Obsidian: “Something awesome is on the horizon…”

Obsidian Entertainment has “something awesome” on the horizon, revealed the developer on Twitter.

[christocolus]

KOTOR 3? please be KOTOR 3

[Barnaby-Jones]

Imagine how awesome it could be with the new tech today. Here's hoping!

[christocolus]

Would be so awesome.

[Summons75]

After the buggy/broken mess that was Kotor 2....I hope not.

[CorndogBurglar]

I had KOTOR 2 on PC and it was fine.

Also, that game came out like 10 years ago.

If they were to make KOTOR 3 it would more than likely be an all new team of people making it with no connections to KOTOR 2.

[plut0nash]

Have you tried the RCM? It makes the game much better.

[MadLad]

They have a track record of (almost) pulling off, with a much smaller studio, that which most people need twice the time for.

That's not a horrible thing to be able to claim. And, that said, as soon as they were given reasonable development time for worthwhile projects (South Park, Pillars of Eternity), they bang out two of the best games of their respective years.

[lelo2play]

I wouldn't mind a successor to Fallout 4, the same way they did for Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas.

... but I suspect the news is Pillars of Eternity for consoles.

[jznrpg]

I loved New Vegas , all the upgrades and details. Despite the bugginess it was one of my favorite last gen games. I wouldnt mind them doing the next Elder Scrolls either.

[MadLad]

It was designed with keyboard and mouse in mind. Very UI heavy.
It's not like Divinity, which was very modernized by comparison. You can even say that they designed the game with the idea for consoles sometime down the road.

Same can't be said for Pillars of Eternity. They would have to re-design the game itself to work as such.

That's not saying I'm not for it. Pillars of Eternity is phenomenal, and I want as many people as possible to play it. Just saying I don't see it happening.

That said, it will run on most any basic home computer.

[cplus]

Tweet is old they already said what it is:
@pmarreck We've already made the announcement! It's for our #PillarsCardGame, Lords of the Eastern Reach Kickstarter

[christocolus]

for real?

[Sly-Lupin]

Yup. Shame it's not a digital CCG. I can never go back to physical cards.

Anyway: DAMN. There are a LOT of console gamers here.

[susanto1228]

many people just said that and Christocolus thanks for bring it up...the only NEWS i want to hear coming out of Obsidian is a single player KOTOR 3 game FK this multiplayer crap

[Peace_Love_and_FPS]

You are in the minority then

[3-4-5]

Star Wars RPG ? Yes please.

[bennissimo]

After the crapfest SWTOR was, a proper KOTOR sequel would sit just right on my shelf of games.

[Scrivlar]

Don't tease me like that!

[mep69]

Hopefully with the original formula eg silent hero. I hate hearing an awful voice actor.

[aftrdark21]

This! I would love a KOTOR 3. Played SWTOR and it's okay but I would really love for them to finish up the original KOTOR trilogy. KOTOR 2 ended with more questions than answers IMO.

[TheXgamerLive]

Hellllz yeah I agree KOTOR 3;)

[ForgivenZombie]

Just some card game, sadly.

[TXIDarkAvenger]

omg this would be so good. I mean this year is perfect to announce something Star Wars related. Please Obsidian!

[RatchetandClank]

I know everybody hates remasters (or a port) but if any game needs one its south park.

[Sora_1994]

I actually was hoping it would get one I waited for it actually now I don't have my ps3 anymore and can't play it at all

[Kurisu]

I bought it on PS3 last week and it's a great game! I'm not too far in, just made it past the first day.

[TheOnlyMastrx]

So much yes, I would definitely buy it again!

[ginsunuva]

Just play it on a laptop. It runs on very low end.

[MadLad]

There's almost no discernible difference between the PS3/360 version and the PC version.
It was a rather low end game, tech-wise, and there's nothing to be gained in bringing it over to consoles, aside from simply having it on more consoles.

[Forum_Pirate]

You're aware how obscenely unlikely that is with Star wars changing hands and the expanded universes complete eradication right?

Also, SWTOR is basically Kotor 3-10.

[Revolver_X_]

Only SWTOR sucks

[Takwin]

I've read similar comments before that SWTOR is many KOTORs, but that is disingenuous. SWTOR is boring and filled with typical MMO-fare whereas KOTOR remains one of my most beloved RPGs.

[Aloren]

The storyline of each class is very much kotor-like though. You should have played it when there was the x12 boost. You'd have experienced the storylines without having to do any MMO stuff.

[WeAreLegion]

South Park 2: Electric Boogaloo?

[dumahim]

Instead of fantasy, they could do a another one with the kids doing their superhero characters instead.

[WeAreLegion]

Yes, please!

[ZaWarudo]

Obsidian? Whatever it is i'm sure i'll like it, unless it's a Stick of Truth sequel, that game sucked.

Hopefully it's a console port of Pillars of Eternity.

[Christopher]

Stick of Truth sucked...

Hell no it didn't! (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

Edit: I'd love PoE on every platform, but they did mention it wasn't going to happen on consoles towards the end of last year. Would love for that to have changed, but unlikely.

[WeAreLegion]

┬─┬ ノ(ಠ_ಠノ)
Please respect tables.

[RJ92009]

Hahaha all this made my day!!

[Christopher]

┻━┻ ︵ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ︵ ┻━┻

[Kingdomcome247]

Lol. I've never seen that before.

[Kurisu]

I'm not that far in to South Park but personally I'm really enjoying it. I haven't watched an episode of South Park for years but I knew I wanted to play the game as soon as it was announced.

[jznrpg]

I enjoyed South Park , but I would prefer PoE on consoles , first.

[ZaWarudo]

Guess it's great for South Park fans, tons of fanservice and references, but as an RPG? it's pretty terrible.

[comebackkid9891]

Oh boy!

[KryptoniteTail]

South Park: Stick of Truth 2?

[Fationably Late]

Start the hype train -> Obsidian Entertainment also made Fallout: New Vegas. It is within the realm of possibility that Bethesda let them do the next Fallout as well...

[TheColbertinator]

New Fallout hopefully

[ziggurcat]

if it's a new fallout, it would definitely be handled by bethesda themselves, not obsidian (and, yes, i know obsidian did new vegas...).

[Perjoss]

Unless Bethesda have been too busy on a new IP to be revealed in a couple of weeks at E3.

[ziggurcat]

@perjoss:

.... which would be fallout 4....

[Clown_Syndr0me]

@ziggurcat which wouldn't be a new IP?

[Nwah]

I will cum buckets if they're making Fallout 4. Doubtful, but an amazing thought.

[CorndogBurglar]

If you do that, you have to change your screen name to XxCumBucket69xX

[Nwah]

You got a deal.

[Rookie_Monster]

I think it is a release date and maybe a trailer for their MMO game Armored Warfare for PC/ maybe also XB1. It currently have a Q2 release date

Either that or a New Vegas HD remake...hey, every last gen games seem to be getting HD port these days, so no surprise if that is the case here.

[Two-Face]

They have already announced it... it's a new card game. It helps clicking on the link, just saying.

[pyroxxx]

Obsidian making a proper Fallout and Bethesda doing elder scrolls (9?) That would be a great news

[Antifan]

No MMO, remaster, or mobile garbage. Real, immersion, open-world, rpg, adventure, and story-heavy..

Edit: card game. Sign- not even worth a announcement.

[WizzroSupreme]

That awesome thing Obsidian better be making is KOTOR III, or I'm gonna cry. Watch me, Obsidian! I'll do it! 1...2...3... *sigh*

[linkenski]

Holy shit I am excited, now. I hope it's some kind of contemporary setting or sci-fi and not another Medieval RPG.

[Summons75]

More bugs and broken games with damage control of not being able to admit your mistakes but blame everyone else for them?

[jznrpg]

I will gladly play a Fallout by Obsidian bugs and all. I do not prefer it, but it happens in most open world games , look at the Witcher 3 recently. I played Morrowind on a crap computer and it was like playing a picture book, but I still loved it at the time.

[EazyC]

Maybe they are making Fallout 4 in partnership with Bethesda this time or something? And to those saying New Vegas 2, no way would they be allowed to harp on about it in any way, shape or form right before Fallout 4 gets announced, that would be ridiculous. If it's an independent project a la 3/NV, they are not going to be talking about it for quite a long time, well after Fallout 4's release.

Also, it wouldn't be New Vegas anyway, it would probably be set in Boneyard or something IF this is even Fallout related

[_-EDMIX-_]

I'm very doubtful that its anything Fallout or even more doubtful thats its KOTOR III. Its very likely PoE being ported to console. Though they said they were not ported it...

Many studios say many things, we've sorta been through this before to learn to not take what a studio states at face value. I believe nothing a publisher or studio says in that regard, as many are not 100% transparent to begin with. Thus...I take that comment with a grain of salt.

Pillars Of Eternity coming to PS4 and XONE.

Could also be them teaming up with Ubisoft again for a South Park RPG.

[JasonKCK]

I would love Alpha Protocol 2.

[Fin_The_Human]

These guys got a lot of flack for fallout Vegas but I really enojed and the work they do.

[kraenk12]

They did?! Many actually consider it the better Fallout 4.

[Skate-AK]

I would be happy if it was just KOTOR remaster collection. I can't believe they have ported the game to iOS out of all platforms. I couldn't even see someone playing KOTOR with a touchscreen.

[IamTylerDurden1]

Obsidian is very creative.

[bOObies]

Obsidian always gets handed the best RPG franchises to make a sequel. Now I wouldn't mind a Fallout spin-off or a KOTOR 3.."PLEASE GOD LET IT BE KOTOR 3" Maybe they will be reviling their own creation.

Whatever it is I'm sure it will be awesome.

[soulsx]

Obsidian make the KOTOR 3 and milions fans star wars be happy.

[brando008]

Bioware's KOTOR is still one of my favourite games to this day. Never got to play KOTOR 2, but a friend recommended it and I'd love a KOTOR 3 announcement! :)

[soulsx]

Yes Bioware KOTOR is a masterpiece but KOTOR 2 is still good star wars game rpg. KOTOR 3 will best :-)

[chris13gt]

Pillars of Eternity expansion?!!

[Sly-Lupin]

Yeah, I'm wondering where that is. Initially they said the first expansion was going to be a super small TotSC thing... And would be released shortly after the game proper.

Hopefully it he lack on info means they're putting more content into it, like how Larians big content patch morphed into the DOS enhanced edition.

[andibandit]

Baldurs Gate 3, it's 13 years overdue.

[Sly-Lupin]

The trilogy is finished. There's no real reason to go back and make another game aside from the brand recognition.

And, anyway, Beamdog is already working on a third Baldur's Gate game, set between BG1 and BG2. If anyone makes a BG3, it'll be them.

[Duoma]

*palpatine voice* : Darkside.... something something darkside.....yesss

[Hayabusa 117]

You know what would be awesome Obsidian? KOTOR 3.
