Game News Chris Avellone and Project Eternity at Rezzed 2013

[mindx2]

Defiance Bay looks kinda like Baldur's Gate.

That is exactly what it looks like. Along with the sample location pic P:E is not only making a "spiritual successor" to BG, they're making Balder's Gate 3. I see nothing that distinguishes this game from BG.... which is just fine with me!! This will be the best BG mod I've ever played :D





... and the most expensive

Publisher-funded classic CRPGs? Is Ubisoft only the beginning?

 

[Gakkone]

Demo incoming.

E: Oh, it's just the same old one.

 

[Diablo169]

Looks like the Q+A section wont be filmed then.

 

[Infinitron]

lulz, MCA had a Hitler moment

Hopefully this means

 

[Wise Emperor]

Pretty cool dungeons, so AAA developers interested in classic cRPG...

Publisher-funded classic CRPGs? Is Ubisoft only the beginning?

Do we really want them to? Because a lot of the problems with the publishing model would remain. I guess it depends on how hands off their approach would be, but I don't think that DA2 would be a better game if its budget was just a measly $3M.

 

[Infinitron]

Obsidian still pimpin' those Icewind Dale assets

 

[Diablo169]

This is the same demo they showed ages ago.

 

[AstroZombie]

Did he say NPC Schedules? Where's Roguey?

 

[evdk]

Dungeons with raising water levels? Zelda style puzzles incoming!

 

[MaskedMan]

wtf they were 30 mins late cause they had to get this working, they could have just gone with the youtube video form the first time they showed it...

 

[Branm]

haha they kicked him off it seems. Looks like they had a different demo to show but didnt have time?

 

[Infinitron]

I don't think there was a different demo.

Do any of you bros want to go through the video again and take screenshots of all the new stuff we saw? Concept art, screenshots, and also those Wasteland 2 design docs.

EDIT: mrlutze Got any more?

 

[Roguey]

Straaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaight. I've wasted my morning.

 

[Deleted member 7219]

MCA's talk was rather interesting, even if the demo showed nothing new.

 

[Branm]

Isnt the footage at around 1:12:05 new footage? I dont recall seeing that basic ui before.

I actually thought it was Baldur's Gate at first.

Yeah, man. Can't wait to see Arcanum 2 from Activision.

 

[Jvegi]

It looks almost nothing like Baldur's Gate. Yeah, BG is divided by a wall, and there are a lot of walls here (very different walls). Yeah, they both have buildings. And people. Wow.

That was fun. I didn't expect a new demo, quite a few new art assets was enough.

Look at the shape of the harbor, the bay and the bridge across the river.

Yeah, seems like placeholder UI for testing various functions. There also seems to be a skill (?) called Vampiric Torture.

 

[hiver]

It seems to me those are elevated levels of the city. Not just walls.
