GameSpot - BioWare, Obsidian and Disney on Licensed IP
September 20th, 2009, 18:57
GameSpot covers a GDC panel that saw Obsidian, BioWare and Disney discussing developing licensed games, which turns out to be a fairly dry subject:
Urquhart has experience working with Dungeons & Dragons, Star Trek, and more, and told developers the best things they can do is ask lots of questions about the license. In working with Forgotten Realms, he said the developers made sure to ask about everything they could do with the world, from blowing up a city to having specific characters use one weapon or another.More information.
Nicolai followed up on that point by urging developers of licensed games to still be creative, to try to do something new in the universe or push boundaries no matter how firmly established it is.

Just arrived spontaneous thought :
Carribbean RPG ???
Because of the movies … And the brand new rumor of a new movie coming 2010 or 2011 …
I think this would be … very interesting.
It's got everything it needs : Some kind of magic, mayhem, and character development …

To see Obsidian, BioWare and 'Disney' in the same sentence makes me ill.

There already is a Pirates of the Caribbean rpg so another one wouldn't be a big surprise. (It was a really good game also)

Bioware + Disney = Natural evolution
DA has a 3rd project director now. First was Scott Greigg.

Makes sense to me, given the "new" Bioware.

Yes, Disney is all about sex and violence.
Dragon Age seems to fit that bill, even if the audience is a different one
