Vietcong dev*

Hi

I would like to ask if anyone knows the true story behind VC.

I was told by another clan member that Gathering / Pterodon / Illusion Software / take2 ??? what ever there called
was sold to EA Games after Vietcong 2 and that there will never be another Vietcong.

I was also told EA was going to make a VC3 but scraped the idea because there was no demand for it
and also no longer support VC.

There for no one owns it and there will be no more production thus no more copy rights apply to Vietcong.

I ask because I don't believe it is all true' "but it could be"

Cheers

You have it right,all the data from there is true.
No more "Pterodon",no more VietCong...,and they were bought by many companies before EA (2K),and some DEVs left it,but no longer claim the right on any product from it...
That is why is so hard to develop 1.7 version,EA doesn't want to put it on free market,I mean the game specs etc...
And,EA does not have intent to develop VC3 in near future.
EDIT :
Not sure,but i think it's not EA that bought them,but Illusion Softworks. Rest of the story is correct.
You can check this link also,if you are so willing to know entire story :

Thanks for the link, Was a nice short read of all the posts.
didn't say much about who has ownership / copy right of VC
but some good points were made.

Such a great game, it is rather silly to let it die, someone out there from EA or whatever
should realize how much vc it liked and also think lets do a vc3.

but saying that, vc1.60 re-birth with today's graphic's more guns and skins
would be the way to go, vc2 kind of killed the game play.

Another reason for vc1.70 to get finished sooner rather then later Grin

I think this is part of the story. Here is something I copied from another forum, purported to be written by Jarek Kolar. I seem to remember reading this a long, long time ago so I think it is legit. But for what it is worth ...

Let me express some after-release thoughts. I am going to write them here on the forum, because it's nothing I could put on our official site... it's only for you, our fans.

During the development, I was the most optimistic guy in the team and even in the days full of problems I was very optimistic. Now when the development is over, the optimism fell down like a coat. How could I be so naive to believe that if we will keep our part -- finishing the game in good quality and on time -- everything is going to be fine? How wrong I was. We were working hard to finish the game as scheduled, and then because of the damn manuals being not ready, the game slipped few weeks. Then number of other reasons is ruing our game. I was expecting some support, some promotion, something, but I just had pain in my head. Where is the help they have promised, where is the "after the realease" which have they spoke about? What's going on?

Oh dear, how naive I was, how many bad decisions I made, what wrong ideas I had. Many. When we have finished VC1 I had a feeling that we are SKILLED and EXPERIENCED developers. I thought that I know how to make a good game. No. I didn't know anything. The game development is very complicated and you may easily make wrong step. I don't want to complain on our publisher, because I believe that all the publishers are the same. The only person I can complain about is myself.

Maybe VC2 will be our last game. Well, maybe the last non-successful one. Although I am very pessimistic at the moment and I see everything dim, I feel that there will be good things coming...
