squirrel46921 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 I think it would be great if spiderweb could team together maybe with microsoft and create geneforge series +5 for the x box or x box 360. i would definitely be buying these games if it were for x box. im sure many more ppl would also buy them for x box. and other game systems if possible. leave reponses so i know what you guyz think about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakon Sssharxx Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Games that are created for the X-box require a hell of a lot of work (and even more for x-box 360). The graphics alone would take a team of about 10 artists and graphic designers. Also the algorithams for 3D games and extreemly long and complex and take a further team of scripters. You also need to add in all of the 'if A happens than B also happens' for numerous different scenarios. Further the various special effects would be big due to the very nature of the game, magic and shapeing have to look cool right? Which brings me to the problem that 3D AI iis also very complex. Although yes it would be cool, It is beyond a small independant games developer like spiderweb. Apologies for spoiling your fantasy but I believe that games do not need flashy graphics and amazeing special effects to be a great game and spiderweb continues to prove that. In my oppinion Geneforge is ten times the game that most games developed for gameing platforms like Microsoft's X-box or Sony's Playstation. P.S. Welcome to the boards Squirrel.

Randomizer Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Jeff did once mention years ago that he looked at the X box system. The fact that he hasn't made a game for it means that it wasn't worth his time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mystic Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I once had a grandiose plan to port the Exile trilogy and BoE to my Palm. It fell through because I lacked the time, knowledge, and insanity to actually do it.

A teaming of Spiderweb and Microsoft would be analogous to making a milkshake with grapefruit juice and chocolate ice cream. Originally Posted By: Drakon Sssharxx I believe that games do not need flashy graphics and amazeing special effects to be a great game Agreed. I'd rather play a game with so-so graphics and a great plot than a game with awesome graphics and a so-so plot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganduv Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Well, all I have to say is that Oblivion: The Elder Scrolls and Fallout 3 were both great successes. But I agree with Mystic since I prefer playing these games more than some xbox 360 games. I couldn't get into the Avernum story though because... well I just felt if there is no actual movement motions like in Geneforge then it wasn't worth the money.
