"What you say?!" I hear you think, and "Surely it isn't true", but since you can <a href='http://www.cdmag.com/cgi-bin/order.cbi_home?source=83264&add=TOTAA2.IR' target='_blank'>Pre-order</a> it, chances are that we are in for a treat.
Fourth quarter of this year. Be ready.



(If you have never heard of TA, then you could go to the wormhole link above and then read the information & shiz. TA had like, what? Everything ever? 3D worlds, weapons that act correctly on it[better than C&C], infinite unit building queue, and and and... there's too much to mention.)

    I think, but hope i'm wrong, that we are in for a let down. Sequels aren't always as good as you expect them to be.

    Name two game sequels(except Driver) that weren't as good as the original games(NOT COUNTING BEING INNOVATIVE, sequels usually use the basic idea of the original, so it's not very likely to be as incredibly innovative as the original).

    Deus Ex 2: Invisible War

    Battlefield Vietnam

    Unreal 2

    Simcity 4

    Final Fantasy VII

    All of them lackluster compared to their prequels.

    And there's a good segement of people who will knaw your head off for belemishing the name of FFVII, even if your comparing it to FFVI.

    [edit]The artical on that site is dated 2002, and I haven't heard anything at all about the game since then... If its really in development by a korean game company there should have been news of some sort by now...

    The first TA is among one of the best LAN games of all time. That game was really far ahead of it's time, it just rocked. Hope the 2nd one is just as good.

    I should just have said "wasn't a good game <b>compared to itself rather than it's prequel</b>" which is what I meant all along.
    EDIT: and WTH, simcity 4 was vast amounts better than simcity 3000...
    EDIT2: - In any case. I wonder what will be changed? Just changing the units and upgrading the graphics would make a pretty good game, if although disappointing.
    They'd be hard pressed to fail with what they got to work on.

    I'd actually be perfectly happy if they just improved the physics (actual MIRV type weapons please?) and upgraded the graphics. The game is really awesome just right now. Also adding weapons affect on the landscape would be neat, because I would really like to see a crater when my Intimadator trashes a fusion plant. Or perhaps allow stuff to be built underground, metal fatigue-ish. Where you can switch between viewing above or below ground. So I can hide all my nuke silos under the earth.

    Yeah, its really old I wouldn't trust any news posts until Chris Taylor himself starts working on it. I am hoping after development of Dungeon Siege 2, he will begin work on a really good RTS game, he did a number with TA, RTS is in his blood.

    He <i>can't</i> make a TA sequel, since he doesn't have the rights to it any more. Which is exactly what Taylor said when asked about it, but added "that's not to say we can never make another, better RTS with robots in it".

    I didn't say he was going to make TA2, you assumed that I did when I said the original maker should make an RTS game after DS2. Reread the post foo!

    Yeah, Chris emailed the Unreal Annihilation team about the IP Copyrights and it is damn sad that he can't make TA2 but that doesn't stop him from making a similar, but awesome RTS game.
