Vapourware System Shock 3 by OtherSide Entertainment - taken over by Tencent!

[Bad Sector]

What sort of deal did they have with Otherside to give all that power to Tencent? Did they just gift them the IP or something?

The studio was literally dying. The owner probably just sell everything for money lol

 

[kangaxx]

Why do the IPs I like always end up in limbo?

Technically no, but it sounds like it's such a generous license that they might as well have. I guess if Tencent announced that they were not making System Shock 3 then the rights might revert back to NDS, but why would they ever do that.

It's now up to the Chinese Overlords. May god have mercy on us all.

I'd rather take my chances with Tencent than the hipsters at N00bdive, who have already proven themselves to be perfectly incapable of making a decent System Shock game, even if it's just a paint-by-numbers remake.

So he wrestled to get the rights from https://shodan.fandom.com/wiki/Star_Insurance_Company which was somewhat difficult and took some much money, all in order to make a polarizing remake and give the rights to Tencent, which will presumably not give up the rights to someone else without a lot more effort and money, given they are a huge company that actually does game development, unlike Star Insurance Company.

Good shit.

 

[Modron]

Not that I condone piracy, but Tencent's ACE drm warrants it. Would give money to scum like Nacon or Zenimax before I would ever purchase a Tencent published game.

Paul Neurath and Warren Spector sold their baby to Chinese sweatshop development?
Uncle Kick doesn't know if they are still involved in its life even though he's getting their feedback on raising his own version?
A version that will probably be old enough to vote before it's let out of the Womb Room?

Imagine the reaction if anyone went back in time to tell themselves any of this shit was going to happen.

It sounds like OSE are using the proceeds to develop "Thick as Thieves" with talent that suggests the amount for selling babies wasn't inconsequential. Who needs EA to be scummy anymore when the devs are doing just fine without any publishers between us? I mean, OSE's Dynamic Duo already shit in the hands of the Underworld fans and then dropped an impressive load for System Shock fans. Sucks for any actual talent that remained around those two as they ensured that OSE couldn't have gone to crowdfunding again.

Especially not after this class act. Next up: Thief gets the spiritual sheissening!

Shit is heinous. Fucking fuck everyone who allowed this to happen.

Why do the IPs I like always end up in limbo?

At least we got the first 2. A Confederacy of Dunces never got filmed at all.

Hot. Would romance

[Roguey]

As a System Shock fan I'm all for their never being another System Shock game. It'd more likely be lousy than not.

 

[Raghar]

So we well not get System Shock 3. Wow. Intellectual property rights, they are one of most common reason why there is no new art.

It should be like the Terminator franchise which ended at 2 and it remains a perfect franchise forever.

Nobody has stopped an enterprising new band of designers from making a game about a bigass space station taken over by a murderous AI. It is the most bland, most generic sort of idea out there. The one missing thing would be the brand. And having the brand, or even generous dev money, could never replace talent and drive.

THIS! There are 100.000.000+ white males in Western World. White redpilled males who are between 18-60 years old, who don't hate themselves and hate GloboHomo culture that hates them. Funny that none of them have willpower, drive, time or knowledge to make their entertaintment and culture. Instead let's endlessly bitch and laugh at our crumbling world. Say for SJWs whatever you want but they are fighting, other side is just being beaten and humiliated while waiting. Waiting for what exactly? Adult in the room in the form of government to step in and say enough? Empathy to wake up in the Woke? Gandalf to come riding with Riders of Rohan? Cavalry ain't coming. Fight is only option. Learn to code, make based New Arcanum*

Fight is only option

This is a start but fighting is pointless unless they also unite, then they can't be ignored anymore. Every political and cultural shift starts with a movement, true power has always been in numbers.

So, The Wall tell us about the game you are making.

1. These things take time.

2. A key part of starting to "make your entertainment and culture" is to rub elbows and kiss ass with the dominant mainstream community of creatives and devs, this process will eventually turn you into one of them.

 

[The Wall]

So, The Wall tell us about the game you are making.

Balkan GTAlike RPG. Production starts in 2023/4
