I guess "indie" has certain connotations to it. beetnemesis Send a noteboard - 17/09/2012 05:49:52 PM
Small, pulling themselves up by their bootstraps, etc.

I mean, these guys did Neverwinter Nights and its expansions. They did Fallout: New Vegas. Barring working for Blizzard or EA, that's about as "mainstream" as you get.


I'm not saying it's a bad thing- they're professionals who have worked in the industry a long time, and know how to deal with big projects. I'm just saying it's a far cry from the idea of a guy working out of his basement, getting his childhood friend to do the art, etc.
I amuse myself.

Project Eternity, anyone? A Deathwatch Guard - 17/09/2012 05:14:05 AM 1221 Views
The devs of KotOR 2 and F:NV? I like my games playable, thanks. Ghavrel - 17/09/2012 11:00:30 AM 825 Views
To be fair, Obsidian was greatly rushed by the publisher on KOTOR 2 atleast. Don't know about F:NV. *NM* Bergioyn - 17/09/2012 12:31:15 PM 503 Views
This is how they are still in business. They make crappy games of good franchises that people are.,. MightyYT - 17/09/2012 04:14:19 PM 746 Views
This is simply incorrect. Werthead - 21/09/2012 02:43:46 AM 854 Views

FALLOUT: NEW VEGAS is certainly superior to FALLOUT 3. Also, not that buggy. Werthead - 21/09/2012 02:35:05 AM 956 Views
Well said A Deathwatch Guard - 21/09/2012 03:50:16 AM 772 Views
Obsidian's problems have always fallen at their publishers' feet. lord-of-shadow - 17/09/2012 04:20:43 PM 856 Views
Yeah- I'm definitely interested in seeing what happens when they're on their own. *NM* beetnemesis - 17/09/2012 05:50:42 PM 480 Views
Yes. If this project stays out from under the heels of bad publisher decisions... lord-of-shadow - 17/09/2012 06:26:44 PM 745 Views
For the most part, yes. Werthead - 21/09/2012 02:59:56 AM 1046 Views
Already backed it. AliasRY - 17/09/2012 03:43:58 PM 870 Views
I think it's amusing they call themselves an "independent video game developer" beetnemesis - 17/09/2012 03:55:23 PM 794 Views
They are. They're not owned by a publisher. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 17/09/2012 04:54:43 PM 508 Views

Yeah, I definitely see where you're coming from. "Indie" is an evolving term... lord-of-shadow - 17/09/2012 06:27:51 PM 782 Views
