May 20, 201510 yr You guys think that there is any chance of a sequel to Arcanum in the works? I realize that Jason Anderson works for Turtle Rock Studios and Leonard Boyarsky works for Blizzard Entertainment. However, considering that Obsidian Entertainment worked with Jason Anderson and inXile Entertainment on Wasteland 2, I am extremely hopeful to get a sequel to the game I played (and replayed) throughout my highschool years. What do you guys think?
May 20, 201510 yr I think Activision Blizzard owns the rights to the game (having bought Sierra Entertainment, who AFAIK owned the rights to Arcanum). I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
May 20, 201510 yr I think Activision Blizzard owns the rights to the game (having bought Sierra Entertainment, who AFAIK owned the rights to Arcanum). Yeah this is right, current trademark holder is Activision Publishing, Inc., which is subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, they renewed their claim to trademark in 2012.
May 21, 201510 yr I would pay serious money for a reboot rather than sequel. The original Arcanum did what it did well better than just about anything else out there, but it was also hideously broken in so many ways it's not even funny. A "spiritual successor" would suit me just fine. I have a project. It's a tabletop RPG. It's free. It's a work in progress. Find it here: www.brikoleur.com
May 21, 201510 yr Author I think Activision Blizzard owns the rights to the game (having bought Sierra Entertainment, who AFAIK owned the rights to Arcanum). Yeah this is right, current trademark holder is Activision Publishing, Inc., which is subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, they renewed their claim to trademark in 2012. Hopefully Blizzard doesn't make a sequal. The last thing I want to play is a arcanum sequel with cartoon art... I would pay serious money for a reboot rather than sequel. The original Arcanum did what it did well better than just about anything else out there, but it was also hideously broken in so many ways it's not even funny. A "spiritual successor" would suit me just fine. True, considering how popular steam punk is. It's surprising their wasn't a spiritual successor already... Their is no bug that the guys at nexus won't patch so I'm not to worried about buggyness
June 11, 201510 yr Like to see sequels of both Arcanum & VTM, but ......... I have struggle to understand a Universe that allows the destruction of an entire planet. Which will win this endless conflict - destruction or creation? The only thing I know for certain is never to place your faith entirely on one side. Play the middle if you want to survive. Everyone else is a fanatic. I am Gauldoth Half-Dead. Your savior.
June 12, 201510 yr If they will.make combat mechanics actually playable in turn base system i will support the idea.
June 12, 201510 yr we would rather french kiss an electrical outlet than play another arcanum. HA! Good Fun!

June 12, 201510 yr I like the basic idea of fantasy Victorian setting and magic vs tech, but IMO the thing would need a ground up overhaul. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
