Gfted1 Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Why wouldnt they rehire the Engine, Tools, Gameplay, Network and Audio programmers they just laid off? "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Labadal Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Why wouldnt they rehire the Engine, Tools, Gameplay, Network and Audio programmers they just laid off? Maybe they do rehire, but the people who had these positions have found a new workplace?
Rostere Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Actually, it would be pretty cool to work at Obsidian. "Well, overkill is my middle name. And my last name. And all of my other names as well!"
WorstUsernameEver Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Why wouldnt they rehire the Engine, Tools, Gameplay, Network and Audio programmers they just laid off? Well, it's been months since then, some of them have found other positions (some of them funcroc has kept track of...), others have founded their own indie studios (Jason Fader and a couple of others have at least), etc. That said, yeah, I would find it weird if they didn't try to rehire the free ones, but I'm sure they have/they are.

C2B Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 (edited) Probably Rich Taylor's Project? Edited October 12, 2012 by C2B
Gorth Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 Unannounced, huh? Can't exactly be Stick of Truth or Eternity then... “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

WorstUsernameEver Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 Could be a pitch they're working on to present to some publisher after they're done with South Park. They need to line up another project (if they haven't already) unless they want to lay off quite a lot of people.
Flouride Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 Most likely the Rich Taylor project that I would imagine is a pitch to publishers about a game they would like to work after South Park finishes/starts to ramp down. Hate the living, love the dead.
DocDoomII Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Wouldn't dislike an Alpha Protocol 2. It was a bit cluncky, but I liked the story very much. Do you think Pillars of Eternity doesn't have enough Portraits? Submit your vote in this Poll!
C2B Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Wouldn't dislike an Alpha Protocol 2. It was a bit cluncky, but I liked the story very much. Chances are very slim it's AP2.
Flouride Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 More like 0% chance. Hate the living, love the dead.
Zoraptor Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 "Chances are slim and none, and slim just left town."
DocDoomII Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 I knew that already. Fergus said (in the streaming of the last night of PE's kickstarter) that he would love to work at the sequel, but it was not on the list ATM.

funcroc Posted November 17, 2012 Author Posted November 17, 2012 (edited) https://twitter.com/...152335534620672 I work on another project at Obsidian-can't disclose the name yet, but I just bought some blueprints from http://www.blueprints.com OT: Obsidian's CTG leader Vassilios Mavros leaving the company Edited November 17, 2012 by funcroc
C2B Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 That may be the next-gen title he was originally brought on to in his resumee. Maybe it got picked up?
Labadal Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 I sure hope so. With SP: SoT almost done and the smaller development scope (~20 man team) of PE, they need another project.
SirPetrakus Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Obviously, it's going to be a Sci-Fi RPG exclusive for the XBOX720, published by Microsoft to replace ME for going multiplatform. A man can dream ...

A man can dream ... I thought you were being sarcastic but then you said "a man can dream..." so now I have to ask, why would you want them to make an Xbox exclusive title?

A man can dream ... I thought you were being sarcastic but then you said "a man can dream..." so now I have to ask, why would you want them to make an Xbox exclusive title? Because: A: That's the cancelled game from march. Resulting in the big layoffs. B: Working on an exclusive is really valuable for a dev and in many cases can be a breakout title. See above. Granted that's not really interesting (short-term) for the average Obsidian player. Edited November 23, 2012 by C2B
HoonDing Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Could this be Dungeon Siege 4? The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
exodiark Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Rock Band RPG. OH MAAAAN! This! I can already see the game in my head.... >A hater is creating hate topic at your blog, pointing that your music is ripping off from a certain obscure 1988 band. Fortunately it's midnight, there are no replies yet. >What will you do? 1. Ignore, because it's pure coincidence (The rumor spread uncontrollably at 3chan, -100 fame, Companion Joe left the band.) 2. Deny and try to explain. (Some fans think it's a damage control, but thankfully your other tunes are quite original, so people believe your explanation and glad you're honest with them. -10 fame) 3. Dismiss the troll with alternative website account (Your efforts does little in front of the sheer amount of haters, but at least you successfully planted the idea of coincidence, -50 fame.) 4. [Courage 40] Delete the thread. (For some odd reasons or dumb luck, there are no retaliations from the TC. Maybe he/she died in an accident or heart attack somewhere, -0 fame.)
