Re: Beyond the red line mentioned in uk pcg.
In short (in essence really) all it is> a half page review slating sierras attempt. And where it suggests an alternate it says "beyond the red line" it's still doubleplusgood to know that the best mag on the planet knows we're here and Not Derek Smart hasn't been mentioned in god knows how long. :D

Why do such fantastic franchises for movies, tv and existing games get given to such crappy teams and given crappy support? Bad games dont sell well. Why waste the money to begin with? WHY NOT MAKE SOMETHING OF A FRANCHISE THAT WILL SELL SO WELL!!?

Sorry. Congrats on another honourable mention BTRL team.

To be fair to Auran from what I hear they actually had to fight with the publisher to get to make it even slightly 3D.

Auran, you mean the Aussie group who went bust after Fury? If so then that explains a lot. Kinda looks like they spent a week on it. Its not listed anywhere on their site.

Because a hot "IP" will move games licensed from it even if the games suck more than a porn star. Generally the people who license franchises for games will pick whoever wants the smallest budget. They don't care about how good the game is. They might not have ever played a video game in their entire lives. Games are nothing but money to them.

Re: Beyond the red line mentioned in uk pcg.
I must have totally missed something. I read the whole article but, BTRL is HLP's FS2 mod of BSG. This is a game review of a non FS2 engine BSG Game, not MOD. And this is totally kicking the game in the balls. So how is this a honerable mention, when it does not mention Our version, much less if it did, say anything good about it?

If this review was about our version this is a 'it sucks ass' and a 'it should be shot' review, wrather then a honerable mention. And IIRC our version is kick ass so what did i miss?

You missed the fact that on the bottom of the page, BtRL is listed as an alternative to this crappy game.
