Before any other new things are added? There are two flaws with that proposal. The first being that some players might not be happy to sit around for a couple of years waiting for new content. That's not an exaggeration, two years is an educated (and optimistic) guess as to how long it would take to migrate everything from the current engine to the new engine. Unless of course a watered-down version of theHunter on a shiny new engine, but with a fraction of the content and functionality would be adequate. It sure wouldn't be for me. The second flaw is that I doubt memberships alone would cover the development costs. I know not every player owns everything in the store, and that even without new content being released, existing content would still sell. I just don't think a break from content creation (reserves, animals, weapons, world items and so on) would bode well for the monthly sales figures. I really don't.Beano8U wrote:Well. Maybe an overhaul should be on the cards then? Before any other new things are added (after the new reserve, of course). Who else would like to see my dream?
Don't get me wrong, I would love nothing more than to turn on theHunter one day and watch it fire up in a modern engine that takes advantage of my hardware, looks incredible and runs perfectly optimised. I just know that the amount work involved in such a project would be unimaginable. Unless, like I said above, they released a cut-down version of the game with a fraction of the content, reserves, animals, etc. I'm just not prepared to sacrifice the reserves, species and vast amount of content just for the visuals. It's the gameplay and the constantly evolving nature of theHunter that has kept me hooked all these years. That and the community. If it was all about visuals, for me, there are plenty other games on Steam that could tick that box. Unfortunately none of them capture my attention like theHunter.
But yes, to answer your question, I would like to see your dream.
