TURKEY TROTS TO WATER GG FROM WITP FAN ACTION COM MATRIX GAMES WILL THERE EVER BE A WITP 2? RR THE WORLD WONDERS

[Sardaukar]

Gary Grigsby himself said that he'll never try this sort of undertaking again...

It'd be massive project and doubt there would be enough people willing to invest to it.

[BBfanboy]

The idea has been discussed to death in previous threads, the last about a year and a half ago. The conclusion is that the cost of truly updating the game engine, the graphics, the interface and paying all the copywrites out would never be recouped by the numbers of people willing to invest in the game. Perhaps you could speak to Jeff Bezos now that he no longer has to support Amazon ... [:D]

I think we might have better luck with Paul Allen if he was still around. Anyone interested in paying to find the Musashi and many others might have a few million for the refresh!

[Anachro]

Bill Belichick of Patriots fame is fairly well-off thanks to his career in the NFL and is a known huge WW2 history buff (he's even done narration for a WW2 documentary or two). Perhaps someone could persuade him to help fund the effort. [:)]

Maybe somebody should start a thread asking for one thousand dollar donations for everyone who asks this question.

Also, maybe make a thread and sticky it so people will not ask this question any more plus make sure that no comments are allowed.

Something like TTTSNBN on "Armchair General"? A thread on "Operation Sealion" which went on for five years. After 15.000 postings it was decided by the moderators that it was enough. So...TTTSNBN - The Thread That Shall Not Be Named

I must admit I was involved - in the discussions, that is...[;)]

Almost, you are allowed to make comments about the futility of regarding the topic introduced.

[Platoonist]

As a substitute I suppose one could try Warplan Pacific. However, the game seems like a Japanese fanboy fantasy so far. With Malaya, Borneo. the Philippines, the DEI, Port Moresby, New Caledonia, Guadalcanal and Fiji all being routinely conquered by the Empire by January 1942.

Sounds like some logistical pruning is in order.

[rustysi]

Did someone say disregard????? Done....[:D]

I only asked because they had made a WITE 2 and I was curious. I didn't expect this level of hostility. I won't be posting here again, don't worry.

Didn't mean to sound harsh. It just seems like this question gets asked about once a month. Plus, if you hang out here it's been made plain many times that there will never be a sequel.

Technically, War in the Pacific: Admiral's Edition is WITP2. The original War in the Pacific by Gary Grigsby came out in 2004.

But have you been to the dark place, when your post is dissed by Alfred and Bullwinkle at the same time?

Jokes aside, I marvel how they had pulled off WITP:AE in the first place. THE FORUM WONDERS.

It is not just that you asked and apparently did not look at previous threads but to me, it is the way that you asked.[:-]

It was just a humorous riff off a well-known WW2 incident. Oddly enough, this too has inspired angst and agita amongst some who read it! [:)]

Umm no. They didn't use identifiers for Caps/No Caps in those messages.

And oddly enough, he wasn't the first to use this meme when questioning the hoped for arrival of a Matrix update:
