Grigsby future plans: A possible return to Steel Panthers

[jomni]

Though WWII Steel Panthers remake is more than welcome.  I sure hope they do MBT first.  Too many WWII games already.  Better yet, maybe make it a "century of warfare" thing like TOAW.

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.

He'll have to do the code from scratch.

However, I hope he holds the architecture the same.

As for Jomni's comment that there are too many WWII games? Heresy!

I want a very good wwII GAME AGAIN, THEIR MIGHT BE LOTS BUT THERE IS ALSO A LOT OF DROSS.  oops caps lock

•   War in the East 2.0 - a remake of War in the East using the War in the West engine and new map system (another building block foe the mega game).
•   War in the West 1940 (France/Norway/Med)
•   War in the West 1941-43 (Mediterranean)
•   War in Europe - the largest game ever conceived!

Oh God! Please Stop!

I like wargames as much as the next guy here, but WiE isn't really even a game. At least not what I would call a game. Just the thought of commanding the Soviets at the sub-divisional level was enough to make me not even take a second look. Do they command what, 1500 units per turn? I mean holy crap, is that fun? It is even possible to intelligently command that many units?

Hitler did it and he loved it! :P

Believe me, WitE is a game because it is very 'gamey'.  ;)

Who's going to pay for a new game that is nothing but, a graphic update, everyone would be screaming RipOff!  GG has a good track record of creating new versions of his old games (New - Old: WITP - Pacific War, WITE - War in Russia)! I just hope we don't have to wait 10 years for it!

Even Steel Panthers I believe was an update of his Panzer Strike, Typhoon of Steel, and Overrun series of games from the 80s.

Nope, hexes.  Don't confuse engine with game :)   Much as hexes are evil anyway...
