January 25, 20179 yr It's not a Vampire game. I understand if you can't get too deep into details, but how do you know that with any kind of certainty? Did I miss some news, an interview, or what have you about the project?

I do like the idea of an Obsidian Urban Fantasy game, though. Dresden Files meets Obsidian sounds cool.
January 25, 20179 yr I still think it's going to be more in the steam punk/post apocalyptic realm. So far, no indication of a WoD game whatsoever, but I'd take some urban fantasy, definitely, in first person if I could choose. But really, I just want a Bloodlines sequel instead of settling for something more generic.
January 25, 20179 yr I can't say it enough... I would prefer steampunk. However, Urban Fantasy is awesome.
January 25, 20179 yr It's fun to keep repeating preferences, but I think it speaks for itself that we'd both gladly play each other's preferred genre. Medieval fantasy is just so overwhelmingly represented that I'd take steam punk for breakfast at this point.
January 25, 20179 yr A sequel of Arcanum or VTM:B would be fine to me 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.
January 25, 20179 yr It's fun to keep repeating preferences, but I think it speaks for itself that we'd both gladly play each other's preferred genre. Medieval fantasy is just so overwhelmingly represented that I'd take steam punk for breakfast at this point. Agreed. I'll play run of the mill fantasy if that is what they make, but I really want something different. Steampunk, Urban Fantasy, Wild West, Espionage, Diesel Punk, Cyberpunk (although with Cyberpunk 2070 coming, Shadowrun,and a few others... it is getting saturated a bit too), and even Sci-fi would be preferable.
January 25, 20179 yr I don't think Obs'd try to crowdfund a 3rd action console RPG so I wonder who the publisher is? If it is Paradox why wouldn't it be Vampire? Or its Paradox but another WW IP or original IP? Any guesses? Bethesda? SEGA!!!? Activision-Blizzard? Since Feargus said they would add to their audience with big single player RPG and they have Boyarskonektion with them. EA? ATARI? My.com? Ubisoft? Squenix? Microsoft? lol
January 25, 20179 yr I think Bethesda and/or Activision-Blizzard make the most sense. Bethesda has FO and it would make sense to have another FO made when they switch gears to ES6, building a new Engine, or another creating another IP. Best to keep your IP's from languishing if you can help it. Activision-Blizzard owns Arcanum and Boyarsky probably knows people. So, this would make things interesting. Sega is possible, but less likely. They have worked with each other before. AP and Alien RPG. EA? If they want an "RPG" made they will go with Bioware. Atari? Um... are they not bankrupt yet? My.com? lol Ubisoft? I really doubt it. Squenix? Possible, but unlikely. MS? Doubtful, but wasn't Obsidian suppose to make an Xbox 360 or One launch title and it fell through? So possible.

Microsoft? lol That Brian Heins interview kinda hinted that it's a White Wolf IP, just not Vampires and I bet it's not Werewolves either since Cyanide is making that game. I guess we will be guessing for a year or so before they will actually be able to say anything about the game.. Hate the living, love the dead.
January 25, 20179 yr I doubt we'll get to see a Vamprie game by Obsidian any time soon. Those games seem to be given to cyanide these days. So, I hope for some urban fantasy stuff, too, but not from this franchise.
January 27, 20179 yr Maybe it is Beta Protocol? It could be own franchise for OE (which makes so many things easier). Deus Ex, Splinter Cell, Hitman, Watchdogs... generally have some success, however they are also heavy marketed or are established brand. Mix of stealth, action and rpg would be something new. Edited January 27, 20179 yr by evilcat
January 27, 20179 yr It's not a sequel to Alpha Protocol. The game is supposedly a dream project for Boyarsky. So Arcanum or something White Wolf based would be my guesses. Hate the living, love the dead.
January 27, 20179 yr Any guesses if it has gone to production or still in pre-production? I assume publisher has actually picked it up at this point if it is still ongoing.
January 27, 20179 yr Pre-production. Pillars team is about 50 people, Pathfinder has about 5-10 people working on it, Tyranny still has few people patching it and then there's Armored Warfare that probably has about 100+ people working on it. Doesn't leave that many people to work on the game, unless they've moved people over from AW team. Edited January 27, 20179 yr by Flouride Hate the living, love the dead.
January 29, 20179 yr Shouldn't they take it a bit slow? I mean, PoE2 was just announced just a few days ago! If it's your "flagship" title, that's an all-hands on deck type of deal if you ask me.
January 29, 20179 yr Nah, that's not an all hands on deck type of game. They have something like 200 employees. They need to have a few projects going at a time. Pathfinder Card Game - probably 15 people(if even that), if even that, working on content and updates Pillars of Eternity - probably 30 people Armored Warfare - lots of people, but the Russians are going to take over a lot of the work, freeing up people Cain/Boarsky game . probably needs to not be cancelled, should have a lot of people working on it

January 29, 20179 yr There might be devs from other teams who were passing by Photobombing a group photo is not cool! Hate the living, love the dead.
