Company News CD Projekt: "We will combine story driven and open-world RPGs for the first time."

[Scruffy]

Sounds like the Third coming of Christ.

so when i thought that arcanum was both story driven and open world i was wrong?

He did say approaches to "modern gaming" which means how companies deal with the increase in technological power versus how much you can realisitically create for your RPG.

so like arcanum, but with polygons?

 

[Aeschylus]

“... we combine the positive aspects of both approaches for the first time, creating an open environment with a complex, multi-thread story.​

​

CD Projekt, meet Gothic.

 

[Infinitron]

If you want to talk about more recent games, what about New Vegas?

 

[Scruffy]

what about it

 

[Excidium]

Man you people really overthink shit too much.

Imagine Witcher 2. Now imagine that instead of teleporting to a different location when the next chapter starts you walk there manually, and come across small villages and shit with witcher jobs and other side-quests. There ya go, stop getting lost on PR speak.

 

[Infinitron]

I don't see any overthinking.

You forgot one important thing: how walking there manually creates player immersion.

 

[Excidium]

I don't see any overthinking.

I see 2 pages of people trying to figure what "Story-based and open world" means. Is it like x or y?

They're just mocking CDPR for pretending that they're inventing the wheel here.

 

[Metro]

I'll believe it when I see it.

Ok then. It is indeed p. funny that something that is intrisic to the genre is somehow considered a feature.

"Was there ever gaming without then?"

 

[hiver]

They lied about same "features" the last time.

 

[Metro]

Good news, hiver, this one will have Facebook integration.

 

[Delterius]

They lied about same "features" the last time.

They are obviously emulating Bethesda.

 

[Rhuantavan]

Betrayal at Krondor comes to mind.

 

[Mother Russia]

Didn't someone tell CDProjekt they stopped being relevant years ago?

 

[tuluse]

BG2 isn't an open-world game. Not even BG1 would qualify under CDPR's definition:

So Arcanum, if you never use the map.

I think, it's us - Codexrs - who love bitching about nothing who are writing narrative that fit our faulty vision. I mean, they didn't even say they are particularly novel or groundbraking. They only compared what they are trying to achieve with "RPGs nowadays". So, have we had an open-world, story-based game in like 10 years?

 

[Jaesun]

New Vegas?

 

[Mrowak]

New Vegas?

Hmm... I concede. Somehow I didn't think of it. But then again I've never finished it. I cannot into reimagined Fallout. And I bet neither can they.

 

[General Maxson]

I'll believe it when I see it. This just seems like a bunch of hype for a shitty game.

 

[Jaesun]

Anyways yes, it is good they are using this design. Now let's hear some more incline in this title (But I'm not going to hold my breath). In before QTE combat.

I think after the rabid campaign of their own fanboys AGAINST QTE we can sleep safe in knowledge there won't be any.

Besides, I find QTE issue in TW2 to be completely overblown out of any proportions here - it's not like you couldn't switch the most annoying shit off in options. I am more concerned with the overabundance of cutscenes.

 

[~RAGING BONER~]

sounds great, can't wait.

though i suspect Dragon Age 3 is attempting the same style now aswell...whoever gets released first will take the title of first (20 year oldfag games notwithstanding)

I always throw my hat with CDPR since they atleast still develop games for the master race unlike those treacherous jews over at B-Ware.
