Q4?!

Do you hear that? That is the sound of the earth opening up and swallowing the Ultima X development team

The last (and first) tidbit I saw of Ultima X was a vague photo taken at E3 (I think) of a screen showing the letters ""Ultima X - Resurrection"".

They say true evil never dies - it simply waits for a sequel. Maybe it also holds true for a ""sequel-of-a-sequel""?

unless they (Dev Team and EA combined) have pulled off another Valve and have stealth developed this project for that long to actually ship in <6 months I''d be shocked if this was anything for real.

Ultima fans are rabid...they''d have some info by now.

It''s real, I play tested it well over 6 months ago. No more details because of NDA but it looked and played..interestingly.

Edit: Having said that, the one I played actually looked more like a MMORPG than a stand alone, so we shall see.

As I read your post I went through several emotions.

1. It''s real? cool! awesome!
2. Its a MMORPG? By EA? ahh crap.

In any case..pesky NDA''s

Eh... I think most of us are still waiting for Ultima IX to be fixed

It''s amazing but I still can''t play it at a decent framerate with an AthlonXP1500+, 512Ram and a Geforce 4600.

hehe..Glide baby! its all about Glide! That game ran better on my dual SLI Voodoo 2''s than it did on my Geforce 3 at the time of release... and its probably not much better now.

I was just about to ask if I could finally play IX...I have a 2700+, 512 Ram, and a 4200 TI 128 meg...but I''m not feeling good about it after reading your post, Mex...

No, I wouldn''t hope for much, 47

Must be that Glide thing. It doesn''t seem to make a difference whether I''m in 640x480 or in 1024x768.

Damn. I wonder if it would be worth the trouble to install my Voodoo 4500 back in this machine? Eh, probably not...

I can run it just fine on my

GF 5900 Ultra, 1gig ram, P4 2800 machine...the game is really good if you patch it and can ignore what they didn''t fix.

I''m an Ultima whore though...

I miss Ultima Underworld. Wish they''d make a true sequel to Underworld 2. That game was incredible - one of the best 1st person RPGs I''ve ever had the pleasure of playing

I know Arx Fatalis is supposed to be quite good, so maybe I''ll pick that up to console myself.
