The buzz of releasing a game

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/The buzz of releasing a game

Hmm, sequels. I guess sequels are a way to put in all the features you had to abandon from the original game. Kind of like how Microsoft do windows. They probably planned Vista in 1985 but had to release 10 versions of it named with different windows names until they finally realised their dream. Kind of like designing Virtua Fighter 5 but only have a AM1 motherboard, so you release your alpha build, call it virtua fighter 1 then keep releasing what you have every year or so until you get the final product that is virtua fighter 5.

Most sequels get writtne because of feature creep on the original I think, but it's good because you have the original source to work from, so you can vastly improve the original game without devoting as much time. Xilvian knows what I mean. ;-)
