Now that Lord British has a chance to obtain the Ultima trademark back thanks to US copyright loophole. What's his plan for the series? Pitching Reboot, Remastered collection or another scam?
Who cares? Like all the rest of the 'old guard' he's washed out + cosmic radiation fried his brain.
>>4018199That didn't stop the series like Balder's Gate. The third game was a success.
>>4018203And yet it was shit.
>>4018205>And yet it was shit.
>>4018208
>>4018209What's wrong with it?
>>4018211With the pic or...?
>>4018198This guy is too old to do anything worthwhile already.
>>4018212Hmm, hairy puss. Imagine the smell.>>4018213Tim Cain worked on several projects at Obsidian while making content on Youtube. Why can't Richard Garriott do it?
>UltimaNobody actually wants this.
>>4018198Who cares? He stole everything that made Ultima Ultima from Roe Wade III.
>>4018198I mean if he wants an easy grift all he has to do is get Ultima IX The Unshittened Edition out and people will gargle his nuts. He could actually get away with making it look like ass too because faux-retro sells like hell nowadays.
2026 is his year bros
>>4018198Hopefully Steam ports with achieves
>>4018198Nothing. He just wanted it so he can say he owns it.>>4018215...You just dismissed your own stance with this post.
>>4018203Yeah and it had absolutely nothing to do with the old guard. In fact at the same time the actual BG old guard was creating Veilguard, a terrible game that destroyed their studio
>>4018198The man has talent, there's not doubt about that. However most of his success came from hardware limitations and pushing new boundaries. There's just too much money and tech these days; he will just get distracted trying to accurately simulate deer skinning and shit like that, to the detriment of actual gameplay.
>>4019020True. Just by looking at his catalog of games. Richard didn't bother to adapt the fast-growing gaming industry while his few co-workers and the competitor devs from Interplay moved on.
>>4019020That's if he even has interest in making an Ultima game again. His motto was always "new game, new engine", with the implication of making something that will blow people's minds in at least a few areas. But what is there left to do, as far as technical proficiency goes? No matter what you think of, either it's been done already by some gimmick project. requires hardware-level innovation to implement, or is just the exact same shit every AAA studio is already drooling over (more realism! better lighting! better textures!)I mean yeah, obviously there's the eternal point of "nobody thinks it's possible to make something truly new until another real innovator does it" but... I kind of don't think that's him anymore, or he'd have done it already in all those years. Let's be real, his reputation alone would have given him an opportunity if he had a mindblowing pitch.
>>4018198Just let old franchises die on their high notes man. Fuck Ultima didn't even really end on a high note. When are people going to learn?>you think you do, but you don't
>>4018832Only five people who worked on Baldur's Gate are in the credits for Veilguard, and two of those five are marked as (former) in the credits, so were fired or quit before it was finished.
>>4020457You're really saying that an anon would do that? Just go on the internet and lie like that?
>>4020457Imagine spending half of your life in the fucking game development, the worst sector of IT AND entertainment. What a nightmare.
>>4018198An official Ultima MMO where he can force his previously unrealized crypto scam idea.
>>4018198to remaster Ultima 1 to 7 in an engine as good as Baldurs Gate 3, and I will die a happy man.
>>4018203The difference is that BG1, BG2, and IWD actually aged well. Have you played Ultima VII recently? The combat is horrendous and the story is quite trite.
>>4018203>That didn't stop the series like Balder's Gate. The third game was a success.It had nothing to do with the original creators and it was in no way a spiritual successor to the first games. It was corporate necromancy of a dead IP slapped on an unrelated game.
>>4026908>The difference is that BG1, BG2, and IWD actually aged well.This makes me want to ask how old you are. It's too personal to ask here, I'm just saying they didn't age THAT well into 2026. True though that Ultima is museum stuff. Look but don't touch.
