Isn't it time for more contemporary setting fantasy games?

no

absolutely not

yes, absolutely

why would it be?

>>717173131
something else than what we usually get

fantasy races suck ass. it's time to move on from elves and orcs and dwarves and furry bullshit and blue-skinned bullshit and whatever the fuck have you. it's just so tiresome

>>717171585 (OP)
Kida?

>>717171585 (OP)
Wish some jap devs made a Star Wars RPG

>>717175002

>>717176212

Tranny brownoid, your slop is still 2/10 when will you fucking improve already? There were numerous new better models etc. yet you keep making low quality ugly samey 0 effort shit.

I think Disney made a shitty movie about that concept. Basically, magic is boomer shit nobody uses in favor of technology since you don't have to study on how tech works in order to learn how to use it. I'd rather see something more along the lines of technology being created with magic in mind.

Is there another Shadowrun game on the way? That seems to be the only thing. Unless they ever make a Dresden Files game.

This pic took me back. Time has made these artists lazy and complacent

Really? That would be welcome

give shadowrun to larian and we could have a masterpiece

>>717177518
No it was a question. I don't know if there is. I think the IP rights were fucked for a bit

>>717177118
kind of strange to think it's such an underappreciated genre/setting, every publisher is trying to get women to play their games and women gobble up trashy novels in that setting

>>717177670
the studio that made the games has had back to back omega-flops so I don't think so

>>717171585 (OP)

I'm currently using AI text gen to have an adventure where a Shadowrun-style event transformed a significant percentage of the population in various fantasy races only it's just regular modern day instead of cyberpunk.

>>717176709
Why do your sentences have the syntax of a south american?

>>717171585 (OP)
I agree, person from Larian. It wouldn't be new anyway. Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines was a city setting. It just needs to be replicated with more stuff to do.

>>717171585 (OP)
it's called shadowrun

>>717180868
Shadowrun was Cyberpunk and it's not Fantasy. There's an entirely different option where it's set in our present instead of the future.

I play fantasy games to get away from reality, why would I want it invade them?

>>717180940
>I play fantasy games to get away from reality

The game will be a reality that's better than yours. Like, if you're poor in reality, you can be rich in the game. Isn't that good?

In another universe Max Landis and Will Smith didn't get virtually simultaneously canceled and the Bright sequels were actually made, shoving urban fantasy a little more into the public eye and causing a surge of indie games in the genre.

>>717181113
problem is that bright wasn't good

>>717183853
Doesn't matter. The idea only needs to be in the public eye long enough to inspire others to try their hands at it.

>>717182947
Seeing this image of Shadowheart reminded me that Urban Fantasy has actually been tried in recent times, and it was just done poorly. There was an actual car in this game that you could drive around. I hope the Western attempt is better.

>>717178240
how does that work?

>>717171585 (OP)
>>717173131

made for BWC

>>717184729
Well duh, look at her skin color

>>717177994
What would the plot and gameplay be like that couldn't each be done better in a more cliche fantasy or cyberpunk setting and without risking alienating fans who just want those settings? I think that that's what would give any developer pause

>>717171585 (OP)
No, never. No one ever did anything interesting with the concept.

>>717171585 (OP)
You can't have games that have novel styles because everything has to be generic realism asset store or have no art direction (AI will do it!).

I think we need to upgrade our concepts of fantasy and sci fi.
With sci fi, real world tech is out-pacing our older visions of the future. We have communicators, space travel, robots, and soon genetic modification. We already live in the cyberpunk 1984 brave new world dystopia.

In fantasy, it's kind of like watching re-runs. We still have the same DnD/Tolkien inspired stuff from the 20th century detached from its meaning. What does it really mean to have elves, other than having pretty caucasoids? What does it mean to have orcs, other than having beefy enemies? The internal narrative and representation in these races has been hollowed out so that they are nothing but their symbols.

>>717188936
sure. it's ironic that a genre called fantasy is so stagnant and referential

>>717188891
Great taste

>>717189762
If the previous ideas of fantasy spiritual, philosopical, and social dilemmas manifesting into images of mythology, how could that process be re-used to create a new idea of fantasy?
What struggles and eternal narratives resonate with the modern man?

>>717171585 (OP)
I want another shadowrun game too
