Don't you have some favourite games to count down somewhere or something.

I don't know. Imagine them grabbing and changing a license that a whole bunch of other people really care about but we don't give a fuck about. Then we can stand on the sidelines and nod sagely and go, "Yeah, who's the crazy ones now." In fact I'd sort of enjoy that.

Thank you Per, you really cheered me up.

Me to former fans "Don't see it as a violent change, see it as an evolution of the series. Face it, the old series was dead, Bethesda not only saved it, they improved it! Its innovation at work!"
 
I feel like I'm going to be crucified for being one of the people here who really likes Fallout 3.

If EA ever sold any of the licenses they have burning in that mass grave, I would think Ultima would be the most recognizable name to revive. Of course, me personally... I'd rather have Car Wars / Autoduel.

Whatever became of Bard's Tale, anyway?

They made a "remake" using the Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance formula.

It didn't do well.

Played it, but wasn't that fun if you ask me, mainly just tedious dungeoncrawl after the other.
 
lets help bethesda and make a list of games (IPs) for them to buy.
here is my first choices:
* tetris
* pac man
* pong
* SOLITAIRE :)
 
But Sierra dont use this licence anymore (i mean there isn't any plan to make Arcanum sequel), so i think bethshit can purchase it with no problem. Correct me if im wrong:/
 
Man, this thread is precious. I can't wait to see everyone's reaction when they find out it's actually X-Com.

Why bother? The first place is already firmly reserved for the upcoming FPS (fluffy pussy shooter) Halo Kitty!

The thought crossed my mind, but I didn't really want to consider that as a possibility for my own mental health.
 
When is that damn asteroid coming? I am still waiting for it.

What has given Bethesda the idea that they are actually geniuses with reviving old franchises?

Fallout 3 was a combination of overdone hyped, manipulated journalists, and tactics of 'silencing' the old guard by presenting them as backwards cavemen.

That doesn't mean that trick works every time.

Actually yeah, that's pretty much what it means.

Also, X-Com already had Enforcer. Then again, Fallout already had BoS.
 
Maybe the game they're working on with the Enemy Territory guys is an X-Com sequel made into a tactical shooter?
 
It's about time Bethsda breathed new life into some of these musty, staid old titles.

A lot of games need more immersion.

FP R/T EXTREME CHESS MASTER!
Who the fuck wants to wait the turn and think? That's so last gen.

Let's face it, chess has always been too smart for it's own good. It needs a developer like Bethesda to make it more marketable.
I beleive 'streamline' is Pete's term for it. Get rid of that archaic, rigid rules system, and replace it with something more fun!
Power-ups with cha-ching sounds. A lot of kids are put off by the movement limitations of the different pieces, so that will have to be revamped. Add some gory head asplosions, some bloom, hire William Shatner to narrate the action. Boom. GOTY.
