Prometheus Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) See link for more information and concept art: A ‘Sci-Fi Skyrim’ Was In Development At Obsidian. It Had Time Travel. The concept sounds interesting. Edited July 11, 2013 by Prometheus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C2B Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 For a moment I thought this was the cancelled 2012 game, but reading the article, this is something we had no idea about. IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjshae Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 The title appears misleading since Skyrim refers to the engine used. The game concept seems plausible, and being a mostly cybernetic form probably helps mitigate the automatic weapon damage to some degree. I'm not so sure about the A.I. idea though, unless you can temporarily download those into robots. "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."

ManifestedISO Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 ^^ It says the PC would be 90% human ... I don't know what the proper ratio must be to qualify for cyborg-ness. The whole game concept sounds pretty solid, though, I like it. Well, except for the title. Who is Jason Schreier and how does he have access to design documents from inside Obsidian ... 1 All Stop.

Zoma Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Sounds like System Shock 2 with time travel. Not a bad thing if the concept is executed well. Or Obsidian could simply create a rogue like game with this concept through kickstarter in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarmo Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 To go on a tangent. I see 3 animated responses in this thread and I have no idea what the posters are trying to communicate. Best guesses: - get outta here, a laughable idea for a game - kill it dead - I'd rather play assasins creed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcador Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 #2 is suicide maybe ? Or he wants to kill who cancelled this ? I dunno, I don't get people these days.

I'm not as upset about this as some other games I've heard about. Aliens and Snow White, I'd take over this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leferd Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Interesting concept. But I generally don't like the Bethesda sourced engines very much either.

Aoyagi Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Awww, another Obsidian project put to ice? I demand to know who did that so I can have ... an encounter with them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C2B Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 According to Anthony Davis on the rpg codex, this was Jason Fader's baby. Now I'm 99% certain which project this was, though I didn't expect it to be this big/ambitious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostofAnakin Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Way too many interesting/intriguing ideas seem to get shelved in favor of mediocre/boring ones. When I read about the various projects Obsidian has had canceled that looked interesting, and when I see some of the games that are on the market, I weep for the gaming industry.

Malekith Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 It's for the best. Now they can use the idea in a kickstarter. It will be a better game without Bethesda's ****ty engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that scope and potential, it's hardly doable with mere few millions. Not for US devs anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would prefer it that way. But if what you wanted is "skyrim is space" then yes, that would need a publiser Edited July 12, 2013 by Malekith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malekith Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Unless you have around twenty millions in the bank that you want to invest in gaming, obsidian cannot do it without a publiser.

Wrath of Dagon Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 This is torture. First no KOTOR 3, and now all the great sounding Sci-fi games get cancelled.

C2B Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 It was never cancelled. Never being picked up is not the same as cancelled. Which also means this could get picked up without many legal problems. (Since Beth never really acquired it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
