Re: The Future for SE IV? Does it have one?
 

You know when you boil right down to it, SEIV offers far more than any other game in the 4 X market. That is 1) Support, and 2) Modding

Par non, those are two of the key factors in SEIV's appeal for me. Not too mention the game play, the mods, the community, etc.

On another note:
Have you guys SEEN the battle graphics for Moo3 (due to be released in a couple of months)? It looks like a bunch of the exact same colored ships shooting the exact same colored spooge at other exact same colored ships. Frankly, SEV doesn't have much competition in the in-game graphics department...

However I like SEIV, I LOVE Moo/Moo2 and was planning to buy Moo3, but after seeing those pictures I am horrified. What the hell they are doing ???

The first sentence mentiones SE:IV, yes -- but it mentions it in PASSING, as a reference to teh SE4 -universe-, not the game itself. IOW, the participants will be the races (and maybe Neutrals) from SE4.

Later he mentiones SE5. Space Empires FIVE.

That's where the 3D combat system may be -- Space Empires FIVE.

IOW, rejoice, there are already -intentions-, and even basic plans, to eventually release SE5.

But don't get all frothy-at-the-mouth over 3D combat in Space Empires FOUR; won't happen.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">How about adding travel time to the weapons? Then you don't have to worry about who fires first, as long as you fire before you are hit.

Re: The Future for SE IV? Does it have one?
 

I think SE4 is one of those games that will always have some life , as a cult classic.

I am so glad to hear the future plans for the SE series. Thats all great news.

Congrats to Aaron for escaping from the Rat race!

As long as there is money in my wallet SE4 has a future with me http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif . The next generation(s) of the se4 series will always be a must have on my list.
