Renegade did sell a lot but they didn't make nowhere near as much as they expected, I have no knowledge of there exact finaces but I belive they could well have been at a loss so after that I don't think they will attempt a Renegade 2 just incase this time they do run into a loss.

If you think how long Renegade was in development you will get a good idea of how much it would be mounting up to and after it was done they still had to pay to make things like the gmax plugin.

Theres a lot more to think about when your the leader of a multi-millon pound company, one wrong move could be the end of you.

I wish people would put more thoughtt into things b4 they start slagging off at EA, ok I think they would make a profit on Renegade 2 but it will take more than a few thousand people to convince them they are going to be doing the right thing by making this game.

The point is:


EA SUCKS

And they don't give a shit about their customers.

I mean, really. They tried to charge $50 for TSO, then another $15 a month. It's complete bullshit. I was in the beta, it was a great game......just way too much money.

I thought the Sims online was $9.99 per month, though its not my type of game anyway.

EA is a business, they will make any type of game that sells. It took me a long time to understand that.

Was $15, but nobody bought it, so they lowered it.

EA isent good enough to make renegade 2
and thay should realize that even if it sells the same way it sold last time thell still get alot more money, becuse thay already have a platform for it which is less time and money to make one for the game, thay already have a ton of models and it all set up already. now what thay got to do is just modify the platform in some places and replace alot of the old stuff in the always dat and things...

The problem with sequals (as renegade 2 would fall under) is that they are dependant on the income of it's predecessors. Unfortunatly Renegade did not do too well in sales, and the lack of sufficiant profit was one reason Westwood was closed. There will be no renegade 2 made by EA simply because of the lack of sufficiant profit by the original.

You don't have to prominade it all over the place. You'd get in trouble if you posted what's going on, so it's no use posting that you know something but can't tell anyone.

it has never been $15, as i have been paying for at least one membership since it started (plus even i was a beta tester). TSO is well supported, and they even have a complete test center, and care about there customers feedback. This is maxis doing this, they are a successful company, and are pretty much entitled to do what they want with there software & how they update/progress it.

EA has too many customers to be honest to be able to cater to all there needs, although, they still manage to profit around $40 billion a year. So, if you want to get there attention, one person can not simply say "hey, we want this game" you must make a movement that they can look at and go "ok, $49.99 x 20,000 <> good sales, $49.99 x 3+ million = good sales"

plus they have to pay the developers for the time of the game development, post development, and then you have a full support staff, servers, web, marketing, distrobution, etc...

basically, if 20,000 people cry for it, there may be 100,000, which currently isn't enough to be able to make a profit off of it.

its really all just economics and basic math.

im not saying i would love to have Ren2, god i would dream for it, but it can't happen according to the math.

EA sucks.

If they didn´t close Westwood, Renegade would be same like Battlefield1942. An example is the GDI-APC. There is an interior to sit in and in the Editor there are animations when the Player sits in a Vehicle.

But they wanted to release it together with Medal of Honor.
That 2 Titles were awsome.

So you see.
If they had cpmplete CCR like Westwood planed it, it would sell good.

I think that they work on CCR2. Not long after release of CCR1 there were news about CCR2 and it appears models with a very high PolyCount.
The W3D-Engine was not good enough to process with good FPS too and so they are working on the Engine.


PS: Generals uses the same Engine like Renegade. It´s only made some better.
