Gamespot have joined the stampede to Brian Fargo's door, today posting an interview with the industry veteran about the formation of InXile and of course, Bard's Tale. Here's an excerpt:GS: Can you briefly describe the gameplay direction that the new project is taking?
BF: In looking at the market we saw what we perceived as a lack of intelligent, nonlinear, deep, witty, non-cliché RPGs for the console systems. These very attributes are what has made some of the great PC RPGs. We saw no reason we could not take those sensibilities over to console and give them a sense of why some classic PC RPGs are so well revered today. And we believed we could create a compelling PC game at the same time for all the same reasons. |
