Leroux: Oh, so it's supposed to be the last part of the series? :(

Enebias: As a Blackwell fan, I think it's better this way. While it's indeed a bit sad to know this game will be the last, at least it will provide closure to a saga (now sue me, candy man!) I loved from the beginning to the end. Many game series don't know when to stop and eventually lose value, so I prefer them to be short but rewarding as this one proved to be until now.
Usually I'd agree, somehow I just don't feel this series is ripe for closure yet. Maybe because the fourth episode suddenly started to hint at greater secrets behind it all and it seems rushed to unravel them in a single episode and then end the series for good. But then again, I haven't even had the chance to play Epiphany, of course, so I shouldn't judge. In the end it all comes down to how it's done, if the way the series gets closure feels satisfying or too abrupt.

Guess we'll see in a couple of months! Dave Gilbert said that Epiphany will be the longest and darkest game in the series, so I belive there will be plenty of time to leave no loose ends. Really, after the first four episodes, I would be very surprised to see something sub-par.

I am hoping the next series, if it will be a series, will be more of a sci-fi bent like Gemini Rue or Primordia or Resonance.

Still have to play the others first, but looking good.

You can say that again! All of those games were absolutely awesome!
Besides, I am a fanatic of robots and Cyberpunk, so more of them is always welcomed, especially if they come with the excellent Wadjet Eye quality! :)

Gemini Rue was refreshing atmosphere-wise as I am sort of a fan (not a HUGE OMG-I-live-and-breathe-this-stuff fan :) ) of noir themes in games and it was nice to see that in GR, especially with the rain all over the place and the overall feel of the game.

Well, I hope to learn who Tomo is.

Well, that would require Dave Gilbert being just as interested in telling such sci-fi stories as the authors of the above. Who knows, maybe he is. But I'd rather have him come up with something that he's passionate about himself and not just cater to the fans' preferences. :)

Theta_Sigma: I am sad to see it end, I love the Blackwell series. I really am anxious to see HOW it ends though. I should re-download the Blackwell Bundle and play through the first 4 games before April.
Ditto.
It'll be sad not to have a Blackwell game to look forward to. But, maybe... The Shivah 2? ;)

Small re-occuring gags like that are part of what makes this series memorable.
Have you tried entering 'Dave Gilbert' into the Oogle search engine? Fun result... :)

I'll definitely buy the new Blackwell game. The first three episodes were kind of a lukewarm experience for me but the 4th one (Blackwell Deception) was very enjoyable and if Epiphany is going to be even better than we're looking forward to a full-scale badass adventure game that no fan of the genre in their right mind can turn down.

Yes. And calling Rabbi Stone in Unbound :)
Still, I hope Tomo will get some closure.

I hope so too. Primordia is by far the best game from Wadjet Eye and Gemini Rue also looks good.

It's impossible for Tomo to get some closure, because Tomo is an illusion! Tomo does not exist! ;)

JudasIscariot: I am sad too as I too like the series as it felt like an old-school TV show but I think it's best that the series ends on a high note :)
So true, I would actually watch a Blackwell TV series, or at least buy DVDs of it.

Yes, please :) Been too long since I had a comfy TV series to settle into :D
