With Neverwinter Nights finally out and Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic well on its way, BioWare have dropped the first hints of what we can expect from them next. In contrast to their recent releases, the developer\'s latest projects will both be based on original concepts, rather than building on the foundations of Dungeons & Dragons\' Forgotten Realms or the Star Wars universe.

The first game will be an Xbox title to be published by Microsoft, with BioWare\'s co-founder Dr Ray Muzyka commenting that "they clearly share BioWare\'s vision and commitment to quality". The result will be "an all-new epic Xbox roleplaying game". The second title (also a role-playing game) will be released on the PC, but as they haven\'t even started looking for a publisher for it yet it\'s no doubt some way off still. All we know at this early stage is that BioWare are looking forward to creating their own unique universe for the game, and that it will be "an immersive BioWare RPG experience in the tradition of games like Baldur\'s Gate and Neverwinter Nights". Which is reason enough to get excited.  


/me can\'t contain his excitement
:laughing:
And neither can the japaneese

Well all you guys loved Baulder\'s Gate: DA (me too).  Baulder\'s Gate for the PC is incredible.  Neverwinter Nights is great.  This isn\'t 3DO, this dev has talent.

I\'m not sure why this announcement is getting mocked.

It\'s only a PC game if it\'s on PC.  BG:DA is on PS2, got great reviews.  You always mock xbox because you are a complete ignorant fanboy.

You don\'t even know what the game is--it could be a platformer for all you know.  But I guess we can always count on you for idiocy.

EDIT: I know Bob, it was directed at our resident moron.

I\'m not saying the game will be crappy, Bioware is a great developer.. Its just the stereotype the xbox is creating. Its very obviously an american console.. Without japaneese support it will NEVER get 1st or 2nd place. Simple as that

Why do you care?  You\'re not Japanese.  It\'s potentially a very good game, from a very good dev, yet you flame it because of sales in Japan.

I guess why you ask for logic from a moron, you get this. :rolleyes:

I was raised on Japaneese games, I love japaneese games.
Have you been playing games since the NES age?
Without xbox sales in japan, it will never get japaneese support. You fail to see that, or rather ignore it cause its hard to face it.

Oh ok :)  All is forgiven Watchy.

Well now there\'s really not much to debate in this thread is there?  XBox is getting another game, it\'ll probably be good, but it\'s hurting the XBox stereotype?

No, Chrono, I\'ve been playing since intellivision.

You were raised on Japanese games--LOL, now I\'ve heard it all (that would explain your English though).  You were raised on/by inbred, redneck hillbillies or I\'ll print this page out and eat it.

Hey Watchy.. do you treat your students like this if they make a grammatical error on a paper?

Post by: Chrono on August 06, 2002, 11:43:42 AM
Yes, i\'ve played more RPGs then anything else.
How many japaneese RPGs does the xbox have Watch?
I can count them on one hand easily... even if my hand had no fingers.

Microsoft could go throw money at japaneese developers to make a RPG.. but is it happening?
Nope, either cause they don\'t care at this point, or the japaneese are better then that and refuse the offer.. OR MS can\'t pay them enough to make up for lost sales from not releasing it on the ps2.

Watch, you need to grow up once again

When things don\'t go your way in a debate, must you always resort to a gramatical debate?
geeze your seriously pathetic, you loser

PC style games are games like Morrowind and Wizzardry 8
Japaneese Style rpgs are games like Suikoden and Final Fantasy

I grew up on Japaneese style RPGs since Dragon Warrior 1, and have loved them ever since.. the xbox does not provide me with that experince.

Chrono, you don\'t get it.  We are all talking about games--why are the Japanese gamers more important than North American ones?  What\'s wrong with MS adding some security to their North American efforts?  That\'s sounds like good business to me.

The TGS is less than a month away.  It would be foolish to announce something about all your beloved Japanese RPGs before then. :laughing: :rolleyes:

This is your post.  This isn\'t the post of a gamer lamenting the fact that xbox doesn\'t have Japanese RPGs.  It\'s not a topic started to begin a debate as to why, it\'s not even attempting to contribute to this forum positively in any way.

This is a post of a fanboy, of a troll.  Why you haven\'t been given the directxbox troll avatar yet is beyond me, but you deserve it as much as any one here.  Keep up crap like this, you can\'t keep going on like this and not get noticed.  Directxbox and Rast got what they deserved.  I don\'t imagine you are too far behind.
