Divine Divinity 2 looks very pleasing there.

I quite liked the first one, I didn't know that they are going 3D.

(Beyond Divinity I quit in the middle, it was just boring somehow.)

Not The Time For Dragons, Hard To Be God, and Divine Divinity 2 all have a nice style about them... Maybe I'll get into PC RPGs one of these days.

 

[Blackace]

ohhh Dropship is sounding and looking sexy!!

 

[Schnicktick]

There is also Jagged Alliance 3D which is looking really good. Hopefully it will just be a 3D face lift because that is all the game truly needs.

OH MY GOD!!! Ivan will be in there again. I love that guy! Hopefully customizable character is in there again.

Why are there Korean games in a "western RPGs" topic?

 

[Labombadog]

More of a question than anything towards Western RPG's: Are the expansions for Elder Scroll IV: Oblivion coming out for the Xbox 360 and/or PS3?

Wow, this game looks gorgeous. The style is downright amazing.

 

[antiloop]

Another question. When will we see Oblivion PSP?

It isn't cancelled, or is it?

Mass Effect is the sole reason I bought a Xbox 360

I'm also excited about Bioshock and Fable 2 as well

Why are there Korean games in a "western RPGs" topic?

Most of the games are by US/Europe devs except Aion which is by a korean developer for the western market and because of the gameplay/art style can be called "western RPG"

Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom is another Korean title (Phantagram/Blueside). Those two might be it... but it was jarring seeing KUF in a "western RPG" thread.

Great...another buggy rushed game.

Dragonshard...Neverwinter Nights 2...what next.

Fallout 3

There are no pretty pictures yet, but I'm sure that the game will stick to its roots, at least visually.

 

[Pellham]

Mass Effect looks great, as soon as the 360 drops in price I am picking one up for it.

I want to play Overlord too, the premise sounds great. Too many cool western RPGs coming out! It's going to be tough finding time to play all or most of these games.

 

[ElectricBlue187]

Fallout 3

I have my doubts...how can you reproduce the feeling of the isometric visuals without copying them?

 

[KTallguy]

Dropship looks nice but more info needed.

I loved Jagged Alliance but that screenshot is void of any real style... I hope the actual game looks better in motion.

Fallout 3, yea I wish.

 

[XSamu]

Wasn't Elveon supposed to be an Action-Adventure game? Not a RPG

 

[platypotamus]

ohhh Dropship is sounding and looking sexy!!

Where can one find more info on this game? Googling got me an old game with the same name...

 

[devilscallmedad]

I have asked the guy who originally had the screen/info i'll let you know if he knows anything more

There really isn't any details yet beyond tidbits they've given out for interviews. The company making it is a bunch of Troika alumni and their website is http://www.laidback-gaming.com/

 

[firex]

After looking over this thread some more, and checking out Sacred, I've got to add Dropship and Sacred 2 to my "interested" list. I don't mind a good hack and slash game at all... hopefully Sacred 2 can nail the multiplayer from the beginning, and if so then it will be awesome. Dropship is something I'm interested in because of the setting and the people making it.

Why Steam... the reason Steam is so fantastic, is because the game can be developed and distributed without any publisher involvement. Laidback will get to keep the IP, which means that the idea and world the game takes place in will still be ours. Laidback can make a great title, put it up there and people can download it for less than they'd pay in the stores. On top of that, Laid Back will only need to sell a very small number of copies to recoup its cost and keep the company going.

Laid Back is going the steam route...
