leonard is working in blizzard on diablo3, maybe he'll convince them to make arcanum 2, it would be like a starcraft and warcraft combined but maybe not the actual arcanum universe, and i bet it would be mmo... right, who's also up for the task... bethesda? meh! square enix? campy! bioware? speaking of which, cd-project might be up for the task (the guys who made the awesome witcher?)
I think,we will necer see Arcanum 2,Troika games is dead,and people forgot about Arcanum,but if somebody could make s sequel,this MUST BE NOT BETHESDA!
Beth making an Arcanum 2 would still be better than having no Arcanum 2 at all... But yes, there is no way they could make a game better than the original. But it would still be decent I think.
Beth ruined Fallout already. Why do you hate good RPG's so much you want them to ruin Arcanum too? And hey, why not beg them to make a sequal to PST too!
they just don't make em like they used to...this game had an awesome soundtrack, and its dialogue was ahead of its time. Everything about it was cool, I wonder why no one made a game even remotely like this...
Oblivion is a dick sucking game. Arcanum is the best game ever made and is the best game that can be made!!!! If bethesda softworks made an Arcanum 2 I would sue everyone in bethesda softworks
Oh well, let me re-phrase that. Oblivion and F3 are awful games that ruined their franchises and only an idiot or someone who doesn't know better could write what you wrote. Which one are you?
I'd call you an idiot for trying to start on argument on the internet. It's an opinion, and I presented my own. Anyone who doesn't agree with my opinion can suck it up, and not insult it. That should be easy if we all act like adults. I find it disturbing that I'm 14, and still more mature than you. And you're from the UK, too! You should act more mature than an American!
They're just games. This'd make sense if it were politics, but it's just games. Grow up. Don't bother responding again, because I'm obviously more mature than someone twice my age, and that's just pathetic. My autistic brother and my 11-year-old brother are more mature than you. It's really sad. I pity you.
If that makes you sleep at night mate, go ahead feeling "mature" with your autistic brother. Why not replay Fable while you're at it? I hear it's a great game for such mature gentlemen, what with the ability to fart every time you want.
@verystrangegeorge Because it's 9 years old. Why did they remake Serious Sam? Because it's old. Graphics have changed. That's why. Imagine Arcanum in TESIV graphics.
@swordfish1986 Dude, seriously? That comment is a year old, and you respond to it with a poorly thought-out argument that just seems like a bad attempt at trolling, all the while assuming that you're right because you're you?
Clueless guy is clueless. Listing points here is a fucking waste of my time, if you not even realized yourself, why Beth Games are shit and what is the difference between Fallout/Arcanum and Fallout 3/TES.
I can remember trying to get this game to work on my Pentium 3 :P now that I have a 3ghz Celeron D, it is happy the way it is now :) I love this game! Different then most games made :)
A nice trailer for the game of the century ( in my opinion).
This is one of few games which actually has some sort of aesthetics.
This is without doubt the best Rpg ever made, despite it's lacks.
If Troika Games will be reformed one day, then please Tim Cain : Make a Arcanum 2 but take your time with it and dont make it like Fallout 3.
It was a game where it wasnt just about making money. The people who made this game were artists. This also includes Ben Houge, who composed the music for it.
Oblivion is shallow with an empty, soulless world and a trivial story set in standard fantasy land, while Arcanum is set in a creative world where Dwarves started the Industrial Revolution, and where most of the characters actually have depth. Oblivion was a game created for the sole purpose of making money, Arcanum was a game into which the developers actually put some thought.
Someone should make High Definition version of the game. Graphics would become pretty decent and this would make more people play the game and discover the true nature of perfect RPG games.
@JarlFrank Which is why Arcanum failed in comparison - people don't want to think. Not that Oblivion wasn't a really fun game, it's just that Arcanum was the awesoommmeeest.
@RevengeVirus they're probably just saying that you can give your elf character a gun and pointed it out 'cause hardly any other rpg before it ever considered the idea
Best RPG ever, no doubt. If it could be remade to be slightly less glitchy and slightly more voiced it'd be the god of all games. (Although it'd be nice to have a LITTLE customisation in character sprites though...)
