Exult Forum

For those of you that haven't heard about this ambitious project yet, I found a link to a brand new Ultima remake while reading the forums at the Redemption http://www.ultima.ukpcnet.co.uk team's website.

Here's the post:

am pleased to announce first here on whatever board this is, an all new project that started from humble beginnings...

"UltimarX 10 : The Legend of the Warriors False Gate Isle" which was originally entitled "UltimarX 10 : The tales of Enus" covers the story after UA. It provides a more fitting ending to the saga we so dearly loved. I invite all of you to come and visit the team's site..

But you did not give the actual link. We have to visit the redemption forum just to get the link.

This remake is so damn promising, you have to look at it yourself!

Ehh.. what is this a remake of??

From the description it sounds more like a fan-fic sequal than a remake of any of the original Ultima games...

*grins*
Apologies for just linking to the Redemption forum - the link is, Gradilla Dragon stated, at http://www.geocities.com/ultimarx10 - seems to have had a lot of work put it into it - I'm sure a lot of dialogue writers could benefit from Christine Indigo's Avatar pieces.

Sounds like a spoof.

Considering that:

1. All the picks are things readily found all over the internet or easily created. I.E. the pick for one of the staff is from Revenge of the Nerds if i'm not mistake, and the fact that the guardian concept pick is the Kool Aid dude.

2. I think paris Hilton would charge too much for them to have her in an FMV sequence

3. Every Page is listed as a Winamp Playlist

and
4. The guy wants to Code a project that big all by himself (granted i know there are some coders out there who would, but most have enough sense to have at least one more person on this scale)

This is definately a spoof. And i'm sure more reasons can be pointed out.
If I turn out to be wrong on this conclusion I will eat a finaly chopped up edition of a printout of their manual.

Also 1 more point, if RG was actually helping at all on another Ultima Game it would be much bigger news

Duh!

Of course it is a spoof! It is just an humorous page!!

Hello and thanks for taking interest in our project, UltimarX10 : The Warriors of False Gate Isle.

I realize that with the many remakes out, few doubt the veracity of our project. Please be sure to eat your words when it comes out.

P.S. - The reason there has been no news on Richard Garriott joining our group is because of his nondisclosure agreement with EA (Who currently owns the Ultima brand.) If he came forward with working on this project he would be inevitably sued.

I must have stupid written on my head.

StingraY, you can't remake something that's not made before.

Your project is technically a fan-fic sequal, if it's not itself fiction d-:

GO ULTIMARX!
Need any dialogue writers? =)

Had a good laugh with this so-called "remake"... I particularly liked the ridiculous new bearded Avatar, whose picture was "coded" by LB (pictures are now coded, it seems)...

Oh, and the new baddies sure are scary! Lord Saddamthorne indeed...

The pics of the team members are so hilarious too.

The reason there has been no news on Richard Garriott joining our group is because of his nondisclosure agreement with EA (Who currently owns the Ultima brand.) If he came forward with working on this project he would be inevitably sued.

If that was true, then congratulations, you have just got him in big trouble by saying that. :p

ROTFLMAO
The picture of the guardian looks like a space hopper with legs

This made my morning, thankyou very much!

The villain looks as though he's playing guitar in the Dire Straits video Money for Nothing

beating a dead horse... Well, as far as was known, there was no non-disclosure agreement (and it wouldn't make much sense anyway) but a non-competing agreement (or how that was called) which made LB lay low for two years until it ran out. After that he began looking for work again (see Tabula Rasa stuff for details).

I always knew the KoolAid jug was of an evil nature ... but the guardian... *scratches head* ... scary ...

Avatar!
OOhh Yeah!

Great stuff! Very funny

I beta tested it. It's going to absolutely amazing!

You did not betatest it, sir! We have not yet released a beta, public or private, mostly since Richard Garriott is a slacker and takes too long in coding all the NPC portraits. Also, Sol locked himself in the janitor's closet a week ago and hasn't come out since - sometimes we hear some kind of gnawing noise from inside, but that may just be him trying to get his shackles off.

But fear not! The project proceeds right on schedule!

I stole the source code for UltimarX 10, just as I stole the source for Exult!
