Go Hard, Go Worre! =)
if we can avoid guns, drugs, sharks and landslides its gonna be a great event
do not forget the spiders !
when will PKTV release???????????? *grml*@dc
hm =\
maybe fix current pk before starting to make another version
maybe its easier to pcf to write new game then fix this one ch1n00k 😛
/me agrees with yar 😉
great!! should be some kickass SP action again =D
might have a chance for next WT game ;/
god i hope not! quake4 all the way.
I bet this is Single Player only.
guess they wont be able to sell that many copies cuz of UT2k7 and Q4 coming next year and if Q4 is as good as Q3 and UT2k7 as good as UT99 then those games will be the only big shooters besides CSS/cs1.6 so i guess it’ll be hard for PK2…
PK2 could be the game for World Tour 2006 … if only the game will kick ass and won’t have any bugs 🙂
Silas: After how pcf/dc behaved this time I very very much doubt that CPL will ever consider using a game from either of the companys again.
Worre: you’re right. I highly doubt that too 🙂
Loled but true worre :d
…unless of course PK2 was already agreed as part of the original CPL-DC contract… but as much as CPL would have wanted to ‘own’ a game after seemingly being shunned elsewhere, it would be surprising brave for such a large contract to be agreed by the CPL. Perhaps if this was the case you could argue that the CPL risk with PK, was based more on a game being developed-with-the-CPL-in-mind, rather than solely a game being fixed-with-the-CPL-in-mind… I speculate that when the CPL negotiated with DC, PK2 was already somewhere in the back of DC’s mind – I wonder if it was mentioned though. If CPL had wanted a 100% effort from a contract for this year alone, I cannot understand why they are not furious with DC for not having met the basic deliverables so far.. perhaps if they were conscious of a large amount of work being done on PK2 on their behalf as part of the contract, they would be more lenient for the lack of work on PK.
Obviously here I am just following a logical progression of a speculative idea, and I really don’t believe this to be the case.
If it isn’t PK2, then the next WT game is also open to speculation on the basis of the only hint being in the words, so far, of Angel during a TsN interview, which if memory serves correctly, claimed that the next WT would be ‘popular with the community’. He implied that lessons had been learnt from PK, and that it had been the right choice at the time… perhaps words which are more about saving-face than a honest appraisal of the choice.
Q4 wont become WT game as Tonya said, ID software and CLP are like fire and water 2 total opposite’s. I’d quess pk2 or ut2007
we can always hope for it ch1n00k :O
