Sid Meier's Railroads!
The Sid Meier's Railroads! Q&A on FiringSquad talks with Dan Magaha about the now-gold transportation simulation: "There certainly have been some great games in this genre since Sid created the original. We were excited to return to the roots of the classic title, focus on all the things we think made it great, and update the gameplay, visuals, and overall game experience with all the things we can do today that couldn’t be done 20 years ago. In particular, we’re really returning to the core of what made the original RRT so special, and that’s the trains. They are really the star of this game."
Neocron 2
The Neocron 2 Q&A on MMORPG.COM talks with Christian Schütt of Reakktor about their MMORPG sequel: "Neocron Evol 2.2 is an attempt to rebalance the PvP and PvE aspects of the game. During the past development cycles, changes have been made to improve the balancing. These changes often consisted of compromises to acquire a satisfying result within time. In retrospect, these changes have not been as effective as expected."
