Grigsby future plans: A possible return to Steel Panthers

So, this means the game won't be out for at least another 3 years or so?

I really Really hope a new SP game is primarily a graphics upgrade and not a complete reworking. So many great classic games don't need anything more than a facelift, IE higher resolution graphics. I wish that the developers who get their hands on some of that olde timey goodness IP would realize this.

Took the words right out of my mouth. Leave the game just like it is, just make it look better. Give us an "execution phase," where we get to see our orders getting carried out, and as many times as we want a la the CM series.

I couldn't agree more that sequels that are complete tear downs almost never recapture what the original was.  Its like some product manager feels the need to put their stamp on it with new and improved.  If you can't see the lineage from the sequel, then don't call it a sequel.  You are just setting yourself up for a pissed off fan base.

Agreed too much change of the underlying game would be bad, it really just needs a big graphics upgrade and a lot of people would be very happy!

Although, of course this one might get one of the 'premium' labels because people have such fond memories. But that will make it easy for me to resist.
