Obsidian General Discussion Thread

[Infinitron]

Wasn't Stormlands going to be a sci-fi RPG?

You're probably thinking of BackSpace.

So, from the standpoint of , like, you know, kind of, it doesn't surprise me that Feargus can't secure deals with big publishers if his presentations look like that.

 

[Duraframe300]

What other game could it be? Occam's Razor dictates we assume any unannounced project being discussed is the one we know already exists.

BTW, Feargus says in the video that Obsidian currently has 4 projects.

Oh, yes. Then it is.

So, Brian Heins project.

To be more precise around january 2014 then btw.

There was something sci-fiy about the project as well, IIRC.

Either I'm getting used to it or he's getting better, but he feels less annoying now.

Pretty much. I don't remember seeing someone say "like" so many times per minute.

 

[Infinitron]

If only he had the killer charisma of the developers of Ryse: Son of Rome.

 

[Irenaeus II]

Just looking at this shit cover, you know everything you need about this game, that it includes as much dumb cliches about Rome as it is humanly possible.

 

[Delbaeth]

As long as they can create scripted and systemic reactivity to your actions, they don't care.

I have nothing against Sawyer on PoE, but there if Obsidian follows this path, I'm not interested.
I'll stick to RPGs if they still intend to make ones.

What is it exactly that you're objecting to here?

 

[Delbaeth]

I am interested in tactical combat (even balanced, even flawed, TB or RTwP). Not in FPP (VATS or RT).
New Vegas wasn't bad, because of its atmosphere, but Fallout 3/NV combat was a big flaw. Even FPS gamers agreed and found Fallout 4 combat better. But I'm not interested in this kind.

 

[Drax]

In my short experience, there's no much "tactic" involved in FO4's combat. It is better than previous games but not much.

Makes you wonder if Chris did any actual work last 5 years.

 

[Infinitron]

You should ask him about the reborn project from 2014, not the original Stormlands.

Sssshhh. Those novellas are coming any year now.

I tried another solution.


Who knows, eh?

 

[Infinitron]

Hmm, probably have a better chance of getting an answer after the game is properly announced anyway.

To be fair I think he was working on the Aliens RPG at the time.

Aliens RPG was 3 years cancelled at the time.

[Immortal]

And an arcanum let's play.. but whose keeping track right?

 

[AwesomeButton]

I don't know if this has been posted: http://www.ragequit.gr/specials/item/josh-sawyer-obsidian-interview-ragequit

Pillars of Eternity's area sizes and input systems don't translate well to non-PC formats, but I think a turn-based game could be very cool.

I wonder if by "non-PC formats" he is thinking of PnP or of consoles.

 

[Duraframe300]

Don't remember if I posted about this before, but Larry Charles Jr. is as a level designer back at Obsidian since July.

He previously worked at Obsidian in 08/09 on the cancelled Aliens RPG as a producer.

Oh and theres a new concept artist
