"Where the hell..."

Did my beloved Skies of Arcadia 2 disappear to? It was supposedly due out 3 months back and yet it didn't even debut at E3 this year. Love the first game for many different reasons however after an initial "wow Skies 2" sort of reaction it has gone downhill ever since. If anyone has any info regarding it then let me know, as far as I am aware though it has gone all Tom Clancy on us...

Cheers!

Your beginning to sound like er-no. Nintendo just won't merge!

And I was mearly saying that unless they're going to do it well, I'd rather the original wasn't tainted by a sequel's inferiority, Matrix-style. The plot needs to be better than [SPOILERS] Ramirez comes back from the dead wanting revenge/Vigoro returns to come after Aika with his, umm, "cannon".

Maybe it'll be a launch title for the SEGA/Sammy and Nintendo joint console.

(lets confess neither can survive against Sony and Nintendo on their own... but together????)

Hell, the plot and script is the thing they could most improve.

Make SOA: 2 faster in battles (erg!) and add a half decent plot. Then it'll be fantasmo. SOA was class.

You'd rather there wasn't a game based on one of the finest ever RPG's ever.

You're one crazy fish.

I hate to say it.. I would kill for a new Skies game.

But is it really needed? The story was concluded.

Unless they have a *very* clever plot planned, I would rather it wasn't made.

It'll turn into NiGHTS, one of those games the hardcore fans of SEGA so desperatly want... and will never get.

*wipes another tea*

Mmmm .... teas.

Give some of them to Skies 2 as well.
It must come. It must.

*teas for the lost Shenmue*

Well, at least no-one's mentioned Shenmue III yet....

Things surely cannot be that bad, right?

I'm waiting for this more than most..

Firstly, Overworks merged with another dev team a while back, they're now called Sega-Wow.. they focus less on RPGs, but are currently porting Legends onto PC for a Japanese only (currently) release. Now Sega and Sammy have merged.. it's unclear what this means. But as far as anyone knows, Skies 2 isn't in development, and isn't going to be anytime soon. I know there was an article about it being in the planning stages two years ago, but that was before Overworks merged. I think Skies 2 was lost there and then, for the moment.
