often use techniques from detective fiction.

 

i ( like many others) have been dying for a kotor3. and if they can get a decent plot i wouldnt mind them doing it. idk if i like bioware more. but i hope it comes out for regular xbox...

 

No chance. Xbox 360 and PC I bet. That is if K3 will be made before next gen.

 

I wasn't aware KOTOR was a trilogy. Or are all Star Wars properties parts of trilogies?

 

Nearly all, yes.

Not all. And KOTOR won't be a trilogy until (and if) KOTOR 3 is made.

Not nearly all. Most aren't.

Bad Fin. Down.

You're dodging my question

[Gorth]

You're dodging my question

YA RLY!

 

They do.

 

There are days where I hate democracy more than others. Why can't people vote the way I want them to?

 

Maybe I should have limited the options

[Tale]

You're dodging my question

I do not recognize overused internet catchphrases as actual questions.

You're playing hard to get.

 

Show me proof that most Star Wars stuff isn't in trilogies

[Blade-m]

Hope Kotor3 comes out before I am too old to see the pc screan!

[Tale]

Show me proof that most Star Wars stuff isn't in trilogies

Games:

Dark Forces (4 games in series, 1 Dark Forces, 3 Jedi Knight + 1 expansion) Jedi Knight could qualify as a trilogy.

Shadows of the Empire (1 game)

Star Wars Lego (2 games)

X-Wing (4 games)

Rebel Assault (2 games)

Galactic Battlegrounds (1 game + 1 expansion)

Starfighter (2 games)

Battlefront (2 games + 1 PSP only expansion)

Empire at War (1 game + 1 expansion)

 

The entire list under other: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Star_...deo_games#Other

 

Heck, practically every game on that page.

 

Books:

Too many to list. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Star_Wars_books

Some are trilogies, most aren't. Most are singles.

Bah.

 

I guess I've concentrated too much post-RotJ stuff, especially those books from Thrawn trilogy to NJO books tend to be trilogies.

[Mr. H]

Hmm, I'd love to see an edgy more modern rpg set in the late 80's/early 90's, with a jagged alliance/resevoir dogs/desperado sort of atmosphere. With turn based combat. Maybe where you have foriegn language skills and multiple social/dialog skills to utilize in an intense political situation with China and the USSR. That would rock.

 

OR

 

Journey To The Centre of Arcanum

 

Obsidian is pretty good at doing sequels, I guess, except that this would be a series that I actually care about. Plus, that name is quite obviously the best name for a game evar.

[Aram]

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen...or something like it. Think about a cRPG gameworld where all of the world's Victorian and Gothic adventure literature exists in one reality, where the player can design his own classical fiction type character with a top hat and monocle and have a party consisting of Rocambole, Lord Ruthven, Frankenstein's monster, the Time Traveler, and Dr. Van Hellsing.
