Yeah, at first I was rejoicing, but pessimism has struck. The third installment in any series has this issue. I really hope Paradox doesn't pull a MOO3 on us, 'cause that would be cruel.Trip said:
That said, we have a year to wait in limbo.
Trip said:I think it's safe to assume anyone posting in this or the OT thread in the next day will have their hopes "waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay" too high no matter what.
*shrug* Then they'll just have to make it super cool so my high standards are met. *nods*
Like what was done with Civ IV.
(and hopefully Oblivion)
Jeno said:Oh, people that get their hopes waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to high will always be dissapointed, just like with any other game or highly anticipated movie.
But with all the projects they've done since EU II, I think if they combine the best parts of HoI II/CK/Vicky along with the best of EUII and general improvements to it...then it'll be a good game.
People will always be a little dissapointed at least, When we antticipate we have this idea in our head our own perfect game or whatever it is. But it is never the way we see it exactly. lol
Like Christmas Morning

I disagree. If they can just make a game as good as EU2, add a couple new functions and improve on their portrayal of the game, then I'll be happy. They don't need to revolutionize the whole concept, just bring some fresh air to the game.
All those "Where is EU3?" threads we've seen over the years, and now...
I won't believe it 'til I see it!
Seriously, EU2 is my candidate for the best game ever, with still a dedicated fanbase both for SP and MP. That will be a very high standard for the new EU3. I hope Johan is up for it!
Congratulations and best wishes to all the Paradox staff. I hope everything in the development process for EU3 goes splendidly.

Ohh, I see now, another tactic to get me to upgrade again? :rofl: Well I guess I can live with better graphics
It'll help attract new gamers at the least. The engine is more important to me though overall.
Did anyone else catch the bit about "emperors", as in the plural? It will be interesting to see what this actually means. My first thought is that Japan might be a bit more broken up, and my second is to wonder what that might mean for China....
But is that what will be done?Tem_Probe said:
In the interview Johan mentioned altering the game to make it easier for new players to understand. There are fundamental trade-offs when going for n00b-friendliness or hardcore-gamer features. It's not possible to have both. I don't believe the differences between EU3 and EU2 will be as slight as EU1 to EU2...
No doubt... I still have my fingers crossed.Jeno said:*shrug* Then they'll just have to make it super cool so my high standards are met. *nods*

LOL. Our brains cannot handle seeing all the "objects".Trip said:
Anyhoo, this will indeed by interesting. This will be Paradox's first true game to take on the new engine.
Kudos to the reduced time frame. It means that hopefully this will make the game an even better model of history and the mechanics of the time!
"We look forward to giving you more information soon on what will become the best game ever made."
Trip said:
You have a point. However, considering they didn't fundamentally alter the programming crew and designing crew, so I'm fairly confident despite the attempt to reach out to a larger base of gamers, they'll still remain true to their design methods which have been proven over and over. And if they do, then it cannot fail to bring us a good game.
Apparently Johan doesnt like public beta testers anymore. HOI2 was going to be the last.BasileiosII said:
The wide range of graphics for different places look good.
Why, what happened?Duke of Wellington said:
Albeit, most of the work is done by a small group of close-knit, devoted loyal testers.

I, like the rest of you, am very excited about this announcement.
I hope they steer away from the type of stream-lining that was done on Master of Orion 3 for sake of bringing in the newcomers. That game was a total flop. But I am longtime fan of the products released from paradox, and highly anticipate a great sequel.
