In this thread I want to discuss some similarities I noticed between Iron Tower Studio games and Obsidian games.
Specifically:
- AoD takes place in a very harsh world. Obsidian's announced Tyranny takes place in a world where evil won.
- AoD offers great (unprecedented?) reactivity with the world and strong (unprecedented?) C&C. Obsidian announces Tyranny with improved reactivity and C&C.
- Iron Tower announces plans for a Learn By Doing system in Colony Ship. Tyranny will offer LBD as well.
Now, all this had me scratching my head, and I even made a comment recently that big developers are probably playing AoD in their free time wishing that they could make games like AoD. Then, I reached Gannezar in AoD and what do I find?
Granted, I am only on my 1st AoD playthrough and I don't have a very clear picture about what is going on. But the theme in the spoiler tags is a major theme in PoE as well!
So, what do you guys think?
PS. I am not having a go at anyone, btw. If it turns out that Obsidian are playing and are getting inspired by Iron Tower games, I will respect Obsidian more!
