I’m hoping for a Sierra Online renaissance.
I wrote Sierra a letter as a kid and they wrote me back encouraging me to go to school for Computer Science so I could maybe work with them one day.
Did that ever get 11 year old me excited.
And I went to school for computer engineering…and Sierra vanished.
I hope Microsoft brings Sierra back.
How about Earthworm Jim or Blast Chamber? OR bring back True Crime as a new GTA competitor in Unreal Engine 5. I didn’t realize Sierra was connected to Activision. Police Quest 2 was one of THE games of my childhood. I can’t even fathom how they would bring back Police Quest and not have it suck for a million reasons, but that’d be a dream. Or a proper new SWAT, finally.
@TurianHammer The IP that i want Microsoft to revive is: True Crime,TimeShift,Soldier of fortune,Singularity,Prototype,Interstate Series,Hexen,Gun,Geometry Wars
I’d love to see Warcraft 4
@giddy I’d love to play Warcraft 4 or Starcraft 3 but I don’t think Blizzard still has the ability to make a good RTS. It seems like most of the people who worked on these games have left.
tbf I think a lot of the Starcraft devs moved to work on Stormgate so hopefully that’ll cover the RTS portion.
F2P. Eeewwwwww.
We will never get the greatness that was Warcraft 3 again. That game single handedly killed the genre for single player because no one could compete ever again. It was amazing. Still is. Warcraft 4 has an insane bar to overcome.
Microsoft isn’t going to revive anything. I don’t understand how people fill think that Microsoft will improve things when they have such a poor track record for their current studios.
MS revived the beloved Banjo-Kazooie franchise with the hit Nuts and Bolts. Surely we can see more continuations of abandoned IPs! (/s)
The Nuts and Bolts devs have to be suicide watch these days considering Tears of the Kingdom’s success.
