    Infogrames transfers Game Rights!

    In news on page 28 of Computer Games Magazine's August 2003 edition; there is a snippet stating that

    Infogrames, in addition to changing its name to Atari, transferred "the rights for an umber of games to Firaxis in return for the rights to publish the developer's next titles. Games covered include Sid Meier's Colonization and Sid Meier's Pirates!"

    Colonization 2 would be nice

      Only a mild understatement.
      One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.

        Couldn't they possibly be a little more specific? Such a general statement is frustratingly empty.

          Well, it looks like they're going to be making Pirates! 2 first

            Well, if they are only interested in making a buck (which appears to be the case) then the least they could do is ask us what games we'd most like to see.

              They probably visited the forums.. and saw the trends in 3D games and thought that PIRATES 2! would be the way to go... personally, I think it will be a big flop. there are simply too many varied things to do in the world- it would be too unstructured, etc.

              I think that, although it will be published, that it might very well bankrupt firaxis. the market for these games simply isn't there. (even though they say 'emergent' gaming is the thing of the future... remember how many people bought Black and White... and returned it ? or at least tried to return it?)

              Firaxis should have made Colonization 2... espeically with the new wave of american patriotism.

                Agreed.
