SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES

We’ve got some exciting news to share. Something else besides all of the incredible developments occurring behind the scenes on Underworld Ascendant. Thing is, we want to have some fun revealing the news. See if you can guess at what it might be. Go check out the teaser site as we do the reveal over the coming week here.

Possibilities:

1. Zep has been hired to work on the development team
2. They are adding Ultima to the game's name
3. Game is moving to third person

Which one of those begins with the letter "S"? :P

For the record. I am not "bashing" them. But I do not believe they can pull off the bullshit they spout.

Two entirely different animals.

Just like this recent Bullshit with the "prototype"

They were supposed to release the level that was fully textured. like ...IN THE DAM PROTOTYPE THEY HYPED!

But instead, what is shown is...it's default Unity Asset Bullshit. No two ways about it, they release fucking bullshit.

I mean, come on guys...Please...See it for what it is.

And it's clear (as I said a month or 2 ago).

That early "prototype" was scripted non-sense.

It had none of this awesome AI and "Adaptive" AI you retards seek or that they "claim"

Damn men, live in reality for once.

Collaboration with NightDive on the System Shock remake in some form was my first guess.

In due time we'll know. What we currently do know is that they are very competent, so just wait it out.

Ash Bubbles Thank you for stating the obvious. ;)

If it is System Shock, then I'm hoping it's not the remake but that they've been contracted to do the sequel after they finish Underworld. Although if they can find the time to help with the remake too then yay, I guess.

Zep you don't into comprehension. Show me where they said the were going have a release of that very level as prototype, and if so, that it would be the firs thing they release?

Saying ~nothing is scripted in this demo and and people will see that in the prototype~ does not mean:
- Our first release to backers will be this demo level

zzzzz

Zep went nuts about this game from the moment he saw that short video of droopy-eyes Warren Spector during the Kickstarter campaign. Droopy eyes = scam scam scam.

It's a shame really, because ever since the Kickstarter what they've been doing is what you'd think is the Zep Zepo way of doing things - just six pros sitting in a room and coding, no marketing, no bloat, no bullshit.

Warren Spector is a washed up has been.

Fuck, you even say it you fucknut.

A Droopy eyes loser who is trying to follow a pre-written script for him.

I'm surpised he just didn't fall asleep and just start snoring during that video.

God damn...you guys are marks for anything you might find "nostalgic"

Even though you get shown shit.

Sometimes people want to believe something so fiercely that their memory is altered to support the desire. Do me a favour, find the vid and the time when they said that directly. Could be wrong but I think you are making a logical leap.

You know he was looking down on a tablet on the desktop and not falling asleep?

It was painfully obvious.

Zepo probably means this post: http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/inde...in-prototype-stage.92639/page-83#post-4160027

We wanted to (a) keep the demo short and (b) really try to nail the concerns you guys had on look and feel. For that reason there is a lot of depth that you won't see until the playable around the end of the month.

I interpreted that as meaning it would be the Shadow Beast demo itself that would be playable and we would see more depth in it...but Jeff didn't actually explicitly say that. All he said is that there would be a "playable" where we would see more depth.

He obsessively shits all over these devs for about a hundred pages and then goes 'but I am totally not bashing them, guys!' :D

That seriously cracked me up just now.

Dude is a winner who has served his duty to the artform. Sure, he sold out with IW and hasn't done anything to cater to us since then (except teach future devs how to into game design I guess), but that doesn't override such a glorious pedigree of Ultima Underworld -> System Shock -> Deus Ex.

Also he constantly bashes the brainless cinematic lowest common denominator bullshit of today and the lack of design progression/innovation too, which makes him incline of games criticism since few else with authority says it.

How do his PR skills have anything to do with building a good game?

So, they're going to give the playable prototype to all backers, but you have to pay $5 to get it as a Backerkit add-on. You do get $5 of Backerkit credit with it, so it's "free" in a sense, but that can only be used to buy more add-ons.

But, if you backed Bard's Tale IV as well, you already have $5 of credit from that. So that's handy.

The new game is going to be called 'DESU EX' :smug:

Just kidding, it's clearly fucking System Shock or SHODAN as said before.
