TA2 is coming, at some point. This is good. Cavedog aren't doing it though. That may be baaaad....


Yes, but the Brainz™ (nothing to do with Headz, kiddies) behind TA, Chris Taylor, has said repeatedly that he is going to do an RTS after he completes Dungeon Seige, which he has. I haven't heard anything official about this RTS yet, but I know it's a-comin'! :D

And as for TA2 - meh... a license isn't much good if it only covers the name/storyline of a game that had virtually no story. It'll probably rock, yeah, but who knows. Any word on the developer, namely, who?

ROFL! On the "About" page of Gas Powered Games (Chris Taylor's gig), there's this one guy whose bio is as follows:

Code: [Select]
Eric Tams
Content Engineer


Startup State Startup$ {
  Trigger OnHandleMessage$( EVENT_GOT_COMPUTER ) {
    SetState Alive$;
  }
}

State Alive$ {
  event OnEnterState$ {
    LearnProgram$( "Basic" );
    Writegames$( "RPG" );
    Playgames$( "ALL" );
  }

  Trigger OnHandleMessage$( EVENT_ENTERED_HIGHSCHOOL ) {
    SetState HighSchool$;
  }
}

State HighSchool$ {
  event OnEnterState$ {
    LearnProgram$( "Pascal" );
    Writegames$( "RPG" );
    Playgames$( "ALL" );
  }

  Trigger OnHandleMessage$( EVENT_HISTORY_CLASS_REQUIRED ) {
    DropOut$( "Sophomore Year" );
    SetState CollegeAtUtahStateUniversity$;
  }
}

State CollegeAtUtahStateUniversity$
{
  event OnEnterState$ {
    LearnProgram$( "C", "C++" );
    Writegames$( "RPG" );
    Playgames$("ALL");
  }

  Trigger OnHandleMessage$( EVENT_GRADUATED ) {
    SetState Job$;
  }
}

State Job$
{
  event OnEnterState$ {
    DrinkCoffee$( "Too Much" );
    Writegames$( "RPG" );
  }

  Trigger OnHandleMessage$( EVENT_FREE_TIME ) {
    FoldOrigami$( "Micro Origami" );
    PlayHandball$( "Lose" );
    SpendTimeWithBestSisterInWholeWorld$();
    Playgames$( "ALL" );
  }
}

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Okay, agreed that Roberts is The Man To Watch. I just hope he doesn't go for a pansy fantasy setting like TA: Kingdoms. Compared to TA, that really sucked. Hand-to-hand combat just isn't as good as ranged combat.

I also agree that TA had zero story, but I hold out hopes for the sequel. It's an Asian developer doing it - they did Kingdom Under Fire, or something.

Roberts? Who's dat? :wink:

I never even bothered to buy TAK - I don't care much at all for that setting - never played any of the Warcraft series, for example. Come to think of it, I couldn't find much interest in Age of Empires, either. :p

Never heard of KUF.

Roberts? Bah...it's just the Chris' - of course I meant Taylor. :p

I'm somewhat disappointed to finally realise that my poll about polls got deleted, Sandwich. Okay, so it took me a while - but you wouldn't happen to know anything about that, huh? :D

That's probably because it was pointless. I was one of the people who polled with "why are you posting this?" :lol:

Kellan:

On the one hand, spreading overblown politics.
On the other, utter, pointless nonsense.
