Magister Lajciak Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Hopefully a 3.5E NWN2 expansion, rather than some 4E game...
H Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Why are you sure it refers to PNJ, and not to another project?
funcroc Posted May 1, 2009 Author Posted May 1, 2009 (edited) Just my guesswork. But while Obsidian is hard at work trying to finish up Neverwinter Nights 2 for a summer release, they're also hard at work on another unannounced project. All we have at the moment is speculation based off of some concept art of dwarves resembling those popularized by Snow White but we do know is that this new game will use Unreal Engine 3. Urquhart also mentioned their desire to do a Knights of the Old Republic 3 should LucasArts desire it in the future. I'd be surprised if they didn't. Edited May 1, 2009 by funcroc
Morgoth Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Well, perhaps it was just some concept art of a lilliputian version of Michael Thorton. Rain makes everything better.
Gorth Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Maybe you finally got to play the evil witch?... Going up against the mighty Seven Dwarfs and their henchmen. Boss fights before facing the cabal of Dwarfs include duels with Prince Charming and Snow White. Use brute force, trickery, poisoned apples, whatever gets the job done. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Jaesun Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 PNJ is Obsidian's cancelled title based on UE3. Ahhh thanks. Sad to hear. Some of my Youtube Classic Roland MT-32 Video Game Music videos | My Music | My Photography
Bartimaeus Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 Maybe you finally got to play the evil witch?... Going up against the mighty Seven Dwarfs and their henchmen. Boss fights before facing the cabal of Dwarfs include duels with Prince Charming and Snow White. Use brute force, trickery, poisoned apples, whatever gets the job done. Thank you, But seriously, folks...the name really can't be more than a REFERENCE to Snow White...right..? Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

Boss fights before facing the cabal of Dwarfs include duels with Prince Charming and Snow White. Use brute force, trickery, poisoned apples, whatever gets the job done. Thank you, But seriously, folks...the name really can't be more than a REFERENCE to Snow White...right..? Why? Why shouldn't an RPG be based around Grimm-style fairy tales? Would MotB be any less brilliant if Safiya was a Fairy Godmother? Would it gut the story if you met Myrkul in a coffee shop? I do dislike this idea that what makes a good story or setting is that it takes place in a fortress made out of a thousand skulls, or on a plane crafted from billions of years of pretension, in a parliament made of a hundred-thousand objections to the split infinitive. It's not - it's what is done with it. What's cool about your conversation with Myrkul is the content of the conversation, not that it takes place where it does. What's cool about Kreia is her character, not that she can make lightsabres float. [/rant] This particularly rapid, unintelligible patter isn't generally heard, and if it is, it doesn't matter.

Boss fights before facing the cabal of Dwarfs include duels with Prince Charming and Snow White. Use brute force, trickery, poisoned apples, whatever gets the job done. I'd totally play this game. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man

"takes place in a fortress made out of a thousand skulls" No, but it's a nice little tidbit in the story, innit? Quote How I have existed fills me with horror.

Darth InSidious Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 More clich This particularly rapid, unintelligible patter isn't generally heard, and if it is, it doesn't matter.
Hurlshort Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 Actually I think it would have been fantastic if this was a game aimed at a younger audience. Very few developers are tackling family friendly software, and the ones that are focus solely on that. Sierra used to release stellar games that could really entertain both adults and children, and I think that is missing from today's marketplace. But hey, it's canceled, so there ya go.
Humodour Posted May 31, 2009 Posted May 31, 2009 Larian (Divine Divinity) does children's games in between their Divinity RPGs. They sell like crazy and are easy to churn out apparently.
RangerSG Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 I think a fairy-tale style inspired RPG would be a blast, and not just for kids. In fact, I think what would be fun is a RPG where the world is essentially medieval tech and virtually non-existent magic if you stay in the cities or where the faithful have power. But the further you go into the wild, the stranger things get, until you get the sort of fairy-tale weirdness. Or in a modern setting like the Dresden Files. Most people don't/won't see the weirdness. But it's there for the people who can sense it. And a few can manipulate it.

crakkie Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 Heh, interesting: http://vimeo.com/4789520 AP with vehicles and skydiving. "This was created in-engine to show the publisher visually what they could expect." I wonder if they're demanding they be put back in. Oh Jimmy, you were so funny. Don't let me down. From habit he lifts his watch; it shows him its blank face. Zero hour, Snowman thinks. Time to go.
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 That would be incredibly awesome if it was in the game. I hope it is. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
Gorth Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Interesting little collection. Fun to watch the NWN2 and the older Black Isle work too. I seem to remember that there was once talk about having horses in NWN2? “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Oner Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Way. Too. Cool. 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.
Zoma Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 I seem to remember that there was once talk about having horses in NWN2? Crossing fingers Onyx engine has the flexibility to support this future or similiar functions like a mecha/powersuit or vehicles.
