<blockquote>RPGDot: If you'd be able to choose anyone from within the game industry to work on your dream project, who'd you put in your team?
<br>
Paul Neurath: I’ve been fortunate to work with some wonderfully talented game developers over the years, including Richard Garriott, Doug Church, Shigeru Miyamoto, Chris Roberts, Ned Lerner, John Romero, Warren Spector. At this point, I’m actually more focused on working with “up and coming” talent who can bring a fresh perspective to the industry.</blockquote>

Bioware is gonna make you their bitch.

[Voss]

Too bad they didn't ask him what, exactly, Floodgate did on SoU.

Especially since I keep get the impression from the Bioware people that they did everything of importance.

 

[Volourn]

So would I. And, hmm, it seems they are also working on making NWN for cellphones. WTH? Does that mean cell phones with the NWN logo; or the actual game itself? Interesting...

 

[Saint_Proverbius]

Yeah, I've seen screenshots of 2D NWN for cellphones and PDAs. Rather interesting they're working on something like that.

 

[Diogo Ribeiro]

NWN for cellphones? :shock:

Wait a sec... are they converting the Bioware NWN, or the SSI NWN from 1991 that ran on AOL?

 

[EEVIAC]

I too have read news that NWN is coming out for the N-Gage - I don't know why it would be 2D though - Red Faction and Tony Hawk are going to be 3D.

 

[Spazmo]

It's because BioWare has nowhere near the talent required to program something in 3D that'll run well on a cell phone. Remember NWN's massive memory leaks? Remember the 2 gig save folders?

 

[Volourn]

Remmeber that BIO isn't developing it for the cellphone; Floodgate is? I hope so; since the article that states that is linked in this very thread.

 

[Azael]

N-Gage seems like the latest gaming flop, so why even bother?
