NowGamer: Obsidian Entertainment CEO Feargus Urquhart has discussed the the possibility of making a sequel to Planescape: Torment. “There are almost no games in my past that I wouldn’t want to go back and make a sequel to. It’s hard though".
Chris Avellone expands on his earlier claims that Fallout New Vegas dev Obsidian pitched Bethesda ideas for Elder Scrolls spinoffs.
Really Bethesda? Come on
We could have gotten to explore more of the regions or revisit old ones with another developer making them. Would have shortened the time between releases of the main games.
The issue here was Bethesda was butthurt that obsidian managed to develop a better fallout game at the time (new vegas) than theirs (fo3) so they didn't allow it.
It's funny how they're both owned by Microsoft now. They should be able to work together now.
Playstationlifestyle writes: "The Outer Worlds’ subreddit is full of threads complaining about the Spacer’s Choice Edition, with many players demanding refunds. Publisher Private Division‘s support team responded to some ticket submissions, promising players that their complaints have been passed on to the development studio.
Over on Twitter, developer Obsidian Entertainment has been responding to fans, apologizing for the issues."
I know I'm wasting my energy here, but this has nothing to do with Microsoft or Sony. This current gen port was outsourced to Virtuos, a Singaporean development studio with a surprisingly good track record. The publishing rights of the game go to Private Division, the publishing arm of Take-Two.
This 'remaster' is busted on all platforms. Not even a stable 30 FPS on Xbox Series X's 'cinematic' option. 13900K + 4090 (the most powerful PC components available today) can't run the game at 4K@60. It's currently sitting at Mostly Negative 20% rating on Steam. The game runs worse than Cyberpunk 2077 with Psycho settings and Ray Tracing at native 4K while not looking the part.
And to add insult to injury, they're asking for $60 (currently on a 'special' 20% discount coming at $48). There's no free upgrade. Only if you own the base game and both DLCs do you get an upgrade for $10.
The Obsidian founder isn’t ready to leave the RPG behind just yet
Very good read. Looking forward to Outerworlds 2 and Avowed. Hopefully even a Pillars 3 with a very bigger budget
Make it happen!
Offtopic: I'm still waiting on a remake/continuation of NOX (I know it's a game from a different developer, but still in the RPG realm).
Ok, now we are talking really serious business.
AD&D is a great background. With a great scenario and mechanics, a new Plaescape would be easily one of the best or the best RPG of this decade.
That would be awesome but there would be huge expectations.
Holy!!! Planescape torment....Man! That's daddy of rpgs.
OMG OMG....PLEASE PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAASE PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASE
Bring it....i'll pay 200$ to play it..
The question is, how will Chris Avellone and the team will work out this story..it will be hard to pick up a continuation from the previous game.
