Keep using the C-Engine.
Just update it with more higher-quality assets and effects.

senorfartcushion1470d ago

What is it with companies making fantasy RPGs? There’s 3 or 4 new ones announced every day at this point. It’s the same stuff over and over again.

isarai1470d ago

Not really, only ones i know of are Avowed and Elder Scrolls VI

jBlakeeper1469d ago

You’re forgetting Forspoken.

isarai1469d ago

@jBlakeeper

Well seeing as how we really haven't seen just how the gameplay loop and character building works, i'd say that's too early to call atm

phoenixwing1470d ago

I buy pretty much every fantasy rpg if it's passable score wise like 6 or 7 on up. Blame me lol I don't care because I like them and I'm not alone

FalcorMononoke1469d ago

You ever play Kingdoms of Amalur or Dragon's Dogma? Both bangers.

phoenixwing1469d ago

Own both bought them twice on PlayStation and pc

esherwood1469d ago

I’ve heard that about dragons dogma but it just felt to clunky. Couldn’t get into it but people love it

smashman981470d ago

The year is 2006. There are space marines everywhere. I mind my own business and play my fantasy rpgs.

senorfartcushion1469d ago

I definitely think it’s an issue of what era we are in. The post-9/11 era of gaming was grey and brown war shooters, but I grew up with those games and really don’t like the fact that, instead of making less of them, linear became a failure of games design, instead of a kind of games design.

Sifu has actually scratched a bit of that itch for me, and hopefully Max Payne’s remakes come through swiftly.

Fantasy games I can live without. I’ve put 9 hours in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla (a kind of fantasy game) and I’m only at the beginning. It’s tedious to do anything and the dialogue is forever cringey 😅😅

“Come brother, let’s storm the field of battle and get our swords wet once more!”

I really hope they literally mean their swords and not “their swords.” Lol

coolbeans1469d ago

It's just the nature of genre cycles. A couple of strong ignitors like The Elder Scrolls and Witcher series can inspire dozens of other studios to try their hand at it too.

GreenLit1469d ago

When was the last really good one? Most company make half baked RPGs that almost fill a void.

Daeloki1469d ago

Fantasy RPG is a pretty wide scope with a fair amount of variation, so even if there were as many announcements as you're claiming, I don't see why it would be a bad thing.

Broncob1469d ago

They can make what ever they want lol. Plus it's not the same thing, theme yes but they all vary immensely in terms of art direction, gameplay, story etc etc. If you don't like don't buy it eh

esherwood1469d ago

I’m loving it and I’m assuming it’s because people are buying them

Ok this is really interesting.

It looks like there might be 3 studios working on AAA fantasy open world action RPG's.

Bethesda (ESVI)
Obsidian (Avowed)
and now Techland.

As a fan of the genre generally, this is really cool.

Palitera1470d ago

Hellraid became a meh "expansion".
https://store.steampowered....

In open world their mechanics might be really interesting. Really loved Dead Island.

Omnisonne1469d ago

Hopefully a proper version of Hellraid, or something close to it.

RaidenBlack1470d ago

Playground Games (Fable), Game Science (Wukong, souls-esque though but still counts), BioWare (DA4, last concept vid looked a bit action oriented, might be wrong), CDPR (new Witcher), Capcom (Dragon's Dogma 2, much rumored), SE (FFXVI, seems abit Witcher-esque) ....

GamesAsAService1470d ago

I probably should have mentioned classical fantasy, first person, action RPG. I was too vague.

But yes you are right, lots of RPG's to look forward to.

porkChop1470d ago

I think it's great to have more games of similar style to The Elder Scrolls. Competition leads to better games, and it'll ease the wait for new TES games.

RaidenBlack1469d ago

Yup.
There's another upcoming one called Blacktail.

porkChop1469d ago

Hmm don't remember that one. Slavic myths, eh? Sounds interesting.

Yui_Suzumiya1470d ago

Maybe it's what they originally had planned for Hellraid before it became what it did in Dying Light.

Duke191470d ago (Edited 1470d ago )

Looking at Techland's previous work, I hope its a mix of Dying Light and Pure Farming Simulator 2018!

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio26d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing26d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9226d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit26d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing26d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9226d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
