Obsidian Entertainment seeks Kickstarter funding?
Published Monday, Feb 13 2012, 16:38 GMT | By Liam Martin | 2 comments
Fallout: New Vegas developer Obsidian Entertainment has asked fans what project they'd like to fund on Kickstarter.
The request comes the week after Double Fine set new records on Kickstarter with its Double Fine Adventure project.
"All of Double Fine's success from Kickstarter has been inspiring," writes Obsidian Entertainment's Chris Avellone on the firm's official forum.
"I GUESS PEOPLE LOVE THOSE CLASSIC ADVENTURE GAMES AFTER ALL.
"The idea of player-supported funding is... well, it's proof certain genres aren't dead and sequels may have more legs than they seem. And the idea of not having to argue that with a publisher is appealing.
"Out of curiosity, if Obsidian did Kickstart a project, what would you want to see funded?"
Most responses have been in favour of an old-school Obsidian role-playing game in the same vein as Avellone-designed release Planescape Torment.
Obsidian Entertainment's next release will be South Park: The Game, which is due to launch later this year on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
