whats the verdict on w&w ?

ultima · 11-13-2002, 01:49 AM

Since w&w was realised in a hurry cos of cash problem,
how did it fare ?
Did it sell ?
Is it success?
Then why there is no work on a sequel ?

I think it managed very well. In Finland it keeps selling, ID2 and others might take some salemarket, but still it's going fine.
And cause there's W&W2 coming, I think it successed well enought!

I think W&W did pretty well and probably a lot better than many of the critics thought it would do but that is only a guess on my part.

While Bradley has stated that he eventually would like to do a W&W II, I think he is currently concentrating on projects for which he can get and has funding which are considered more profitable.

Was kind of a sleeper hit in the UK, not much advertising or hype around it.
I am looking forward to W&W 2 if it appears.

well in australia i never even heard of it, till i saw it on sale for $10, that's all the sales hype i need. (and to think i bought morrowind for 90 and it doesn't even work)

I think it´s cheap in most stores nowadays. You can probably get a used copy as well I think. Personally I think the game was somewhat of a hit. We´ve had plenty of members on this board coming and going. I had neveer heard of it though until the hubby brought the game home, then it lay on a shelf for 2 months and then I´ve playing it until now. That´s not a bad grade is it now?

I bought it on Ebay for £5.50, well worth it !.

The game I think could be considered a sleeper hit, with a heavy-duty "cult" following. Definitely a niche-market appeal. For all the bugs and everything, there's something to be said for a game that keeps pulling you back to play more, and more, and more...
