Richard Garriott Speaks On The Importance Of Indie Games »

Since he’s not busy launching himself into space (again), legendary game designer Richard Garriott spent some time with G4tv to discuss the importance of independent game development and promote the Indie Game Challenge. In addition to being one of the driving forces behind the Ultima series, Garriott is one of 12 game makers to be inducted into the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences hall of fame. Despite his huge status in the gaming business, Garriott still has a soft spot for indie development and sees it as an important source of innovation for the entire industry. Be sure to watch the full interview to hear Lord British’s thoughts on indie games.

Sadly, I think that somehow Origin lost the rights to Ultima, or Richard lost Origin, or something like that. I think if you want another Ultima game you have to go talk to EA or something... =(

Awesome video! Go Lord British!

And they just played the MMO XPlay from 2007 featuring the review of Tabula Rasa with a score of 4 out of 5... And Adam Sessler even went so far to call it a good game... I miss his handiwork, hopefully he will release another great IP sometime that learned from the mistakes of TR...

Mr. Garriott should stop talking about independent games and start working on the next Ultima.

I'm on board with Hrolf; I miss the old Ultima games.
