I stumbled upon this page by coincidence. My heart jumped as I saw the new web page. A sign of life! And this forum! gamesas is back! Or at least back on its feet - shaky, but with great perspective.
It is like reuniting with a long-lost friend again!
For me, a nostalgic player pissed off by new age dumbed down games, this is nothing short of a miracle
PLEASE, do not screw this up.
The opportunity is great, the titles and the rights to those that you have have SO much potential.
So much, in fact, that I will now provide you, my fellow gamesas fans, with my thoughts on those
First things first - Fallout. Sadly the rights had to be sold. Fallout has been sent to oblivion. However, if I'm not mistaken, the crew is back for the MMO. One advice from a hard core fallout fan: make the wastelands MASSIVE. We must not meet other players too often. EXCEPT on or near by established routes between towns/settlements. Though I'm not a fan of MMOs, i will give this a try. Simply because it's "By Gamers For Gamers" Btw you have to use that line again; I haven't seen it anywhere on the site.
Advice list:
- You need a subforum for Fallout games. Yes, you have lost the rights. However, do not forget the massive fanbase which will, by inertia, start gathering over here as soon as they become even more enraged tomorrow (28th). Fallout = gamesas, and for many this will never change. Use this to your advantage. Huge fanbase is crucial, start building it - you really shouldn't have any problems.
- Black Isle has to be re-established. Make it formal or informal, it doesn't matter for now. The name is a jewel in your posession. A diamond. Many find BI as one of the best gaming studios ever, myself included. This fact leads us to...
- Subforum for BlackIsle games. This needs no explanations.
- Kingpin is a HUGE potential. A well-developed sequel would mean a huge success, and a load of cash Remember that in almost 10 years no other game has had similar atmosphere as that of Kingpin. I still play 1on1 with my friend over the net and HMG rules
- Descent - not really my type of game, but many love it. It needs to be revived.
- Wasteland. You don't have to have the rights to the game to be involved with its development. I'm sure Brian Fargo is a reasonable man and certainly some kind of cooperation with inxile can be established. Especially when you remember inxile has had a few problems (no huge games if I'm not mistaken) and a big name like gamesas would surely give them a push.
Anyway... enough of my yapping. For now
In the end what I'd like to say is... welcome back gamesas, make us proud, and greets to all from Croatia, Europe
