Wow.
I'm curious who held those missing rights they suddenly got. It appears Stardock gave permission for their part of it, which is really awesome of them, though not unexpected since they said so all along.
Either that or they're dropping the name 'Star Control'? Possible.

Holy crap, it's actually happening? That's fantastic!
FF & PR, please please please make this libre software, and if you can't do that immediately then at least plan on doing it a few years later. I'd much rather this be something I can proudly recommend to friends than a guilty pleasure.

What business model can they use if they open it right away?

I assume they know they lost the real SC fans anyway (many of them at least), so th extra publicity from a FF and PRiii sequel can be very welcome to th brand name Star Control, and thus beneficial to their own products within the merchandise.

You guys think the might opt for a kickstarter? Or they've earned enough with Skylanders that they don't need additional funding? I think this is the first time in years I'm actually sincerely excited for a vg and really interested in it's development; what a great day ^_^

I am happy as long as they make it available for Linux, but since it is a sequel to my favorite game of all time, I might install windows just to play it, and delete windows afterwards.

I am soo happy for this news. Finally had to time to read it, so far I just skimmed it, opened the links, and then brought the kids to bed.....
For the first time in years an early game development announcement has me jump with excitement!
I am so looking forward!
Christmas came early this year. Very early!

I will attempt not to get hyped up because it will only make me sad if it doesn't turn out great.
But deep down inside I'm hoping for something great.

For completeness sake:
Now also PCgamer published an article: http://www.pcgamer.com/25-years-later-star-control-2-is-getting-a-direct-sequel/
Also, the StarDock (brand owner of "Star Control") reply: Ghosts of the Precursors October 9, 2017 7:15:47 PMfrom Star Control ForumsStar Control Forums Four years ago Stardock acquired Atari's rights to Star Control. I soon got to meet my hero, Paul Reiche. He was, more than anyone else, the person who inspired me to become a game developer over 20 years ago. Over the past 4 years, we have communicated regarding the progress of Star Control: Origins. He asked us not to try to make a sequel to Star Control 2 and said that he hoped one day to be able to return to the universe he and Fred Ford created. Recently, Paul told me the good news: Activision was going to let him do a true sequel to Star Control II: The Ur-Quan Masters (i.e. Star Control III is not canon for that universe). Today, they posted the news publicly: https://dogarandkazon.squarespace.com/It's still very early but they will have all the characters from Star Control 2 plus new ones. It's going to be called Ghosts of the Precursors. For 4 years, people asked me why we weren't going to touch the Star Control 2 story. Now you know. As soon as they have an official site for it, we'll let you know. |
