UE4 StarWars renders from Obsidian

[Fry]

Obsidian makes a passive-aggressive pitch for KotOR3.

[Infinitron]

Hah. Is that the Unreal Engine-based project Feargus has hinted at?

 

[Fry]

This is a just-for-fun personal project that we are all contributing to for no reason other than we are all a bunch of super Star Wars fans

Does seem odd that a bunch of Obsidian artists are putting so much time into UE4 when they have no announced projects using that engine.

 

[Roguey]

Star Wars fanboyism is so repelling.

EA has the rights on Star Wars videogames, though. It would be odd for them to contact Obsidian when they have their internal studios to use for this kind of projects.

 

[Infinitron]

Well, it's a decent Unreal Engine training exercise.

Nah, I don't really think Obsidian is working on a Star Wars game. Just wondering what all that UE4 time is going towards.

Obviously they aren't going to make niche RPGs all the time, and adopting UE4 is a step in the right direction. If one guy managed to do this using UE4 market assets, imagine what even a small team of professionals could do.

It is all the that is left undeveloped upon which tragedies are built.

Looks cool.

 

[Outlander]

Feargus to EA: 'Please sir, can I have some more?'

 

[Makabb]

They have to be making a new Star Wars game right? I don't believe so much stuff only as a fan work.....

 

[Fry]

If they were officially working on a SW game, there's no way in hell it would be revealed like this.

Maybe it's unofficial reveal to create internet hype

There ya go. Don't let anyone ever tell you that glass is half empty.

Obsidian had cool people, but there were a lot of projects that Obsidian wouldn't consider or couldn't consider – both internally and externally. There were even ones that Obsidian didn't know it couldn't do, some of which I discovered to my surprise after my departure (hypothetically, something with "Old" and "Republic" in the title).

 

[Fairfax]

Seems they still have to learn how to change the FOV in UE4.

I was just going to post that quote.

Still, that took quite a few work hours (=$, if it was done in the office). The ships in particular are extremely detailed. Hard to believe it's a coincidence, considering what MCA said.
At least it wasn't a complete waste of time for them.

Reminds me of that stage in Jedi Academy where you meet Chewie.

 

[Turtle-Zone 3000]

Plz make a new Dark Forces game to make Katarn canon again Obsidian.
We all want some Star Wars RPG mercenary action.

 

[Jaesun]

I wonder how a now minus Avellone, Obsidian Star Wars game would turn out though....

 

[Semper]

that tiny fov combined with the motion blur is really headache-inducing.
