SpiderMonkey Posted June 12, 2006 Hey I just caught this little news snippet over on Eurogamer: http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=65446 Ubisoft are remaking The Settlers II. I never really figured what it was, but there was something really magical about that game that meant I lost countless hours to it, until I sadly lost the CD. They seemed to strike a winning formula with II and then were just left fixing what wasn't broken in later sequels, which was a shame. A return to the classic makes me very excited. You too?

elmuerte Posted June 13, 2006 they are remaking it, improving the graphics and gameplay I wonder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roderick Posted June 13, 2006 The one-screen-two-mice multiplayer was awesome. You know what this screams? DS conversion. The game is sufficiently low-speed to go realtime on a handheld and the instant wi-fi multiplayer, niiiiiiice. (But then I'm still awaiting the first true kick-ass realtime strategy game on the DS. Warcraft 2 remake; where are you?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SpiderMonkey Posted June 13, 2006 they are remaking it, improving the graphics and gameplayI wonder Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo </vader> The split screen multiplayer was one of my favourite parts too. Seeing how many of my brother's guardhouses (/whatever they were) I could capture before he noticed it was him I was attacking and not one of the AIs we were supposed to be coop-ing against.

Spaff Posted June 18, 2006 Wow that's awesome... they should remake the first one also though as it was best ¬¬ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted June 18, 2006 not really... serif city and settlers 2 were very equal, settlers 2 only had a few extra buildings iirc, but it features better controls and svga. Something they shouldn't forget with the s2 remake is a windowed mode. So many games of the genre forget a windowed mode or they force autopause when the window loses focus. The should make a proper multi tasked game that better blend in with MS Windows. Or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
