Yes, I think it's time to announce TFHM as officially dead and buried.
Hello?
http://www.cohtitan.com/forum/index.php/topic,9171.msg132332.html#msg132332It's been linked 3 times now.
None the less, at this point I am more over looking forward to MWM's City of Titans. It's a project that is completely funded, and will come out. That's something we can all be assured of (unless something catastrophic would happen). However, when it comes to City of Heroes, I can only say I hope that it's purchased and opened again at some point. It just doesn't seem right.
Also, I've always wanted a sequel to City of Heroes more than I wanted to continue playing the original since around 2010. Some might consider this as 'bad,' but it's the truth for me.
That's why City's closure really hit me hard. I was sure there wouldn't be another game created that was as fun as it that I would enjoy again in my life.
But this community sure pulled through so far with MWM and it's City of Titans!
I consider City of Titans to fill the role of a 'City of Heroes sequel' so far. It's not direct, but it looks darn close enough for me. I'll have to wait and see how close it is to the original in spirit. City of Heroes just gave this certain 'feel' of gameplay that kept me addicted; I can only hope the spiritual successors follow suit.
Anyway, back on track, don't say TFHM is dead unless we know for sure. We're left out of business practice, so assuming it's 'dead' isn't the right thing to do at the moment, until explicitly stated. Sure we aren't contributing to any company's decisions at the moment, but that doesn't mean one of the companies we have contacted isn't working on something.
