It's use should be taken to mean that one is much much bigger than the other.

Take 2^x = 4 log(base 2)4 = 2 similarly 3^x = 27 log(base 3)27 = 3 therefore log(base F2 Sales)WCP Sales = exponential

I don't agree with your logic. By this reasoning wouldn't P2TD have to suck because Chris Roberts didn't do it? The point here may not be how well/poorly the game sold but how profitable it was. Did the game sell well enough to make it profitable? WCP may have sold better than SL/F2 but I...

I said "as the games got bigger & better". I doubt there are many that would argue that WCP was bigger/better than WC4. Yes, it may have had some improved features, though I can't think of any at the moment, but it was still obviously scaled down from WC4.

I don't argue that space sim/Iwar fans are different people. I actually considered Iwar to be closer to a *true* space simulator because of its physics. However, I don't agree that I-War2 couldn't revive the genre (provided it is successful). Granted, from what I've read, it will not be like...

While most of the reviews seem to be favorable, I was wondering what WC fans had to say about the I-War2. Since I didn't care for the first one, I don't really have any desire to shell out cash for the second one UNLESS the story/immersion factor is up-to-snuff. The reviews say the I2 is set...

Not necessarily, there's 'poorly', 'well', and 'just okay' (break-even). I think this might be a matter of semantics but an item can sell *well* but not be profitable. As each successive WC game got bigger/better it also got costlier requiring more sales to stay profitable. I would guess that...

But were they profitable? I find it hard to believe that EA would suspend a *profitable* game series. Most companies will run a successful series into the ground.

pre·ten·tious adj. [list=1] 1: making claim to or creating an appearance of (often undeserved) importance or distinction; "a pretentious country house"; "a pretentious fraud"; "a pretentious scholarly edition" [ant: unpretentious] 2: intended to attract notice and impress others; "an...

Supernova was another box office bomb - if any fans of that movie exist they must be few (based on sales). I was making a facetious reference to Supernova (which I also hated). To be fair - we don't really know how many people that saw WCM actually hated it. Just like we don't know how many TR...

The large group of WCM fans (outside this board) have combined with those that loved SUPERNOVA to rave about both films at another chat board. From this can we assume that all of your friends (whom you told you liked the movie) enjoyed it? And, for those that did enjoy it, after hearing your...

I'm not arguing the fact that more people have heard of TR than WC but I don't think that is why the movie has done so well. (1) Marketing - it's been billed like a female version of Raiders of the Lost Ark, an action/adventure flick. My daughter, who had never heard of TR, told me she wanted to...

I'm not sure I agree with your reasoning. Unless people felt that WCM was a cheap SW ripoff I think they would have wanted to see it just to hold them over until SWEP1 was released. I have never NOT seen a movie because a movie I was waiting for was about to come out. I HAVE avoided movies that...

I've been following the recent releases of Tomb Raider and Final Fantasy with interest. Specifically, how well the producers/writers would pull it off and comparing the success of the translation of game to movie of TR & FF with that of WCM. While the story line on all three seems to have been...

To me, the simplest explanation for the inconsistencies is that the movie was never intended to be a part of the game timeline. While most tv/comic series-turned-movies have made a reasonable attempt at preserving the existing timelines, few do it without at least some inconsistencies. I...

I can't argue on Origin's intent with the movie/timeline (I don't know what they were thinking) but I don't think that authorization/endorsement/licence implicitly means that the movie is to become part of the universe. In many cases it's just that the licensed story is "based" on an existing...

Saturnyne posted: "It's like the X-Men movie. There are many many differences in characterization in the movie than in the comic, yet it's done on purpose. It's to make the viewer realize that the movie doesn't HAVE to tie in with the comic, and in truth it doesn't." I don't believe this is...

But they've had their bombs too - again, Bullrider!?! And I wouldn't say that EA has done all that poorly - C&C, Nox, Shogun, Need For Speed, UO, Sims, Black & White.

One of the few games besides WC that I enjoyed for its plot was Star Trek Academy which used FMV ala Wing Commander. It was also given modest ratings by at least one of the major gaming mags. So I don't think you can say that FMV has a "bad reputation". I can't ever remember anyone equating FMV...

I believe that I heard/read somewhere that McD's had appealed and brought the award down a bit - still in the millions though (the real winner is always the lawyers). And who is worse, the opportunists that bring up frivolous lawsuits or the jurors that award millions to someone too stupid to...
