People News Chris Avellone + Brian Fargo = ?

[Brother None]

Wait, where is the link to this presser? I just checked both the inxile website AND the kickstarter page (since Im a backer) and I can find no sign of this. o_O

Brian mailed it to me and - presumably - a number of websites.

Hopefully he'll post it to Kickstarter as an update soon.

 

[Anthony Davis]

Ok, I found the presser at NMA, but they still don't provide a link:

This better not be fake... my heart can't take it.

 

[Temaperacl]

He also posted a link to an article about it on his twitter.

Fargo links to that story on RPS from his Twitter, so not fake.

2,1m seems easy, considering there'll be a last minute rush in any case.

 

[Anthony Davis]

I just upped my pledge. My wife is gonna kill me.

They have $1.6M now and they need $2.1M to bring in Bugsidian Obsidian. So the price of fucking up the game is $500k? Good to know.

We need a "dumbfuck" button to counter-balance the brofist button.

Nah, it's pretty funny to have naysayers about fucking everything. Keeps the balance.

 

[TwinkieGorilla]

Sure, agreed. But we should be able to anti-brofist them. Not take away their brofists, mind you...just give them a "dumbfuck" post-count.

It's like I woke up at BSN.

 

[Spectacle]

Chris Avellone + Brian Fargo = TRUE!!



@Anthony Davis The only big publisher I can think of that loves turn-based games is 1C Company in Russia. Do you know if Obsidian has ever made a pitch to them, or considered doing so?

 

[circ]

Oh man. Pretty sure 1C just likes to take a dump and putting a label on the turd.

DO NOT SPOIL THIS MOMENT FOR ME!

Mr Davis.... Im kinda feeling very smug now about the recent discussion we had a page back. (although not exactly exclusively between us two, but none the less)


very, very smug and happy.

 

[commie]

pps. Yes, I am at TimeGate now and I LOVE IT. Like Obsidian it is a great company full of great people. The culture is very different, but in a good way. I am working on ACM, though I did join the project late.

You should remind your new employers about fucking KOHAN!

 

[sgc_meltdown]

about fucking KOHAN

bro I think they're trying to forget about that

I do, constantly. I love Kohan.

 

[Brayko]

I am definitely holding on to the $250 reward tier because if Brian or MCA announces that MCA will autograph the box as well, I know they're gonna be gone in a jiffy. Also, I would die a happy man with God Emperor's signature sitting in a plaque with my Wasteland 2 Collectors Edition Box.

Heh, good to hear!



It's a shame they've only bothered with 'slamdunk'( ) FPS expansions and cheapo multi shooters since then for the most part when they obviously have the capacity for more monocled titles.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kohan_(series)#Kohan_II:_Kings_of_War

Hey, Kohan II was a good game even if a bit different from the first ones and better and more original than anything they've done since. At the time Timegate were just starting out, not much hype or mainstream support for such a game either. It got higher ratings at IGN (8.5)than any Obsidian game apart from KOTOR 2 and FNV. (Their FEAR games got 7.6 and 5.9 from the same prestigious magazine in comparison)

 

[Brayko]

I would build a shrine to hold the signed collectors edition in honor of the W2 crew, but only if the game is well above average. If it sucks I will gladly burn it.

 

[LeStryfe79]

It'll mostly depend on how challenging it is and whether or not the quest design is better than the standard mmo bullshit. Fuck, I just realized how much I hate "modern" games.
