Morgoth Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 No PC love as usual when a new console generation launches... 2 Rain makes everything better.
C2B Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 from Robert Nestler's resume, which was recently updated April 2012 - currently | Art Director | Obsidian Entertainment, Irvine, CAUnannounced Next-Gen Console title Tools: 3dsMax, Maya, Photoshop, Flash, Illustrator, Z-Brush, Painter, Perforce, Vegas. So, according to recent events and other linkedin profiles: Can we assume this is still in Pre-Production or at least very early in the development cycle?
WorstUsernameEver Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 I'm just glad that they signed a project. Not sure what Morgoth means, the info is fairly scarce, the only thing I get from that is that the game they're working on is targeting the next generations of consoles.
Flouride Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 I don't think it automatically means they've signed a project. Might just be a project they are going to pitch for publishers. Or did I miss something? Hate the living, love the dead.

Or did I miss something? Not for sure, but the wording makes it sound like that to me, I see no reason why he should mention that they're working on a next-gen title otherwise.

Or did I miss something? Considering the keywords next-gen, unannounced and console this sounds more than a pitch/too specific for a pitch. Ofc, no way of knowing. Following months will bring clarity. Edited May 30, 2012 by C2B
C2B Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) From George Ziets Formspring Was the unannounced title already worked on when you left Obsidian or did they sign after? If you Edited May 30, 2012 by C2B
Nepenthe Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 The way you guys run discourse analysis on linkedin profiles would make any feminist proud. 1 You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
Rostere Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Here's hoping for a Prometheus game! "Well, overkill is my middle name. And my last name. And all of my other names as well!"
Malcador Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 So, we dodge falling progenitor spaceships ? 1 Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
Bos_hybrid Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 So this mean no PC. right? Otherwise it would of said multi-platform next-gen game.
Rostere Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 So, we dodge falling progenitor spaceships ? Well. We all know that games based directly on movies suck. Seeing the interest of the big money in backing the Prometheus franchise I consider it very likely we will see a game based on that IP not too soon. I think we can rule out action FPS or strategy game. Personally, I would love to see a new FPRPG/Adventure game with stealth and horror elements, combining aspects of Thief, Penumbra, Deus Ex and especially System Shock. That would be a perfect prototype for a Prometheus game. I think FP is absolutely neccesary for the "horror" aspect. Obsidian's cancelled Alien RPG might speak in their favour here - although if I recall correctly that was more inspired by "Aliens" :/ "Well, overkill is my middle name. And my last name. And all of my other names as well!"
Sannom Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 So this mean no PC. right? Otherwise it would of said multi-platform next-gen game. It's not an official announcement or anything, so I don't think we can jump the gun on that right now.
Bos_hybrid Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 It's not an official announcement or anything, so I don't think we can jump the gun on that right now. Hope so, at this stage I have no interest in a next-gen console.
C2B Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 Wonder if this has anything to do with Chris's interview answer about integrating Music with Gameplay.

WorstUsernameEver Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 Rock Band RPG. That's p. close to one of Avellone's dream ideas.
Pop Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 OT - Obsidian were approached for an Ultima game 5-6 years ago. Apparently that was common knowledge? I had no idea. But in any case, probably not this thing. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!

But in any case, probably not this thing. I think Feargus mentioned it. Could be totally wrong. I'm sure though that this was mentioned sometime last year.
Zoraptor Posted June 16, 2012 Posted June 16, 2012 IIRC it was a generic "we'd love to do an Ultima" comment. The original source for the rumour was Desslock (presumably his is the linked qt3 post in the article).
