The sky is falling again for the umph-teenth time and what if it does,.. do you wait everyday in animosity to close the door behind you before it hits you in the rearend?
The more I read this forum about the game coming to its end with all this negative remorse talk about what if? Enjoy the game while it's here before you sign it off
as R.I.P. and the eulogy is read.
EDIT FOR MY 2 cents Picture....... :lol:

Well is kind a tradition to have the classic debate about if the game is doomed, i remember this kind of debate was here back in 2013 when i was new... traditions must be respected, lets make a game this year, lets count how many thread with this theme start from now until December, count is on 01 :D

If everything we have her (in our accounts) is transferred to a new engine with no charge to the customers other than our already payed membership then would be a non profitable business in the short term, but may keep and bring back players for the long term since would be all renewed. Still i think that any new engine or new The Hunter would be made as a separate new game, is just too gigantic task to develop and implement all the reserves and items we have here into a engine in just 1 or 2 years, we have 10 years of development running here. A new start would need to be small, a couple of reserves at time, limited animals, slowly testing, and fixing, and adjusting. and then we have COTW for that, is EW big enough in manpower and funds to do the development 2 new huge games at same time? i don't know, Maybe after COTW start to fade and a new product be needed.
Well! here is a realistic approach of the problem.I agree. For that reason let's play till any new development ( good or bad)

Lol could be really though if there are "load" of people playing with GPU's with graphics processing ability of a toaster there GPU is about as old as the game. Also i'm sure "loads of people have spent at least $150 in this game. If you can drop that on this you can get a GTX 1050 Ti for that price not the best card out there but it will still run most anything. Deff run this at least around 100fps i use to have one till i upgraded.

Hey gas, you forgot to bury Trophy Hunter 2003, Deer Hunter 2003, Bird Hunter 2003 and Deer Hunter Tournament. Oh sorry I remember now, DHT was stillborn, it never really lived did it.

Been around here awhile. Seen a few ups and downs. I've always had a passion for this game since the day it was first teased back in '08. I remember telling myself and trying to convince Mrs. Mills that I needed to buy a new computer in order to play this masterpiece. Eventually I did, but it wasn't until 2013. Before that I played off and on as a guest on my old potato of a 'puter. This game has outlasted almost any game I can think of, apart from WoW. I know there has been mention of a gameplan for 2019. However, it would be nice if we could have something a little more concrete. Personally, I feel it would be best if we could get a 2.0 version that is standalone from Classic and COTW. That way, Classic players still have this beauty and people who want a modern version have the option to upgrade. I get that this is a huge business decision but it could get some of the COTW only players to consider a membership for theHunter 2.0.

:lol: Maybe I can... :shock:

@Snakeeyes-

I know, but there's actually a lot of people playing on low graphics and it's the most they can handle. Mine runs it fine, but if you have a gander at the screenshots thread, there's a ton of uhh... very plastic-looking shots :D I think some people play on Low just to better see animals, but many have said they wouldn't be able to handle an update.

Personally, I'd love to see a better version, as the current is quickly getting outdated, now. It doesn't look bad, but it's not great anymore even on the highest settings. What I'd like to see MORE than that, though, is improved animal models, animations, and AI. I hunt for Whitetail and sometimes their fat, weird models make me cringe, and I really wish they had more realistic behavior.
