Bard's Tale The Bard's Tale IV Pre-Release Thread [RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Athelas]

Simultaneous turn-based combat?

I just came.

On the other hand...

You look at something like Hearthstone, for example. It's sort of that going back-and-forth process, and you see the complexity and detail and strategy and nuance that can happen. It's really an amazing system. I love those modern influences. I took a lot away from that, and see things we need to do with our combat system.

The Bard's Tale 4 will attempt to modernize and revitalize the genre - sort of like how Hearthstone approached the card game.

One way or another, dis gun be good.

 

[Perkel]

let's see first how it will modernize.

If they mean something like DOS asyn turn based combat ? Count me in
If they mean something like BLURB bioware shit count me out.

Re: Hearthstone

Fargo's apparently a huge addict, so in retrospect this isn't so surprising. But who will be the lead designer?

 

[kain30]

Bards tale 4?? what a disappointment...

 

[imweasel]

In The Bard's Tale IV, teams attack all at once. This increases the pace of the combat, and allows for a different set of tactics than the traditional system might allow.

This is good. Very good. As much as I love TB, I also fucking hate waiting for the the opposing team to complete their turn.

You're missing out, Bee. It is the BEST dungeon crawler ever made. Bar none.

I'll trust you on that, VD. With inspiration like that, I'm positive BT IV will be the BEST collectible card game ever made. Bar none.

At least it's not a Dota clone.

 

[Vault Dweller]

At least it's not a Dota clone.

True, true. One must always look at the positive side. Plus it's a catchy name.

Bard's Tales 4: At least it's not a Dota clone!

 

[Grunker]

Hearthstone [...] complexity

Hearthstone is a great game in the same way Bomberman is a great game but... complexity? Really?

(also who gives a fuck about bard's tale..?)

 

[Athelas]

It's more complex than WL2.

 

[Perkel]

There will be a crowdfunding push for The Bard's Tale 4, as well as funding coming from InXile.

crowdfunding confirmed
It all depends now on what it will be. If it is some modern rpg papamole then sure as hell he won't even get 1mln

(also who gives a fuck about bard's tale..?)

exactly

 

[Infinitron]

Less bitching, more news finding.

Come on, Kuchera, where's your interview

 

[Starwars]

Not really particularly excited by this but hopefully it'll be good!

 

[Jedi Exile]

I was kinda hoping for Wasteland 3.

 

[Infinitron]

Brian Fargo‏@BrianFargo
It's official.. And I'm very personally excited to be working on this. More details to follow.

Looks like this is an official logo. I wonder if there was some kind of presentation.

 

[Perkel]

I was kinda hoping for Wasteland 3.

did you miss expansion for W2 ?

 

[Infinitron]

did you miss expansion for W2 ?

??? There's nothing about an expansion for Wasteland 2.

 

[Athelas]

That banner hint at a first-person game...

...in Unity.

 

[The Great Deceiver]

Spoiler

To be fair, it could be something interesting, but talk of "modern influences" throws a wrench in the works. Then again, it's Fargo, so it's likely to be just talk.

 

[Bubbles]

IGN reacts to the announcement:

The other posts are all about Fallout 4 as well, since the headline called Fargo a "Fallout creator". Bodes well, doesn't it.

 

[JarlFrank]

This is a kinda meh announcement, I'm not getting excited over this. All depends on what he will promise in the kickstarter, though. Might end up being a good dungeon crawler if he does it right.

 

[Perkel]

nvm 2013 date....

 

[Perkel]

??? There's nothing about an expansion for Wasteland 2.

nvm. I saw video at IGN butchers of arizona but i didn't look at date (2013)
