So, if we're here to discuss big huge games...why aren't we???
What is the biggest hugest game you possess?

OneFootInTheGrave · May 23, 2001, 12:03

Well they didin't make a game yet did they?

this forum is waiting for the future, however what if BHG make a RTS game like AOE???

My games are all big as is my belly!

GET IN MY BELLY BIG HUGE GAMES!!!!!

Venom · May 23, 2001, 13:53

Actually, I lied. My belly is not big at all. And my games are average as well. I do have big feet though.

What???

DarthVeda · May 24, 2001, 00:29

Uh... the reason BHG's crew left Firaxis is because they wanted to make an RTS instead of a TBS and the Sidman wouldn't let them...

Venom · May 24, 2001, 08:02

Sid is such a facist.

Dr.Oogkloot · May 24, 2001, 19:39

Zopper, you do know Big Huge Games is a company?

I would have to believe that we will. Once you have the code, storing the threads do not take up that much server space and if there is an interest in the community then there will probably always be a thread for Big Huge Games for us to discuss what is going on.

Dr.Oogkloot · May 26, 2001, 19:01

Maybe some sort of small front page message is in order for those outside of the know?

KrazyHorse · June 28, 2001, 15:10

I've found it impossible to determine what, if anything, BHG is up to.

Narck · June 28, 2001, 22:47

What kind of games are they supposed to be making anyway?

SerapisIV · June 29, 2001, 11:05

Anyone know of any press annoucements as to what games/genre's BHG is working on? The last time I heard of Brian Reynolds was his Apolyton interview, anyone know of more recent info?

Robert Plomp · July 13, 2001, 07:15

Does BHG still even exist ?
I mean, haven't heard anything about them anymore !

guess that I have to check their website

OneFootInTheGrave · July 13, 2001, 09:23

BHG are on an extended leave of absence from public activity... maybe they are waiting for civ 3 to be finished so they can try to do it in 3D....

tniem · July 13, 2001, 18:26

Brian Renyolds in an interview with Apolyton said basically they are working on a title that they are not going to announce yet that they expect to release in 2002. Basically, BR seems to understand that it is best to keep your next game guarded until it is getting closer to release date. Otherwise you end up canceling a project and feeling backlash or having the game turn out differently than what you had hyped it up to be.

It is something Firaxis should have done with Dinos and paid a price for that. Hopefully BHG and BR will deliver the goods on whatever game they are creating now.

Zealot · July 14, 2001, 12:59

Well I am not happy with all this silence!

I'm a fan, for crying out loud! I NEED to know what they are up to... Brian produced so many good games, how can he think that we can go on our lives without him?

Pleeeeeeeeeeeease BHG, tell us something!!

(I'm not going to get anything unless I get a sad 'smilie' with big Bambi eyes...)

Stefu, could you please...?

Brians dropped a few hints - he has said it will follow some themes from his career - since it will be RTS and NOT TBS, presumably that means substantive themes - 4X? History? Environmentalist Sci-fi?

And when asked how to integrate real strategic thinking into an RTS, he said that is almost a content question - quite a tease, huh?

Too much of a tease, IMO.

I think BHG already had enough time to say what they have been doing. They could say (or even show!

) something to us, fans!
And before you all (BHG) go on vacations, if you please!

Perhaps a more appropriate name might have been Big Huge Ego.

A quick pop by their site was revealing - they have pictures of about ten employees - 4 of whom have president in their titles.

Zealot · September 9, 2001, 21:50

Nevertheless, I'm getting a little impatience for news from BHG!

OneFootInTheGrave · September 10, 2001, 08:37

BHG ar on an extended leave of absence...

lord of the mark · September 13, 2001, 17:00

This is not a real post

Im showing my kid how the smilies work

Please dont count this towards my post count

mandatory on topic content - i would also like more news from Brian.

well it sure is turning out to be a great forum to bump!

OneFootInTheGrave · September 26, 2001, 05:02

This forum is for the future...

and the future never comes.... they have been in agreement with Microsoft for over a year now.,... they might as well leak some news out in all that time

this url doesn't work anymore anyway

http://www.bighugegames.com/

man next thing we will read is that Brian is dead...

they should have around 30- 35 staff working... can anyone bother to say what they are doing
