Holy shitballs. I guess they would just keep their concepts without attaching the game to the Baldur's Gate series or Forgotten Realms / D&D though?
Nope, Wizards of the Coast reclaimed the rights from Atari last year. D&D is a free agent now.
That's one thing that has thrown me off.
However, the only other possibility I can see is that, if it is Dungeon Siege 4, Square Enix might feel it's better to market it directly to Obsidian's fanbase than put up a teaser site of their own given how their teaser sites tend to end.
Baldur's Gate, not at all. It was a Baldur's Gate game in name only.
Forgotten Realms license? Maybe, although there's nothing inherently FR about the concept.

It was such a personal project for Sawyer, he decided to make it as a Neverwinter Nights 2 mod after the game was canceled. He ran a development blog but it seems to be gone now.

Night Market...where the hell have I heard that? That's from something.

It would be interesting to see Overhaul develop an official BG3 while Obsidian go ahead with a Black Hound project. It would probably redefine the idiom "spiritual sequel".
I can't help but feel rope kid is trolling us hard and we'll end up somewhat disappointed.

I see, thanks for the heads up. I just googled that up and apparently they had a legal dispute with Hasbro and Wizard of the Coast about the rights.
The Black Hound rights should be returned to Wizard then? Sega had bought them from Interplay then Atari had bought them from them but now all of the D&D rights are back in Hasbro/Wizards' hands?
I guess it could be smart to drop the BG from the title but at the same time you also lose visibility. I do wonder how much are we talking to get a license from Wizards to do a D&D game. I guess they could do like Bioware and build their own universe to save money.

Yeah, it's either this or Magic: The Gathering that I was thinking of. Neither are anything Obsidian would be involved in.
I'm kinda with you. I've always loved fantasy, but I guess after Skyrim and Witcher 2 back to back I'm a little burnt out.
I thought about this a bit more for other examples, and it occurred to me that Insomniac currently has a teaser for their EA published game.
It doesn't look like Fallout, but I wish it was. Fallout has a LOT of room for improvement, which is great because they are fun games with great potential.
One of the problems with Fallout games is the loot, there is almost nothing interesting (which makes sense since it's basically the remains of what once was)
I wish there was a elder scrolls/fallout type game in a modern style world. Then there would surely be loot worth stealing ( because stealing is fun when it's something you want
)
Just imagine an RPG like these games in a modern world era. Why isn't there any like this?

I hope it is something original we can't guess.

Yeah I know the WRPG genre is kind of synonymous with that setting but I wish they would expand some. Alpha Protocol was great, let's have another modern day realistic RPG. It doesn't have to be a spy/stealth RPG but another one in a unique IP (since AP cannot be used unless Sega wants it to) would be welcome. Or hell do a brand new sci fi RPG. I just cannot take much more of these games with un-pronounceable regions or hard to remember lore with elves and dwarves. I could not even begin to care about Lord blalkejlwejv killing the demon god aljewoiufawsjv in avlkjdsfv 163.

good more games
LOL, good stuff.
What if we do that, but to help differentiate it, have a WoW-esque cartoony artstyle. *trollface.gif*
Nah I'm with you. See my above post.
Now that I rememeber, the creators of The witcher is making a futuristic RPG, should be great!

I like to think this means Sawyer is working on this lolzso it will be canned before it is revealed
The most cursed man in the industry.
Ironically WoW is one of the only games of that type that I was able to memorize most of the lore that came before the game. Dunno what made that such a special case for me.
They own that IP, though, yes?
I can still enjoy WoW because it's moved way past the serious fantasy thing. There's a bunch of other genres mashed in ther and it can be pretty light hearted (I know that turns a lot of people off, but I'm okay with it).
Just straight up fantasy is a little dull for me at the moment. I'm sure that'll change in time, just a weird time right now where I've played a lot of fantasy RPG's.

Thought Microsoft was making the AAAA title at Vancouver.
All I'm hoping for is that it's anything but Dungeon Siege 4.
Maybe the 4 is a countdown, 4 days until reveal.

There was that Team Bondi thing a week or so ago aswelll but I can't seem to find it now so no idea if publisher was mentioned

I'd be interested in a fantasy RPG if they did anything at all interesting with the setting. So that's what I'm hoping for
I think that's more due to fatigue from there being a million generic shitty fantasy stories. If the actual story/characters etc. are good the setting is largely irrelevant IMO.

no. kate beckinsale avatar or gtfo.
Yeah, that's true. Witcher 2 is an example of that I guess. I was sort of feeling this before I even started it, but still loved the game and found the setting to be pretty interesting.
Haha, but..but...I'm on a Star Trek binge lately! KB will return at some point, Troi can't dethrone her for good.
Was one of them a good camera?
After WB cancelled a licensed LOTR game after two years of development and probably about $10-15 million dollars spent on production? I dunno.

that's okay then, apart from anything else it makes you seem like a much more calm and sensible version of david jaffe.
it was mostly the art style and the mentions of fellowship in the code which made me think lotr. that being said, considering that nearly every fantasy setting apes middle-earth and the word fellowship has been around a long time it's probably a big stretch.
