Who wouldn't want to see a 3rd FS3, mmh?
I make the count: 2 C&C, 2 RA, 3 Dune. I don't see what's wrong there, go complain about Ultima or Roger Wilco
At least Ultima and SpaceQuest actually have those other things... what were they called... oh yeah: STORIES. SpaceQuest at least had humor.
I played Dune2 when it came out. You know what? It was fun, it was innovative, it rocked my world and made me want to reread Dune. Later, there came Command & Conquer and Red Alert and Red Alert 2 and Command and Conquer 2 (Each with its own expansion pack). Of course, there was the whole realm of copycats (I am about to blaspheme), like Blizzard and its two Warcrafts and Starcraft. At one point, there were more RTS's announced in a single month than there were FPS games announced in the previous SIX (of course, FPS games rallied and showed the industry was introduced to yet another glut of half baked, pointless wastes of plastic discs).
Not only did Westwood shamelessly milk the wallets of the gullible, they did it in the most obscene way. They did what one EA Sports exec called 'slap new makeup on the old whore and send her out again'. They failed to innovate in any way once they found the formula. Say what you want about that abyssmal earth2150 (or whatever it was), at least it added pretty 3d explosions. I don't mind C&C:Renegade. You know why? Its different. Its something fresh for the game universe, even if it isn't fresh for gaming. It went in a new direction. For that, I applaud them.
Feh. Good riddance if they go.
