    And Civ3 sold well enough on pure brand to actually merit patching and an expansion...

      But will that be the case with Moo3?

        If R4TS hadn't $ucked so bad it would have sold well on name alone. Could've done really well if it had been fun. It just made me scratch my head and say, "What were these guys thinking?"

          I don't think any space 4x has brand name enough to sell well on just that. It has to be real good as well.

          Well, unless Blizzards decides to make one, anyway.

            You may be right Moomin (yeah we recall you as Paratroopin). I do think that if they get on the shelfs they have enough name to do well, if the game is at least good. If it is better than good, then it will boom. The problem as I see it is that people here do not get to decide the issue of if it is good. I say that because we think Moo2 was good, but the gaming world was not bowled over.

              I think that blizzard could put a piece of sh1t in a box and would sell 4 million copies. They would not do that however, cuz they know that they have a good thing going.

                I won't mind Q1 or Q2 2003, since I too have plenty of games to play. Have you noticed since how much time they haven't updated the "september-ish" and Q3 2002??? And the project hasn't reached beta yet....They work so hard to rush the game, then not much time is left for inputs to the fans ( quite a change of pace since Emrich's era...)

                  Hey, gent's, let's start a pool. We all guess a date and the guy who's closest gets... well, the honor.

                        My guess is based on zero facts or knowledge, just a blind shot in the dark---- Mar 2003. If they miss Xmas, you should wait awhile to let the public recover from the spending and all the games they will have.

                          January is actually considered one of the premium software-selling seasons of the year, so I'm guessing January.

                            Darn you guys took all of Q1 2003!

                            Oh well, put me down for April '03... maybe I'll get lucky.
                            And of course if they actually spend all of that time making the game and polishing it then it ought to be good. Maybe they will even have an open beta test!

                            Well I can dream

                              You are allowed to pick any month even if taken or just pick month and day. I just made that rule up.

                                In fact, if you pick a day and do it right, we'll all bow to your supreme wisdom.
