Myth III Preview

An Anonymous Coward sent in: "A nice new preview of Myth III: The Wolf Age has been posted at InsideMacGames after a visit the author made to MumboJumbo Studios. There's no word yet if Loki will port this 3D-enhanced sequel to Myth II as well, but there's always hope..."

Does it fix Myth II's problems?

[Remus Shepherd]

Myth I was a groundbreaking game, with realistic troop movements and tactics. Loved it.

Myth II ruined the franchise, by allowing unrealistic encounters -- among other things, they removed the collision radius between units. Why they took a great engine and concept and screwed it up, I'll never understand.

I'm going to want some assurances that Myth III is faithful to the original, with some realism and thought in its design, before I try anything in that franchise again.

Loki set up a special newsgroup for port requests: loki.requests on news.lokigames.com. Please don't mention Diablo or Half-Life, however; those have been mentioned far too often. :-)

I loved Myth II; paid $80 or whatever for Loki's port, and it was worth every cent.

I hope that GoD and company can live up the the same high standards as Bungie. From the screenshots, there are obviously still a lot of issues with the game. I hope they will put in the effort to fix them and make it a wonderful game before they release. Far too many developers now are satisifed with releasing crap, and even if they do fix the issues eventually, the game does not do nearly so well as if they just did it right in the first place.
