[Looking great!]

I'm going to have to respectfully disagree.

 

Pre-orders by major studios are extremely common.

Don't take my word for it, here is a list of 75 right now, including Final Fantasy, The Elder Scrolls, Diablo, & Street Fighter.

I love JA, and have very high hopes for JA3 (especially if it is mod-dable), but no way is it bigger than those titles.

Hey there!

The game is actually produced and published by a real (and huge) publisher. So a gofundme campaign would be super inadequate for this game.

 

Why not both?

 

Nothing stops pre-orders, right?

The Jagged Alliance series is traditionally my biggest video-game "heartbreaker" when it comes to sequels.

 

It appears this attempt has everything right, and I would really like to see this come to market.  Have you considered a "Go Fund Me" or similar?

 

Thanks, and good luck.

This is like trying to pick your favorite kid.
 

Impossible.  I love 'em all.

[This looks so AWESOME]

i mean am not playing PC games since more than 15 years now, it was great back in the days when we didnt even had laptops, playing on our desktops but times changed totally, console gaming took totally over. Its also way better for eyes to play on console, big screen and been away at least 3 m. I cant imagine now days playing a game for so many hours on a laptop just been 40 or 50 cm away, no way. I agree the gameplay could be affected a lil if it comes for both but as example i really loved to play Jagged Alliance Rage or XCom on console, would never do it on PC. Am currently playing JA1 on PC and cant play it more then 2 hours a day. So it is a must for Jagged Alliance 3 to come also on console, especially on PS5, it will increase the amount of players and it will be great for business.

 

I'm not sure what you mean about laptops, they've been around since the 1980's.

Also, console gamers have ALWAYS outnumbered PC gamers.  And if we are really talking about just reaching the widest possible audience, the correct answer is mobile (i.e. phone games).  Their numbers are stomping every other platform into the ground.  

If they can do a console-port, great!  The core audience for this type of title is going to be PC gamers, though.  Not many console gamers chomping at the bit for TBS.

 

Paradox Interactive runs a very successful model on PC platform gaming.  They are deep strategic titles, and would not interest the average console gamer.  More importantly, they open up the modding scene in a way that consoles just can't begin to compete with.  I hope this studio DOES utilize DLC.  We need them to make money if we want to see the market continue to produce these types of games.

 

P.S. For anyone who hasn't tried BattleTech, I highly recommend it.  It hits many (but not all) of the JA2 notes.  I would hold off on the RougeTech mod until you have finished the original campaign, much like 1.13.
