I heard Black Isle studios is back and Justin Bieber is in charge. Oh man, this will be so good. Just like back then.

Seriously, I wouldn't get my panties all wet just because of a name/brand. Nope, not in these times.

Pointless since most of Black Isle's former talent is already working at other studios. This must be some cash grab scheme playing on people's nostalgia.

Oh well. Then it's just a pretty desperate act to attract attention since only the name is left.

I don't think anything good can come out of this one. Laughing

Well, all original staff is elsewhere (mostly Obsidian if I recall correctly) so I doubt anything good will come from this.

it's a bit cheating respawning a company with the same name
but hey, even the same companies go bad
remember when all the big companies that make shit today made awesome games in early 2000s or 90's?
