The interview sound great.
Especially that the world will only be as big as the one in Gothic. Small world + finished technology means they can save a lot of time.
Nay, sorry!
That doesn't sound too great for me, frankly.
It's as i feared (and had already read from PB remarks these recent months):
Backlash was expected - but this one's too much into the other extreme (from G3 perspective) in my eyes, way to.
As disappointing as their last game has been in key departments (we all know which they are, don't we?!) - they shouldn't right throw everything from it overboard.
Especially as far as "The Return Of The Chapters" is concerned, this sounds very stale.
One would think PB should be able to come up with a better, more organic way of organising respawn, world progression and story advancement nowadays!
As terrifying as this comes to me (and it is vastly shocking, believe me, folks!
) - but i´m quite with Moe on this here, absolutely!
(Come on! Beat me! Beat the crap out of my flayed mind AT ONCE, guys!
)
*BIGgrin*
And also the size of the world - s.th. between G2 and G2NOTR it still should be. Represents the last successful standard as set for the G-Series.
One shouldn't go below, actually.
But, oh well, whatever the possible demand for an as short a dev cycle and the limitations of a still small team on the backdrop of the current crisis might require - hope the
PBs know it best.
*sigh*
Yet, this still all sounds too much backpeddling to me. Overreaction.
And heaven help, this talk about already Remakes - repeating the bleak strategy Hollywood is employing already over years, with mediocre success. Lord, please spare us! *ARRGH*
Appears like a wet community dream come true.
Alas, comm. proposals can be very tricky... and misleading - as G3 also proves!
*rolleyes*
