Yeah, I know it's the thing to do now ask for a revival of a series instead of being creative and making something completely new but I think, Darksun is different enough to warrant a remake. I remember posting this on the bioware forum and one of the devs loved the game but i doubt they will dabble with it. I also think Darksun was the first PC rpg where you could pretty much kill anyone which was good and bad - bad because you could kill quest givers and be screwed forever.

 

Darksun playthrough

 

 

I would be so pump if someone revived this one.

never played the original, spent some time with Darksun 2, loved the combat

Yeah, I get bashed for wanting Badlur's Gate: Dark Alliance back.

Darksun is interesting and something creative could be done with it - it would suit a 'revival' of sorts, though more for the setting than the games themselves. If only the D&D rights weren't so problematic at the moment.

and something interesting couldn't happen with Dark Alliance? This would cost a whole lot more money for Atari than BGDA3 would.

I was talking about Dark Sun - there are different kinds of issues at work with DA, which we've discussed in the other thread.

 

Ironically, the Dark Sun games themselves still remain on my To Play list...

Spelljammer or bust!

you get bashed for singing praise to Herve Caen's Interplay

Spelljammer or bust!

 

That would be fantastic too!

 

I also would dig a Shadowrun game, as I imagine the OP would agree with that.

Who owns the rights to this? Atari?

Indeed it is Atari - I know Darksun will have it's rise again but I just hope it goes into the right developers because it can be an astounding RPG with tons of depth and a bit of the open world vibe to it.

 

 

and yesssssssssss I would love a shadowrun game but I didn't think anyone remember the SNES/SEGA version back int he day..now everyone know it for that FPS game..sighs

 

It's actually the only reason why I got an XBOX back in the day because i heard rumors of a Shadowrun RPG that would be on it.

I've never played the Dark Sun games but the setting seems interesting.

 

I loved the old Shadowrun games and I still play them on my phone from time to time.

The Dark Sun CRPGs were awesome, as was the Pen and Paper setting. Unfortunately, any new Dark Sun game would probably have to use 4E rules...

The game was made by Kevin Osburn. All Herve did was approve of the idea. Herve was in favor of crappy Fallout games that screwed over Interplay, not Dark Alliance.

 

Dark Sun in my opinion would be a good campaign to explore in a new original game. I find the original's story too overused now.

Dark Sun was a brutal campaign world originally.

 

Dunno how it is with 4e but I can't imagine that Atari wouldn't want to revisit the setting in a video game at some point before 5e gets here.

I'd love to see not only The Darksun along with Spelljammer and Shadowrun. I would like to see Greyhawk and Dragonlance done as well.

 

I miss my D&D days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Never player the game but did read a few novels based on it, definitely loved that universe.

Spelljammer or bust!

+1

Maybe we should make a poll of this?

Boy! This died quick.

Enough with the pleasantries. I must have a Shadowrun game, like the good old 16-bit RPGs. Not that abysmal turd that was the 360 multiplayer only shooter. Obs, get to it. In exchange, I will provide you guys with all the coffee you can drink. For life! I'll sell a kidney if I have to.

Might be interesting if D&D rights weren't such a pain to get a hold of.
