Obsidian working on a new mysterious game

[Freelance Henchman]

Maybe it's a Mass Effect spin-off.

Mass Effect: Conrad Begins

Hell, I'd totally buy that. Avellone deconstructing the silly Reapers would be FFFUUUUYYYYEAAAAHHH

You get to punch Shepard in the face.

Anything Avellone wold come up with would end up being magnified bioware shittiness. Just like kotor1 vs kotor2.

We all know how much you love MCA's work. You don't have to prove it all the time.

Stop quoting mastermind, it ruins my ignore.

On a side note, I enjoyed watching new trailer for Dungeon Siege 3.

Could just be a New Vegas DLC, don't get worked up just yet.

They wouldn't bother keeping it secret and giving it a code name.

Seeing that Obsidian is a mainstream developer and knowing what mainstream rpgs have to look like in order for them to sell, I have no hopes for this one.

How much tasteful dialoguery can be stuffed into a Farmville clone?

 

[Metro]

The bullet points gave me a good laugh.

Necro'ing. I think I probably jumped the gun a bit too soon with the Facebook MMO thing and I'm sorry. New interview:

GR: Do you see another sequel, licensed game, or an original title coming out of Obsidian after DS3?

FU: There's nothing that's been moved forward, but we'd love to develop Dungeon Siege 4. On the flip side I think as a studio we have some original ideas and stories to tell. We have a great idea for a new world we've just started pitching to publishers and we have an older pitch that we really like called "Defiance" which is about a fantasy world where, basically, Sauron won. Everything isn't happy in The Shire, they didn't get the ring in the fire and the hobbits are all dead. We think that's a cool pitch and we hope to have a publisher pick that up at some point.

We're also working on an original IP XBLA game. so that hopefully will be out first quarter next year.

GR: I deal with so many of those, so I love seeing bigger developers explore that space.

FU: It'll be an action RPG that's focused on fun, not Dungeon Siege, it's quite a bit different in a different genre with a different camera.

We also might throw our hat in the whole free-to-play thing. In the game industry there's a lot of different opportunities for all different kinds of products.

GR: It's great that you can take an IP that's not original but you can do something completely different and fresh and new.

FU: There actually is another game that I can't talk about at all.

GR: Are you sure?

FU: No, I'll get killed, but it's a licensed product but it's a licensed product that when people hear about it they're going to be "well you had to do that. there's no option, if I was a developer and I was offered that I would just do it."

I'm hoping that'll be announced around E3.

Xbox Live Arcade Action-RPG, oh yes, that's so much better. Defiance also sounds totally unappealing (another Tolkienesque fantasy... WITH EDGE!!!!).

No, it suggest a pretty unused scenario in games.Its actually pretty interesting.



Also Obsidian writers are good enough to portray the politcal and economical reprucassions of such a scenario.

 

[Roguey]

I am just really upset about Tolkien's omnipresent influence in fantasy RPGs. Fuck him, fuck him to death.

 

[Ruprekt]

If the Nazis had won WW2 we'd have real fantasy not this fucking english pastiche.

And we wouldn't need RPGs anyway. There'd be 4000 miles of eastern frontier where a man could live real adventure.

 

[racofer]

Obshitian will manage to make it suck more than usual. Fear not.

 

[Rogue]

As fascinating as this is, I for one don't care. I'm replaying a bunch of classics and am having a blast. Waiting for a good *new* RPG to pop up is pointless.

 

[Shannow]

Obsidian making 20 games at once again? Probably the most promising ones will get canned again and we'll get Alpha(version) Brotocol 2. yay...

There you have it, faggots. Virginia is an original IP and it's Xbawks exclusive.

Stalker.

Just like your title is starting to wear off.

EDIT: Hahahaha all this suspense..... *whistles innocently* I think I'll get to 500 posts and just disappear. mwahahaha...

I'm glad to see Obsidian understands the nature of Dungeon Siege perfectly which gives me hope that they won't rape the series by focusing on providing any entertainment in DS3.

 

[Frank Bigtime]

DC is in virginia. So it must be fallout 4.

Don't blame Tolkien, blame the devs who are not willing to come up with something original.

Actually a well written, well designed world where the evil had won, is quite interesting.
