Square Enix is now in charge of the Dungeon Siege franchise, and this is the first proper sequel to be developed by a studio other than Gas Powered Games. Instead, it’s Obsidian behind this one – the group that brought you Neverwinter Nights 2 – and series creator Chris Taylor will serve as advisor.
It’s looking quite shiny – but with a 2011 release window, there’s a little thing called Diablo 3 to worry about. If you’re a fan of top-down clickfests, consider yourself soon to be spoiled.

Having knocked off Torchlight, I have been rocking some Titan Quest again lately – running easily at full settings, its aged pretty well IMO.

Wednesday, September 8, 2010 at 12:27 PMDidnt anyone watch the trailer? It doesn’t look remotely like a top-down clickfest. This is ‘consolation’ of a most beloved franchise of the most evil kind. I’m hoping I’m wrong but this is looking an awful lot like a button-mash fest in the ninja gaiden tradition to me

Wednesday, September 8, 2010 at 6:06 PMI always liked the Dungeon Seige method of increasing skill in abilities by repeated use of those particular abilities.
It wasn’t perfect, but I hope they maintain that same mechanic somehow, it was a unique way to create your character through gameplay, rather then the stock-standed class selection at the start, which would lock you in to a play style.

Thursday, September 16, 2010 at 11:01 AMI like Dungeon Siege 1 – I hated 2, and this look more like 2.. I mean there some nice effects but graphic and game play is old generation style. There is many amazing 3d graphics new generation games out there. As a gamer with over 10 years exp I don’t think this game will hit hard… Just another for some ppl to try, but unfortunately it will not be a HIT i guaranty.. I was expecting something different, more modern and disappointed looking at trailers and screens. Also I think graphics are too dark – one of those game that will make your eyes tired after playing couple hours…

Thursday, September 16, 2010 at 11:15 AMI think they should just take first game (dungeon siege 1) with all great ideas it had (donkey, extra ppl, a lot of good drops etc) and just apply new modern graphics to it – I would play that any day..
