Pave Low Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 as some of you may know GameSpy selected Vanguard: Saga of Heroes for a "special award" as biggest disappointment of 2007 Vincent "Teclisen" Napoli, one of the designers on Vanguard: Saga of Heroes has posted a forum post accepting the award but the main thing is, he gives a frank ( oh boy not half!) fascinating insight into the background of it's development I'd post it here but the swear filter would knock out parts of it wonder if thats where UBI got their business model for Ravenshield patches... and for [insert name of other recent ubi titles] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Uhm is this a joke, I'd like to know before reading past the 3rd para... Brad Mcquaid didn't do ######. (News Flash?) He's had an opiate addiction for years now, which only got progressively worse as the project failed. His cumulative face time with sigil designers in the most crucial final years of development? Approx: 15 minutes. And some of the time was spent begging for legitimately acquired narcotics (Or in times of desperation, jacking them from people's desk). WTH???!!! Okay I read the whole thing and only have one thing to say. Bo Andersson needs to do the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Why doesn't he? GRIN no longer has an affiliation with Ubisoft do they? And we all know it is not good or healthy to keep things locked up, you gotta let it out. And when you do let it all out, there is absolutely no point in being diplomatic or politically correct, you gotta do it like that guy did, and just tell it how it was. So long as you are telling it how it was, no-one can criticise, and you can only be applauded for setting the record straight and telling it how it is, or was. It's got to be done. I just KNOW there is a story there bursting to get out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krise madsen Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 You know, I'd pay good money for an "Inside GRAW" book. You know, Bob Woodward kinda stuff... It's refreshing to see some blunt honestly once in a while to remind us that devs are people too, warts and all.
