Очередные заморочки с Nwn
Вот,что я вчера вычитал на Gamespydaily:
On Thursday, November 29, 2001, Canadian software developer BioWare Corp. terminated its contract with Interplay Entertainment Corp. to develop its latest computer game, Neverwinter Nights. BioWare announced that, though it has ended its association with Interplay on the project, it is looking forward to releasing Neverwinter Nights on schedule, early in 2002. Development at BioWare is continuing on both Neverwinter Nights and Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic as well as on other as yet unannounced projects.
BioWare had previously filed lawsuits against Interplay, alleging that Interplay has breached contracts with BioWare by sublicensing distribution of BioWare games to third parties without the knowledge or consent of BioWare. BioWare had also joined with Illinois software developer Parallax in a lawsuit against Interplay alleging that Interplay, British Distributor Virgin Interactive, and the French company, Titus Interactive, had failed to pay royalties due BioWare and Parallax games, BioWare is the developer of a number of highly popular and successful award-winning computer games, including Shattered Steel, MDK2 (for the PC, Sega Dreamcast and Sony Playstation 2 platforms), Baldur’s Gate, Baldur’s Gate: Tales of the Sword Coast, Baldur’s Gate II: Shadows of Amn and the recently-released Baldur’s Gate II: Throne of Bhaal.
Интересно,на какие шиши они теперь ее будут доделывать? Из за недостаточного финансирования и так уже четыре раза сдвигали сроки и почти вдвое(до 60 часов)сократили продолжительность игры( по видимому уменьшили количество локаций,квестов и т.п.).Прикроют все таки нашу многострадальную NWN,как пить дать прикороют.Непонятно у кого теперь права на брэнд,кто будет паблишером... и на кой вообще BioWare сдалась эта NWN если у нее в котелке вовсю булькает SW:KotOR- вещица сама по себе денежная,но к тому же открывющая головокружительные перспективы сотрудничества с Лукасом:игры по Ep2,3 ,а в дальнейшем возможно эпическая серия "официальных" RPG по всему сериалу.
