January 28, 201214 yr Also, to give you an overview about Obsidians current projects. First off: Obsidian codenames their projects after the order the states joined the Union. Secondly as of Dungeon Siege III/New Vegas there were 9 games they started. And last: DLC's don't count. (Expansions do) Virgina (10th): We know next to nothing about it. New York (11th): South Park North Carolina (12th): Sawyer's project Thats what we know so far regarding Obsidians current game projects. We haven't heard ANYTHING about the WOT project since it was announced. Ofc still take it as speculation. Could turn out completly different. For example its entirly possible that the XBLA RPG turns out to be Sawyers project. Edited January 28, 201214 yr by C2B
January 29, 201214 yr Twillight has kinda made vampires and warewolfs lame by association for the foreseeable future, unless the new Underworld film is awesome. If we are just fantasising, then yes, a sequel to VtM would be all kinds of awesome. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
February 2, 201213 yr So many rumors, so little facts... Maybe we'll see something in one of the gaming conventions.
February 2, 201213 yr So many rumors, so little facts... The Game is unannounced. Speculation is the only thing we have.
February 9, 201213 yr Sawyer's formspring will the obsidian engine be used on the studios game more often? dungeon siege ran without issues and it was awesome. It's being used on South Park right now (different renderer, obviously) and will hopefully be used on future projects. hmmm....

February 9, 201213 yr EDIT: OT: Obsidian's CTG programmer Michael Bosley's blog post Hehe... The story of O ... For those who don't know 'O', it's a notation for the relative complexity of an algorithm. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

February 10, 201213 yr Ex-Obsidian artist David Lieu's resume (recently updated) Experience----------------- 04/2007 - 01/2012 Obsidian Entertainment Intermediate Level Environment Artist unannounced project Fallout: New Vegas DLCs 1-4 Fallout: New Vegas Alpha Protocol
February 10, 201213 yr If that was updated 01/2012, that would have been after the Southpark announcement? Very nice man... announcing that there is something unannounced. Maybe he takes bribes? “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
February 11, 201213 yr Furthermore, we can conclude that the Wheel of Time project doesn't seem to have started "full development" as of december? (Don't know exactly anymore) 2011. We can conclude this because of: -Obsidian's code names: F:NV was Obsidian's 9th started game, Virginia (which was a cancelled or put on hold XBLA game) was 10th, New York is 11th (which is the SP RPG) and North Carolina (Sawyers) is 12. -Meaning they are working on 2 projects at the moment. According to a tweet by Chris Avellone in early december? 2011 they are working on two projects (SP and NC). Not on three. Of course, it could suddenly turn out that Virginia has/had the WOT license. Or something else (like the WOT project not having an Obs project but that would not explain the 2 projects comment). It's speculation here anyway based on the few pieces of information we get. Been wrong before. Wait, Obsidian is working on a Wheel of Time game? That will be awesome. Edited February 11, 201213 yr by TheTuninator
February 11, 201213 yr Don't get your hopes up about the Wheel of Time game. It might never happen. Hate the living, love the dead.

February 11, 201213 yr The Wheel never weaves while that Mandragon fellow holds the license. Hate the living, love the dead.
February 13, 201213 yr Obsidian is hiring a lead artist for their secret project The Lead Artist will define the visual target of the art in Obsidian Entertainment's Top Secret Project, as well as help mentor the other Artists and Junior Artist. Responsibilities - The Lead Artist is responsible for developing and driving an original and innovative art style for the game.
February 13, 201213 yr "original and innovative artstyle" I hope this doesn't translate into "oh look another anime art style with spikey armor and glowing eyes". Rain makes everything better.
February 14, 201213 yr "original and innovative artstyle" I hope this doesn't translate into "oh look another anime art style with spikey armor and glowing eyes". Wouldn't that be the exact opposite of original and innovative? “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Responsibilities - The Lead Artist is responsible for developing and driving an original and innovative art style for the game. Wouldn't the fact they're still looking for a lead artist for the game suggest the secret project is pretty much in its infancy stage? Not being in the 'Biz, I wouldn't know. But I'd have thought that if the project was already well into development, they'd already be past the stage they need to develop an art style for it.

February 18, 201213 yr Programs: Unreal Engine 3, 3ds Max, Maya, and Photoshop. Sawyer's IP is another Unreal 3 game?

February 18, 201213 yr Was it Sawyers project that was linked to the visits with Eidos Montreal and Square Enix, or wast it something else? Or am I completely misrecalling here? I can't help but think that - looking at how similiar AP and DX:HR are - Sawyer is doing something related to Deus Ex or something similiar (didn't he also tweet something about stealth gameplay at some point?) - even after reading that he and MCA were working on a completely new "world".

But I'd have thought that if the project was already well into development, they'd already be past the stage they need to develop an art style for it. They could be already looking for a Lead artist for whatever they are planning on doing next after South Park. After all the hiring process does take some time. Though, I guess that's not very likely Hate the living, love the dead.

Sawyer visited Eidos Montreal and was studying stealth mechanics/gameplay at one point. That's pretty much all we know, but then again I'm fairly sure Sawyer visited other publishers as well. So that Eidos Montreal visit might not mean anything. Hate the living, love the dead.

February 18, 201213 yr I predict that some people will be disappointed by the announcements, Gromnir will chime in and then disappear, some people will defend it, other will be wait and see, and when the game gets released it will have its fair share of stalwart defenders. ... I have no idea what it will be, though
