Ultima Reboot

Always found it strange that EA never bothered with using the Ultima IP to make an open world game that competes with TES. In spite of Oblivion's gigantic success, the open world RPG sub-genre has surprisingly little saturation.

You mean "open world" like Ultima Online, or "open world" like the failed Ultima 9: Ascension? I think after IX the franchise was pretty much a dead duck - until now, it seems...

I think that enough time has passed to allow something new, yeah. Oldtime fans should really not realistically expect something to approach Ultima VII in sheer size, but we'll see.
