Morgoth Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 (edited) Risen 2 cover Edit: Cover title says "Better graphics, bigger game world, more complex quests". Edited February 19, 2011 by Morgoth Rain makes everything better.
Morgoth Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Icewind Dale III incoming? Of particular note is my nearly 30-minute Q&A with Feargus. Would you like to know exactly what Project Virginia is? Do you want the very first details about Obsidian's secret "Defiance" project? Perhaps you're interested in learning about yet another project they've taken on that utilizes a license that they simply "could not turn down"? Or maybe you'd just like to know what the future holds for the Icewind Dale series? Rain makes everything better.
mkreku Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 I would not cry, since Icewind Dale is the only IE game I ever managed to complete before boredom killed it for me. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
HoonDing Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 I was hoping in Risen 2 we would start with the level 30 Nameless Hero in Titan armour, hunting the Titans to extinction on the mainland. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Volourn Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 As long as IWD3 is better than IWD2, I'm all for it. Too bad it would be using 4th Edition... DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Morgoth Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 If they go for cartoony Warcraft 3 style graphics I'm gonna murder Ferg with my own bare hands. It ain't a true IWD it it ain't have painted backgrounds. Rain makes everything better.
sorophx Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Icewind Dale III incoming? HOLY SHI~ I can't believe it... this couldn't get any better I was secretly hoping for a D&D game, but Icewind Dale?! It ain't a true IWD it it ain't have painted backgrounds. QFT Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland. And having been educated solely by mkreku in this respect I am convinced that Finland essentially IS the wh40k universe.
Tigranes Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Can you say, IWD III in Onyx? That said, I think it's much more probable the new project is just wheel of time. Let's Play: Icewind Dale Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Icewind Dale II Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Divinity II (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG1 (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG2 (In Progress)
C2B Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Can you say, IWD III in Onyx? That said, I think it's much more probable the new project is just wheel of time. Buck is specifically talking about the Icewind Dale franchise. And we know about the WOT game for a long time so it wouldn't make sense for him to make a secret out of it.
sorophx Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 he said nothing to confirm it was about IWD at all, maybe Project Virginia is WoT and IWD3 is in the future plans.

C2B Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 he said nothing to confirm it was about IWD at all, maybe Project Virginia is WoT and IWD3 is in the future plans. I misread. I thought he meant plans for a new IWD in general.
Monte Carlo Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 4th Edition D&D isn't really D&D, folks here are gonna hate it. Really, really hate it.
sorophx Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 oh? a couple of examples, please. the biggest flaws of 4th?

Nightshape Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Risen 2 cover Edit: Cover title says "Better graphics, bigger game world, more complex quests". And just a s***. Iz a pwomise. I came up with Crate 3.0 technology. Crate 4.0 - we shall just have to wait and see.Down and out on the Solomani RimNow the Spinward Marches don't look so GRIM!
Monte Carlo Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 oh? a couple of examples, please. the biggest flaws of 4th? It's a case of pop eating itself, CRPGs aped pen and paper now pen and paper apes video games. It uses a 'streamlined' (we all know what that means) system resembling one part MMORPG, one part part trading-card game. The iconic classes are FUBAR'd so they are now 'cool' for the attention-deficit crowd. It's horrible.
Labadal Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 First Risen 2 info Loved Risen, so I have high hopes for Risen 2.
Malcador Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Operation Flashpoint Red River Trailer Oh yeah. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
sorophx Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Veeeery skeptical about this one. true OFP is a military simulator. I'm afraid Codemasters is trying to copy the latest CoD games.

Malcador Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 They are, actually. They tried with Dragon Rising, but futzed it up (must be Lenton's fault). Funny though, looking through the database for DR, I'm seeing all kinds of weapons and vehicles and troop types that weren't in the game - stuff like Humvees with TOWs, mortars and mortar spotters, etc. Why has elegance found so little following?

Majek Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 What's the last good Codemasters game anyway? I don't remember one in the last decade ... 1.13 killed off Ja2.
Guest Slinky Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 What's the last good Codemasters game anyway? I don't remember one in the last decade ... Only good purely Codemasters game I have played is Colin McRae Rally 2.. Severance is also great, but codemasters only published it.
Big Bottom Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 I am well up for another stint in IWD! The best flash game ever!
Nightshape Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Veeeery skeptical about this one. true OFP is a military simulator. I'm afraid Codemasters is trying to copy the latest CoD games. CoD but with more realism. Basically. I came up with Crate 3.0 technology. Crate 4.0 - we shall just have to wait and see.Down and out on the Solomani RimNow the Spinward Marches don't look so GRIM!
