Matthew Rorie Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Aliens is more of the 'Terror' side than horror according to James Cameron in the bonus interview. Knowing he is unable to replicate the horror moments in Aliens, he simply focus the pacing more on terror. I think we are getting into technicalities. "Terror" rather than "horror" is good enough for me! Let's get some Aliens! Orson Scott Card had a good essay about the difference between dread (anticipation), horror (primal fear), and terror (shock at something that just happened). Interesting read if you can find it.

Junai Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 (edited) Hey M. Rorie, can you give us a little hint as to what the second unannounced title is? Is it Aliens, or something else? If it's Aliens, then further speculation is meaningless.. J. Edited April 29, 2009 by Junai

Orson Scott Card had a good essay about the difference between dread (anticipation), horror (primal fear), and terror (shock at something that just happened). Interesting read if you can find it. It would be interesting to see whether these three types of fear truly use different neural pathways or are just variations on the same emotion. In particular, horror, defined as 'primal fear'... I wonder whether there are some things we fear genetically without having to learn to do so. Hmm, it is interesting to think about.
Pop Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 I think they could take the Dialogue Stance System (hope that makes it into future games, anyway) and really make a good therapy RPG. Maybe a licensed In Treatment game! Dazzling! Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!

Promethean Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Body horror is the scariest horror. Nothing beats The Thing.
HoonDing Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 What I'd really like to see once in my lifetime, is a RPG set in the Dune universe. Up to now, there have only been a few adventure games and strategy games, but never ever a RPG... frankly I've never understood why not. With the massive amount of detail and all its political intrigue as described by F. Herbert it could constitue an excellent story. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

Maybe a licensed In Treatment game! Dazzling! Why do you feel that they could take the Dialogue Stance System (hope that makes it into future games, anyway) and really make a good therapy RPG. Maybe a licensed In Treatment game? Does the idea that they could take the Dialogue Stance System (hope that makes it into future games, anyway) and really make a good therapy RPG. Maybe a licensed In Treatment game make you feel uncomfortable?

Jaesun Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 woo hoo! New SEKRET Project! Some of my Youtube Classic Roland MT-32 Video Game Music videos | My Music | My Photography
Oner Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 If only it would be a Dark Heresy RPG. Giveaway list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DgyQFpOJvyNASt8A12ipyV_iwpLXg_yltGG5mffvSwo/edit?usp=sharing What is glass but tortured sand?Never forget! '12.01.13.
Morgoth Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 I heard Feargus personally is at the helm of this top-secret project. Rain makes everything better.
Dagon Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 I heard Feargus personally is at the helm of this top-secret project. Where did you heard this? If that's true than it can really be WH40k
Morgoth Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 I heard Feargus personally is at the helm of this top-secret project. Where did you heard this? If that's true than it can really be WH40k I think Matthew or Josh mentioned some time ago that Ferg is the project director of a new unannounced game. And no WH40K please!! Rain makes everything better.
Oner Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 What is NX3? Is it wrong to want a World of Darkness game or a horror RPG? No. It is wrong to not want a World of Darkness or Horror RPG... Truer words have never been said. Personally, I don't know. The chances of being able to playa tzimisce character (my favorite, obviously) is rather low (read: 0.1%, or 40% if Rockstar made it) in a single player game, but MMO...uh, do NOT want.

Syraxis Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 Top Secret New Project? BG 3 IWD3 NWN3? One can only hope. Also: What's "Obsidian day"?
funcroc Posted June 13, 2009 Author Posted June 13, 2009 (edited) http://www.rpgcodex.net/phpBB/viewtopic.ph...ghlight=#801370 (via GameBanshee) This is the RPG that I and several others have been working on. Feargus has actually made time available from running the business to also contribute in design and production roles too. Obviously we can't talk about it yet, but we have a lot of great and talented people working on it: George Zeits Tony Evans Nathaniel Chapman Daniel Teh Adam Brennecke Rich Taylor Matthew Campbell Kevin Lin Matt Festa ...just to name a few. Tony Evans - lead designer (SoZ) George Ziets - lead creative designer (MotB) Nathaniel Chapman - lead systems designer (SoZ) Matt Festa - lead area designer (Aliens) Rich Taylor - lead programmer (NWN2s) Adam Brennecke - programmer (all) Daniel Teh - former Gas Powered Games programmer Matthew Campbell - former Left 4 Dead team programmer Kevin Lin was one of multiplayer engineers on The Lord of the Rings: Conquest at Pandemic Studios and before joining Pandemic, he had been the lead network programmer at Smart Bomb Interactive. So, probably some multiplayer feature may be in this project. Edited June 13, 2009 by funcroc
Gorth Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 So, now we are going to need some sand bags to build a shelter with... when the D&D 4th ed. MMO gets announced A WH40k game would be too good... Maybe that Seven Dwarves game? “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.
