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

[undecaf]

What they really should do, is an ARPG (a for adventure) that plays essentially like this but with 1000 fold weightier story, C&C and RPG mechanics. Of course they won't, but they should.

Adventure sucks. At least it will in shit isometric graphics.

Adventure games should be AAA values only.

It probably would suck with ISO approach, however, Imagine the game I linked with current day artistic values awesome 2D art, large city to explore, interactivity and reactivity up the wazoo, abstracted combat and an amazing player driven noir style scifi storyline.

ISO adventures can be great!
E.g., Sanitarium.

And, hopefully, Stasis.






And... PS:T

[Visbhume]

A geriatric RPG in which character creation involves choosing a starting age and a list of ailments. You would try to survive the longest in the nursing home, dealing with overstressed nurses, perstering your own ungrateful progeny so that they visit you, and fending off crushing depression when they don't come (with a mechanich resembling sanity from Call of Cthulhu.)

Romances as a stretch goal.

 

[Tommy Wiseau]

Why not, Chris Avellone obviously likes writing romances, after all.

 

[Jasede]

Sorry for being a gay-ass weeaboo but Chris would write excellent Shinji -> Kaworu, Rei, Asuka romances.

I'd like to see a Quest for Glory-like with more C&C in a wierd horror setting.

A crpg in a wierd horror setting would be fine too of course.

Have you played Legacy? I'm not sure about C&Cs but it's a very solid horror-themed RPG/Adventure otherwise.

Me too. But not from Obsidian.

Itz here!

[Infinitron]

Meh...just a bunch of hype, really.

 

[Crooked Bee]

Blah blah blah blah episodic Skyrim

wait what???

 

[Duraframe300]

Just ideas at this point. RPS overhyped

And so did I

“There’s something we’re talking about that I think would be really cool, but it’s not an original property,” he says. “It’s a licensed property. But it’s not Alpha Protocol! It’s something we can still do a ton of creative stuff with, though. And then the other thing is an original property. Also, there’s a third thing that somebody approached us with, but I really don’t think that’s going to work out.”

I just hope it isn't fantasy. They already have PE to take care of that.

 

[Athelas]

What's with the constant Skyrim name dropping anyway (see also CD Projekt RED)? You'd think there existed no open-world RPG's prior to it.

“What I’m trying to figure out is, how could we make something that is more like a Skyrim for PC – forget console for now – with the engine we made in Unity for Eternity? Where we are with our conversation, quest, data editors, and all of that. If we were careful about scope and let Chris Avellone go wild with creating a new world, more of an open world, what could we do?”

Hmm...

 

[Roguey]

Ha haaaaaaa all of Urquhart's ideas are terrible.

I just hope it isn't fantasy. They already have PE to take care of that.

Josh says Aliens is the one canceled game he'd like to finish the most, Sega might be agreeable as long as they don't have to pay any money themselves.

 

[Nikolaj]

Well, at least Skyrim is mentioned in the interview. Why RPS　ｄｅｃｉｄｅｄ　ｔｏ　ｔｈｒｏｗ　ｉｎ　ａ　Ｐｌａｎｅｓｃａｐｅ　ｒｅｆｅｒｅｎｃｅ is more baffling, since that doesn't seem to have been mentioned anywhere.

Anyway, that article isn't informative at all, except to inform those people that didn't already know, that there will be a second Obsidian Kickstarter.

 

[ColCol]

Disappointing.

 

[kenup]

So, RPS jumped the gun with one Skyrim comment? Meh...

Please don't be fantasy.

“We have other ideas too,” he enthuses. “Like Eternity has a big party size, but what happens if we render in close and have a smaller party? Make it more about the characters and less about the tactics?

urgggggggggggggggggh

Feargus is a mere CEO, cut him some slack

What a fucking awful article. Fuck this Grayson guy.

An isometric hiking simulator?

I’m happy to make Eternity, and the hope is to come up with another Kickstarter that people would be interested in. My hope is that by March or April of next year, we’ll have something we can kind of start talking to people about.

That's all folks.

 

[AstroZombie]

Skyrim? Fewer party members? Get the fuck out of here with that nonsense.
