I was just looking through this really good site

and spotted a game called "Devil Whiskey" looks like a really good RPG.

Does look nice.

I wonder if it moves in blocks like bards tale or if you move in some sort of 3d.

Good Point stamar, we'd need to see a demo i reckon, ideally with some enemies in it so we could see how it played, the stills do look great though.

You move around in blocks. You can tell from the screenshots.

Most of it does look 3D though. (Graphically).

The last screenshot has a text message saying "You are facing east" which to me says you are locked in the compas directions. All the other screenshots are locked @ 90 degrees aswell with the player locked in a grid.

Hmm, couldn't you have posted a link to the officiall site instead?

http://www.devilwhiskey.com/

Looks crappy, the graphics looks too be like 5-7 years old. Why waste time and money on this?

Because despite the primitive combat and graphics, Bard's Tale was fun. Nostalgia works.

I don't mind the idea; classic gameplay with updates.

I like eye candy as much as the next guy, but if it has good gameplay/story then the graphics dont really matter.

Ah well, reminds me of the old SSI games, Death Knights of Krynn etc, and the EOB games but looks nicer. I'm going to buy it I reckon.

I enjoy a little retro. I currently have Bards Tale 2, Wasteland, Phantasie 3 on my HD, plus remakes of EOB and Ultima 4 using the NWN engine. Mind you, I'm waiting patiently for Gothic 2 to be released.

High Emperor, eh? I had no idea

What's the NWN Ultima4 like? I never played the originals first time around, and while I too like a bit of retro, the early Ultimas are a bit too retro for me to get into. Wouldn't mind giving the NWN remake a go though, if it's a decent representation of the original.

Devil Whiskey has some nice artwork. The characters seem to have... erm... character which is more than I can say for a lot of games these days. The game does look resolutely old-school though.

Hi Piln, good to see you here. The NWN version of U4 is still a beta I believe, cause it has some BAD bugs in it. However, it is a very faithful representation of the original so it's worth downloading. It's called avatarship. If you can't find it, let me know and I'll find you a link.
