Is Lionheart a Diablo clone?

Post by Saint_Proverbius »

<strong>[ -> N/A]</strong>

There's another nifty thread where <b>Cabal</b>, the nice writer guy from <a href="http://reflexive.net/">Reflexive</a>, is asked bluntly, <a href="http://feedback.blackisle.com/forums/sh ... =41275">is Lionheart a diablo clone?</a> Here's the reply:<br><br><blockquote>Did you catch the blurb about the deep storyline?<br><br>We've been pretty open that the game has combat and action, but I've also gone to lengths to explain that we're adding in many quests, factions, historical story elements and interesting characters and other features to balance the combat.<br><br>I'm going to continue to try to impress that the game is not a Fallout sequel and it's not a Diablo clone. We're endeavoring to make a new and unique game with the Special system called Lionheart.

<br><br></blockquote>There you have it. You can read the full thing <a href="http://feedback.blackisle.com/forums/sh ... <br><br>On a side note, it's funny how the <b>Infinity Engine fanboys</b> used to bitch fans of <a href="http://www.interplay.com/fallout/">Fallout</a> out for wanting <A href="http://www.blackisle.com/">BIS</a> to make more games like <a href="http://www.interplay.com/fallout/">Fallout</a>, but now that <a href="http://www.blackisle.com/">BIS</a> has <i>one</i> game in production that <i>isn't</i> like the BG/IWD/etc. ilk, they all want it to be like the Infinity Engine games. That's just funny.<br><br>Anyone want to lay odds on <a href="http://www.blackisle.com/">BIS</a> caving under pressure and making <a href="http://lionheart.blackisle.com/">Lionheart</a> more like the Infinity Engine before it ships?

My single trip to the Lionheart forum.

Remember a long list of topics, AND they seemed to be discussing ADDING stuff.

8 months in developement and what 7 or 8 to go?

Isn't it a bit late?

I had enough fun with BG DA, for what it was. It is rentable! It was fun to play with kids, after being whooped at Madden Football. (Madden Football works right out of the box on the PS-2, it didn't work on my PC's,
need P-4[?], sweet....)

The long streaming pissing match with I'play and BIS, has worn out the "care" part of my left hemisphere, or is it on the right? I can't find it right now, so I can't tell you.

"Care" to know when I find it?

What I think is even more hypocritical is that half of these fanboys criticise us for wanting Fallout to be like Fallout instead of Baldur's Gate.

I knew there was something about you I liked. :twisted:

Agreed. Things like this are why I don't care much for the IE/BIS fan boys.
