Desslock Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 Originally posted by Broode It actually appears the Westwood will be supporting their new game Renegade even more than Valve supported (and still supports) half-life. A few weeks ago they held a convention over a weekend and invited a lot of the best modding teams around to come and look at the modding tools and capabilities of the new engine. They have also stated that they WILL be including flying vehicles in a couple of maps that they add in a patch down the road. Westwood flopped Renegade IMO. It was almost as bad as Daikatana Most of the reviews speak for it. The singleplayer sucked horribly. The multiplayer CNC mode is ultra fun when playing with a team of an average IQ though.

Guest X-Vector Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 Originally posted by Major Clod Remember that the Half-Life patches contained new maps, models, games (Team Fortress Classic)... though no other developers have supported their game like Valve have. I think Epic have come very close with their continuous support for Unreal Tournament, they've released at least three free bonus map packs for example. Perhaps we can expect a few new additions to the game. It all depends on Raven and how much time and resources they have to commit to that sort of work. It also depends on how well JO will do in sales. A Raven employee recently made no bones about it that the major reason for their lack of ongoing support for EF is the dissappointing sales figures that the game generated. Their stance seemed to have been one of "don't look back" in that particular case. Of course this is a commercial decision that has been taken by lots of other companies as well, notice that the games mentioned in this thread that do enjoy proper after sales support are almost exclusively ones that have done well at the box office. This is one reason to hope JO will be a resounding financial success as well as an artistic one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P129 Posted March 6, 2002 Share Posted March 6, 2002 Originally posted by Major Clod Remember that the Half-Life patches contained new maps, models, games (Team Fortress Classic)... Yeah but remember that almost every patch made new bugs like hitbox bs and other horrendous bugs, being fixed in the next patch that in turn gave more bugs etc etc...
