Resurgence or Death Throes?
9 February 2011 in News by Captain Calamitous
Now don’t get me wrong.
I love SLA Industries, it’s a freakin fantastic game, the world it runs in is devastatingly bleak and grey, there’s no hope, it’s totally commercialised and has no soul.
That’s what makes it so good.
Why am I saying this?
Nightfall games have just started a forum for the discussion of SLA Industries, as is only to be expected with Mr Allsop at the artistic helm, it looks bloody great.
The question I ask is, is it too little, too late?
Without a major rewrite of the system, a total update of the art and some serious effort to get releases out to the fans, SLA is as good as dead, sure it clings to life like an octogenarian on full life support, but without some serious regeneration it’s going nowhere.
The Nightfall games guys are great, and I wish them all the best and I am also a total fanboi who will buy whatever they release, but at some point you have to ask the question what do we need to do, and when you figure out the answer, you get on and do it.
The franchise has been dormant for so long it needs a major amount of work without which it is just spitting in the wind.
Nightfall Games I salute the attempt, make sure you follow through.
Glenn.
