Master of Orion - Conquer the Stars: Reboot Announced

[Flocke]

Given that BotF originates in MOO2, and MOO3 flopped, it`s amazing they plan a reboot.
As I read some developers of the original team take part as well.
Here the announcement trailer:

I'm a bit concerned, about the publisher, though. If you know WoT, you probably know why: its business model. Lets hope nothing like that gets into that MoO reboot. But imo, there's a possibiliy that they'll come up with something like that. Maybe in an adjusted form. Who knows.

interesting news, though. thanks for sharing.

yeah, I have same concern and the trailer and arts I`ve seen don`t make me much excited either
to my feeling they picked the MOO brand expecting to make a good deal and gain wide publicity, just that
so the characters we see are in child oriented comic style and the strategic part presumably lags depth in favor of simplicity
still I find it amazing there is a new MOO title to come

I saw the announcement earlier. I'm less than enthused. "Huge" maps with only 100 stars? Please.
