Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land?

Nydlari · 12-14-2001, 01:54 PM

I was searching Amazon to see if Wiz 8 was shipping yet, and came across another game called Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land; while it isn't published by Sirtech (it's a company called Atlus) the game name uses Wizardry's name with sword, and the game description sounds like one of the early Wiz games I think 3 or 4, but the screenshots had better graphics. Did Sir-Tech release the rights to one of it's older games to have it remade? Or is some other company ripping them off?

It's Wizardry for the PS2... different than any other games of Wizardry, as I understand it. Not sure how it fits in.

Well the release date is Jan 15. It might be something to pass the time, awaiting for Morrowwind and Might & Magic

Well, Final Fantasy X is coming out next week, so no time for anything else. But i might consider that one in a month or two.

I just hope M&M IX is better than the last 3, I've realy haven't liked them since NWC sold the rights out to 3DO. Xeen was fantastic, but 6-8 (especialy 8) were realy bad.

Then again, once Morrowwind is out, I may never need another game. It's so fantastic that they're going to release the construction set along with the game. I don't know which I'll spend more time on; playing the game or designing games.
