Is there any RPGS in development?

And i dont mean a FPS-RPG hybrid....i mean a real party-based rpg. Where is the rpg now? Does every game have to be an fps to sell????

I think the last one was NWN2 and add-ons. Does no-one else do them??

i have :D But i repeat its a console rpg. I'm talking about the heart and soul....PC RPGS.

Where have they gone?? Are they dead, extinct? *shock* :eek:

Has evolution decreed that there is no more place for them other than the low-tech indie rpgs you still get.


its like im at a party and all the good looking women have decided to leave for new pastures and all that are left are FPS elephant-women.

So when i lament to them arghh but you're an FPS!!! They say to me sweetly "noo i can put on the clothes of an RPG women and you wont know the difference"

YES BUT MY DEAR ITS WHATS UNDER THE CLOTHES THAT COUNTS!


We are all witnesses...... mark this Age well.... we all watched and did nothing!

And yes There is still The Witcher.....but one against soo many? It fights against an increasing tide...


/runs to buy lots of oldie rpgs so that WE MAY NOT FORGET

Sacred is something i think you will like. You can get a part i think going and its a rpg system with overhead view. Has multiplayer if you so wished to use.

Dungeon seige and neverwinter night games are kinda good. Not sure if they had partys tho, but i think they did as its been ages since i played em.

I thought Sacred was a diablo-wannabe?
Dungeon Siege 2 is monotonous slug slush :( The first Dungeon Siege was better - (even though DS2 apparently has a better plot, more options etc)

What im looking for is the successor to Baldurs Gate 2. A good strong story and a diverse party.

Why doesnt a developer get a licence to develop an RPG for Eddings or Terry Brooks or David Gemmell novels? A lot of them are about party-based travel/survival on epic quests! Yes ive played the Shannara adventure game (wasnt *that* bad)

I'd love to see a game like Ultima VII/Baldurs Gate 2 updated to today's technology.

remember....
 
played spellforce its rts with rpg elements!

ffvii is good yep on a PS. Its a little linear as well but minor complaint really.

I'd love to play a party-based next-gen rpg on the ps3. I think ill have to wait for FFXIII and White Knight Story though. I think they are both jrpgs? (kinda)
