"creative values"

i'm pretty sure Bethesda's "creative values" include "only make games that are fun when you horribly break them" and "really extremely awkward dialogue"

Good god, what else is Zenimax hoping to destroy? Arx Fatalis was a game made in homage to one of the greats, the Ultima Underworld series...the rival to Elder Scrolls back in the day, although I don't know if you could call it a true rival because UW and UW2 wiped the floor on every aspect of gameplay with Elder Scrolls.

Arx Fatalis 2 coming to Xbox 360 and PS3!

With such key words as,

Accessible!
New audience!
Achievements!
Controller!

Beastrn, please don't ruin my day.

I liked how Arx Fatalis was back on the PC. Sure, the controls were a b*tch and sometimes combat could be awkward, but it felt so different compared to what we have on the market today and added a new layer that actually improved the game as a whole.

Ultimately, if that is the case, it will happen. I'm more inclined that they work on a new IP instead of "streamlining" a sequel.

The Xbox version wasn't bad, but the game was harder to control and looked like ass. I should know, I played the shit out of it on the good ol' black box.

I'd love an Arx 2. That game had atmosphere to rival Thief. But honestly, I'd love just about any new 1st person RPG at this point.

Isn't that the game that once you figure out the life down spell devolves into chasing everything around the dungeon like a fantasy themed Benny Hill?

Arkane was supposed to develop The Crossing made on Valve's Source engine. A video here:

The game was attempting to do a single player/multiplayer hybrid. Imagine playing campaign mode on singleplayer when all of a sudden, some guys online take control of the enemies and started pwning you. Yeah, it sounded awesome back in 2007 and had the media excited about it. They even demoed it at Valve. Nothing was heard from them ever since till now.

Part of me has qualms about this. Zenimax is becoming the Western version of Square Enix and while that means more resources for companies to develop their games it also means catering to the lowest common denominator.

Don't get me wrong. Average is great and all, but when it comes to console games that already can't be modded to be more complex like their PC counterparts, you end up with games that are endlessly easy and just lacking heart.

But even looking back on Elder Scrolls, Oblivion might have been more accessible, but it's every bit as clunky as my beloved Morrowind - though Morrowind at least had a beautiful varied world, more freedom and a much better story. Of course, modded to hell on my computer it's hard to seperate the modded and the unmodded game from each other now...

So what I'm essentially saying is that Elder Scrolls was always clunky and so just like how id Software is still id Software, we shouldn't suddenly think that Arkane will be different now, too.
