Turn-based CRPG talk

Re: [IMPORTANT] A campaign to get the official tools released

Well, I have been following a very nice looking turn based D&D game for the PSP called "D&D Tactics"

That's a bit of a misnomer, really...since the "tactics" was slapped onto it in order to appeal to console strategy fans and lovers of Final Fantasy tactics. In truth, it is just a turn based, tile based 3rd Edition D&D RPG with an engine that looks remarkably similar to ToEE.

There are several in-game demos of this on the interwebs, so a quick google search should turn up quite a bit.

Yes, I know the PSP isn't exactly the last bastion of RPG gaming or anything, but hey, I'm a hardcore turnbased NERD, so I'll take it wherever I can get it. elvicthr

 

Re: [IMPORTANT] A campaign to get the official tools released

I had seen D & D Tactics some time ago and thought it looked promising. Only problem is its on PSP. In my previous post, I was thinking strictly PC gaming, as its the only platform I game on. Who knows though, maybe if D & D Tactics is good enough I'll pick up a PSP and a copy. Just not sure a game for a handheld can scratch that TB itch like a game developed for a PC can.

I hear you there bob, but keep in mind, they won't make turn based games for us anymore. It just isn't happening. I am the absolute BIGGEST and most biased pro-PC, anti-console guy in the known universes, and there is no way that even *I* would miss out on something like that.

You know, I was on the Fallout 3 boards, fighting the doofus' (Or is it Doofi?) who foolishly think FO3 should be a real time game, and I still have residual anger left after that argument. I really, really need turn-based combat in my RPGs. Or I get homicidal. :wyatt:

Ahhh well, just know that even a hardcore PC lover/fanboy like me wants it, so maybe you should loosen up on the self-imposed restrictions! :hug:

@Nadril, hey bro.

@Zombiemonk: It's not a Fallout thread. ;P But I think that the best way would be to
use fallout tactics system. It let you have two in one. Everyone will be happy.
And I hope you voted yes.

 

Re: [IMPORTANT] A campaign to get the official tools released

I can't remember back that far when I posted in this thread way back then, but I more then likely did vote yes. I might have voted no, simply because I didn't want you guys attracting the ire of Atari and getting slapped with a lawsuit.

ToEE is my lifeblood. I download each fix, try out each mod, and play it religiously. I believe I've gone through Toee at least 30 times in the past 3 years. I've become so good at it that it only takes me a week anymore. Just forge some ice/holy weapons, grind a bit, make a run for the boss (skip the nodes) Bam...end

Don't see me here much though, since I'm fairly good with the search function, so when I had problems with belsornig, or the Juggernaut spawn, or (ect...) I simply searched for it rather then post.

But yes, I feel an SDK should be released. It always saddened me to see that the Infinity engine didn't get that treatment. Still, I've downloaded countless BG2 mods for it. As well as creating a couple for my own private use

I'd help you guys with KotB, but I highly doubt you'd trust a stranger, regardless of skill or experience. Especially a dirty lurker. :ninja:

 

Isn't there a program to let you run PSP games on your pc? In the "Post your desktop" thread I coulda swore I saw an icon for PSP on someone's desktop.

 

That would be an PSP emulator of some kind.

 

it looked like a playstation emulator - I've got one somewhere on my PC.

 

Cujo:
Could you recommend a good emulator?

I think I found one, with install instructions also. For those interested, link below.

no I couldn't, I didn't look into anything about the one I've got, I don't even know who made it - it was just there so I took it. It does everything that I need it to do which is play my playstation game when I don't own a playstation (btw I won the game in a wager - "if this game works again, even just once, its mine." (the disc had a dirty big scratch in it and often wouldn't run)).
