Its imperative for any team oriented business to keep their teams working as often as possible. That holds true for everything from construction to catering. Video games are no different. If they're finishing up a game or if a game gets dropped by a publisher they need to find something to put that team on ASAP or people get laid off/fired.Spirit of Jazz said:I'm worried about Obsidian though, it's almost as though they're taking on too many projects needlessly and could be pulling a GRIN. Don't see why they don't stay away from working on anything until Fallout's released given it's financial success is nigh inevitable and think about their options from there.

Time to go back and play the first two games. Are they worth it?

Onion_Relish said:I'd say the thing i'm most excited about is the fact that the guy who worked on Alpha Protocol saying that this project was coming along really well. If you'll recall he said he was ashamed to work on AP but was really happy with the progress of their secret game. and now we play, the waiting game
Last year they announced it about two or three days before E3.ULTROS! said:Sorta OT... When is SE's E3 line up coming out?
HK-47 said:Did we ever comfirm that guy wasnt just spouting bullshit? I mean we are talking about the Joystiq comments section...
You know what was also plausible. That it WAS bullshit.Cep said:Obsidian! FUCK YEAH!
Bullshit or no, it did sound plausible.

Sqorgar said:You're right. I forgot about the PSP game.
EDIT: I like Obsidian. They have a lot of talent. But their predilection for making sequels to other people's games is just weird. They are mercenaries for hire. They are the Treyarch of RPGs.
Kagari said:Never. They withdrew from the show.
Cep said:AP was an awesome game.
Well you'll be able to play DSIII for at least a year till D3 comes out...Morbid Angel said:Meh. I like Obsidian but I think I'd rather wait for Diablo III.
ULTROS! said:No more Versus XIII then.
Forever.

ULTROS! said:Guess we should expect Western Fantasy XV. Features overly muscular swordsmen with no hair and muscular female white/black mages with no hair.

Dungeon Siege on the PSP was pretty amazing and probably the best Diablo-alike on handhelds (except for PSX Diablo I on PSP CFW)*
This is really shocking news, IMO, and I'm very excited to see what they show at E3.
Squeenix is quickly becoming a player in the WRPG field. I'm happy to see that. Hope it bodes well with them.
*yay! acronyms
Cep said:Let us not get ahead of ourselves here.
Let us wait until the inevitable Obsidian takeover by SE (Nirolak, how good are SE's current finances?).
HK-47 said:Nah they wont want Obsidian. Especially since Eidos can do the same thing in their eyes.
bryehn said:I have no idea how this came to be published by SE, some kind of new "partners" program?
