>Richard is poor now.>nobody is stupid enough to loan him any money to make the next Ultima game.so he got the rights back. is his masterplan now to fund it with Kickstarter like Star Citizen, make a few hundred million and then disappear into the Underworld?
I don't think Ultima has the name power to get anywhere these days. Maybe if he pitched an online game, but UO was made by EA, not him.
Underworld 3, plz God
did he sell his castle
>>4107053kinda gay that a lot of old devs made their nut and spent the rest of their careers teasing their fans with nostalgia
>>4107311Arx Fatalis.and he already made an Underworld sequel of sorts and it was bad?
>>4107365sold it ages ago. the castle already got demolished soon after the place was sold off. i think it's still empty clay
>>4107365he's back living at home with his mom and dad, in the basement where the magic all began.
>>4107053I want him to hire Warren Spector and make Worlds of Ultima 3 and Ultima Underworld 3.
>>4108798Basement. In Houston Tx. Ok, anon…
>>4109099HOUSTON!Jump on it! Jump on it! Jump on it!
>>4109077Wouldn't Spector be retired at this point? I agree that Richard needs someone like Warren to actually head something, but Akalabeth was 47 years ago, and Ultima saw its heyday 35-ish years ago. The only people I know that are still active are Richard and Chris Roberts, and I don't want to see Chris involved in another forever-project.
>>4107053Ultima was so great when it came out.
>>4109530He can come out of retirement to work on something good again. I thought he was still active, though. Just not making anything good.
It is time broshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35SKawn2SDI
>>4110369Hell yeah. It shouldn't be long until mr edders 123 drops his pool of radiance video either.
Kenneth W. Arnold is still alive, and is critical to the Ultima experience. God Tier composer
>>4107053>so he got the rights backHe didn't
>>4112061I thought he gets rights to everything back except the Ultima name?
>>4111184i don't think music was ever the problem with Ultima games. or their modern not-sequels
>>4107053Make Ultima a Zelda competitor again
Never got into this series (not my fault they released an atrocious SNES port that I came across in a romset. Shouldn't release something that bad if you want me to play your series), but I find it fascinating that it was a very early example of ditching the true RPG genre and the genre's fans in an effort to sell action games to the normalfag cohort. For most crpgs, this happened in the 2000s, but Ultima was doing it back in the 90s.
>>4107504>the castle already got demolished soon after the place was sold off.why do white people always destroy they own buildings to put a strip mall in place lol
>>4107053he already did that with shroud of the avatar. huge scam
>>4119084Tip top b8 m8
>>4119084what
>>4121230He is probably referring to the Ultima IX fiasco.
>>4127985Except he distinctly mentioned the SNES port of Ultima. Only retarded faggots play console ports of crpgs.
>>4119072GB edition of Ultima Runes of Virtue was that.
>>4121230try the console version of Ultima 7 and find out.Divine Divinity did realtime non-party "Ultima" better. and they were just trying to copy Diablo 2.
>>4128849>this whole postAnother retarded tripfag fishing for (you)s. Kill yourself.
>>4107366A lot of the old devs were indie guys, not corporate entities like Capcom, Konami, Nintendo, or SEGA. There were a few like EA, Microprose, and Atari, but they either became corrupt as fuck and turned strictly to publishing, or fell apart.RIP Sierra, you my nigga.
>>4128907they keep promising us a time machine back to when they were hungry and spirited indie guys who gave a damn.Garriott's been into space like his dad; I don't know what carrots are left for him anymore to motivate him to make the next Ultima Online 2 that's miraculously better than the UO experience was (Nostalgia+)
>>4107311Garriott didn't have much to do with Underworld. It started as a completely unrelated game project that somehow got to use the Ultima trademark.
>>4107311>>4128967Ironically, the best "Ultima" game wasn't even made by Richard
>>4110369>4.5 hours
>>4127996the DOS version of VI was excellent;very fond memories of it
>>4129168indeed
