I don´t have a console, and i don`t need one.

Well, we can't give any details about our new game yet,as in really no details at all, but what I can tell you is that we're looking at all platforms, and that the current version is playable both with mouse and controller (with different interfaces).

The controller version brings up all kinds of interesting issues such as how do you do item interaction, skill selection & inventory management, things I haven't really seen done well in existing console games, but then again, I haven't played them all, so I most likely missed things.

We've got something now which looks like it might become interesting, but bright ideas are more than welcome <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Nope... not buying a console of any type.... BUT

Lar_g: while you guys are looking at using controllers too.....

Please make it compatible with programable gaming keyboards...
Ideazon - FangPads and Zboards

As far as i am aware, this is not a difficult procedure, as it only requires one of the developers to send through a list of ideal short-cut keys and what they are used for... the Ideazon team will provide all the utilities to create a downloadable Mod for the keyboards...

Optionally... (ideally from a marketing perspective)
Ideazon brings out custom keyboard layouts (asside from the programable MOD keyboard - which is hot-swop-able) that game developers use to further market the game. I for 1 will be one of the first to buy a Larian-layout keyboad, to make the next RPG a dream to play.

Guildwars - among various other games, Used this majorly to their advantage, by selling the keyboard-kit along with the game, (or was it the other way aroung... buy the keyboard with guildwars set and get the game with... anyways same concept).

Very popular games, that used the Zboard to further promote their game playability

Just something to look at.... at least the MOD...

I own a PS2, but that was a present and I don't intend to get any other console. I find them incredibly limited compared to the PC.

I have a PSOne. There's no plans to get another console, but I might be sold on the Wii. I'll try my brother-in-laws Wii for a while first.

I doubt Wii posseses the graphical abilities, anyway for controllers a quick menu for special actions (left-shoulder-button + analog-stick to choose from 5 actions), playing the game you'll learn the actions by hard and be able to do the action fast with actually looking at the quickmenu.
Rightschoulderbutton would then activate drag-and-drop for items...

Got a PS2 but just can't seem to get on with it or the games, them fiddly thumb controls are so awkward, every character i control looks drunk when i make him walk.
The only game i have completed on the PS2 is MGS3.
Bought The Sopranos this week and played it for about half an hour before saying to my kids..."here you go, you play it"

If they are good ... then why not ? I believe it could be a great addition if they have the negotiation skills that Larian lacked a bit. My intuition says that it is a good thing. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I got a PS2, but my PC stays the primary gaming platform. Probably cause I can upgrade it whenever I want,while with Xbox, PS, etc you have to wait for a new versions.
If i would have the funds, i would buy a PS3 as soon as it's avaible, but at the moment i'm saving for a new PC.
