Stardock's Star Control & MOO Ambitions
offers some quotes from Stardock CEO Brad Wardell, who admits they have other
old-school ambitions after acknowledging their recently announced
Elemental: War of Magic is an homage to Microprose's Master of Magic.Wardell
says he's also pitched Atari on revisiting both the Star Control and
Master of Orion franchises, albeit unsuccessfully, so there are no current
plans to pursue either project, but he does say Stardock is contemplating
another game as they prepare to put a second internal development team to work.
His comments about the Star Control series and Master of Orion series are
interesting, as, like the recent Superman movie, he envisions pretending the
most recent games in each series occurred in the same non-existent alternate
universe in which Superman III and IV were set, saying a Star Control game would
follow Star Control II, rather than III, and likewise, were they to take on
Master of Orion IV, it would be a sequel to Master of Orion II, sagely
observing: "If you're making a game that ends with '3,' or Something: The
Sequel, it should be similar to the original game."
