SE IV has been out now for nearly two years, and by all rights its game over man. Most publishers stop supporting their games after the year and a half mark. That is if your lucky. At what point does Malfador say tough **** SE IV fans, buy SE V?

Given the healthy modding community here, obviously there are still plenty of people interested in the game, and interested in improving it.

Will there be an SE V? I doubt it. Since they did not make any money off of SE IV, there can be no SE V.

Where did you get that tidbit of information? I mean, they didn't GIVE SE4 away, theys old it. They didn't sell it for $5US a pop, they charged reasonable rates.

To have an SE V, will mean that Aaron will have to incorperate a 3D combat system. Since most Four X games since 97 and on have had 3D combat, one has to really wonder why SE IV did nt have it. I don't think not having hurt the game, in fact I think it made the game that much more enjoyable. However, an evolution must be made.

IT does not neccessarily follow that combat MUST be 3D, "because veryone else is doing that" ... nor that an evolution MUST incorporate 3D anything.

Would it be nice? sure. But not required.

So will there be an SE V? I will bet no.

The cost is too high to produce it.

Unless you have access to MM's books, you can't know that for certain.

Now, stop trolling. Please.
