Slowtrain Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 , but it's just another video fantasy game without anything in particular to recommend it unless you happen to be a fan of the WoT stuff. So it's like The Witcher or Drakensang? Cheers for the heads up. Neither of which had anything to recommend except for fans of the story them until they were released. Thanks for playing. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.
RPGmasterBoo Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 You joking right? Drakensang was so bland and boring I couldn't even finish the demo. Oh and for a 3D game, Dragon Age has very beautiful areas. And yes, while I do like to criticize DA and Bioware, it's nonetheless the best fantasy RPG on the market. Which says all you need to know about the market. Imperium Thought for the Day: Even a man who has nothing can still offer his life
Mamoulian War Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 (edited) When is the int version coming out? No idea, but I wouldn't count on it to be internationally released in the coming 6 months. 'Twas the same story with Divinity 2, Venetica & the first Drakensang. That's why I always purchase the German version first anyway. According to Wikipedia, the int version was out February 24, 2009... but take it with a grain of salt... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drakensang EDIT: unless i am totaly out of touch with the PC gaming nowadays and there is already 2nd Drakensang game released in german speaking teritories...

Bos_hybrid Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 Neither of which had anything to recommend except for fans of the story them until they were released. Thanks for playing. Which could also be this WoT game. Dismissing this game because it has a new dev involved is premature.
Purkake Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 I'm sorry, but I'll take Drakensang's visuals over Dragon Age's any day(and that without the stupid gore aspect).

Which could also be this WoT game. Dismissing this game because it has a new dev involved is premature. I think you misinterpreted something I said somewhere. I never dismissed the game (I didn't not dismiss it either). I was commenting on the fact that Obs involvement doesn't appear to add any cred based on both the info in the initial press release and subsequent update by Larry Moondragon.

Morgoth Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 EDIT: unless i am totaly out of touch with the PC gaming nowadays and there is already 2nd Drakensang game released in german speaking teritories... Yes, and it gets quite praised plus it's better than DS1. Still not my cup of tea. Rain makes everything better.
funcroc Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 (edited) Interview with Red Eagle Entertainment about the video game coming soon? "Tune in next time, where we discuss The Wheel of Time video games." Edited May 18, 2010 by funcroc
WorstUsernameEver Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 Notice that they talk about 'video games', and considering Red Eagle it's not that big, they've probably made a similar deal with another developer, most probably in another genre entirely (I mean, we don't know what's the genre of the game Obsidian is working for, but considering their area of expertise it's most probably an RPG). Considering all the work on the design and supervision alone on Red Eagle's part, I guess Obsidian is doing more than grunt work.. Then again, I've never been very good with this stuff.
funcroc Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 According to official PR, Obsidian Entertainment was selected "to work closely with Red Eagle Games
Morgoth Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 We do know that Obsidian is working on a fantasy RPG with the Onyx engine. We also know that George Ziets is the lead writer on it. Is that maybe WoT, or a seperate project? Rain makes everything better.
funcroc Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 Hollywood screenwriter Chris Morgan is working as story director on the Wheel of Time games for Red Eagle.
Purkake Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 (edited) Morgan’s screenwriting credits include Cellular, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Wanted and The Fast and the Furious That doesn't exactly inspire confidence. Where are they getting all the money for Hollywood screenwriters anyway? Edited May 18, 2010 by Pidesco
Oner Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 Hahahahaha 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.
Hurlshort Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 The original Fast and the Furious was actually fairly awesome. You know, in a Point Break way.
WorstUsernameEver Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 The original Fast and Furious was decent at best and Tokyo Drift... meh, I basically had time to kill when I saw it and even then I felt cheated.. I wanted a mecha to emerge from behind the mountains and kill them all.
Purkake Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 The original Fast and the Furious was actually fairly awesome. You know, in a Point Break way. Sure, but not from a writing standpoint. He'll be writing the story, based on a 12-book series, not some awesome action sequence.
Morgoth Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 Writing director doesn't really say much. Maybe he's just oversseing the writer team from Obsidian? Rain makes everything better.
WorstUsernameEver Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 IF there is a writer team at Obsidian for this game. Consider that, going by what Pop said us, Avellone himself called this a 'half project' for Obsidian... they don't even consider this their own game.
Morgoth Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 Avellone himself called this a 'half project' for Obsidian... they don't even consider this their own game. What a waste of time and talent then. Rain makes everything better.
HoonDing Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 Will the game be actually based on the books, or just use the setting? The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Pop Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 (edited) The implication is that it would be a Wheel of Time game in the same sense that KOTOR was a Star Wars game. It's within the setting and using familiar elements, but more or less unrestricted in terms of things they're able to do. IF there is a writer team at Obsidian for this game. Consider that, going by what Pop said us, Avellone himself called this a 'half project' for Obsidian... they don't even consider this their own game. I took that to mean it was a half-project in terms of manpower devoted to it. And MCA was not specific as to what project was the half in "two and a half". Edited May 18, 2010 by Pop Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
WorstUsernameEver Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 Still, considering that Red Eagle sounds very protective of their IP (and I can understand that) and considering that I really doubt the other unannounced project is a half-project even only manpower-wise, it seems a logical conclusion. Mind you, Obsidian not doing any writing on it it's just extreme speculation on my part, and even then, they'll probably end up doing the 'small writing', meaning, they won't write, story, background and important characters but they'll still end up writing quest designs, dialogue, etc..
Nepenthe Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 The original Fast and the Furious was actually fairly awesome. You know, in a Point Break way. Happily Morgan didn't write it (he wrote 3 and 4). You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
HoonDing Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 Will this game even be a RPG? The 1999 WOT game was a great action game, almost a shooter. Maybe this game will be its sequel? The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
