New Obsidian Kickstarter (Update: Not really, dammit Duraframe) (Banned Duraframe - DU)

[Zetor]

South Park 2: The Stick Of More Truth

 

[LivingOne]

Primordia RPG!


Nah,I know it won't happen.


Arcanum-ToEE hybrid is more likely since those are the only ones from the late 90s-early 00s that didn't get a spiritual successor.


My preferences would be a not-Ravenloft setting so they can do that thing Ziets was talking about or a Dragon Kings RPG but those won't happen either.

 

[Duraframe300]

I personally hope they don't start before February/March. Otherwise I can't be drunk 90% of the time.

 

[Tzaero]

My wishlist obsidian..... Hard SF rpg, Cold War espionage rpg, Crime rpg

 

[Western]

SciFi would be nice as long as it's not derivative of Bioware's work.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Josh Sawyer's The Hurt Dungeon: End of Fun.

 

[Horus]

Dating sim with obsidian employees?

Has the potential to become their best seller if you think about it.

 

[Grunker]

SciFi

 

[The Vanished One]

It'll be a Fallout 4 spinoff for Bethesda, only this time ZeniMax told them to raise the funds on their own. But they'll get a meaty bonus if they get 90 on Metacritic.

They'll need another Kickstarter to pay reviewers then

 

[BigWeather]

Come on, Wild West RPG.

That'd be nice, or even Weird West -- license Deadlands or something. Regardless, we don't have enough RPGs from that setting.

No matter, it will be shit.

A Wild West-fantasy mix would be great. With all that indian and mexican mythical creatures.

Sure, that could work (convenient way of adding several kinds magic, like chinese/indian/juju voodoo if you wanted to go that route). There's not enough wild west games, period (Fuck you R* for RDR not on PC), let alone RPGs.

I've just imagined Arcanum with a ToEE combat system

 

[undecaf]

Still hoping for an old school style adventure-game RPG hybrid heavy on c&c and interactivity, and lower on combat, in a world with no magic or elves or any of that fantasy shit.

 

[BigWeather]

Other than the aforementioned Wild West RPG, I'd love to see a hard SF RPG, or even something inspired by Starflight or something.

Maybe that's what this Kickstarter is for, and they already got the budget for the game.

My wishlist is either a proper SciFi, or a non-rushed VtM game due to executive meddling. An Arcanum "SS" would be nice as well, as long as they go for better combat(and avoidable at least 99% of the time) and encounter design.

Oh, and whatever it is, please have Tim Cain as project lead.

 

[godsend1989]

Everything that is not TB is welcomed.

 

[cherry blossom]

Come on, Wild West RPG.

Indeed. And a 2D one at that. Or orthographic 3D.

It's not going to be a license and it's gotta be an known cash cow of a setting.

Why not? There have been a few Kickstarters for big licensed titles. They might have cut a similar deal that they would be given the license for a particular type of game unpopular with publishers if they proved there is interest and Kickstarter is as much a tool to prove that there is interest.

There's also the problem that prerendered isometric backgrounds don't play well with modern city-street architecture because of all the long, straight lines at right-angles to eachother. You can help with that by doing Shadowrun-style fake parallaxing, but the PE guys have bitched about it so I'm guessing it's not possible in their engine. Which leads me to lean towards space opera.

Keen observation. But perhaps it will be a 3D FPP/TPP game? I wouldn't put it past them.

 

[cherry blossom]

Wouldn't it be cool if they married Wild West to Sci-Fi for Space Western ala Firefly, Cowboy Bebop, Bravestarr, Sabre Riders etc?








In fact, even a Firefly RPG?

Damn, it's so beautiful to imagine.

 

[Rahdulan]

I'm bracing myself for disappointment. Much safer that way.

 

[Infinitron]

Two words: Donut RPG.

 

[Haba]

Two words: Donut RPG.

That's not two words.

But still, would probably be the slam dunk Obsidian has always been looking.

 

[Chaotic_Heretic]

I would like a storyfag personal horror by George Ziets.
but that is unlikely as George Ziets is not involved yet.

A hard sci-fi game with ToEE combat
but that is unlikely too as Obsidian will want to capitalize on the RTwP framework of PoE.

Although tbh, I will be happy for any cRPG (without AKSHUN) in any non tolkien fantasy setting.
