How much will you be disappointed...

[steve.bd]

...when you'll discover that the new game that will be announced on PDXCON will not be Victoria 3?

This is me:

I've mentally prepared my self for Europa Universalis V: Crusader Kings

[Ragnar89]

I have no doubt they will announce Vicky III

Too optimist maybe?

 

[Lemony Nelson]

Can't wait for Victoria: Revolutions on the mobile this fall.

Should my first in-app purchase be the German Unification DLC or the Speed 4 unlock?

 

[Gurkhal]

Not very sad for I have reconciled myself with this turn ot events. But I do hope that we'll get the Antiquity game so that philhellenes like myself can stamp those damn Romans into the ground.

Can't get disappointed if you don't get your hopes up in the first place

 

[JonStryker]

So was anything announced after all?

Johan has said it’s not Vic 3. I take him at his word

On a serious note, for me it's not important wether or not the next title is Victoria or not. What I do find important is that it's about geopolitics. We have war (HOI), empire building (EU), and dynastic intrique (CK), but since Vicky 2 there hasn't been a game that took such a dive into deep, large scale foreign policy and economy. For me the POP mechanic was never the selling point, but a mechanic that happened to be ingenious in giving the rest of the game some real weight and high stakes.

While I'm a massive fan of the time period, I think it's done well enough in Vicky 2 to the point, that I'd actually be more interested in a similiar game set in the Cold War era or something like that. When ever I find Victoria 2 is getting a bit old on me, I just switch to another GS title and come rushing back with renewed appreciation for the game.
