Sinan Kubba writes, "I have no personal experience of it, but a cursory assessment of the critical reaction to KOTOR II gives the impression of a decent but rushed sequel that suffered with bugs and glitches possibly because of publisher pressure. After all, Obsidian was a new development team hastily assembled from the creaking foundations of Black Isle Studios, and it was only given a year to produce something that could follow on from what many regards as the best Star Wars game of all time (and space). Players and critics alike were forgiving."
In a new live stream, Josh Sawyer discussed the possibility of a Pillars of Eternity Tactics game and the challenges it could pose.
Video game development is extremely hard. So much can go wrong. With that in mind, Obsidian Entertainment is the gold standard that nails the RPGs it's known for while also delivering experimental games that people love. They may be one of the most underrated teams in gaming right now.
I dunno i might give that to insomniac honestly. Their output quantity and quality are insane, and all with no crunch!
I would go with Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio (yakuza games) or Atlus. RGG relases 1 to 3 quality games a year and last year atlus released P3R, SMTVengence and Metaphor. And most of these games are polished at launch.
Obsidian Entertainment has confirmed that Avowed targets 30FPS on consoles, making it yet another first-party release to follow the trend.
Another hit piece all AAA makers are going for this low fps do too lack of optimization.
Better have that much more impressive physics ai or w/e to make up for it. Not even having the option should mean there is something impressive baked in that can't be scaled.
Tired of obsidian's excuses too , even if i somehow can enjoy some of their current games .
After bethesda , sega , atari , square , etc , they'll only have ubisoft , capcom , namco , activision and EA left to blame for their possible future failures .
New Vegas turning out as buggy as it did never surprised me. Obsidian, get your act together.
