C2B Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) At least the chances are high. http://www.gamerevolution.com/manifesto/an...s-urquhart-4381 We're also working on an original IP XBLA game. so that hopefully will be out first quarter next year. and its an action-rpg.

WorstUsernameEver Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 I hope they release it on Steam/PSN too. Seems stupid to do otherwise.
Flouride Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 I hope they release it on Steam/PSN too. Seems stupid to do otherwise. If it's done on Onyx I'm quite sure it will be out on PSN/Steam as well. Hate the living, love the dead.
C2B Posted February 25, 2011 Author Posted February 25, 2011 What could this be by the way? FU: No, I'll get killed, but it's a licensed product but it's a licensed product that when people hear about it they're going to be "well you had to do that. there's no option, if I was a developer and I was offered that I would just do it." Which IP would do that?
Bendu Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Icewind Dale 3? KOTOR 3? An Elder Scrolls game?
Starwars Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 It'll suck if it's only on Xbox live, SUCK I TELL YOU! Though it's nice that they're getting into smaller products like that as well, I really hope we'll see PC support continue. Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0
C2B Posted February 25, 2011 Author Posted February 25, 2011 Icewind Dale 3? KOTOR 3? An Elder Scrolls game? It can't be Icewind Dale since Buck mentioned something about the future of the Franchise. (Also its not really a franchise every developer would take on if he could). It doesn't seem like KOTOR too since they have done that before and he speaks of it as if it was something new. Elder scrolls is a possiblity. He mentions a license specifically. So maybe something outside of gaming. Another LOTR game?
PoetAndMadman Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Icewind Dale 3? KOTOR 3? An Elder Scrolls game? Or maybe Baldur's Gate 3? He seems very excited, but it can be anything. I don't know how nerdy Feargus is, but it may also very well be a Firefly or Star Trek RPG.
Flouride Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 How about a game set in Westeros? Cyanide has the license, but they aren't really well known as developers and they got their hands full with the RTS. Maybe they gave the crpg to Obsidian? Hate the living, love the dead.
Bos_hybrid Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 I don't know how nerdy Feargus is, but it may also very well be a Firefly or Star Trek RPG. The universe is not that awesome.
Tale Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 It's obviously Neverwinter Nights: Return of Mephasm. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

Which IP would do that? That's simple. He'd be killed for talking and can't refuse the offer. Here comes Godfather the RPG.
Morgoth Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 If Microsoft is the publisher, it sure is XBLA exclusive, otherwise it's prolly only time exclusive. But if it's just an action-RPG a'la Torchlight I might not be interested in it at all. Rain makes everything better.
Sannom Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) Question : I thought Project Virginia was that canned project that is often talked by former employees, who often express their disappointement about the cancellation, because the game would have been AWESOME! Annie Mitsoda comes to mind, I think she talks about it in an interview on the Codex. If Virginia isn't that game, what am I confusing it with? And sadly for the completist within me, if that game stays on the XBLA, it will probably be an Obsidian game I will never play. Edited February 25, 2011 by Sannom

Pop Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) PV (hurr hurr) could also be the original IP Josh and MCA are working on. The ultimate goal for a lot of studios making sequels is to finally jump off and work on their own original IP. Does Obsidian ever want to take that jump? "Absolutely," confirms Urquhart, before going on to say that Obsidian already has an original IP title underway. "We have a whole big cool world idea that we can hopefully talk about soon. That is a whole new world, a whole new thing. It's being put together by Josh Sawyer, who was the project director on Fallout New Vegas, and Chris Avellone is involved." Hard to say if that's the "Sauron won" fantasy setting, but it could certainly be. They also seem to think that the "Can't pass up" IP is the Wheel of Time game we already knew about. Ferg's been talking to Atari about IWD3 but seems to indicate it's not in the cards. He also wants to make an Ultima game. Edited February 25, 2011 by Pop Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
Tale Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Where can I find out more about this "Sauron won" idea? "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

Do they have something against Obsidian? It seems awfully negative written. @Tale: That was the "Defiance" Project that they pitched to Square Enix. Edited February 25, 2011 by C2B

Not sure I like those ideas. Ultima has run it's course and Storm of Zehir did not make for an promising demonstration of what Icewind Dale 3 could look like. Feargus Urquhart Interview But it's nice to see that he realizes how over ambitious Alpha Protocol was. Going first time from stat based to action and trying to meld three different gameplay styles in an unfamiliar engine was never going to end well. Edited February 25, 2011 by pmp10

Not sure I like those ideas. Ultima has run it's course and Storm of Zehir did not make for an promising demonstration of what Icewind Dale 3 could look like. That was more the fault of the NWN2 engine than the game though. Edit: Also about AP. AP's fault was that it was too hybrid traditional with its combat actually. It was basically the same thing that was used in Bloodlines/Deus Ex. Combine that with poor balancing and you got what you got. I didn't found much fault regarding the ambiouts things in the game actually. The choice system worked well. Technically (Stability) I was actually impressed. It wasn't much worse than other UE3 titles. And given that its Obs and an RPG (Squares xbox version of Last Remnant was much worse) even more. Edited February 25, 2011 by C2B
mkreku Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Ultima has not run its course!!1! Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
pmp10 Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Well the ascension in 9 seemed pretty final to me.
PoetAndMadman Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Could it be that this secret project based on super license is in fact Ultima 10? I somehow doubt it's WoT, because it was already sort of announced, and Feargus already was excited about it. Sawyer's & Avellone's project indeed seems to be XBLA game.
C2B Posted February 26, 2011 Author Posted February 26, 2011 Sawyer's & Avellone's project indeed seems to be XBLA game. "Whole big new world" doesn't really make sense for a action rpg XBLA title.
