Owlcat Games Future Projects Thread

[Finarfin]

Owlcat is now also over 400, and given the Rogue Trader DLC and Dark Heresey, not all of them are working on this, so it's a bit less.

Yet we're not gonna get the 40k equivalent of Baldur's Gate 3.

Good?

[Unhelpful Contrarian]

Guess for IP that game is based on
Stargate
Battlestar Galactica
The Expanse
Traveller
Star Trek

No one's gonna buy any game based on these boomercore IPs.

I think The Expanse has the most likely chance of being successful.

[Unhelpful Contrarian]

So when exactly is the alpha of Dark Heresy dropping?

I would say early next year if I were to guess.

[Unhelpful Contrarian]

Even Firefly or Farscape are possible. They were in their poll.

Possibly, but Owlcat said that any future IP adaptations need to be be fairly popular for growth potential and a series they like.

► Show Spoiler

Sadly no chance they would do a Lexx game.

Never heard of the series but I like the OST from the link.

[gerey]

Traveller or the Expanse would be pretty kino, but Owlcat would probably **** up the cool Expanse battles.

Dunno how you'd even make a Battlestar Galactica cRPG.

owlcat never made any decent game

Why not?

Owlcat's games have all been at best just OK, very middling with zero improvement.

Pros: Chad and Stacy are front and center.

[rusty_shackleford]

bioware just left a ton of money sitting on the ground and it took years for devs(first larian) to go over and pick it up, chronically ******** developers

[TheCumGuzzler]

The Expanse

It's this
https://osirisreborn.owlcat.games/

Already looks better than Starfield, which is such a low bar to beat but I really want a good space RPG (Mass Effect is ******* trash)

The Expanse

Figure it was going to be the expanse from there previous AMA’s. Trailer was ok, nothing terribly exciting since it was mostly cutscenes with some gameplay by the end, although I will give credit to Owlcat that it look better announcement showcase than Exodus.

[LemonDemonGirl]

****. I was hoping for a Stargate game

[MrTwinkls]

It's ok. I will wait for a Lexx game for as long as needed.

Never been done before? An Owlcat game set in the late 16th century that follows the Roanoke English on their journey to Hatteras island, from there they board a ship back to England, only to find out they've crossed a portal into [Insert other fantasy setting here].

I'm positive this specific game has never been done before because evidence of the Roanoke colony ending up at Hatteras was only just found. https://archive.ph/sSpyl

Uh, it's been known that they went to Hatteras Island the whole time. They carved "Croatoan", the contemporary name of the island, into a wooden palisade before leaving, and although nobody got around to checking in on them there for years, the natives there were known for generations afterward to have suspiciously fair-skinned blue-eyed members. I've read books from before I was born that affirm that everyone always assumed that they went there and joined the native population.

Saying that we only just now "found evidence" of it when it's been common knowledge forever is a redditor-tier "SOURCE???" argument.

I always assumed that it was one of those things (((Archeologists))) gave the side eye until they found evidence that made it undeniable, which is supposedly what happened in that article.
As far as I'm concerned, the Solutrean hypothesis is the one that really scares people. loooool

There's not really a racial angle on it (especially since it involves whites assimilating INTO a native tribe) so everyone pretty much agreed and accepted it until it started to be popular to make it a "woooo mystery~".

You know full well that everything that was common knowledge years ago is flagged by """official sources""" for being "against the revolution".

I remember learning about it in school in the 80s and even as a kid thinking that conspiracies about what could have happened to them were braindead stupid.

Meet the Owlbrick

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Owlcat Games, we put together a little journey through the last decade – narrated by our good friend Ian Russell.

We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

[The_Mask]

Owlcat Games has removed its new launcher less than a day after it went live, after massive player backlash.

People said the launcher was unnecessary and only added an extra step before starting their games. In response, Owlcat apologized and decided to scrap it.

“We heard your feedback loud and clear,” the studio said. “We understand that the launcher caused frustration and wasn’t the experience you expected.”

Complaining works

[Watabou]

I really hope the third act of Dark Heresy isn't going to be a repeat of Wrath of the Righteous and Rogue Trader. We've already been taken twice to an evil place. A third time is too much.

[Maledict]

WotR was an awful game. I refunded RT very quickly. They're only going woker and woker and disregard quality. Apparently they're publishing a Polish game. They're dead to me.

[Acrux]

Apparently they're publishing a Polish game. They're dead to me.

That would be the last straw for me as well.

[Noirog]

Isn't it only one particular writer that's particularly woke? The one that was pushing to put in that ***** dwarf into the Pathfinder games. Otherwise everything else Owlcat seems to add is just performative. Despite them removing the word "gender" the game still differentiates the two, they don't make all the base game companions playersexual. It's still dumb they feel the need to do this but they aren't too bad in comparison to other devs. I don't think that writer is even in the team for RT and DH too, so that Expanse game is probably going to be the wokest of the two newer games.
