[quote who="4Nana" reply="19" id="2724317"]The only thing demigod needs is a re-release with a LOT of bug fixes, a new ladder system that actually works and includes teams, and a matchmaking system for teams. The crappy release lost many potential players, and the complete lack of fixes to the majority of problems still around to date ensured that the slim chances of a revitalization in player base was never going to happen. Millions of dropped lobbies, random dc's in game, a

[quote who="OMG_nomilarac" reply="15" id="2723934"]@jongalt Sigh at "demigod is not worth supporting". Sigh at the fact Chris Taylor didn't announce anything, he just said they'd be interested in making a sequel TO MAKE MONEY BACK from the initial investment in DG. Even IF it happened (which IF made well could be great), sigh at GPG probably making a consolized POS which would be less worth playing than the original DG. Just take a look at what they did with Su
The way Chris talks in that video makes me think he actually is starting to understand the community. The video blogs certainly help.
[quote who="OMG_DD-shred_demon" reply="10" id="2723810"]I think it's good news Guess we got to hope for the best and that a multiplatform demigod 2 will have all the issues in demigod 1 ironed out and will be what demigod 1 was meant to be.[/quote] That's the spirit!
[quote who="Colonel_Jessep" reply="7" id="2723589"]O, interesting. Not that I'm really surprised, Demigod is the last IP with potential GPG still owns. I wonder how they are going to publish it. I hope it will be a cooperation with Stardock again. Who else thinks the Generals' days are numbered when this goes multiplatform?[/quote] Doubt it. Supreme Commander 2 was on consoles =P
[quote who="OMG_nomilarac" reply="5" id="2723570"]FFS guys please watch the damn interview before posting such a thing, ALL he says is they /WOULD/ be interested in making a sequel to further milk the already stablished franchise/IP and fanbase. Hell anything he says about demigod is money related. So yeah, wohoooooo, they MIGHT make a sequel instead of supporting demigod 1 [/quote] Demigod 1 is not worth supporting.
I'm still not sure I believe it. I've sent emails to him asking for a sequel. >.
no u lie
[quote who="OMG_pacov" reply="23" id="2715165"] Quoting OMG-howboutnoooo, reply 22hey demigod had a tournamet so you lie true - 1 esl tourney and 1 community run 1. [/quote] All right, it never had any legit tournaments run by Stardock or GPG. (which were promised but never came...) But Monday Night Combat is just so much better than Demigod.

There is no demand for this worthy of a commercial investment. Its an option Stardock can quote to these people. Its about keeping options open. You know, I knew you weren't really asking a question. It was one of those rhetorical bs lines that you like to spit out all over the place. But hey, I do

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="25" id="2712229"]BioShock is far from a "landmark" game. It just got so much attention because it tried being a story-driven modern FPS instead of a plain shooter - and it did that mostly by just having you look around for old recordings. The gameplay remained a plain and generic shooter. Like I said, generic shooter in a pretty wrapper. It just stood out because none of the other games tried to focus on the atmosphere or story.[/quote] Annatar, I've alwa

Zehdon, you have to play it before you render judgment. Ken Levine has a good idea of what he's doing. I won't take opinions seriously until we all do. See you in 2 years. =P Besides, the studio is 20 minutes from my house. I got to root for the home team.
[quote who="ZehDon" reply="17" id="2711874"]Wow. Annualising Bioshock. I expected them to at least call it something different. Bioshock stood on it's own merits and became a very successful IP because it was simply good. Bioshock 2 cashed in on that, and delivered a bit of an encore. Not essential, but not terrible to the point of burning the franchise to ground... or tying balloons to it and floating it into the fucking sky, either. Bioshock 4: Moder
