Ok well I was away from the 'net since last Tuesday and I'm sorry if I
didn't respond to a particular thread, but there's just too much to keep up
with so I'm just going to "catch up" the group and start fresh. Hopefully I
didn't miss anything too exciting. :)

Not much of interest. Baldur's Gate III was launched in a special
surprise announcement, and Bethesda put out a press release saying that
they'd reconsidered the direction of Fallout III and rehired all the old
Black Isle staff to make a sequel more in the spirit of the originals.

Wow. This Troll did his homework. What he wrote pretty much sums
up the hopes and dreams of this NG's subscribers. Bravo,
sir. Bravo.

Pffft, get real. He said nothing about Lord British making a real Ultima
X or Blue Sky/Looking Glass working on Ultima Underworld 3.

I'd think it would be the Torment 2 release that you missed that would
be of the most concern...

What? How can it be a dream come true when he didn't mention Chris
Avellone being brought in as project leader to do Planescape: Torment
2, with a budget of $45M over three years, and free reins wrt artistic
content?

Wow! We were in the wrong biz ;-). Although...that's $15million/year.
Not quite 100 people. Can one do a game in this day and age
with less than 100 staff (that must include all infrastructure
support people, too). I don't think you can. So after thinking
about it $15million isn't very much for a complete proeject.

He meant 45M per person. Obviously.

For some odd reason, I mentally smushed the two together and came up
with Planescape: Underworld.

Hey, planescape does go _everywhere_ doesn't it?

$45M/3 years would be a really big game: that's what Fable cost to
make. Half-Life 2 cost $25M, Doom3 $10M -well, so I'm told anyway- but
PS:T 2 should be a MMORPG, so production values are important.

Hey, it's my dream!
