LadyCrimson Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 How the hell do you make a game out of it though. It sounds as doomed to fail as Driving Miss Daisy for Wii @Jackalmonkey - I'm definitely hoping it'll be lucrative for the team, that's for sure! ... if they end up having a demo, I'll even try it. Still doubt it'll be my personal "thing", even if it wins 100 GoTY awards, but I don't begrudge them going for a popular culture IP. “Things are as they are.

Volourn Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 "Why is that a "shame"? Obsidian maybe doesn't really want to work on these huge huge blockbuster franchises, or at least not all the time. At least they keep their portfolio diverse, unlike Bioware, which has just deteriorated into a ME/DA factory. " This is cute. BIO's 'portfolio' ios a lot more varied than Obsidian's. It's not even close. Have you forgotten MDK2? SS? S:RPG? That new 'war' game that's being made using BIO's name? Meanwhile, Obsidian - sans one game - has basically spammed sequels to others' hits or use IPs created by others. At least DA and ME were BIO creations. Come yalk to me Obsidiann datres to make a TB game (maybe SP will be it *crosses fingers*). SP is a 'blockbuster' IP. Anyone who claims otherwise is foolish. Now, will SP translate successfully into a game (RPG or otherwise) is a whole'nother story that we'll have to wait and find out about. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

That new 'war' game that's being made using BIO's name? Bio exists longer than Obsidian. Let's see what Bio has released since 2004: Jade Empire, ME, ME2, DA, DA2, some ME/DA social crap. That new war game is likely a C&C reboot. It's like they don't even try to diversify their portfolio anymore. Bio has become too fixated on their core IPs. Not that I blame them on it, it's just nice to see that Obsidian chooses to have a broader latitude of franchises to work with. SP is a 'blockbuster' IP. It's maybe popular among some age groups and whatnot, but that hardly makes it blockbuster a'la Star Wars or Avatar. I doubt THQ would grand Obsidian a $100 million budget for something that could easily get ignored by the masses. Rain makes everything better.

They're alot more diversief than Obsidian surely is. And,s top whioning about how much longer bIO has been around. That's a poor excuse and is totally irrelevant. Bottom line is BIO's portofolio is a lot more diverse than Obsidian's is both post and pre 2004. Obsidian doesn't have a broader anything. Then again, you show your ignorance and bias when you conviently forget S:RPG. Not to mention, BIO has 3 self created IPs in JE, DA, and ME since 2004 while Obsidian has one. ONE. *ONE* Now, who is more diverse? LMAO DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgoth Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) Don't care about how many original IP they make. 3 original IPs from BioWare that are so alike and creatively bancrupt that it hardly counts.

Slowtrain Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Nice to see obsidian trying to corner the pottymouth market. Waiting for a deer hunting game next, crossbows and black powder rifles. Or maybe Big Bass Fishing Adventure. Well, as long as it makes them money, I guess. Everybody needs to stay in business. 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.

entrerix Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I just hope they make a fantastic game that blows away everyone and ends up being game of the year and secures enough money to fund half a dozen more obsidian projects. i mean, i can't imagine how a south park rpg could really work. but if this ends up being better than baldurs gate 2, i think most people would be pretty happy, so lets all just be supportive. /hilarious naivete Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game.

sorophx Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) I'm actually looking forward to it. 2D stylized RPG, c'mon. how many of these from major studios do we get? South Park, Simpsons, whatever. you must've forgotten all those licensed NES games, based on god knows what, they were still good. (Duck Tales anyone? Chip & Dale?) oh and DARKWING DUCK! edit: actually, is this the 2D game we've been hearing about?

Gorgon Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Yes, but that doesn't mean anyone would want South Park the game. I'm sure there is a Simpsons game out there somewhere, has anyone ever played that ? Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.

Hassat Hunter Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 There are several South Park games already. All for consoles, so I haven't played them though. Also, if SP is a "small IP" (15 seasons is small now, what the hell) WHAT would consitute a big IP? I hear Avatar, but damn, that's just 1(!) movie. With a crap game. Hardly a big IP. Star Wars sure. But you remember how much LA butchered KOTOR2 right? So, give me a so called bigger IP... ^ I agree that that is such a stupid idiotic pathetic garbage hateful retarded scumbag evil satanic nazi like term ever created. At least top 5.
