New Flash ! I don't think they care what old fans think or want. Consoles / hand-helds is the future apparently ? If Console companies are willing to hand over $$$$$$$$$$ to get a strategic war game on their platform, well, hey! hello !
"IF" Taleworlds was smart, they would take a page out of Creative Assembly's book, who went from Historical games to Warhammer, with a massive boost in profits, and talk to Wargaming regarding creating their own version of Warhammer, in the Bannerlord engine. As we know the Bannerlord engine is far better than the old man Warscape, perfect timing for TW to try. The space game is a red herring.
Of course far better than Warhammer would be Lord of the Rings, similar to Third Age Total War would be a huge winner. But can TW get the rights cheap enough ? The BL engine is suited for Medieval type warfare, so WH and LOTR would be top of the list for conversion.
Lets hope so.
