Stardock Tried To Make Star Control, Master of Orion Sequels [Slashdot]

[DP ServBot]

Gamasutra reports on comments from Stardock CEO Brad Wardell in which he described his efforts to revive two old but popular franchises: Star Control and Master of Orion. Quoting: "'I actually pitched Atari on a whole idea for a true successor to Star Control,' [he said], noting that the game would follow original series developer Toys for Bob's Star Control II rather than the Legend Entertainment-developed Star Control 3 ('We just pretend that never happened,' the CEO says of that release). ... Novato, California-based Toys for Bob has actually floated the idea of making its own Star Control II sequel, with co-creator Paul Reiche III indicating he has tossed potential design ideas around, but with the company now owned by publisher Activision the proposal seems to be stuck in limbo."http://games.slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rss&op=image&style=h0&sid=08/11/18/0339249 (http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/11/18/0339249&from=rss)

Just want all of you to know its my fault.
Seems like whatever game franchise I fell in love with back in the day gets porked now a days. Star Control is one of them.

Damn. A real quality successor to Star Control 2 would be an INSTANT buy for me. Seriously. Even if it was $200 at release. IMO the closest we've come is Mass Effect.
