Obsidian General Discussion Thread

[Athelas]

He's called anus_pounder for a reason.

 

[Jedi Master Radek]

Thats what happens when the feasting ends.

 

[WhiteGuts]

If you haven't been fisted by anus_pounder, you don't belong here.

 

[anus_pounder]

On a more serious note, is the secret project announced yet?

 

[Echo Mirage]

Unless the partnership with Paradox was the secret project.

 

[WhiteGuts]

But everybody was saying it was a next-gen "project".

 

[Zed]

Unless the partnership with Paradox was the secret project.

that would seriously be the worst secret project ever.

we will probably hear something tomorrow when the expo starts.

 

[DeepOcean]

He fisted me 7 times in a row

Soon we will be a celebrity like Infinitron and people will fist us because they can't stop it.

 

[Duraframe300]

He fisted me 7 times in a row

More like 10. Those 3 fists came fast yesterday after a short pause.

And it's either a kickstarter or the next-gen game. We don't know yet, if it is either, though smart money is on the kickstarter.

RPS: After all this time and so many missteps, do you feel like you owe fans any sort of apology? Do you feel responsible, or perhaps like you’ve damaged your players’ trust?

There's some game companies I would like apologies from in this case. Hint: They both start with *B*.

Whats the context of that RPS question? Did someone offend their SJW sensitivites?

Bethesda games have bugs ---> it's a Bethesda game, we don't care
Obsidian games have bugs ---> you've damaged your players' trust!!

Bethesda games have bugs ---> it's a Bethesda game, they pay our rent so we shut up.
Obsidian games have bugs ---> they don't have money to pay us so we can fake caring about players when we sell them to advertisers.

 

[Jedi Master Radek]

today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow. When the big news shall be revealed? Any guesses? Considering our luck-the day after tomorrow.

I'm taking the pessimistic route: MCA was talking about the Paradox deal when he mentioned their secret project. Not only did he say 'project' instead of 'game', he also said Obsidian would announce it, which means it probably isn't the AAA game since the publisher would announce that. And I don't think it's the kickstarter just because it's too early for that.

 

[Jedi Master Radek]

I am quite sure it was said in January, the new kickstarter will be announced on this conference.

 

[LESS T_T]

Zed's question was about a new game.

Zed ‏@dphanto
@ChrisAvellone are you announcing a new game????++??++?+++++?

Chris Avellone @ChrisAvellone
@dphanto Yes, Obsidian is revealing its secret project at GDC.

Not a new Kickstarter, a new game.

If Obsidian announce The Simpsons: RPG, half of the codex will commit virtual seppuku.

I like the Simpsons a whole lot less than I like South Park, but I'm probably in the minority there. Most people I know grew up with the Simpsons, so there's great nostalgia potential for a Simpsons game in the same style as Stick of Truth.

Of course, we already have the definitive Simpsons game:

 

[Zed]

well there's smart, good, well-written simpsons, and then there's fucking horrible simpsons.

neither would make for a good crpg.

 

[markec]

Well I dont think that Obsidian really have big standards when taking projects.

 

[DwarvenFood]

I for one sure as hell hope it's no TV/cartoon show thing, the more I think about a possible The Wire RPG, the more I think it's a stupid idea.

I'm hoping it's not any kind of previously familiar title from any media, but an all new thing (for what ever that might be worth in the end).
