Actually, that's not quite accurate. The Bard's Tale series isn't getting Bard's Tale IV (which would be a sequel), but rather a new game is being made as a revisitation within the world of Bard's Tale for PS2 and PC. It won't be based on the traditional old school dungeon crawl/exploration/descriptive combat style, unfortunately...but here's to hoping that it'll still be a worthwhile journey! [img]smile.gif[/img]
Also if you read Bungleau's post a bit closer, you'd see that he already implied that another game was being made. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
www.inXile-entertainment.com was the link...
All Bard's Tale fans have Brian Fargo to thank for bringing back the classic name into the RPG market after purchasing the rights to it from EA who had sat on the rights complacently for far too long.
Now, as to some more sequels I'd love to see, well, some agree with other posters, but here goes:
1) Another Ultima Underworld! (pleeeeeease, Mr Garriot, please??!!)
2) Planescape: Torment - The possibilities of what happens to the Nameless One are immense...Or just another adventure within the planes...anything! Just don't take out its beautiful brain!
3) Another Baldur's Gate (Back to the original for non-linearity, but more of the depth of the world/character interaction from II)
3) A greater, more self-reflexive attempt at a Pool of Radiance sequel (Not Ruins of Myth Drannor, that was an absolute insult to the original SSI game!) Actually, make that count for all the great SSI goldbox games!
4) Stonekeep - Shoot me down for liking this game if you may, but its style was rather addictive to me back then...
5) Wizards & Warriors
Another I'd heard a rumour about but haven't read any updates about anywhere, is a possible Eye of the Beholder 4 in the works, anyone inform me further here?
