[Makabb]

Why they had so many rpgs that were cancelled?


Stonekeep 2 Godmaker

Torn

Fallout 3

Baldur's Gate 3

 

[kain30]

damn, you love opening old wounds, no?

 

[Makabb]

Man those van buren shots look so epic

 

[Kalin]

Good old Fallout looked much better than that 3D tomfoolery.

 

[agris]

A fallout game with PoE-style maps should be Obsidian's next move.

Toddler Howie would never allow another isometric/turn-based Fallout title and I really doubt Obsidian will make enough from POE to buy back the franchise.

tl;dr - Not going to happen.

 

[Shadowfang]

Unless, they don't call it Fallout.

 

[Hobo Elf]

Van Buren didn't look too bad, though. Consider that this was how it looked in the early stage and it still looks much better than any other recent 3D game like, say, WL2. Had they ever finished the game then they would've improved on the graphics. It would've been a decent looking 3D game.

No.

 

[Hatred]

I'm going to say that they cancelled all of these RPG's because they knew how much of a fuckhead you are and decided its better no one played these games than risk giving you some kind of fun.

 

[Trodat]

Torn looks sweet, like old-school shooter crisp and clean.

 

[Nael]

Unless, they don't call it Fallout.

Which would be a waste of time. After WL2 there isn't a studio that would touch a non-Fallout post-apoc RPG with a 10 foot pole.

Thank you for showing us a great example of VAPOURWARE.

Considering that the game's kickstarter is less than an year old (Pillars of Eternity took almost 3 years to be made) and that the game is on Steam's Early Access I don't really see how it can qualify as vapourware.

Underrail.

Derp. Oh yeah.

Duh, of course people will "touch it", but Obsidian isn't ever going to compete with inXile on the post-apoc niche, unless they come up with a significantly different twist on it. So different that it wouldn't be recognizable as being anything like Fallout anyway.

 

[Shadowfang]

Nael InSomnia looks very promising aswell.
There is a demo somewhere and we have a small thread about it.

I couldn't get the demo to work on my pc

Yeah, I've had my eyes on that one as well. I don't really consider that Post-Apoc though perse. Specifically it is a genre called "Dieselpunk" which I had never heard of. Before I had heard that term I considered InSomnia to be straight up Sci-Fi.

I don't understand this position. RPG are released every few years from one studio and most of the time you play one game actively month or two.


I don't see problem with even 5 post apo wasteland esque games in one year.

Age of Decadence is a Roman Themed Post-Apoc game.
Dieselpunk, Steampunk, 50's can all go in post-apoc settings.
All that matters is that there was a great event in the past that shaped the world to the worst.
What kind of society, technology there was before and what survived is completely meaningless to the definition of Post-Apocalyptic.


Edit: Man, now i fell like replaying Dark Earth.

Then that sort of applies to... everything. Everything then would be "Post-Apoc" depending on your perspective. For an ancient Egyptian, Greek, Roman, HRE, Aztec, Mayan, Incan, Khmer, Chinese, Mongolian, etc we would be living in a Post-Apoc world.
