Atari announced that Patrick Stewart, Captain Picard of Star Trek and Professor X of X-Men, and Michael Clarke Duncan (Daredevil, The Green Mile) have signed on for major voice roles in the upcoming Dungeons & Dragons-based video game Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone. Fantasy author R.A. Salvatore has also been tapped to write the storyline for the game, which will include the character of Drizzt Do'Urden from the author's popular Dark Elf trilogy.

According to Atari, Stewart will play Khelban "Blackstaff" Aunsun, "a wizard of legendary power and wisdom," while Duncan has been cast as he evil Slaad Lord Ygorl, the game's main villain. Demon Stone will be developed by Stormfront Studios, creators of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. The game will allow players to control a fighter, a sorcerer and a rogue while fighting a wide range of fantasy creatures in the Forgotten Realms universe. It is due out for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox this fall.

Mixed feelings about this, looks like a great storyline but I hope they don't use the same piece of crap engine as for the LOTR games, if they don't I hope they release it on PC [img]smile.gif[/img]

Released by Atari? It's sure to suck then!

On PS2 and Xbox? Smells of hack'n'slash, gore fest if you ask me.

Ditto.

wow... you guys ooze optimism... [img]smile.gif[/img]

its because they ruined so many new games that we have a negative feeling now.

You want to see why everyone thinks Atari = sucks, go by Temple of Elemental Evil. ;) That forum lasted what, three months?

i thought toee was ok.

I posted this a while back, but DIDN'T know Patrick was doing voices!! Cool.. He did Lands of Lore if oldschoolers remember.. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Atari is PUBLISHING it guys.. they published NWN too, and it's fun!

BUT... Stormfront Studios DID make Pools of Radiance II.. and THAT sucked. So who knows... I'll not bash it until I have PLAYED it. Sounds like they are going all out on this title. About time.. I hope they don't rush a release, and as usual its buggy. POLISH the game, and it'll be worth it!!!
