Upcoming cRPGs

[Jaesun]

I just found out that Avernun 6 has quest indicators. In the map.

Decline reaches everywhere.

FFS! Is he going to finally update his engine to 1990's standards as well?

 

[ElectricOtter]

I'm playing Exile II demo from time to time. Pretty decent stuff, with lovely graphics .

Funny, that: his earlier games have the best graphics.

Exile II/III are the best Spiderweb games, IMO. I can't decide which one I like more

Damn, that sounds like 13 years of of Spiderweb games.

Not really decline. Just personal taste. Hell, many here have said that the most recent Spiderweb game (Avernum 6) was their favorite.

Although Avernum 4 was p. shitty.

Yeah, there's a fair bit of variation in what folks like out of Vogel's stuff. Despite his games looking very similar, there's actually quite a lot of difference in emphasis - the Geneforge series has an increasing focus on C+C and multiple solutions/routes/factions, with there being massively more options in the latter games than the early ones. Avernum/Exile series are dungeon-crawling focus, and it seems out of that lot there'e a fair split between those who like the Exile games and those who like the later Avernums (whereas in terms of C+C the latter Geneforge games are pretty uncontroversially better than the early ones - I still have a soft spot for G2 though).

I'm not sure that giving Vogel a mega-budget would work though, as he really does say some retarded stuff about what his 'ideal' game might be. I'd be more inclined to somehow fool him into thinking that he was designing another indie tile and then give some OTHER group a mega-budget to transport the design into an AAA engine.

Alternatively: Story, setting, writing, and engine by Spiderweb, graphics by Basilisk Games.

So, it looks like E.Y.E. is finally going to be released. It seems to be Deus Ex-like FPS game with heavy focus on RPG elements (stealth, dialogs, hacking, branching story, repair etc.) Might be good. They say it is finished and due in early February 2011.

I am now 100% convinced that you are either a troll or droog-kun trying to switch up his tactics.

EDIT: oh yeah, Skyrim is coming out in November so you might want to put that in the OP

It is a decent troll. If he had ended it with the "Jap-faggotry = real RPG" then no one would have even thought about responding to the obvious troll but by adding in the almost believably confused stuff about "story driven RPGs" and such...he almost had me hitting the reply button.

 

[Hirato]

This unit thinks the other units require an upgrade. This unit uncovered that unit 12853 was another copy of unit 9161 some man days ago.

This unit would also like to inform unit 8742 that Magicka was not released during the last year, but will be released during the period known as either April or March to the humans.

Are you retarded? And Planescape Torment is overrated, just like 99% of fantasy stories.

Q: What roles in the game design and development did Ken Rolston, Todd McFarlane, and R. A. Salvatore play?Top
A:
Each visionary brings a unique expertise to the team, and together they have made far more than just a game...

A hero’s fate is in your hands. As you explore the secrets of his immortality, triggering conflict and chaos throughout your epic journey, arm yourself with the weapon of mass information.

Planescape:Torment anyone? Just kidding, game's gonna suck.

Or Spawn...

Reckoning is an epic, open world role-playing game that gives fans their first experience with Kingdoms of Amalur, a new universe imagined by R.A. Salvatore, brought to life by Todd McFarlane, and designed by Ken Rolston and his team at Big Huge Games.

Oh.

Fuck you all
E.Y.E. is coming! The best FPS-cRPG since Fallout: New Vegas! Almost as good as Neuro Hunter and Sabotain Break the Rules! Not to mention this... what was the name... Desu Ex, I believe.



Seriously though, I really want to hope that they can deliver. Their ubershitty marketing reminds me of Deep Shadows' "strategy" for "Precursors" and "White Gold" gems (though rough) - "A Hilarious Guidance of How to Lose Money on Decent Undertaking"

Yeah about Sabotain and Neuro Hunter. Are they any good even according to popamole standards?

Or are they irredeemably and objectively shitty?

 

[roll-a-die]

Tennis does realize that MMOs are basically the true adaptations of wizardry in a multiplayer form, doesn't he?

 

[Kosmonaut]

Blood and Iron. Old school RPG for Windows, Linux and VaultOS.

 

[Serus]

Knights of the Chalice 2 are in the making. To be released sometimes after Grimoire and AoD but still one can hope.

As shitty as it can get

 

[SacredPath]

To help curb potential living room fisticuffs, items and equipment you find during your travels are unique to the individual characters--meaning only one character may wear a particular pair of gloves or wield a specific staff.

lol WAT


internal logic != logic

 

[Konjad]

the list has been updated

 

[Konjad]

May I suggest to make this thread sticky? I think it's rather important for most of the codexers to keep up to date so they can be cool kids all the time

 

[Konjad]

demonicon's site doesn't work anymore, what has happened?

 

[Roguey]

http://www.the-games-company.com/
Insolvency. If only the rest would follow suit, eh?

 

[Konjad]

Updated (Risen 2 & Skyrim).

 

[Konjad]

Anything new? Are any indie games not yet listed there going to be released this year?

 

[Kosmonaut]

Prosper's game?

 

[Konjad]

Prosper's game?

Prosper's game is too prestigious to be listed with mere games like AoD, The Witcher 2 or Grimoire. It shall have it's own threads in pro(s)per place.

 

[Konjad]

The list has been updated - removed DA2 a and Armanda of the Damned

 

[DwarvenFood]

avadon is released. also there must be something new in the making. find it.

 

[Jaesun]

When are you going to properly re-title this thread as Upcoming ARPG's?

Also, Risen 2 has had an official site for quite a while now and a release date. You suck at maintaining your own thread Konjad.

 

[Konjad]

updated avadon, DS3, DE3, TW2.

but idk where can u find risen 2's release date, my dear jaesun
