C2B Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 (edited) How did Turtle Rock manage to free itself from Valve? And where does it say they work on an RPG? They just... went private again. Weird Story. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turtle_Rock_Studios I'm not quite sure where I got the RPG thing but they have been hiring an awful lot of people that have experience in them.

If they haven't showed it yesterday already, they won't show it today or tomorrow either. Unless it's some "behind closed doors" only invitation thing. Rain makes everything better.

Sannom Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Shouldn't there be some announcement for a new Obsidian game or am I horrible wrong now? Well, no. Feargus said he hoped he would be able to say more at E3, he never said he will show something at E3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgoth Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 They're probably just pimping DSIII. Or maybe they're hunting down new publisher contracts. Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bos_hybrid Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 (edited) So no news.... I wonder if Obs will have another different publisher. They've had Atari, Bethesda, LA, Sega and Square so far. Who's next? Ubi? EA partners? Take2? Acti? Valve would be nice..... Edited June 13, 2011 by Bos_hybrid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funcroc Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 (Ex-?)Obsidian UI artist Jason Sereno's LI profile updated Recently I was working on user-interface art and animation for "Dungeon Siege III" at Obsidian Entertainment, which was released by Square-Enix in June 2011. Currently I am living in Hangzhou, China and continuing to work for Obsidian Entertainment on contract on a currently-unannounced title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pidesco Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Working for Obsidian on contract is different from working at Obsidian.

funcroc Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 It seems why Obsidian is hiring UI artist(s) that Jason Sereno is living in China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowScythe Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Not sure how many people read the DS3 forums here (and why would they...) So I figure I'll post this quote from Eurogamer's interview with Nathaniel Chapman. Eurogamer: Rumour has it your next project is going to be a 2D RPG. Can you tell us anything about that? Nathaniel Chapman: We do have some job postings for something but I can't talk about it, except to say that people will be very excited when they find about it. Familiar IP? Is this the IP that Feargus said was an offer he couldn't refuse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorstUsernameEver Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 Icewind Dale 3? One can hope. Though it would clash with uncle Feargus' desire to dumb down character generation. By the way, they're ramping up the job offers. 2D VFX Animator: Obsidian Entertainment is looking for a talented self-motivated animator to create a range of 2D effects and animations for a highly stylized 2D world. Flash Artist Intern (again?) 2D Environment Intern: Obsidian Entertainment is looking for self-motivated artist to draw props and environment concepts for a highly stylized 2D world. 2D Environment Illustrator: Obsidian Entertainment is looking for talented, self-motivated environment artist to help create environment concepts and illustrations for a highly stylized 2D world. Yup, they're definitely working on a 2D game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Now I am really curious what that game will be. If people will be "very excited" about it, it must be something we know already. Probably something old that hasn't been touched since a while? "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."

ShadowScythe Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Do many 2D games get made now that aren't XBLA/Steam/PSN titles? Also, is highly stylized just a marketing buzzword or are we to expect a really cartoony art style? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
