Random musing

Unread post by Lao Tzume »

I'm playing through the PC game Shadowrun Returns for a second time (It's worth checking out btw. Get it during a Steam sale) and while I'm playing it, I find myself wishing there was a Rifts game like this. It could really work. I wish there was another attempt at creating a Rifts game. I would be in love.

If only.

Right? When I wrote this I was looking for a player made module that was based off Rifts. Or even a mod. No such luck, so far.

I feel like the format it's set up in would work really well for a Rifts based game. That is a Kickstarter I would fund, even after the recent fiasco.

Or, hell, a Rifts game made like Fallout 3/NV.

That would make me even happier.

Just to be clear a Rifts based video game? Yes?

I liked Kingdom of Alumar:Reckoning.

A rifts style game like this would be awesome.
I don't really care for shooter games.

ARE there even any mods for Fallout 3/New Vegas or Skyrim to make those games like Rifts Earth?

Oculus Rift and the Rift MMO make Googling those things a pain. The search continues.

Not sure...but someone should get on that.

Yeah they just need to make sure it is not done on a "cutting edge" technology device and needs to be on a popular system(s) and be converted to as many as possible. Cutting edge in a 32bit console generation shouldn't look like an 8 bit game.
