Majek Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) Goddammit, a sequel on PS4 as well as a remaster. They better get that released in English . Hell i'll take Asian version if it has English text like Demon's souls had.  And they way it looks is a good thing as it will always look good.  edit: Oh not a SRPG ... still want it.  edit2: damn hype slowly vanishing ... media vision ... ugh.

Oerwinde Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) I know there are a lot of Star Control fans out there (I only played 3), but anyway, Stardock announced they are making a new one. Â Edit: I guess thats actually old news, but they announced the founder program to allow fans input into the new one.

melkathi Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Some might remember me posting screenshots from a game called Woolfe: The Red Hood Diaries, staring red ridinghood. The game was a kickstarter I had backed. It released earlier this year but was not the commercial success the studio had needed and thus they went out of business. Last month we suddenly got a kickstarter update from some people calling themselves Rebellion who had bought the IP. And they wanted to let backers know that they would look into fulfilling outstanding rewards, because, well, because. So today I received my letter. It's nothing "big" - I had mostly digital rewards - but hey, I'm impressed that in this industry someone decides to fulfill the obligations someone else couldn't. 1 Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).

sorophx Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 the original Fallout isn't that good of a game, though. it's a great RPG, but its mechanics don't hold up today. I wish someone would make a game, that's like Fallout at heart, but with modern graphics and UI, better companions, and improved combat.

Humanoid Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I just want a developer to understand that "turn-based isometric" is not synonymous with "party-based". 3 L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorstUsernameEver Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I just want a developer to understand that "turn-based isometric" is not synonymous with "party-based". Well, both Underrail and Age of Decadence are single-character turn-based isometric (or pseudo-isometric, whatever) titles. But the problem is that controlling a single character offers a limited amount of tactical options in a turn-based, grid-based environment.

Undecaf Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 But the problem is that controlling a single character offers a limited amount of tactical options in a turn-based, grid-based environment.   There are certain limits for sure. But doesn't it ultimately depend on core combat design (pace, action options and fine grained they are, HP system, encounter design, what ever goes with the territory) whether those limitations as per lacking a party to control are really all that relevant?  I don't see it as a problem, it just calls for a tad different take than a party based design.

sorophx Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015  but its mechanics don't hold up today. Please explain.  what I mean is, in its original form, Fallout wouldn't work for me, if I saw it for the first time today. it has many little things that annoy the hell out of me. like the interaction menu, the way the inventory is set up, the way combat is paced, character movement in turn-based mode, camera perspective (I can't count the times I missed a door or a stairwell because of how they're placed behind a wall so it just blends into the wall) etc.  and then, of course, the companions... I played FO2 before trying the original game. by the time I got to playing Fallout I already knew to avoid taking companions with me, so I went through most of the game solo (taking Tycho with me to save Tandi and killing him when at the raiders' hideout, because he already had become annoying by then).  to be frank, I think Fallout Tactics has aged a lot better than Fallout has. that game I like replaying simply for its level design.  what I really like about Fallout is the SPECIAL and how combat is designed around it. in my opinion, Fallout's interpretation of TB combat is second only to Jagged Alliance 2. 1 Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland.

Certainly with location targeting, and the different punches and kicks you could do as unarmed (as poorly documented as they were). I do admit I likely prefer simpler combat systems to most people though, since to me it's not at all the part of the typical RPG that I enjoy.

No future Fallout title would need (or likely use) a 2D engine.  It would be 3D; (3D doesn't mean first person for those that assume it does). All of the graphical issues that Fallout had would be forgotten with the use of a 3D engine. Personally, I think that a Fallout title done using Obsidian's Pillars of Eternity framework could really shine. ___ I thought (and still think) of Fallout Tactics' Turn based combat as the best combat the IP has to offer ~so far. (Though I might have thought differently had Zenimax acquired 'Super Hot', and based the combat mechanics of FO4 on it.)
