Obsidian General Discussion Thread

[Iznaliu]

Project Indiana isn't going to be like Obsidian's previous AAA games in that respect.

How do you know?

One could argue that Armored Warfare is AAA game.

One could argue that this is an AAA game.

Only a moron would call that an AAA game.

They were if you consider their games were being published by companies bigger than them, but right now I'd say they are AA.

This Kodex Kroat heard some info about Project Indiana at Reboot Develop:

I'm at a game dev conference in Croatia and Tim Cain said yesterday he's working on a game which he cannot name...
but he said if you like Fallout you'll really like this game.
Some people from the audience started shouting Fallout 5 and he nodded sort of a yes.

I''ll try to find out more at tonight's party.. MCA and T-Ray are also here!
http://www.rebootdevelop.hr/

OK, MCA pried extra info from him when they did a world building panel around the noon...
It's an original IP and the in-game currency are credits.. no bottlecaps..
So no it's not Fallout but still a PA setting.

We have a huge party tonight so I'm getting wasted and getting that extra info from him!
GERONIMOOOO!

Someone should probably tell Feargus that Tim is drunk on cheap Croation chardonnay giving away company secrets.

 

[Roguey]

When did Indiana start development?

I think it'd be pretty delightful if it happened after Fallout 4 and Feargus's pitch was "Bethesda dropped the ball, look at these review scores. We can deliver a spiritual successor to New Vegas which now has an overwhelmingly positive rating on Steam."

I don't know, but I think the first time we may have heard about it, or the idea of it, was here: http://www.rpgcodex.net/article.php?id=10151

Two weeks after Fallout 4's release!

I can tell you that it was officially signed with its mystery publisher sometime near the end of 2016. How much work was done on the game prior to that is unknown.

[Pirata Alma Negra]

Wasn't there a photo of Tim and Boyarsky hinting something before that?

 

[Fry]

Not knowing who's financing this thing is really annoying me.

[Rahdulan]

I bet he's sticking up for MCA when he says Arcanum had bad UI.

 

[Infinitron]

lol, some of this is going to be controversial here

 

[Alienman]

That he liked Fallout 4?

 

[Deleted member 7219]

That he liked Fallout 4?

He said he "liked" it but paid it a backhanded compliment in terms of their new perk system. He said he loved New Vegas.

 

[Excidium II]

He probably didn't like it as much as he liked Fallout 3.
