Chrono should be so lucky. Fallout 1 and 2 are two of the best rpg's ever. 

Obsidian today very different from the Black Isle days. Black Isle FTW, Obsidian can go hide in the biggest hole ever.

Havent played Alpha protocol so I can't comment on that, but KOTOR2 was good and Fallout New Vegas should be awesome as well. If nothing else it would be a very interesting change of pace. I'm all for it.

KOTOR 2 was half the game it was meant to be. Do yourself a favour and download the Restoration Project if you haven't yet. It pretty much gives you the entire KOTOR 2 experience, with an actual ending. 

I give you that Fallout New Vegas is going to be amazing though, but not because of Obsidian. Jorge Oscuro is one of the lead developers for New Vegas. He's the creator of the best Oblivion mod ever created, OOO. Pretty much transformed Oblivion in one of the best WRPG experiences ever.

So did people just not read the article and read the headline only?

they always do that!

 



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Oh hell no >_>

CT by Obsidian = Incomplete endings (You kill Magus, instant credits), complete age cut off (you appear with Robo on 65M B.C without any reason whatsoever) and many more.

Stay away from Chrono, you heathens! *grabs a pitch-fork and a torch*

Chris Avellone writing in the Chrono Trigger universe would be one of the best things you or I have ever seen, and both of us know it.

Even if it was guaranteed to be a buggy mess, stick his name under "Script Writer" and "Principle Writer" and "Scenario Writer" and you know you would be all over it.

KOTOR 2 was rushed to release, so you have to put the blame for incompleteness on the publisher. And OOO is good, but what man can't make a game- he needs Obsidian to truly make it great. I haven't played the Restoration project, Ill have to check it out.

Mmmm...no. And yes, I read the whole article.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

If he can pull out a Planescape: Torment on Chrono story then yeah. Otherwise, I sense a Tanaka mess up all over again.

Sir if you are implying that there is any way in which the Sith Lords script was lacking, then you and I are goign to have a fight.

I'm not arguing that Obsidian can pull off a good game, but KOTOR 2 did have a lot of bugs that weren't just to blame on the rush to release the game. And that also doesn't explain why they pulled out the full functional HK Droid factory planet for no reason. They screwed up massively with KOTOR 2. Yes, the publisher has a lot of blame, but so do Obsidian.

As for Oscuro, of course he can't make the game alone, but he can create the mechanics and implement them in a way that no one in Bethesda, and probably, Obsidian can. Actually, I have a slight hunch that Hardcore mode is due to him.
