Well, I think we can agree we disagree. Not sure a JA2 remastered would be more successful. You are forgetting all the players who were not born when JA1 and even JA2 were relased. All the players who got used to a 3D environment, and like it or not to XCOM standards (show cover, show hit percentage ...). Personally, I like it the old way. However, even I still can use a map, well GPS is much more convenient. From the videos I saw, I don't understand why you think they f..d the game that much. Of course lowering your expectations is the best way to not get disappointed.

Nope. Just my feeling, I mean it. You have another, your call. To me, you just want a JA2 1.13 remastered, not a JA3. Would you even consider a map rotation? Personally I don't want a "perfect" game that 100% suits to my taste. I want a game I will have fun with and that hopefully revives the franchise. I'm too old to wait for another 25 years. You do not help the game just writing harsh criticisms. For those who stand French, these videos are well done and explanatory. The guy is enthusiastic. His only concern is the CTH. It's why I have suggested the option. And yes he has played JA2. First Episode (Sorry I don't know how to directly attach the video, born earlier than the net, even earlier than ARPANET)

Have you guys seen the Strike Back series (HBO I think)?

First of all, I am very pleased by what I have seen and read so far. JA2 has always been my all over favorite. I’m pretty sure I will thoroughly enjoy your game and have a lot of fun. That’s the main point as far as I am concerned. Congrats Haenimont. For me The Boians and the team have captured the essence of its beloved predecessor. I don’t know if it will become another tactical game standard as XCOM and have the same commercial success. I wish you so. Maybe once used to some new mechanisms, old JA2 (1.13) worshippers will eventually reckon it as a true spiritual successor. Watch the videos, it’s Jagged Alliance : - It’s definitely not XCOM : AP system, free usage of AP (not the XCOM’s move then shoot), aiming … - Differentiated ammo checked (standard, Armor Piercing, Hollow Point,tracers …) - Humor : checked - Strategic layer checked, improved : militia , doctoring, weapon maintenance, but also scouting areas … - Mercs personality and relations : checked - RPG : checked, improved, for instance a high leadership opens new conversations nodes. - New Intel system : gathering or finding intel on unknown sectors may provide tactical advantages. - Elevation points provide new tactical opportunities as compared to JA2 - Stealth kills. - Destructions. -Day/Night, Weather conditions - Improved weapons modifications - IMP : checked - M.E.R.C. : it seems there is something ... - Bobby Ray, let's see what is offered before grieving. … Graphics are really gorgeous, and the maps detailed. Just my two cent about 2 controversial points, I don’t think that implies major code modifications: CTH : while it’s the way vanilla JA2 implemented it, not showing the percentage is too controversial. Influencers or journalists might kill the game, just because of it. So offer the option: - That’s the way : Do not show the percentage - You know nothing, Jon Snow : Show the percentage 1st turn repositioning of foes. It’s ok for me, but some are complaining, perhaps they haven’t seen the stealth kill feature. Again give the option - I’m ready for anything : foes are allowed to reposition. - I love it when a plan comes together! : foes are not allowed to reposition. And if not yet done, add a hotkey to force turn based mode, especially for a stealth approach when you come close. I won't comment too much about artistic choices or portaits, I's your game not mine. Let's just say that I like some I prefer outfits that reflect the personlaity rather than military ugly gears (it's Jagged Alliance not yet another military simulator).
