Winterwolf Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Did Obsidian make any sort of appearance in GDC? I've been looking but all I've got was interviews with magic man's and Bioware's doctors. And since Gearbox revealed their Aliens game then how long does it take for Obsidian to reveal its Alien game? Will Obsidian reveal anything in this year? When will the mass media of gaming realize that Obsidian is cool? It's been like 4 years already and Obsidian still is put aside as the little brother of Bioware. Enough with the dancing clown.

Morgoth Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I think it's about time to announce one of the SEGA projects, anyway. There's too much of this unsettling silence around Obsidian lately. I thought it's a 120+ staff company already, they gotta start talking a bit more about games and stuff. Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winterwolf Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 There's too much of this unsettling silence around Obsidian lately. Exactly. And it's been like 2 months since Chris last updated his blog. What's up with that? Not that I'd check his blog everyday, but there's something fishy going on. Enough with the dancing clown.

@\NightandtheShape/@ Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Silence usually means they're damn busy, which indicates a deadline, or milestone... They're probably so busy because they're getting everything ready for some kind of announcement, or they've fallen behind. I can't say, because I don't know, but I honestly expect they will be showing something soon. "I'm a programmer at a games company...

funcroc Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 considering the blog posts from a few of Obsidian developers, they seem to be busy. http://texturemonkey.blogspot.com/2008/01/tentativeness.html Thursday, January 24, 2008Very busy for me lately, work-wise. As usual I can't get into the specifics in this rather public area, but a lot of ups and downs for me professionally, lately. Things are pretty quiet with our studio publicly, but I'll say this much - we're very busy on all fronts. I checked out the "other game" (Aliens) a little -- well, from a distance -- and it's still got my eye.. very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.E. Sawyer Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 A lot of us (~26) were at GDC, but no one gave any talks. For next year, I'm applying to give a talk on dialogue tools. I can't believe there are developers that still work with Excel as their method of inputting text. twitter tyme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Bottom Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 ...

Today Obsidian has more in common with Black ISle than Bioware, while Bioware managed to get a better profile on their new name, Obsidian is better in a lot of things by now, however this will only manifest in the minds of the people in the coming 5 years let me rephrase myself: "The isle was made of black obsidian" Edited February 24, 2008 by Jorian Drake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xard Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 In the eyes of larger gaming community/media BioWare is the Top Dog. Nothing can change that at this time. How can it be a no ob build. It has PROVEN effective. I dare you to show your builds and I will tear you apart in an arugment about how these builds will won them. - OverPowered Godzilla (OPG) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volourn Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Actually, as the years go by, Obsidian will be less in common with BIS, and be more Obsidian. And, neither BIO or Obsidiana re anyone's 'little brother'. They're seperate companies who either work together in the past udner other companies (BIS was BIO's publisher previously) or worked on the other's games sequels (Obsidian on NWN2 and KOTOR2). BIO, unarguably, has had more success but they have also been around much longer. Obsidian has done well since its formation crafting 2 successful sequels (whether you like 'em or not is irrlevant). Espicially in the cas eof NWN2 which has warranted at least one expansion (and, likely naother on the way). On Topic: Meh. They'll talk when they feel the time to talk not when whiny board members demand it. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

I am looking forward to what Obsidian eventually reveals!* *Hoping for a 2nd NWN2 expansion and KOTOR 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
