Years later, rebellion is still selling for over 20$ on ebay.

 

YES LUCAS, THERE IS A DEMAND! MAKE A SEQUEL!!!

 

*ahem* sorry about that people

look at the number of members of this site...that alone shows how much of a demand for this game there still is....how many games as old as rebellion would have this many people interested enough to participate with a site like this and utilize the tools found here?

I wholeheartedly agree. Talking about a Rebellion II (Or Supremacy II for me ), I was looking at a fans homepage (someone from here no less) and they had a (broken) link to a Rebellion II site... Or more a 'what fans would like in Rebellion II...' website. Just wondered if anyone new the link.

yep... and long long time ago on a newsgroup called alt.games.sw.... whatever there were lots and lots of discussions about what could be done for Rebellion2

 

There's been excitement about the games potential since it came out. It's the ONLY "big picture" SW game, and even deeply flawed it is compelling. The major criticism by reviewers was execution, not the concept.

 

But I think Lucas Arts got gunshy because they released a lot of buggy carp and were getting a bad rep. Then they tried something new with Force Commander (pretty good game, actually) and got hit with the "TOO BUGGY" complaint again.

 

So they fell back on using other games' engines and churning out sequels that were different on the surface but took few chances in the programming code.

 

 

So I doubt they'll come down this road any time soon unless someone else releases a game that is practically rebellion 2 except for the art work

Too bad it'll never happen.

I had big hopes for MOO3 actually... in MOO2 they introduced the concept of character cards (Rebellion ripoff, you decide ), and I was hoping they'd take another step closer to Rebellion-style character cards in MOO3. As far as I could tell, they didn't.

 

Of course, I admit I got moo3 and never played it once I found out the had removed all of my favorite species Idiots. Can't have a decent galaxy without catpeople in it... Idiots.

 

I actually wouldn't be suprised to see something similar to rebellion come out to be honest. Pokemon and Yu-gi-o (whatever) have really popularized the whole "card" concept. It really gives a personal touch to god-games. Just merge the card concept with something civ-like or moo-like and you're halfway there...

 

Man Lucas, you're missing the boat you could sell sequels and addon packs so freakin' easy...
