New (Game) from the TA(and Co.) Developers

I found this today on my Game news platform Gamefront:
http://projectw.gaspowered.com/
Its a countdown for a new game by the designers of TA,SupCom and Dungeon Siege.
Maybe TA 2 how knows.
This would be realy great overhaul

Discuss Time!

No Guarantee it's a game.

And based on the last countdown time GPG had, I'm not letting my hopes get high and this should be in Unrelated Discussion.

Well,maybe but if it would be cool.
If its only a nice Wallpaper about the games from them of the past, it would show that they still like these games and maybe they are thinking about a sequel.

I'm somewhat apprehensive, considering that a lot of the key talent behind those games is now working on TA, but I guess that shouldn't really mean too much. There's plenty of talent in the industry, and I'm sure CT has something creative up his sleeve.

That said, if it don't run on Linux, I'm not interested.

Re: New Game from the TA(and Co.) Developers!!!

Please explain you're thought process;

30 Day Count Down timer --> Wallpaper --> Game Sequel????

Cause that is just ridiculous.

Also worth reading the reaction on the GPGNet Forum(which it wasn't posted to BTW, it was dug up by a forum member)

GPG is or was definitely working on a secret project... if it is "Wild" or not, we will see in less than a month. I highly doubt though that it would be another RTS game... again we will see in less than a month.
For GPG, I really hope it is something nice and well done and a success.

It also could be a smartphone game? CT always talked about companies reaching millions of players via Smartphones or Facebook... maybe it is something completely different than what GPG fans would expect.

Kings and castles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (but probably not )

Haha, would be cool though... but I doubt it too. lol

Re: New Game from the TA(and Co.) Developers!!!

Well, it's a countdown that specifically mentions it's from the designers of several games. It's not unreasonable to assume - *gasp* that a game designer is revealing a game!

Also, I'm just a bit curious... why do you always sign your posts? We don't need a reminder of who said what at the end of your posts.

EDIT:

I'm putting my bet on it being the game mentioned here: http://soriandev.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09 ... -long.html

For the people that get annoyed by it.

Eh? Well, funny that they didn't mentioned SupCom 2, Space Siege and Demigod.

But how exactly Dungeon Siege related to TA and SupCom? And what is that weird background?

Well, it doesn't look like TA2 or SupCom3, more like sequel to TA: Kingdoms. Or their marketing all messed up.

It's just for blind people who didn't notice that huge signature. You should respect the blind people.

What signature?

When the site states that the designer behind the next big thing was responsible for those games, all that they are saying is that Chris Taylor is behind it. They probably don't mention Demigod, Space Siege, etc because the sentence would be just too long.

I personally lost my trust in CT, since he always has been good in creating hype, and not always being able to deliver what he promises. I also know some people that said that he is someone really difficult to work with. That in the industry is not something that you wanna be famous for, unless your are a ******* genious. I believe that most of his fame came from the work of the dedicated people that he had on his team, and not just because he is really that good.

But...... most of the guys who made TA and SupCom are working on PA

See that there's no letter "S", so designer, not designers. Also ".. and the team at GPG", so, this doesn't imply that the current team has worked on any of those previous games.

Also, usually you have one "designer" in a game. The rest are artists, programmers and so on. Not many games have more then one designer... take Battlefield 3 for example. You had one designer for singleplayer (campaign), and another for MP.

I'm not getting my hopes up too much. I'm just guessing but if the coming announcement was going to be something incredible, Sorian probably would have stayed on to be part of it. I really hope they prove me wrong but GPG hasn't had the greatest track record in the last few years other than Sup Com.

Sorian said it is too early for GPG to announce the project he had been working on, so it is likely to be another game.

:lol:

I think only 2 of the people who worked on TA/Supcom are actually part of Uber Ent - a bit away from "most".

CT is a great designer only when he doesn't try to make the game casual friendly, so hope this game is at least hardcore-ish.
