Trying again for World of Darkness

[TheHarlequin]

With CCP biting the bullet on the Vampire MMO I feel Obsidian should try again for the World of Darkness license to make a Bloodlines 2 type CRPG. With CCP now in a evaluation stage of what to do next with the property this may be a great time to apprach the topic with them. I know from previous comments from Feargus they were just inches away from getting the lic from White Wolf before they were bought out by CCP. Approching CCP now while the iron is hot may be a golden oppurtunity for a very popular franchise that most gamers know even if they don't realize it.

 

My 2 coppers.

I'd love to see Obsidian make a Bloodlines style RPG. I won't hold my breath, though.

Yeah, It would be fantastic if Obsidian will develop a Vampire : The Masquerade (or the Requiem) cRPG.

Am I the only one that finds it silly that CCP would buy White Wolf*, stop White Wolf from working on anymore P&P games** so that they could concentrate on the World of Darkness MMORPG and then can the same? You'd think, even if it wasn't working they'd scrap it and do it again otherwise...what was the point?

 

Sucks to be White Wolf, I guess. If anything actually exists as more than "in name only" White Wolf.

 

*Technically, I think it was called a merger at the time, but when two companies merge and the other stops producing anything and becomes, relatively, non-existent...well it sure seems like CCP bought themselves White Wolf (see also Turner Networks and Warner Brothers)

 

**I think all of the new RPG material is done under license to Onyx Path, which, IIRC was established by a former White Wolf employee.

I agree.

Also its sad for the team members in Atlanta who lost their jobs; not sure if any of them were really employees of the old pre-CCP White Wolf or not (which would be sadder) but still its sad. Hope they find work soon.
