I dunno if I'd bother with Obsidian considering my shithouse experience with FO:NV...
I don't mind kicking in for small companies who haven't really 'made it' yet and who come up with a novel idea, but the idea of throwing money at established companies to make sequels of games that were actually great and which should be justified in their own right seems a bit bass ackwards to me...
Particularly when you factor in consolisation and dumbing down of most modern games. |

If companies are going to hit kickstart
Seems like we need some rules laid out.
1. No Freaking DRM bullshit if your project is funded
2. Patches are required
3. if it's for to be for a console it must be disclosed so I won't fund a piece of console crap.
Anyone else have a list of demands if you're going to throw money at an unseen - un-reviewed - un-created product aka ultimate - pre-purchase?
Amen to your rules, but IS it a pre-purchase? I wasn't under the impression that paying to the kickstart project gave you a copy once said game was finished?

I'm down with all that. |

With all this kickstart crap where's Will Wright and Warren Spector?
A project with either of their names on it would certainly have a better chance of success than something Obsidian would do most likely. It's still extremely early though- I doubt we'll be hearing from people of their stature anytime soon. |

| If they are going the "spiritual successor" route, I'd vote for "Tormented Scapeplane". 50 bucks from me, and another 50 at launch time. Gotta be PC only and a REAL PC game though; no console concessions allowed. |

What do they have besides Alpha Protocol that is their own IP?
Although I wouldn't mind an Alpha Protocol sequel... I'd love to see them do a Vampire Masquerade RPG... especially if they picked up some ex-trokia devs along the way.
About Troika - Tim Cain is now w/ Obsidian.
About AP - Sega owns Alpha Protocol IP, currently.

| To be fair, while Fallout New Vegas was good, Obsidian's track record is 'meh' at best. |

They can make a similar game without using the license. Saying "Torment 2" is just a quick way to get across what you're talking about.
I kept hoping Volition would do the same thing with SpreeFace and the evil Ghivans, but it never happened.

Yeah, people keep mentioned a Planescape followup, but wouldn't they have to license that?
I'd gladly give them $30 too, provided they support the damn thing post launch. New Vegas was a step in the right direction, but some of their previous products seemed like a cut and run.
