Sin But Once

[Dec 03, 2003, 1:38 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

A post on the Shacknews Forums by Ritual's Tom "ParadoX" Mustaine outlines their failed attempt to generate interest in a sequel to Sin, their Quake II-engine shooter, bearing out the Latin proverb: "Indulgent gods, grant me to sin once with impunity. That is sufficient. Let a second offence bear its punishment." (thanks World of Quotes). Here's the deal:

We were working Sin2, but there was no publisher interest in today’s game market. Even have a really slick demo in a next generation technology (beyond Quake3.)

Maybe it can happen in a few years when the next round of "resurrect old game franchises" mentality resurfaces.

Until that day....

Something bad is happening to the industry if an established studio with an established franchise can't find a single publisher

I hate to nitpick, but I don't think one game constitutes a "franchise". I know people refer to Half-Life as a franchise but that's because the (eventual) release of the second game is a given.
