well, I knew about summoner2 for quite some time now. I don't remember where I read this tho, but I remember it was saying red faction 2 was also in production.

Yeah, and from what i hear S2 is gonna be a PS2 exclusive title, a shame for all of those who don't own a PS2 and liked summoner PC.

Anyway that'd be stupid for volition (they don't want us to leave their fanbase) and THQ.
BTW: I'm going to get Summoner 1 and quick (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Still,...until I say a lot better support from this company my money's staying in my pocket. A quick pass over the Summoner and RF forums tend to show it isn't juts FS that got dropped on it's head.

I with THQ I only see it getting worse.

From pressrelease: "THQ Inc (NASDAQ NMS: THQI) today unveiled Summoner™ 2 exclusively for the PlayStation® 2 computer entertainment system"
That kinda sucks, but it wasn't unexpected. I don't think Summoner sold so well for PC. And we who have follow [V] knows that they are heading more for PS2. I think though that Red Faction 2 will be a PS2 and PC game.

Despite a few amusing theories I've read to the contrary, we've received no pressure from THQ, Sony, or anyone else to make that decision. It was completely our call to make.

Now consoles can already play DVDs, and next they will get full internet useability.
At the same time they develope TVs with net access, that can do whatever for thinks come into their minds and at the end we have three devices that can do exactly the same, and have to buy all three of them... (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/rolleyes.gif)

What if I want to get RF2 and don't give a damn about buying a PS2 ( and I sure don't want to buy that)?
